Download and install Malwarebytes immediately.
https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download
If they offer you the full trial, take it. They won't ask you for any credit card info and after like 15 days you'll just go to their free protection.
Then run a scan on your computer. Full scan if you can figure it out in the menu, but at the very least run a regular scan.
Any "malware icon" showing up that isn't from Windows Defender or an alternative Antivirus program that you installed on your computer yourself is a scam. Do not click on that, don't call any phone numbers that pop up, don't put any personal info into your computer anywhere until you run Malwarebytes.

Yeah. We had a lot of fun with those skeletons. We'd put hats and other costume stuff on them too when we were posing them. It's pretty hilarious because the cameras were on all the time so they knew who was doing it, but if they fired me and Ed they'd be even more screwed than they already were so nobody even bothered to tell us to stop doing it and they'd just fix them every morning.
I got a good chuckle out of that SIX!
Once upon a time, when I had a lot more energy, sis and I were talking about what you could do with posable skeletons for Halloween. We were thinkng of things like .. put a pirate's hat and coat on one, with a cutlass between it's teeth, crawling up the front stoop. Or climbing out of a grave. Or one digging another up.
I like your ideas better! We could have made an X-rated display.

Oh no!
But you should count yourself lucky, I would think Brenda. Maybe in Canada the creep hasn't been as bad as here in the states, but back when I was working overnight at K-Mart in the mid 2010's we already had to hear Christmas music while the Halloween merch was still on the racks.

I can do about one week of Christmas music per year. That's it.

I'm a Democrat now. Let's erase history, burn everything down and start over. China's going to end up owning everything anyways.
Maybe the creep of Christmas music is getting slower as I haven't noticed any on in the local malls. Which is a relief.
Now, the Christmas merch started creeping in along with the Halloween stuff. And that's been going on for years.
Now, that is funny SIX.
One week then you are a better person than me, SIX. Usually when I start hearing that I want to rip the wiring out of the speaker system and that is what happened at the dentist on Monday.
Oh... you're no doubt a better person than me, Brenda.

Oh... come on now. You have to know what Paul McCartney song I'm talking about. One of the worst Christmas songs ever made. An evil little ear worm that will never leave your head once Christmas comes around because they play it constantly.

Sounds like a blast you and your friend had with those skeletons for sure.
I am being serious here when I said that I had to go and look it up. Once I read the title then I remembered the song. But I've never heard it that much.

I've got Malwarebytes on here but the last time the free trail came up I didn't do anything with it. I should check that out in a minute.

Yeah. I miss the dude. After we all got fired overnights at KMart before the store closed for good he kind of just disappeared. I hate to say it though, but I don't know if I would have been able to sober up if we kept hanging around. Lots and lots of drugs were done by most of the overnight crew, and any time we hung out outside of work we were drinking. Hope he's doing alright.

You haven't heard it that much????!!!!! Lucky you!

Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.

That's a hard one then SIX. On the one hand you lost a friend but the other you gained your health and lost an addiction. I hope he's okay too and maybe he found his way to sobriety as well.
I am totally serious about this Paul McCartney song. And I have a fairly good memory for music.
Trust me when I say you are better than me for ignoring Christmas music for a week without wanting to trash the sound system it is coming out of. A few minutes in a store or a local mall and all I want is to rip the wiring out the sound system. All I could think at the dentist on Monday is, "It's only the beginning of November."

Happy Sunday,BRENDA.
Oh BTW, I had to look up the Paul McCartney song too. Then, when it didn't ring any bells I played a little bit.
Im sure I've never ever heard it in my life. From what I heard, I'm glad for that!
But unlike you and SIX, I actually like (most) Xmas songs. They bring up so many happy memories. When we were little, mom and dad actually put up the Xmas tree when we were alseep. It was a wonder to sneak out in the early AM with my sisters and find the tree, all decorated with gifts underneath, and turn on the tree lights and try and find which presents were for who and guess what they might be without opening them. To this day I remember us getting a giant greenish flop-eared stuffed dog with a tag on it: "My name is Jupiter. Please love me"
And we did. We used to worry that he couldn't sleep bc his eyes were open all the time, so every night we put him to bed by covering his eyes with his ears.
And then there were the carols, in Polish and English. When we were old enough to stay up, midnight mass. The moon high in the sky, shining thru bare tree limbs and making the snow shine. The little baby Jesus in the manger and the star on top of the tree. The parties. Making cookies with mom. Taking our late evening stroll with dad, Christmas lights glowing thru the snow. It was a kind, magical season, where people cared enough to put up lights and make the neighborhood beautiful for others... not the big ostentatious 50,000 bulb displays that you have to pay someone for, just what people put up by themselves.
That kind of Christmas should be in every child's memories. Not the shopping horror that it is now.

Don't be mad at me, SIX, but it's going to be 71-74 and mostly sunny for the next ten days.
Got a greenwaste binful of weeds out to the curb and a big trash bin and a half of succulents that didn't survive the very hot hot spell and water restrictions.
Going to go spray a bunch of weedkiller on the stuff that's sprouting after the last rain.
