I have recently been getting a notification box that is basically telling me I'm connected to the internet. Not only is itsuperfluous, but it's annoying. It is right about the clock, actually on the screen (small, but there, annoying in the same way as the network icon is when you're watching TV). It's not on the taskbar, but just above it. Again, it's not an icon, but a small box that has my wireless EXT name and underneath says "Internet access". How do I get rid of this notification? Everything I find on google is about how to customize your icons on the taskbar, but this is something different. Please help...

Right clicking on the notification box does nothing...

Get two bottles of Mexican Coke and pour them right into the keyboard. It has to be Mexican or it won't work. You're welcome.

Excellent margaritas if I do say so myself. Fresh lime, a tiny bit of fresh orange juice (to bring out the Cointreau), and a splash of simple syrup to which I added just a dash of habenero pepper powder (it's a shortcut, but I don't have any infused tequila, which is my own fault). First batch is with 1800 reposado, next batch will be with some mid-tier blanco. Don't fear, I will keep you posted...

My neighbor made his margaritas again. 8oz of Don Julio, crushed ice, one lime wedge.

Excellent.

I like chilled tequila.

I keep mine in the freezer.

Cuervo stays out in the liquor bar for margaritas for my wife and her goofy friends.

can't even smell tequila - my stomach will do flips

I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

what bad shrimp did to me pales in comparison to what mexican house tequila did to me.
