Opened a browser in Windows and got a nasty message on a frozen screen. There was an error code with a very elaborate message re security failure, IDE controller, access denied, critical error detected,,,,call this number for a Microsoft tech 1-844-809-6672. The screen was totally frozen. A shut down could cause loss of all my files. Couldn't do a thing. No short cuts worked. Couldn't print the screen. This took my mind off of Trump's latest stupidity!
Called Apple Care. These people are the greatest, best, all American techs on the planet. I have a partitioned MAC. I asked the tech to Google the phone number. It is a scam! They'll talk you out of some money and do a fake, nonsensical fix. I was complimented on my 'good instincts'. After the phone call, I shut down the machine via the power button and logged back on in the Mac side. Googled the number myself. Then went back into Windows from there.
So..............I did download some Easter clip art a couple of days ago. No warnings were displayed via the virus shield that's in place for Windows. Can't trust anything off the net.
I swear our White House has become a three ringed circus. Pathetic! It is going to hit 60* here today. Will enjoy this. The ground is still snow covered. A few of the irises are exposed. I was able to check them. They are whole and in tact and without vole damage. Even though these are on the perimeter this is a good sign. Wish the ground was clear enough for some clean up.

Glad things worked out but what a scare with your puter.
We have snow predicted for tonight but hopefully won't last. My first crocus bloomed today, and the tulips and hyacinths are up in my layered pot. So tired of winter!
Tired of Trump and his antics and it's only a month in. The Trump juniors are going to be here opening a Trump hotel. Protestors are lining up and it could get nasty?

Already so sick of 45 and all his cronies. Scared for our nation as never before. But I will not let it change who I am. If anything I am being even more courteous and kind than ever because I don't know how else to fight back. I'll protest when and where I can and hope that eventually those in power grow a spine and certain male body parts and stand up to the lunatic before something truly horrific happens. The only hope I have is that other than his offspring, they are all old white men and they will die off eventually.

His impeachment can't happen soon enough.
