COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

Wow, wow, wow ! Now I am conceited .....
I love y`all too !

Me too. I lost your curious math problem on my shortcut though. How are your 2 little ones? I can't remember both of their names. One was Mo?

I was watching a Lifelock (company selling protection against identity theft) commercial and they were saying that the thieves can pick up your wifi signal and then get your bank info, password, etc.

So my question to you is can I protect myself from this by turning the computer and Kindle off when I'm finished using thm?

Basically, yes. If your computer is off then nothing can get to the data stored on it.

Someone sat in the street with the right equipment may be able to see what’s on your screen. But they can only get on your wifi if it is insecure, ie there is no password or the password is easily guessed (or the same as every other password you use)

While this is theoretically possible, the reality is that any identity thefts done by cruising wifi are more likely to happen to those connecting to public wifi in a shopping mall, hotel or other place where lots of people congregate. It’s just not worth doing outside a single property. Too much time taken and the likelihood of success is low.

Dare I suggest this company makes its money by frightening people

Thank you

Good morning All. It’s a little chilly here this morning compared to our last few days but looks like it’s gonna be a gorgeous day. Think my son is getting the crud so I will be working from home today:-(

Hope he is feeling better soon, hopefully a duvet day will help!

Here’s what I found in the charity shops:

Some eggs for Easter.... which are actually — candles. And a photo frame that fits daughter’s portrait, to take to my mom when we go visit her in mid-April.

All cost under 4 USD, or less than 3 GBP.

Charity shops are great. If you but some wax pens you could decorate those eggs for Easter - I'm sure your daughter would love that!

It is! On a CDR postcard!

I’d expect to see it in a travel supplement advertising romantic holidays (not that I look at romantic getaways! [emoji1])

I've been sitting here all afternoon wondering if I have the start of COPD because it feels like I' m not getting enough oxygen. I thought back over my day to see what was different about this day and remembered that I cleaned out Dudley's (110lb sulata) shed today.

Cleaning out the shed means sweeping up about two weeks of dried and dusty tortoise poop. The shed is about 10x10x6 with a very small/narrow people door for ventilation.

So I guess breathing all that poop dust must've coated my lungs (or maybe I'm too impressionable). At any ate, I went onto Amazon and ordered a package of medical face masks.

Mrs B is hard at work on Day 8 of her building programme (excuse the radio in the background)

Another Bluet!t paid a most unwelcome visit earlier and she fought it out. Her other half has been in to inspect too. He doesn’t help with the bulld, but she doesn’t attack him!

I can’t tell Mr & Mrs B apart yet... it’s just that only the female builds the nest.. Last year I was able to work it out. I hope I can this year.

Such a lot of work for her. I hope the chicks manage to successfully fledge this year.

Rivers bite???

Only if you are near the river mouth!!

I'm still having problems with ads covering up when I'm typing. Also, something takes over my phone and will erase the first letter of a word. It's strange. I can't upload from my smart phone. I have to send it to my email, then download, then refuse a couple of things and then it will upload. I don't even know how figured it out.

Thanks I am using a smartphone.

Plus you never get sleep. They are always waking you to check something.

I was only in for 2 nights and didn't sleep a wink until I was under the anaesthetic.

Hopefully it’s not serious, but the masks are a good precaution against dust.

Has anyone had problems with uploading pictures. It has been about 2 weeks for me now. I select the pic, click on upload and then nothing happens.

Not on my laptop.

Welcome back!
I sent that birthday card to my sister a few years ago. It still makes me smile

 

[Momof4]

Anyone on right now?

 

[JoesMum]

Anyone on right now?

I’m here. I keep sliding by to see who’s about

Are you using a computer or laptop? Or are you using a tablet/iPad or your smart phone?

The app is on the smart phones and tablet/iPad and has picture problems.

On computers and laptops, you just use your web browser and that has the advert problem

I'm learning to live with it but It is still really annoying!
It takes ages to log in with all the jumping around and then when you click on something it's hit and miss and more often than not you end up clicking on an ad and then you're diverted to their website
I often go to post and find I have been logged out so have to go through the whole rigmarole again
I hope it is sorted soon.

The masks are a good idea but maybe you should have a chat with your doc anyway Yvonne, just to be on the safe side.
