Love it!

Something like this happened to me once. The tech support person on the phone helping me reset my modem told me to pick a new long password, which I did. We could not get it to work; he finally realized I had made the password too long per his instructions.

These days, after listening to a friend's crazy stories about tech support phone calls, I will move heaven and earth to keep from having to make one myself. And I limit the amount of tech in the house. My friend, on the other hand, has to make calls both for computer and TV. TV intimidates me and I won't have all the button pushing. On the rare occasion I want to see something, I'll watch it on the laptop...or at her house!

Fortunately, I must say that many new devices are almost intuitive to figure out for installation...surprisingly easier than I would have suspected. And you really do learn a lot just by fooling around with them and trying different things.

And this is why I have to keep a notebook page of my passwords handy.

OMG that is beyond funny. I was trying to register at a government website recently and, in addition to the ridiculous password, it asked me several questions, i.e. my mother's maiden name etc. When it asked for the name of my first pet, I gave the name then I got a prompt saying 'incorrect answer'. lol

I am glad that all my friends here had a good laff. Many thanks ...

Solitaire - Good to see you laffing - have a nice weekend .

SpiritGirl - No harm done if you keep a note book and keep it only to yourself - enjoy your weekend !!

Traveler - You have taken all the sensible decisions - personally, I restrict myself to need based use of technology.

RadiantOne - Welcome to my blog. I am glad you had a good laff !

Roxy - Own convenience is Priority I - we all need to devise a methodology that suits US the best !!

ET - great to see you laughing - have a wonderful weekend !!

Freewayryder - We have all been in this situation. It is good to make and get a good laff at our own selves.

Pansy - Good to see you after a long time - have a lovely weekend.

Mammanie - Lol @ hysterical - it proves that you yourself have a great sense of humoour.

MrsJoe - I can only remember about 10 of them as I can know - for everything we need a pin or a password. Writing down and carrying it on ourselves is much simpler. I can share the simplified procedure for the 25 odd passwords and pins that I need.

Have a lovely weekend, My dear Friends !! Many thanks for your visit.

Bijou - great to see you after a long time. How have you been ??

I filled up a form on line once and found the column Date of Birth (DO where I had filled up the correct DOB, When rechecked, repeatedly the column showed NOT YET ALLOTTED despite correction several times.

So much for the garbage in garbage out - it was delicacy in garbage out - more like the digestive system - lolol !!

Have a wonderful day !!
