I wanted something that I would be able to remember, even drunk. QWERTY was taken, so I added "account" to it. Now if I could just pick a password I can remember, I'll be all set.

Way to go girl!

It looks ok to me too. Are you looking at it with a mirror? If so, maybe it's a shaving mirror, to make it smaller again, use a car wing mirror that has the message "Things seen in the mirror may be larger than they appear" on it. :)

Thanks - that's a new one! You are right about making regular backups. It is also important to make them on removable media and kept off site -- you can't infect, burn or steal a backup if it isn't in the drawer next to the computer. For your important files, burn them onto a DVD-R in "one time record" mode -- other than physically destroying the DVD, no one can infect or delete the files.

Keep 'em coming Tianna!

Maryanne or Ginger?

You've got me curious - how do you know it tastes better?

I'm happy to hear you're not a fan of sleeping pills. You should see your doctor to eliminate any possible physical issues before further self-prescribing any more medications. Other tips - -Go to bed at the same time every day -Don't sleep in -Don't exercise in the evening -Avoid anything stimulating an hour or two before bed like TV and using your computer (read a book instead), and if you are like me, especially avoid cerb, which I find very stimulating.

All the heavy hitters had car phones. It was a real status symbol. Then Panasonic got innovative and came out with a modular design where you could unplug the handset from your car, plug it into what looked like a big old desktop phone cradle that was mostly battery, and carry the whole thing around. All told it weighed about 10 pounds, but that was light compared to the 20-pound Toshiba laptop I lugged around to give customer presentations. I know that sounds ridiculously impractical by todayâ??s standards, but it was state of the art back then so we coughed up a small fortune and wrote it off as a business expense. In business, it often makes sense to have the latest and greatest technology. Once you get far enough down the learning curve, it can really pay off in a big way. Of course, corporate IT managers always want to wait to ensure platforms and standards are stable. In many ways, theyâ??ve got the right idea. Consumers can stand to learn a thing or two from IT folks. For consumers, being an early adopter of new technology never pays off. And I mean never. Unless youâ??re in the biz or itâ??s a hobby and you can afford the time and money, itâ??s always a bad idea. A sucker bet. Sorry to say, but in this day and age when so many people just have to have the latest and greatest everything, there sure seem to be an awful lot of suckers out there. The truth is that keeping up with new technology is expensive, time consuming, and frustrating in more ways than you realize. And the perceived benefits rarely improve your life in any material way. Itâ??s just peer pressure. Still not convinced? Here are five reasons why being an early adopter of technology products is a really bad idea. [I][B]Technology gets cheaper over time.[/B][/I] Whatever youâ??re in the market for â?? homes, cars, gardening supplies, laundry detergent or chewing gum â?? I guarantee it costs more or, best case, the same over time. Not tech products. Technology is the only category of products that actually come down in price over time. Not only that, you get way more features and better performance for less over time. You canâ??t beat that. [I][B]Itâ??s full of bugs and incredibly frustrating[/B].[/I] Thirty years ago, when something didnâ??t work right we said, â??Itâ??s brokenâ? and took it back. Today, we buy broken things all the time. Itâ??s called software and itâ??s inside every gadget you buy. We pay big bucks for the privilege of dealing with all the bugs and wasting our precious time downloading fixes and upgrades. I have this old Samsung Blue-Ray disc player I got when it came out. God knows how many firmware updates later, it still doesnâ??t work right. [I][B]Most of it never achieves mainstream adoption.[/B][/I] Remember 8-track tape? Backup tape drives for your PC? How about Sony Betamax, IBM PCjr, NEC TurboGrafx-16, Sharp Wizard, Palm Pilot, and Apple Newton? I can go on and on but the truth is that half the stuff you buy never achieves any traction and, after spending hours and hours learning to use it and buying all sorts of add-ons, just ends up collecting dust. [I][B]Hot social media sites and apps usually flame out.[/B][/I] Even if itâ??s free, you invest a ludicrous amount of time getting set up and established with all sorts of sites and applications that seem to catch fire but flame out in no-time. Remember del.icio.us. Friendster. Digg. Yes, I know some of them are trying to make a comeback. Donâ??t they all? Yawn. [I][B]You miss the real â??next big thing.â?[/B][/I] Some technology products are really pricey. Others are permanently or semi-permanently installed in your car or home. Isnâ??t it always the case that, as soon you pull the trigger, the next big thing comes out and makes your huge investment obsolete? I had a smart home system with proprietary controllers installed when I built my house years ago. Wish Iâ??d known that Apple iOS and Google Android devices were coming before I did that. Look, I know the peer pressure to buy new gadgets and keep up with technology is powerful. I get that. But the truth is, when it comes to technology, being an early adopter will cost you in terms of money, time, frustration, opportunity cost â?? all sorts of ways that most of us simply canâ??t afford. It just isnâ??t worth it. So next time thereâ??s something you just have to have, just give it a little time. It wonâ??t kill you. Wait and see how things shake out. Itâ??ll be worth the wait, guaranteed. [I][I]Steve Tobak is a Silicon Valley-based strategy consultant and former senior executive of the technology industry.[/I][/I] [/COLOR][/FONT]

Two possible solutions: 1) Switch carriers, at least for internet access. http://www.teksavvy.com/ appears to be a viable option in many areas. 2) If #1 isn't immediately possible, start using https, such as https://www.cerb.ca

You forgot Windows Me (millennium edition) which was really bad. I've been using Windows 8 for about a year and am happy with it. To the average user it is Windows 7 with some bells & whistles, and most glaring, the start screen instead of a start button. The biggest problem people have with Windows 8 isn't software or device compatibility, but just that it is different. All software I've tried to date has worked flawlessly on Windows 8. When Windows 95 came out, everyone hated it -- Windows 3.1 was so much better. Everyone got used to the differences and grew to love it. When Windows XP came out, everyone hated it -- Windows 98 was so much better. Everyone got used to the differences and grew to love it. Windows Vista's biggest issue was that it changed the security paradigm making it harder for the bad guys to do nasty things to your system. The changes caused poorly written, rule breaking & buggy non-Microsoft software to fail, and many software developers just pointed the finger at Vista instead of accepting responsibility, and people bought their BS. When Windows 7 came out, almost all the bad software (non-Microsoft) had been fixed, but a lot of people still didn't like it -- Windows XP was so much better. Everyone got used to the differences and grew to love it. Windows 8 suffered the same problem -- being different and requiring people to learn new ways of doing some things. Sadly, many people don't like to learn new ways to do things -- anything different is bad. But how do you improve things for people without changing anything?!

Did someone leave a light on?

[URL]http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/10/22/v-steam-controversial-facial-for-your-reproductive-parts/[/URL] Itâ??s common for women to get facial steams in order to relax and rejuvenate their skin, but now a controversial treatment called the V-Steam claims to provide similar benefits for a womanâ??s reproductive parts. Offered at The YinOva Center in New York City, the V-Steam is touted as a treatment for women suffering from a variety of gynecological issues, ranging from endometriosis to menstrual cramps and yeast infections. "It cleanses and tones and nourishes the vagina, the cervix and the uterus,â? said Jill Blakeway, clinical director at The YinOva Center. â??I like to think of it as a detox for your female anatomy." Blakeway said that when used in conjunction with acupuncture and Chinese herbs, the treatment has even helped some women struggling with infertility, as well as those undergoing IVF treatments. â??The way the V-Steam sort of fits in is that it promotes blood circulation, and good blood circulation to the uterus is good for implantation,â? Blakeway said. â??It's also a very pH-balancing and anti-microbial treatment, and infections and inflammation are impediments to fertility, so from that point of view it's a good thing.â? However, Dr. Manny Alvarez, the chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, and senior managing editor at FoxNewsHealth.com, said that the treatment doesnâ??t have any real health benefits â?? and could be risky. â??I question the use becauseâ?¦ for years we know (things) like douching (were) problematic,â? Alvarez said. Alvarez asserted that putting steam into the pelvic area could only lead to problems. â??We don't know what (the) long term effects are going to be with cellular changes in especially the vaginal mucosa,â? Alvarez said. â??We don't know what the propensity is to develop a vaginal infection or sub-clinical infection." However, some patients praise the V-Steam as being both relaxing and effective. Jill Myers, 30, decided to try the V-Steam to help manage her heavy, painful menstrual cycles and said she noticed a difference afterwards. "I did feel immediate relief even after having the steam,â? Myers said. â??And leading up to that cycle I had fewer PMS symptoms." During the treatment, a massage therapist will chose an assortment of herbs such as basil, which Blakeway claims is an antimicrobial, or rosemary, which she says is useful against yeast. â??You sit over the steamer, and the massage therapist massages your neck and shoulders. And so it's a very warm, cozy relaxing treatment,â? Blakeway said. Patients are also wrapped in a blanket throughout the procedure in order to keep the steam from escaping. Blakeway, who maintains that the treatment is safe, admits that it shouldnâ??t be looked at as a cure for infertility. â??It's much more an adjunctive treatment,â? Blakeway said. â??It can be helpful in the same way that steaming your sinuses is helpful." However, despite the hype surrounding the V-Steam, Alvarez isnâ??t convinced. â??It may be relaxing for some, but from a health perspective, it's a big zero for me,â? Alvarez said. Women should speak with their physicians before undergoing a treatment like the V-Steam or any other alternative therapy.

People walk past you to push a clearly illuminated elevator up/down call button, making the elevator mad so it takes longer to arrive.

All I can think to say is "Wow!"

Y is for "Yes, Yes, Yes" frequently followed by "Oh god" and "don't stop".

I don't know if I should admit it, but I was the model for it :)

Cool. NSA relationships often come with strings attached. As other have mentioned, save yourself a lot of time, money and grief -- stick with CERB ladies for a true NSA relationship and a lot of fun.

You're right - things have changed! In the '80s, all that was required was stiff wind to make it stiff, actually, a slight breeze would work too.
