A word that you will never find in anything I eat. LOL

And the saga continues, with the update to Windows Creator 1709 version. None of my accounting software worked after the update, and for some unknown reason, my DVD/RW crapped out in the process. Fortunately I could share a drive over the network to reload one of the accounting packages. The other two, are setup processes that while time consuming aren't overly complicated or difficult. One more and I'll be done. I have no idea how many other issues yet to resolve.

It drives me somewhat batty when my phone updates. It had been forever and a day when the last computer got an update.

That is the next thing I must channel my meager savings for. All I need is a tower.
Have monitor and keyboard and mouse.

Oh and even though I didn't have to awaken at 4am today my eyes are very near to being closed. Y'all have a nice night and a pleasant tomorrow.

I can't take full credit - Leonore, Marija and Sharon (sm4Him) had a major part in it.

C’mon. Just take a little bite of the apple. It’s perfectly ripe and crisp.

Stay safe, north easterners; It sounds like Boston is going to get the worst of it. Windy as all get-out here, and light snow in Montgomery County, MD (one up and slightly west of us); MD State and Federal governments are closed.

Gorgeous morning. To cold to get out the 100-400 with TC for a cool moonshot. So here it is on S8+. It lit up the whole backyard early this morning.

Last week in the 80's with the A/C on, this week calling for frost and the furnace on. Crazy spring weather in the south. So far no buds on the fruit trees and hoping they stay that way for another week.

Nasty here today already. I can see a wire whipping around already across the street that must have come off my neighbors house. No tv for them today! Princess has school so I’ll have to go out in this later today to pick her up. Hoping for no snow so that we can make our plans in Maine tomorrow.

Morning kids. No high wind, rain or snow here in East Texas. Fair mug of coffee with which to get myself moving.

Right on. My wife and I both had iphones. One day, hers started displaying a big box in the middle of her screen asking for her apple password. She couldn't remember it. We had just moved and had to change service providers and no longer had access to the email on file with Apple. We tried for a month and all Apple could do was send her password to a non-existent email. We threw our iphones away and bought Samsung. Couldn't pay me to touch a mac.

You're angry at Apple for not giving you access to an email account to which neither you nor they could verify you had a legitimate right to access?

These I.D.s at Apple and Google are more than just email account credentials. They give the possessor full access to all the account holder's resources, including any other on-line docs and things like Apple Pay or Google Wallet/Pay. They can't just give any old person who contacts them access.

Call your bank, sometime, claiming you're out of town, out of cash money, and forgot the PIN for your debit card. See how willing they are to simply believe what you tell them and give you unfettered access to you bank account. Same thing. There'll be the same results.

Apple did the right thing. (Btw: Do the same with Google and you'll have the same experience.)

Bottom line: Don't lose your account credentials. Best way to maintain them, IMO, is an encrypted keyring (I use one called Password Safe), use a strong passphrase, and make sure you have copies on multiple devices (I have copies on phone, tablet and computer).
