What's odd is that clearing the history seems to help, which doesn't make much sense (at least not to me). I've done the usual and beyond just for clean up's sake:

Clear cache and cookies
Clear history
Make sure browser is up to date
^Same with drivers
Unchecked programs run>msconfig> startup
Defragged


But at times, like right now, even facebook takes between twenty to thirty seconds to load.
reboot the modem/router?
run a spyware finder?

No matter how old I get, I'll love:

The sound of a snow blower
Snowball fights
The sound of a snow shovel scraping concrete
The taste of freshly fallen snow
Snow Angels
Wanting hot cocoa when coming back from outside
"Writing" my name in the snow
Malfunctioning Car Celluloids
Dogs "shoveling" snow with their noses
Power outages
Smoking a Cigar is sub zero temperatures
Snowmen
Having Mother Nature cool your drink for you
Snowcream ice cream
Snow pranks (covering a friends car or house door to the brim with snow)
The smell that jeans+snow makes
Dumping a hand full of snow down a friend's shirt
Watching people in NC freak the fudge out as if aliens were landing
Going on a Wintery Walk
Women with rosy red cheeks bundled as warm as possible


Snow rules.

You forgot snow forts and my kids currently have the coolest one on the block. Last nights snow fall was border line for the amount that I break out the snow blower, but shoveling creates bigger piles which makes better forts.

Combofix seemed to have helped, but it's only a temporary fix.

Yes I did. Also making snow tunnels.



Decided I am going to drive my wife crazy today by speaking like the Mall Manager from South Park (Finger Bang episode). Huh? Sounds like a plan. What?

Luke, what's your wireless adapter? Some of them in laptops are prone to failure. I had to go out and buy a new one, and saw a jump in performance by 13 MB/s (jumped to what I should have been getting from barely anything).

Not sure, but I'll check it out if the problem keeps occurring.

Said it before, will say it again; Facebook is awesome for what I use it for. I have a little over twenty actual friends that I keep in touch with, and that's it. My Sister does go nuts with the baby pictures, but I've yet to have a friend post something dumb.

I see facebook as linked-in where you don't always have to talk about business, but usually do.
