Have you checked your Temporary Internet Files lately?
Something very strange happened with my computer today. Since I post pictures of the daycare kids on my business web site, I first ask the parents if it is OK to post each individual picture. So I sent one of my daycare parents a shot of his daughter to ask if I could post it. He replied with:
"Yes, go ahead. So what are all those other photos? Do you like to collect pictures of storms, mailboxes and stars when they were kids?!"
"Huh?"
And he said that after he saw the daughter picture, he "continued to click on the other pictures and viewed the others in my collection."
Other pictures? Collection?
Frantically I went into my Sent items to see what I had sent him, and after clicking through about 40 images, I realized that Yahoo or some computer virus somehow attached all of my Temporary Internet Files to the one attachment I sent him, with a convenient arrow button for him to easily scroll through.
Just what lives in our Temporary Internet Files folder?
* Images viewed by me on my computer
* Images sent to me by other people via cheesy emails, not necessarily representing my own opinions or likes
* Ads and other graphics that live on web sites visited (i.e., blogger)
* Sarcastic graphics meant to accompany my future blog posts.
Let's review some of what was sent to my, um, client.
At least I don't surf porn on this computer.

Holy ----t! Are you serious? Thank goodness it was pretty benign stuff. (Except for that New Kids on the Block photo. There's really no excuse for that, A.)
Anyway, I can only imagine what I might accidently send out. Not that I surf porn or anything. But porn may have been searched on my computer by someone. Not naming any names or anything. But just saying.
All I have to say is this:
Tools/Internet Options/Delete Cookies
and then
Tools/Internet Options/Delete Files (check box for Delete all Offline Content)
and while you're at it
Clear History
I used to do this every day when I worked outside the home. But now that I work in the home, I thought, why?
OMG! How hilarious!!
What a riot. I love your blog. I can only imagine that the blue pajama top picture was going to be a snarky post on breastfeeding wear. And if that was what we are supposed to look like in it, the store is sorely mistaken!
