Thanks, but don't think I should join the contest this year. I went to check it out yesterday and right away got a red security alert on the computer. Don't want to ruin our computer in any way. Tom would not be happy with me if I did something. We have been looking at things a couple of times a day, and then shutting down all together (not leaving it on). We have crap cleaner and and other security systems in place but I don't want to do anything to cause a shutdown. So, thanks for thinking about me but I have to bow out at this time. During the race yesterday I thought of Pam O'Toole who used to be a regular here. She always started her plants on Daytona race day. Maybe some of you would remember her from introducing us to the Elephant Sanctuary in Tenn. She also had dauschounds as pets. RI Pam. Still can't believe she is gone. Sorry for going off subject, I always talked to her about flowers around this time of year. it is warmer and sunny here today and my thoughts are thinking Spring!

Hi Gale, I don't know what's causing you to get that pop up message. we've been using this "race picks page" for years now and with no problems what so ever. I do know that a lot of browsers are wanting people to upgrade like Google and such and at times they are throwing things like this out there on some websites, but not any of these on Jrfans or Alf's picks page. I'm using an older computer Vista 7 and hasn't been updated since my mom bought it several years ago. I brought it home after my dad died in 2018 and have used it ever since with no problems. Another reason for your notices could be your pop-up or other program apps on your computer but again none of us here have ever had this happen. I hate you don't want to play with us but understand your concerns. As you saw I'm sure, Alf put in for you yesterday to get you started. what a crazy crash fest. Brak K and others sure took out a lot of the field early on being too aggressive. As for Pam, the only one I remember is Pam Downy who we also lost a few years back. We've lost several.
Here's what Alf sent me about your concerns.
Per message to me Alf: (for you) Just read post from Gale. What she is talking about? I have had pop ups too. Thinking it might just be the program that one has on their computer and it doesn’t trust the site. But after all the years we have used it no one has ever gotten infected with anything. No clue why this is showing up. I have Microsoft edge on my newer laptop. The older one never had it pop up. Up to her unless you can convince her that we have never had any issues. She should be able to see how many years we have used that message board for the contest. Even more than what it shows since it was the one mk started with.
I'm thinking it's programs on the computer as it doesn't happen on mine and never has. Whatever you decide we understand but it's been safe for years, since 2020 or earlier. My "2022" saying is: "Be Blessed each day we are given, tomorrow isn't promised" **Praying daily for all my Posse family here**
I don't know what it is either but ever since Tom got sick, things bother him a lot more than they used to. One thing is our computer. If it's not working right, he gets in a tizzy. So, when I saw the red alert box I panicked. It's not that I don't want to play, I did years ago. Even played the Busch race and no problems but back then we had another computer. I'd rather not play at least right now. I appreciate you and Alf putting me in for last week I really do but I can't do it right now.
Wish you could but we understand.My "2022" saying is: "Be Blessed each day we are given, tomorrow isn't promised" **Praying daily for all my Posse family here**
