I am waiting to see how my experiment is going to turn out.  I found a Bobby Flay recipe for pumpkin bread but I didn't have clove or all spice.  I altered the cinnamon and nutmeg measurements and added vanilla.  We shall see how it turns out soon enough.

P.S. You should be jealous TronRP.  I will probably take it along with some of my leftover banana bread down to Chel's work for her coworkers to devour.  lol

Currently doing a full system lookover after a "virus" from a site called let's watch cartoons tried to tell me that my hard drive would have a "Safety Delete" and gave me 5 minutes to call a customer service number about it. The warning also had a sound bite that told me not to close the window or my hard drive would be fully deleted....I hate threats. Only took me 20 seconds to do a screenshot of the warning, save it and everything I was working on and cut power to the surge protector.

I've gotten that message a few times.  I usually just bring up task manager and end task on it.  It will close the browser.  I then will run Malwarebytes Antimalware(free edition) but it doesn't find anything.  It's generally a scam to get you to buy their product.

Yeah, I figured that, but I hated the way they did it.

That sound bite was the icing on the cake that ticked me off.

Me too.  They try to scare you into calling them.

I could have handled it better because I usually set up to bust those kinds of things, but it telling me something like that just set me off.
