New Red Pumps

Ahhh computers. Have you ever tried to work on a site when your computer ask you for your customer name and password? Seems like an honest questions. We don't want just anyone flitting around in our site so who are you? Heck if I know.

I received an email reminding me that I needed to renew my website domain names. All part of the business, a necessary evil you could say. The email had a handy 'just click here to renew'. Hee hee, isn't that cute. Just click here. It really should say, " Remove your left shoe and have it at the ready." First question was 'customer name.' I learned my name years ago and my business name is pretty clearly embedded in my head. WRONG! What it should read is, "We hope you remembered the random list of 12 numbers we assigned you two years ago." And the password, don't even get me started. It took me days to recover the password that THEY assigned me. I am not kidding it looked like a swear word. Finally something I could agree with.

Sometimes I feel it's just me that gets into these situations. Not true. I was visiting with my friend Ruth and she had a story about how she got locked out of her online banking. Apparently she tried too many times to remember her password and is now blocked out. She has to go into the bank to get her balance. So much for online.

Every computer should come with a cute red shoe to threaten your computer. Hmm, you would probably need a password to throw it.
