Works great on gout. Neosporin, a leafy vegetable diet, and Zyloprim.

Zyloprim worked wonders for me.

Any man that cannot escape from the ditch of darn is not fit breeding material. Young mothers navigate that gully with strollers for exercise.

Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

That's on the EAST side of the Ravine of Doom, My side is a cliff with a 30 foot drop. :devil: Of course the Fruit Bat seems to be able to get up and down without a problem, I pulled a muscle the last time I went down.

Of course Red Rum is preparing to climb Mt Kilimanjaro.

You can try to hit alt-ctrl-del to see if there are any suspicious processes running. Try to close some of them to see if the blinking stops.
There isn't anything else running...

I've just figured out that I can use the task manager to run anything that I can't see on my desktop, except the sound. I have to adjust that before the computer decides to make the icons disappear.
