I found this picture of Nathan on some older files on our downstairs computer. It was taken in Utah in 2005, somewhere near Bear Lake. It's a beautiful lake. We've never really stopped at the lake, although we used to drive by it every time we went up to Grand Teton NP. Right before you get to the lake is a little town that sells the BEST raspberry milkshakes. Mmm!
Anyway, this picture describes how I'm feeling tonight. About a week ago, my Yahoo account was spammed and literally everyone got some sort of junk sent to them — including me! I had to go through all the trouble of changing my password, cleaning up my contact list, and apologizing profusly to everyone I knew. I get spams from friends all the time and I know they weren't the ones sending them. It never bothers me, so I just delete them and carry on about my business. However, it's still upsetting when the spam comes from you.
To make a long, boring story longer — I changed my password and now I can't remember what it is. Argh! I've tried too many times to figure it out on Yahoo and now they've locked me out because they think someone evil is trying to access the account. Sad thing is, when I go to the place where it says to reset my password, it asks me again for my password! Argh again! Then there are the security questions. Well, I answered those way back in 2009 and I don't remember the answer to one of them. My secondary email address is the only one in their system and I no longer use that, so I can't even get them to email me the link to reset it.
Regardless, I'm locked out of my own account until sometime tomorrow. It's really frustrating. Rick keeps all his passwords in a special place and has always told me to do the same thing. Oh no. I always think I'll remember them. I never do, and I'll probably never learn. {{{sigh}}}
Argh! I hate when things like that happen!
ReplyDeleteI was SO happy this morning when it just came to me out of the blue! I have it written down now. :)
DeleteOh no! That is the worst! Something similar happened to me ages ago on hotmail except because I wasn't really using the email for much at the time I think I let the account lapse rather than ever sign in again umm yeah. I guess I was lucky I had many other accounts anyway. :)

Yeah, Mia, it's especially hard to remember them if you don't use the accounts very much. I have the same problem with eBay because I don't buy there very much. For the life of me, I can't remember my password there either.
