Warning

red no sign

red no signJust a quick NO warning!!

Gotta wonder how many folks do not realize or remember that when you fill out those little boxes with answeres to questions like :

street you grew up on?

name of first pet?

Moms maiden name?

as your security questions to recover, offer proof of identity, for many of your accounts that you should

NOT I repeat NOT make public knowledge of your answers!

Just a quick note cause there are a couple of mems going around again that glean this info from participants.

Hello At and t I forgot my password.

Ok I need you to answer the security questions you filled out when you signed up.

Ok

what was the name of your first pet?

the name of the street you grew up on?

town you met you husband/wife/etc in?

Somewhere there is someone who can and will use this believe me it is easier than you think to take over someones blog, cell phone account, twitter, you name it!

Be careful out there and if have put your answeres out there you might wanna go pick a new security question.

Just saying.

Just a silly attempt at making a plasma light ball.

Happy Easter – and never forget miracles can and do happen – maybe even plasma balls

My V-Blog Relationship Deal

making relationship v blogOk I was tweeting away with an online friend and fellow blogger SherriStakes. Somehow we ended up with me darning her to make another V-blog and her challenging me to make a video about relationship s and MS. I am so not the type to yak on about relationships LOL!

Well I already watched her video and I am keeping my word and posting mine. Good grief she made a long one! We agreed she would go over a list of journal stuff

“today i posted the daybook journal thoughts… i will answer those same questions tomorrow on video…”

she had posted and I would talk about

“about the changes in the relationship since MS… or tips for maintaining a long term relationship”

Gotta let you all know that she hates making V-blogs and I really, really, do not like talking about stuff like relationships!

 

so here is my Video mentioning relationship s

Well I tried – really I did!

The Storm

storm caseIt has been a crazy past week or so. Nothing special just kind of wacky. First off my friend was in one of those train bumper fender benders on the freeway – no one hurt but her car a total.  Our new and improved power bill arrived and the Smart Meter they installed decided for the first time in over 28 years we used almost four times our normal amount of electricity. Nothing to do but pay it as the big energy corps rule! Do not try applying common sense to this – it does not work.

The Storm in a Box

Boxed Storm

Next I have been working on moving the mother board from the hot (as in temperature) running little Gateway into a new case a CM Storm case.  It turned interesting when I discovered that many of the board connectors are not labeled and Gateway is not forth coming with info. A web search turned up lots of folks looking for the same info to no avail. the wiring is fairly straight forward in the Storm case but where oh were on the header block do these wires go!  Will I did figure it out. Lots of tiny wire connections and tiny screws later . … the Storm is done. Maybe later I will ad some of those sound sensor LED lights and a lighting cathode tube – hee hee make it look like a storm is going on inside.

So that is what I have been doing mostly.  No school this week – Spring break – you would think Spring might decided to arrive? The weather is overcast and almost looks like a storm is coming? Should watch the weather report this evening.

It is only day two into the break and I am already worn out.  Working with my clumsy hands on the Storm case install has my fingers – well not cooperating at the moment. Stayed up to late goofing with the computer and reading.  My typing is really bad right now so I made a video rather than type on.
