Margaret Hackers have caused me a lot of grief especially with Facebook so I canceled my FB once and for all. Not sure what they think they will get hacking this site unless you are buying a premium service and your credit card is on file here and they could hack into that. Maybe sites like these are training sites for hacker school.
Katla I saw Mars here also this morning and to think we have a rover exploring it. I don't know a lot about astronomy, but my dad was a high-level space scientist in the early days of NASA and he made giant telescopes and I was amazed by what I could see. It was a beautiful morning sky here, but they say California smoke is coming our way so we best enjoy the clear sky while we can.
Machka I love all the photos you post from your walks. That mansion reminds me of one in a town southeast of me. I cannot imagine maintaining such or keeping it clean.

Fae they are looking for passwords because some use same password for multiple sites and the fact I got a strange e-mail tells me they were got my g-mail address from mft too. I never open an e-mail I am unsure of because that tells them they have a live e-mail account. It is just like I do not answer phone numbers I don't recognize for the same reason.
In these times it is better to be proactive. I took my birthday off Facebook and I have no personal info there and I did not do a mug shot. I do not even announce my birthday here.
Again we do need to remember this is a public site and anyone can come and read what we write. I only share what I want public.

Passwords/breaches - MFP was breached a couple of years ago. User names and passwords were accessed in that one. Often, lists from breaches from years past are kept on the down-low and used when no one is suspecting. That happened with LinkedIn, back in 2012. It was a massive breach (167 million user records). Users weren't notified until 2016. I changed my password there immediately and only a couple of months ago did anything show up from that breach. I knew, because I only used that email and password combo for LinkedIn. I got one of those blackmail emails that said they were watching me doing naughty things through my video camera and if I didn't pay up, they'd send the videos to my contacts. Made me giggle.

I have diet head. I started eating at nine, have had 600 calories so far, which is plenty. I plan to stop eating at five, so my head already feels deprived and weak. Even though the challenge won't be until tonight. Silly brain.

((((Alie)))) I went through a similar thing with my son. He wanted help but couldn’t find anything he could afford so went deeper. He ended up running from police then fighting the arrest and put in the psychiatric ward at jail for 3 day. It was paranoia and depression that made him run, but started his road to help and recovery. I was a total basket case so completely understand. Call or message me if you need to talk.
Today is National Mud Pack Day and International Translation Day.
I’m depressed now thinking of what happened to my so and Allie’s. On a good note, My son got help and has been in a good place for the last 7 years. Just thinking about what happened scares me when I think what would have happened had he not first been arrested, got sick from not eating or sleeping good and ending up in ER.

Allie ... so sorry your son is struggling.
Michele ... the pool stain remover is for both specific stains and all over stains. I still haven't been able to remove all the chlorine as the manufacturer recommends, so have not yet started the stain removing process. Hopefully within the next few days.
Hugs to Rita, Heather and Margaret too. My younger son deals with depression, one of the reasons he is home visiting at this time.
Clothing Drawers ... I'm just happy to get the stuff out of the laundry basket ...
My workload as a housekeeper is ramping up as programs restart and we reopen on a modified basis. I'm very tired and really need to make sure that I am getting good sleep. Part of that will happen when my older son heads back to his place. Soon perhaps.
My apple trees are done. I tried to pick apples last night before a heavy rain ...every time I pulled one off, 2 more would hit my head!
I have enough for a couple of apple pies and the deer can have the rest.

@drkatiebug hardware store, Safeway, and for dogs! wow! What is the price? I was surprised at the price here.22 euros for small bottle of light dose.
@Tina thanks for your thoughts and info on CBD.
@Auntibk thanks.
@bwcect Beth "Clothing Drawers ... I'm just happy to get the stuff out of the laundry basket .." right ! I know !0 -
I spent an hour cleaning today yay! then I went to a school to give a distance class from the school! one student had finished class when mine started and had tried to connect somewhere from the school but connection was bad so had to go home, and got there late to connect with me from home. absolutely crazy. I was giving distance class in classroom with no one in the classroom.2

September has zoomed by. I have Halloween decorations outside & inside. Almost nobody rings our doorbell for trick or treat but I will have treats on hand to give out. I’m thinking about mini Kind Bars. DH got a new computer and is busy setting it up. This hasn’t been as easy as we thought it would be. Our expectation was plug it in and turn it on. As I said, it isn’t that easy. 🙈🙊🙉🙈

Well I told my mom I was going to make chicken and broccoli and eat it early instead of eating lamb chops with my father at the regular dinnertime. She seems okay with it so far, but we shall see. It would be passive-aggressive to agree on the surface then sabotage me. But she is doing her best, which comes from a different era, and includes feeding the family every night. She's been thawing double portions by accident lately then trying to get me to eat more. So off we go with the 16:8 IF plan.
(((((Allie))))) Depression is so tough on family.

Decline of topless on French beach, back to this subject
I just stumbled upon a short video confirming the obvious statistics, much lesss topless on beaches. about 50%I in 70s and 2%-19% now. I saw less than 1% this summer. they mentioned several possible, reasons, but one among them seems likely to me. people taking pictures. I don't think about it, but it's true now anyone can take phone cameras, enlargement, etc. and who knows where those pics will go. it wasn't like that all the way up through the 90s.0 -
but it's true I seen tons of women braless, not in a provocative way, just in a natural way most of the time. most definitely a bra abandoning post lockdown thing.1

Margaret: I think you’re making wise choices to protect your privacy. I do the same as much as possible. My computer has no financial information on it. I plan to keep it that way.
I seldom visit facebook any more. There are a few friends that I like to keep track of, and I most often call on the phone rather than post on facebook. That said, my daughter has posted photos in the past and I’ve missed out on seeing them. :ohwell:
Fae: Mars was beautiful last night. I was lucky to have a clear sky. :bigsmile:
Tomorrow will be October 1. I’m thinking ahead about Halloween treats. What do you give out to trick or treaters?I am considering Kind Mini Bars.

Are you talking about the CBT oil for dogs? That was someone else. I have no idea.
Well, today was jeans day on my dress your shape class and I learned that I should not wear skinny jeans. Tell that to the 4 pairs in my closet and the pair on my butt right now. I am willing to shop for one perfect pair as they describe, but I’m not ready to sell or donate the ones I have. They are my favorites, and I don’t think they look bad on me.3 -
Well I left myself an hour and fifteen minutes to cook dinner and I am done eating 30 mins before my window closes. I had my staple, plain chicken and broccoli. Plus I had some fiber stirred into milk. We shall see if that helps any. I'm tempted to eat an apple too, but I am already stuffed, and under 900 calories. I wish I could eat dairy, then a yogurt would bring up my calories. Oh well, I am so sedentary these days that my daily should be low. Maybe tomorrow I will have the apple earlier.

Did some of the Dressed Up Drills DVD. This DVD has a lot of different segments, all different lengths. The plan foor tomorrow is to do Michelle Olsen’s Perfect Legs Glutes and Abs DVD.
M – evidently I was hired for the cleaning, only I was never told that was my specific job. Well, I guess you could say that that is my specific job when the money-monks (higher-ups) are around. The managers who area there all the time don’t have a problem with me helping the customers. Yes, the monkey-monk is exactly what I was referring to that okie mentioned.
Oh, they gave me this mask today and said that as of Monday I was to wear it. To be honest, the one Jess got me is actually better. Well, the vets (and assistants) at Banfield need to wear them all day so they had better ones. But this one says “Food Lion” on it. So I’ll just wear it, no biggie. Oh, they also told me that I will be getting a $150 bonus for “all putting up with all the covid stuff”. Whatever, I’ll take the bonus, that’s for sure.
Allie – (((HUG))))
Margaret – the only time I’ll open a link is if I know that the person sent it to me. Like if I get an email that says “thought you’d like this” and then a link, I won’t click on it. If the message in the email is something like “thought you might like this. How’d the party go?” then I know that the person whose name it came from really did send that link otherwise how would they know about the party?. Sometimes you recognize the name who sent it, but their account has been hacked
Beth – I guess it was last year that some “critter” fell into our pool over the winter and decomposed. We had A LOT of these tiny stains. We think it was teeth that fell out. Anyway, one way we got those stains up was to put vitamin C TABLETS (not gelcaps or anything else – only tablets) in a sock with a few rocks in the sock so it doesn’t float. Let that sit on the stain. It came right up. The downside is that vitamin C does affect the pH so we had to use it some, let the pH come back up, then use it again and keep doing that until all the stains came up. If you remove all the chlorine, won’t you start getting algae?
We sent an email asking newcomers if they would be interested in bowling right now. Most of the people said they’d prefer to wait until the New Year, which is fine. However, there are a few who would bowl now so we’re going to get together on Wed. nights. It’s not a formal “league”. So we have that tonight.
Katla – mini Kind bars are an excellent idea. At least it’s something you can have if there are leftovers. I usually return my unused candy to the store if I can and the rest I usually donate (except for the things Vince says he’ll eat). Vince usually gets a mix of 3 Musketeers. M&M’s, Twix, Skittles, really, whatever candy they have. Usually no Snickers, tho
Gotta run, have dinner then bowling

Katla I quit about 5 years ago when friends' grandkids were too old for it. Also, I was really not enjoying it when only about half of the kids had costumes and they were mostly store-bought. It was becoming a lot of work putting together a fun new costume.2

PHEW!
Like Katla 's husband, I knew the new phone would be a challenge, but it was worse than I anticipated. It's sorted now, but it caused me a LOT of anxiety.
One thing I haven't been able to transfer is my old messages. Apparently that is difficult from Sony to Samsung.
The shop did the basics, but really I could have done that. The phone spent hours updating everything, so I couldn't download my favourite apps for ages, one of which has my passwords on. I think I expected more to transfer automatically. Anyway, I think it's done, though it took me a while to find out how to mute notifications. I will play a bit longer tomorrow to sort out the horrible ring tone etc.
While it was downloading and updating I was panicking. I thought it was stuck.
Missing all my messages.
In order to get to the shop I decided to bite the bullet and get in the car for the first time in nine months. Of course, DH narrowly escaped having an accident. Very close. I am not happy.
I came back on the bus for the first time since lockdown. I was masked and sat at the back with no one near me.
When I went to cook the salmon for dinner I found DH had picked cooked salmon fillets.
This keeps happening that he buys the wrong thing. He said he didn't read it.
Think my phone will be OK. Not sure about DH.

Heather: I do most of the shopping but let DH choose the meats & fish. He worked is way through college as a grocery store meat cutter. The man knows his meats & is skilled with a knife. Our freezers are full.0

You can just check your daughter's "wall" and not look at anything else.

I'm going to guess that they are suggesting more of a straight leg or a slightly flared bottom ... for balance?

Michele ... yes, a lack of chlorine is definitely going to create algae. But this is only short term while we use a chemical product. Once the stain remover and metal remover have done their work (we think it was copper that reacted to something in the pool), then we will slowly rebalance the pool. And that will include adding back the chlorine.
