A few years ago I chose to stop thinking about it. I just refill the roll and don’t worry about it. When I realized it didn’t matter, it was a weight lifted off my shoulders. Same with trying to stop the gas pump on the nearest dollar or setting the tv volume to an even number.

I don’t know why I felt such a relief when I let go, but I did and now I’m free!

This is a method I heard once for remembering random passwords that I thought was clever.

Create your own alphabet of words (or random characters). A is for Apple, B is for Boy, C is for Cat…etc.

For every letter in the URL, you use the word from your alphabet. Ex:

www.facebook.com

F = Fog, A = Apple, C = Cat, E = Egg, B = Boy, O = Off, O = Off, K = Kite

Next, you need a number if you didn’t use one in your alphabet.

Facebook is 8 letters long so I might use 8. Or only letters repeated once. Or maybe you use the whole URL. Up to you, but you do it the same way for every site. You create a patter that you follow and can remember, rather than remembering every password.

Need a symbol? Assign that to the top level domain. In my example, .com = # .edu = ? .org = * etc

Put it all together and my example password would be “8FogAppleCatEggBoyOffOffKite#”.

A password for google.com might be ‘6GolfOffOffGolfLogEgg#’.

Obviously, you don’t have to do it this exact way with the alphabet, number, and symbol. The idea is that you create a set of rules that you remember and follow. If you write down “A = Apple B = Boy…” and someone finds it, it won’t be instantly obvious that it is meant for passwords.

My whole family loved these games.

Later, I realized Amy Hennig worked on these at Crystal Dynamics before leaving for Naughty Dog where she worked on the Uncharted Series.

Skyrim. I’m a Skyrim hoarder, grabbing every flower I run by. While driving to work I remember thinking, I need to get those. Thank goodness I remembered not to do that in real life.

I found an article on other photos taken during that time. It doesn’t mention this one specifically but it does say there were a whole series of photos staged on beams during construction of the RCA building. It was a promotional photo shoot.

I thought of another one. That band Bloodhound Gang has some goofy songs. Obviously they have that one over-played song, but they also have a song that is just Ralph Wiggins quotes.

Maybe Beck? Que’ Onda Guero always makes me giggle.

And, a bit of a different genre but Father John Misty’s songs are sarcastic and often nonsensical. They sound all romantic and dreamy but the lyrics don’t always match the vibe.

I could be misremembering, but I believe this is a bit of photography trickery. I think there is actually a platform under his feet and it’s not as far down as it seems.

I’m hoping with the easing up of emulators and game streaming that Nintendo and Sega would just put official emulators up. Honestly, I’d pay them for access to one and to related games.

I know this is mostly wishful thinking but, a woman can dream.

Yeah, it wasn’t so bad except for the boarding. But I’m with you. I don’t want to rush to be crammed into a can of sardines any longer than I have to be.

Not all airlines assign seats. I learned this last year. Southwest doesn’t assign seats but you get assigned groups for boarding. You can probably pay for earlier groups but I don’t know, I wasn’t the one who purchased the tickets directly.

Anyways, you line up in order of your boarding assignment. The earlier you get on the plane the better seat you get.

I hated it. Just assign seats.

Anywhere but the bottom half of the phone. I hate that the charging port is on the bottom. It’s in the way when I need to use my phone while charging.

I enjoyed Starfield. It’s not perfect, but I like space battles.

I set an alarm but I have a bad habit of turning it off and just going back to what I was doing.

I don’t know why he won’t give me XR. When I brought it up, he pushed Vyvanse instead. I’m not opposed to trying it, now that it’s generic but I asked my pharmacist and she said she wouldn’t because they can’t get that in stock either.

Doc did suggest I set an alarm in a different room next to the pills. It forces me to get up and turn it off. I do that when I work from home.

How am I supposed to remember if I have to take more than one pill a day? lol my doctor won’t prescribe XR so it wears off early and I have to take more. But mostly I forget to take the 2nd one then crash way way too early. 🙃

I can’t remember where it was, but I used to work at a title company. We processed a refinance on “Whiskey Dick Ln”.

I use it to get around website article limits when they try to force me to sign up.

I don’t know why your Spotify was pausing! Just thought I’d share my experience, in case it helped you or someone else researching this in the future.

I can’t tell you how many times I have been saved by finding a 2 year old forum post with the same issue that I was having.

This kept happening to me. Then, I realized my account was compromised. Someone in China was also using it to listen to music. It kept pausing every time they started playing a song.

Why would they think this is okay?
