I know this is a little off topic so please bear with me. With the
holidays quickly approaching I am always thinking of good gift ideas. I found some material last nite that makes beautiful, colourful throw pillows with fish on them. One yard will make either two pillows with the fish on both sides or four pillow fronts which you can buy the coordinating material and get four pillows out of it. Cost is $4 a yard and another $2 for stuffing, which breaks down to $3 per pillow. This is a great idea for folks with a nautical theme or a childs room and if you are handy sewing should only take about an hour to make. Vicki Visit me on line at http://shamrock4u.250free.com |

If you click on her site, watch out for the attempted gator spyware
download. Bob What in the world are you talking about? To the best of my knowledge there is nothing wrong with my web site. All tho it has nothing to do with fish keeping, it has been seen by thousands and never once have I heard tell of anything wrong. If there is a problem then let me know what you are talking about so I can fix it. Sincerely, Vicki Visit me on line at http://shamrock4u.250free.com |

It's the price you pay for your free web hosting with "250free". The host
automatically tries to install the notorious "Gator" spyware on all of your visitor's computers. Sorry to be the bearer of this bad news as you seem genuinely unaware of it. You probably inadvertantly loaded the Gator program long ago which would explain why you never see it when visiting your own site. The Gator "cookie" on your computer already has you flagged as a Gator victim. Gatorware is an invasive, privacy violating software "ramora" that no one in their right mind would want in their computer. It's pops up as a utility plug-in and looks to newbies like something they might "need" to load to better view your site. If you truly can't afford decent hosting and are compelled to use that "free" service, and you want to entice people to visit, you might consider, as a basic courtesy, at least warning people to Say No to the Gator plug-in when it pops up. -Paul S.

OIC and thank you for the heads up. I never saw anything because I am
on a webtv and we never get any pop ups at all. We can't upload anything on this and do not have cookies. When I look at my site on my pc I never get pop ups there either because I have a pop up stopper to catch that kind of stuff. I will look in to this and see what I can do to keep others from having to worry about their privacy. Thank you again for the information.
