I am reluctant to admit here just how dense I have become, but just in case it may keep someone else from the same mistake, I lay bare my folly.

I have a paypal account because I now and then sell on ebay. I have long been aware that I should NEVER click on an email to enter paypal, yet in my dotage, I fell prey to a scam artist or spoofer. I did indeed click on a paypal email concerning my account and entered my password. Thankfully my daughter is also privvy to my account info and told me what I had done. I was able to change the information before any harm was done and there was no money in the paypal account, so all is well thus far. I know the rest of the overfifties members are too wise to suffer a lapse such as I did, but a word to the wise.
Oh, I feel like such a doofus!!!!

Now I shall go about my day berating myself bitterly for becomming senile at such a youthful age.

(Laughing)
Have a wonderful day!

I really don't mean to be a Blog Hog. Just thought you all might like this.

get a very unpleasant surprise. This is true, even if you are not
superstitious, agnostic, or otherwise faith impaired.

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

risk.

FIFTEEN. Say 'bless you' when you hear someone sneeze.

to correct it.

your voice.

TWENTY- ONE. Spend some time alone.

How sad to see that Tony Snow has died of colon cancer. For those who may not know who he is, he was press secretary for President Bush for s time and always cheerful, good humor, the last year or so have been rough for him, but he fought bravely.
GOD rest his soul.
