computers are wonderful when they are working and horrid when they are not. I’ve just contacted a social media coach and he offers ‘password management’ . He tells me it’s all quite simple once you have a system. I’m looking forward to this. Worth paying for peace of mind.

I might have been tempted to eat all the brandy soaked fruit after a day like you had. Now about Carl being Drew or is it that Drew used to be Carl…oh dear. 😀

LOL!!! Like everyone else, I now have Drew etched into my brain as “Carl” and in my mind he now looks like a “Carl” when I see a picture of him…or WAS that him we’ve been seeing pictures of???? Yes, Drew will take a long time to get used to. I think it would be easier for him to adopt Carl as his “stage name.” 😀

Bahahaaha…. Oh dear, I feel ya with this one Charlie. A few weeks back someone tried to access my apple life/ID and I was locked out of my account because of a security risk. I spent half a day on the phone to support in the US trying to figure out how to gain access to my long standing account with apple. When I finally figured out the lady says to me….. You know how painful that was for me? I used to read your old blog and I knew the answers, but couldnt tell you. Gahhhhhhh!
Fingers crossed everything is all up and running again now. Have a happy week ahead lovely lady. Cheers, Anna

I read the paragraph about “Carl” coming out as Drew at least three times making sure I got it all straight. I’m laughing my head off at that. The part that has me laughing is that he has allowed you all this time to post photos of him…just not his name. LOL! I’m so sorry about the laptop and passwords debacle. Unfortunately I relate too well to the problem. I have recently had technological problems of my own. My biggest problem is that I need to free up some memory! You’ve made me think I’d better get to that. 🙂 (I hope Drew is feeling better with the truth about his identity!) LOL!

ROFL, Oh Charlie… you are hilarious 🙂 I have all my passwords written down, but sometimes when I change them I forget to change them in my notes!!! I hope everything is back to normal… I’m sorry that you had a not so good experience with the Mac store as I have a;ways found them amazing… maybe its time to treat yourself and buy a new laptop 🙂 you deserve it! Liz xx PS I have had the same password as well I just put a 2 after it 🙂 hehe!

Oh dear. I shouldn’t laugh, but your post is making me giggle (the bit about Carl / Drew in particular!). I do relate though. I absolutely hate the need for long complicated passwords that seem to have different specific requirements on every different site that requires a password. It is too hard to keep up. And then when you forget, or are told it isn’t right, your life ends up missing a huge online component. I hope your computer is back up and running soon xo
