Things weather-wise are looking up. Had a call from the
gardener to say he would be coming today to mow the lawn. I don’t think it will
take him long - the grass hasn’t really got going in the growth stakes. He’s put
the price up but it’s still not expensive.
That peaceful subject is better than this one: my regular battle
with Apple over passwords. I spent
nearly three hours doing what they told me to do but still I couldn’t satisfy
that company. I wouldn’t mind but I don’t need it. My phone is a PHONE and doesn’t
need a password, it isn’t used to go on line, although I could use it if I
wanted to - which, of course, is the reason for all the fuss. I don’t want it but because I have it I am obliged to use a password. I have a book full of passwords, but teaming them with the current problem would take many hours.
I have tried ignoring it but am pestered every time I switch the phone on.
So, as soon as possible I shall call in at the Apple store and let them sort it
out. Trouble is, I can’t go yet. My country is plagued by some sort of disease
that shows up as an infectious head and chest cold, or should I say virus?.
I have a book full of passwords, but teaming them with the current problem would take many hours.
I must NOT break my example of not catching a head or chest cold. I
haven’t had one for many, many years – can’t remember how many but it’s a lot.
I used to sympathise with Joe when he had his frequent colds and coughs, but I
never caught his germs. People laugh at me and ask what my secret is. Well, I
don’t have one and I am ever so proud of
my cold free status. I will probably get one now, as judgement for bragging. Watch this space!
Must go, the gardener will soon be here.
We're experiencing the same thing here in the US, Valerie. It's all over the news and people are starting to freak out. I'm not though. It's serious, that's for sure. However, freaking out is not going to make it any better.
ReplyDeleteHope you get things worked out with your password.
Have a lovely weekend, my friend!
Ron, I have put it on one side.I simply can't be bothered any more. I don't need a password and don't want one. You, too, have a good weekend.
DeleteStay safe, Val. The password can definitely wait.
ReplyDeleteMy view exactly, Matt
DeleteHopefully the annoying mystery with your password will be resolved. As I've said many times, the burden of passwords infuriate me.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I have so many is because it's best not to use the same password in multiple places. So, I try to use various variations - which can become confusing.
Much like you, I haven't had the flu or a cold in many, many years - - but I'm always apprehensive when I go out in public. Those pesky germs are everywhere!
Take care and stay well!
As soon as this ridiculous password thing is resolved the happier I will be. BUT I might give up the ghost and get shut of the whole thing. Who needs worry at my age?
DeleteThat is great you have been cold free! If I sense a cold is coming on I take massive quantities of vitamin C (like twenty 500 mg tablets and then repeat it a few times during the day). That usually wipes the cold from becoming too serious.
ReplyDeletePasswords are such a pain!!
betty
I have take vitamin C capsules every day for very many years and was certain that was the reason for my non-cold existence. It is good to meet someone with the same view as me, instead of the know-it-all people who pooh-pooh the good old Vit.C.
DeleteThat coronavirus is hitting everywhere and some people say it's just getting started. I wasn't too worried about it, but I'm being extra careful now. I don't need an infection along with my asthma. Good idea to let the Apple people sort out your phone, but if they insist on a password still, choose your own, not one they decide to install or you might never remember it. Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to use the internet part.
ReplyDeleteI tried it that way, River, but they want the password that was created several years ago.
DeleteI have only mowed the grass once this year. I can't wait to hear the first cuckoo or lawnmower😀.
ReplyDeletepasswords are touted to be so protective, except when it seems you can't remember them. I am thankful that Apple has a password keeper that goes across all my devices, so if I forget, it remembers! Still I have also had times when I could not for the life of me remember a password. As you said, if you don't need it then forget about it.
