All is quiet on the computer screen. But then a "Pop-Up" appears and I want to scream!

“Pop-Ups” here; “Pop-Ups” there, I see “Pop-Ups” everywhere! These “Pop Ups” just appear in my computer from out of nowhere. Some are yellow, red and white Some are colorful, some are bright I was writing one the evening and was finally getting things just right Then suddenly a “Pop-Up” appears on my screen in mid of the night! It said I won a prize for being the 1000^th customer that day Since then, I’ve been to be the 1000^th customer many times; I guess I’m lucky that way! I got a “Pop-Up” yesterday for “Free Coupons” for lots of stuff I’ll never use Don’t get tricked into clicking on those “Pop-Up pest”; simply refuse! “Pop-Ups” here, “Pop-Ups” there, I see “Pop-Ups” everywhere you know! Hey "Pop-Up", I have no time for you! See you later, got to go! ©2015, John Michael Domino

Yes it is good to have boundaries from them or they jeopardize the creative flow. Fun reading this too John :)

I'm with you on these...especially when you get into those loops with them...like Sandie I have disallowed them...and it seems to work...

keep them on the delete list
Peace be with you

I treat pop-ups the way I treat ads on TV or wherever; I ignore them. A most apt and timely write, John. Love and blessings to you,

I'm with you on nasty little intrusions on our serious work. They are absolutely worse than spam because they require removal before we continue to work. If companies knew how we feel about them, I don't think they'd allow pop-ups to be used for their advertising. But there are computer geeks out there making big bucks figuring out more more ways they can intrude on our already stressed, multitasking lives.

Expect much more of this in the future� Fun fun fun.

I have been intending to write a few lines on this irritation. Stay tuned. This was a motivator to fight

Pop-ups and updates,
can be a real pain.
it happens far to frequently,
and drives me insane.

Don't you hate those pop-ups? I have disallowed pop-ups in my computer. You can set the setting to configure the computer to disallow pop-ups. I hope you have got a good prize for being the 1000th customer.

I have the very same situation down here in the swamp. And no, I never click on them either.
