Wonky Emails

March 18, 2021

Good morning.  Wow, I've spent the last forty five minutes trying to gain access to my laptop.  It has decided that it doesn't know me anymore and just would not let me in.  All my passwords, codes, etc. are wrong.  When did all this happen?  Eventually I got in, but I don't really know how.  I guess I'm going to have fun??? trying to figure all this out and get it fixed.  

To top that off, when I opened my email, I found a couple disturbing emails.  One especially having to do with my bank account.  I called the bank and put my name on the list for a call back.  I'm sure this is just some hacker's way of having fun, but it sure messes up my day.

Yesterday I felt like sleeping till noon, so I stayed in bed and did just that.  I guess I needed it because I felt much better when I got up.  Not only did I not post here, but I never even turned on my laptop.  Hmmm, maybe that's why it's giving me such a problem this morning?  

The bank just called me.  The letter is fraudulent and I've forwarded it to them.  It looked so legitimate, but the message was all wrong.  When I get stuff like this in my email I call the "so called" source.  Xfinity is famous for this stuff.  I've got several of these emails from them threatening to shut off my email if I don't do what they are asking for.  When I call Xfinity, they don't know anything about it.

Here's an interesting item that I borrowed from the web to share with you.  Dandelions are very important to our Bees.  Please don't mow these little yellow flowers down.  Let the Bees have them.  We need to do everything we can to save the lives of our Bees. They are a critical part of our food system.  Did I mention that Dandelions are very tasty too?

Here's one more image for you.  Also borrowed from the web.

Now I'm off to read some blogs.  So, till next time, Y'all stay safe and have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.

Sorry to hear about all the trouble with your laptop and then with the emails. It really spoils ones mood and isn;t fun at all. You did best to call your bank to be sure. Those kind of emails are so tricky, if any doubt, just remove them and if it's really important and from the bank, they will call you or try again perhaps with a mail or by post.

Had the access to your laptop perhaps to do with Mr.Dave, cleaning up ? If ou have again trouble with it, perhaps you can call him to ask and look into it?

Good for you that you slept as long as the body needed. Just sometimes we have to do what the body suggest to you, hahaha.

We had our elections for parliament, result isnt the worst one, but not really my choice, but I can live with it.

Have a lovely day, hopefully no more laptop and email trouble.

I hate that you are still having trouble with your confuser, they do tend to try us !
I've had those "fake" emails and text messages on my phone, and even though I'm certain it's a "spam" thing, I always seem to get worried and end up calling the bank just to make sure.
Cute little memes, and thank you for brightening my day by sharing.
Hugs,

In recent years I've been leaving the dandelions in our garden and our grass for just that reason!

Sorry about your laptop. Perhaps when you had your recent laptop repair done, the repairman erased all the cookies that held your passwords and whatnot? That means you'll have to enter them manually instead of signing into the sites automatically. If he emptied the cache (took old information off the computer) I bet that's what happened.

You find the best info. My folks folks had a friend, Maryann, a real health nut before all the modern stuff. SHe made dandelion wine, they were necer sick and she lived to be 99 years old! :-)
