Friday Tidbits
Posted by michellemoquin on April 11th, 2008
Oh, I am happy it’s Friday!
Hmmm… No major subject today…just a few Friday tidbits that I wanted to share to get your weekend going in a safe and pleasurable way…
It has been brought to my attention that there is a looming virus out there ready to strike and if you are like me, a heads-up on anything that might mess up my computer is at the top of my list. Have you hear of ”POSTCARD’ ? Yep, a new virus substantiated by Snopes, so you can warn all of your friends. It is real! So feel free to pass this along. Be alert for it today and the next coming days. Check out Snopes for all of the alias names that it may be sent under.
Here’s the gist on it:
Do not open any message with an attachment entitled ‘POSTCARD’, regardless of who sent it to you. It is a virus which opens A POSTCARD IMAGE, which ‘burns’ the whole hard disc C of your computer.
This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list. This is the reason why you need to send this e-mail to all your contacts It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it.
If you receive a mail called’ POSTCARD,’ even though sent to you by a friend, do not open it! Shut down your computer immediately.
This is the worst virus announced by CNN. It has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.
Oh and by the way…speaking of hard drives….I just got one of those portable external hard drives…not the USB Cruzer mini 1.0 GB…got one of those too – great for snapping up quick info….No this is a portable WD passport – 250GB – got it at Costco and I back-up my comp once a week. I highly recommend something like this. Great for traveling too. Don’t want to carry your laptop? Just download this on anyone’s computer and it is like you are working on your own. Cool eh?
Le’ts see…what else? Oh yeah…Are you a wino? I mean that in a good way. Maybe I should ask, “Are you a wine lover, or maybe a wine connoisseur? Or at least you’d like to be?” I have the perfect little didley for you. It’s called ‘Nirvino’ — I just love that name – says it all huh? Anyway, this is a new web-based mobile community of vinophiles that puts supreme wine wisdom right in the palm of your hand. That is if you’re one of those who has an iphone or some other PDA to download it to. I am not one of those but hey I still like the product and one can always sign up on-line – it’s easy and free.
Here’s the gist on this:
The site’s omniscient rating system aggregates opinions, wine blog scores, and print reviews into a quantity of stars (five being the highest) for each wine in its database. The user-friendly format with brief descriptions helps you create a perfect pairing.
In a pinch at dinner for an albariño to drink with your tapas? Enter the restaurant’s contenders into the Nirvino mobile application on your handheld and it will expertly suggest the ideal vintage.
Monthly events for local members, sommeliers, chefs, and winemakers to share love of the vine will bring you one step closer to wine utopia.
Now this is a site Doug would love ’cause he is really into wine. And I know ZL would too. How about you? Me? I love wine but I’m not a big drinker. However, it would be fun to use this when I’m racking my brain for a dinner party. Could come in handy this weekend….
That’s it for today – Have a fab Friday folks!
Gratefully your blog host,
michelle ?

We have had a most interesting experience. We have had done to us what we have done to many planets in the past. Someone(s) removed our memory of all events concerning this planet. We discovered the lost because Adam was making his usual sneak visit to the past to visit friends that he has made there.
When he returned he asked about the blogs and the Climax. We did not know what he was talking about. He directed us to you blog. We were stunned. How could this happen to us? And Why?
The Emperor still is not aware of the reason for our mission on earth, and He does not remember the Climax. What a particular dilemma we are in. We have advised the Climax not to enter this solar system less they experience some anomaly.
The Girls will be shuttled in and escorted to their destinations by us. They will have to remain on earth for 30 days before they can request to return to the climax.
I have not scientific way to account for our experience. It is not the experience we have given others. This is surgical in its enactment.

I am Sheikh. Madaline, Nadia and I were sent to the the CSA planet. I am asian. Nadia is African. We were appalled at what we saw when we landed. The planet was in the year 2323 but its technology was primitive in relation to what our planet has accomplished.
All the women were reduced to vessels for the men’s sperm. Even the white women had no voting rights and could not sit on juries or hold government jobs.
They had a history similar to our earth’s. They experienced a WWI and a WWII. The difference is that the CSA aligned itself with the Germans during WW II and the USA sat our the war. The result was that Germany won. The other white countries sued for peace. To show their sincerity they turned over all their Jews to the Germans. As a result there are no Jews on the planet. They were exterminated.
During WW I all American Indians were exterminated to accommodate the CSA and elicit their help against the germans. There are no American Indians on the planet. They were exterminated. We were proudly shown stuffed bodies of men women and children in museums that depicted them in their “natural habits.” They were listed under “Exterminated savages.”
Australia was a satellite of Germany. They had exterminated all human life on the island except for germans. Madaline was so embarrassed to be white that I showed her the communique that I had received just before we landed on the CSA planet. It was from Latifa, Liang, and Lydia. They had landed on a planet that had been conquered by the Chinese. It was a big ball of pollution. They had exterminated all Japanese and enslaved everyone else. The pollution was so massive that everyone on the planet had some form of asthma. No one lived more that 52 years.
Madaline said that we had to do something about these men. So she devised a plan to exterminate them. But she did not want to make it easy on the men to die. She wanted them to suffer. They would have to put in 20 years as slaves before they would be boiled alive and fed to the other men slaves. We will need at least 4,500 women to train the women of this planet and another 4,500 to enforce and police the men slaves.
I resisted the part about enslavement and torture and the boiling them for food for the others. But Nadia said that we had to make the karma work for us. I reminded her that we know that aliens gave us our god myths. She said that it was not about god, but rather about making things right. So I agreed.
I am looking forward to becoming a part of your GIRLZ. I would rather be taking orders from you than voting on what we should do. I always seem to lose on a 2 to 1 vote. I am willing to make it a good day to die for the Climax and my comrades. But I am looking forward to having a Commander who will reflect a true Earth solution to the various earths that we encounter.
Although we have the capability to destroy these barbaric governments, We do not have the numbers to police and control what would be left. So for now, we can only note the planets that we want to revisit with a vengeance as Madaline says.
We have visited some beautiful civilizations; planets that are so fantastic that I would be content to spend the rest of my life on any of them. But Madaline is stuck on “fixing” these earths that abuse women. She has her heart set on “castrating the bastards and making them eat them with their balls, slowly.
I await your position, respectively

Hey Michelle and the blog group, Tao included….it appears lots has happened, will catch up better when I return to Singapore. Too much kinfo requiring concentration to absorb in fun mode.
Right now, funny I would tune in today, I found an internet cafe in wine country – Margaret River (not good internet connects in WA Western Australia), must tell you, it is beautiful and have tasted a few vinos that are worthy but not seriously note-worthy, Napa/Sonoma wineries kick US ass over these OZ wines : )
I’ll update my blog from Sg also, no time now, busy having fun…
Loved the to-do list thing, I’m big into that and am almost as organzed as all that already, though I like the mozzie (that’s oz talk for mosquito) list, I have not separated it out like that, I also let things get moved on my calendar 3x’s, after that they are deleted (obviously they don’t rank!).
ok, more from Sg in a few days, I’ll blog about Perth/Margaret River, etc…briefly also

I am Latifa. We are on our way back to earth. I will miss this life so much. Space is truly the final frontier. It is also a journey of amazement after amazement. Overall, we have been very well received by our hosts. They have accomplished such peace and beauty in their solar systems.
Tal has said that if we wish to stay on earth, that by 2011 the earth will be telling it inhabitants that Mars will be available for possible colonization. I wish to state now that i want to return with you. I know that we have to wait 30 days before we can request officially to return. But Madaline has been helping us work out how we can best exit our earth lives. Some of us would like to leave a cyborg behind, some wish to take family members(girls only) along, and others wish to make a clean break. I would like to discuss my choices with you before I leave. If I have to make a sacrifice, let me assure you that i want to return whatever I have to do to do this I will do.
I know that we have all these powers to keep if we stay on earth. But I am not looking forward to suppressing my superior mental and physical abilities for 30 days much less for a life time, especially since my new body will give me 100 plus more years on earth. I will out live every one I know, including my children.
Tal says I could use my powers to become the most powerful person in my country and to do good here. I have no doubt of this, but I am or could be a valuable member of the GIRLZ. I am battle tested and fully capable of taking orders and supporting my comrades. All I ask is for an interview with you. Let me show you I can be someone that you would want in you command. Azza says she will recommend me highly, should you ask.
Frankly, I am only interested in returning to pick up my two girls and my son, if you will over rule Madaline and Lydia and allow it. If not I am fully willing to leave without them.
Sir
Latifa
