Bereft

My desktop computer is in the shop.  I am having nothing but trouble with he lap top.  Nothing is the same.  The signin protocol is all changed and I have forgotten my Google pass words, which I seem to need.

I hate being without my Blog "fix"... and it all has to wait until a new power supply arrives from somewhere.

Oh, misery

Google suddenly decided it needed me to sign in last night (it never does that).  I thought I knew my password and had forgotten that I'd changed it when they insisted on 8 characters instead of 7.

First I went back to google to verify my username, then back once again to reset the password.

This time I have both of them stashed in my other mailbox (which I never use).

Google will send you the information but you need a secondary mailbox to send it to if your main mailbox is gmail.

Hope you get your computer back soon. I don't like using my laptop either. That was such a waste in me getting that thing. I would just give it to my daughter but since hubby gave it to me I can't do that. I only use it in case of emergency. Helen

Sirry to hear of your difficulties. I recall only too well that feeling, having lost the power supply in my 386 desktop at a critical point during a job. I swore that I wouldn't let THAT happen again, so bought one from PC Power & Cooling that has run well to this day, some eight years later.

As someone else remarked, Google also asked me for a password last night. At first I thought my wife had been on, checking her email (a rare enough occurrence) but she claimed she hadn't been near the machine all day. So I guess they must have had trouble at their server farm and forced log-ins as a result.

At least you have a laptop to use ... ours is still moribund.

I just had my computer worked on for a week.  ACK... It was hard for a couple days, but then I kind of appreciated being computerless.  LOL  Now I have WAY TOO MANY emails.  LOL  Good luck getting everything fixed, Chuck... Hugs, Val xox

I was away last week and was computerless not being at home it was not too bad but if it goes wonky and has to go to hospital when I am at home  well that makes me mad I miss it so much.  Hope you are back up and running soon. Love Joan.

I understand!  I was without my computer for about two months.  It was some of the most miserable months of my life, LOL.  I am typing on my computer for the first time right now in a couple of months!  It is glorious.  Just hang in there Chuck!
