Well, I am off to the doctor. Lemon juice, marshmallow root tea, cider vinegar, cranberry juice have been tried in abundance and the pain today is the worst it has been. We have calculated I have had it for almost a month now (because of my chronic pain, I deal with acute pain differently).
We are thinking it is more likely infection than stone, but shall see.
Does anyone know, who cleans their stovetop parts with ammonia in a plastic bag overnight, if you use just pure ammonia or if you mix it with water?
ok guys. anyone interested in guessing who i was on the phone with just now? the man on the line tells me he is calling from windows. he is calling because a problem has been detected on my computer, a hacker. he says mcafee cannot help this problem because it is not a virus. he speaks with an accent, it might be indian, but i don't know. he claims to be calling from highway avenue, u.k. i let him go on long enough to see that he is evidently trying to hook up with my pc. after we hang up, i dial *69 and i am told that the number calling my line was 000-000-0000.
can anyone tell me what a call like this one might mean, what the deal was supposed to be? i didn't even know how to go about effectively questioning this caller, even though i was terribly curious to know what he was up to.....
Straight out of the bottle, Kylie. You need full strength to clean off the crud.
Just a tip. Most of my stove top parts are enameled metal. Not bare metal parts. The one exception is a flame distributor that is bare metal. The ammonia is hard on those bare metal parts. When I do it again, I won't include them.

They call people at random at try to get personal info. Or, they tell you to give them access to your computer so they can "fix the problem". They might tell you to look at your Windows error log file. That is always full of stuff, some of which can look pretty scary. They are just trying to convince you that you actually have a problem. They might even ask for a credit card number so they can charge you for "fixing the problem".ok guys. anyone interested in guessing who i was on the phone with just now? the man on the line tells me he is calling from windows. he is calling because a problem has been detected on my computer, a hacker. he says mcafee cannot help this problem because it is not a virus. he speaks with an accent, it might be indian, but i don't know. he claims to be calling from highway avenue, u.k. i let him go on long enough to see that he is evidently trying to hook up with my pc. after we hang up, i dial *69 and i am told that the number calling my line was 000-000-0000.

I hope you had the good sense to shut down your computer as soon as you saw he was trying to hack it. Once you break your computer connection you will hear a 'click' on their end. They will realize that you are on to them.

They phoned Stirling and told him he had a problem on his Windows machine. He uses Linux.
You might want to ask, "Since you know there is a problem on my computer, what's my IP address?" They won't know. But, whatever you do, don't give it to them or any other personal info.
I think Caller ID is almost a must these days. It should be included in basic phone packages, but I know it isn't always.
IP address: IP = Internet Protocol. It's your (usually temporary) computer's address on the internet. It's where websites send the web pages, so you can see them on your computer.thanks, all. this call from the 'windows man' was my first time hearing a scam such as this over the phone. he must have been new at the game, because he had not gotten very far in the ten long minutes i stayed on the line. i was supposed to search google for www.showmy....which is when i recognized the 'show my pc now' prompts, as a way to connect to my computer.
if there is a next time, i will know to ask if they have my ip address. (btw, what is ip, a pin number?)
i do not have a cell phone, or caller id on my land line phone. i am basic everything--basic phone service, basic cable and basic network tv.
I think we pay $4.50 a month for Caller ID on the land line. It's included with the plan on the cell phones.
