Yes I had this problem. So I created an account with the username silvercar. Then the flat management agent wanted some photos, but didn't want my name on them, so I put them in the silvercar account and sent them to her. Which meant she was the only person in RL who knows I am silvercar...then she became my friend on Facebook. So someone on facebook knows I am silvercar and I fear my VL could suddenly hit my RL.

I am creating new accounts for everything on my phone....

I'm exhausted. Have been since monday, which is a bit strange.
Didn't exactly have a busy weekend, so it's not that.
Haven't had a day off since october, indeed only 3 days off since mid august, & since then had one month with loads of working over, then a very busy month, & have had to work a few saturdays too.

Fortunately I've sorted most christmas shopping already, so won't have excessive weekends between now & christmas. However, wondering if anyone else feels similar? Could it be a form of SAD? Or is it just (more likely) that I've been ploughing on for 3.5 months non-stop with very little in the form of a break?

I've been exhausted this week and my joints are really bad, could barely walk or move on Monday, not so bad yesterday but terrible again today.

Last time I had a 'day off'? Erm, erm, July/August 2006 I think (and even then I got umpteem daily calls about how to deal with them). Not much fun or rest when you are a carer with an ex husband who doesn't want to have the children.

Back to the school yet again this morning, youngest had a (non violent or aggressive) meltdown in maths yesterday where he scribbled all over his work and ripped it up (very very unusual for him to do it in maths) and middle son is not happy in 6th form either.

My grey hairs are multiplying! :rotfl:

1] Created new folder, checked properties/sharing and it said it had to be in the shared folder, so I moved it into there by clicking the link provided, which opened up that folder, then dragged the new folder into there. All looks OK.

2] Found LAN, found scan. It scanned and found the hub and the PC. I clicked on the PC, it asked for username/password. Put those in and it is asking for another username/password, it says above it "connecting to smb://192.168..."

Now stuck... it's not connecting and I've no idea what it wants.

I'm using XP Pro....

Hmm - probably something to do with the user/lan setup on your pc. We have ours set up for per2peer home networking already and it just connects - perhaps you need to run the home network setup wizard on the laptop?

Edit - alternatively pluging the phone into the laptop via the usb should get it to run the auto driver install and then you can probably see the phone as an extenal drive?

It's the PC, not the laptop.

The USB power lead, when plugged in yesterday .... didn't do any installs whatsoever. It just charged the phone.

I either direct upload to Facebook or email them to myself via the wifi.

Failing that, I will connect via the cable and transfer photos or videos that way.

I created a new PB account

I am suspecting that all this time I have not been using the wifi for the camera... but have been using the phone account..... not sure how to know/check.

Ahem! In the Michaels household I am resposnible for buying all the food and planning all the meals and I have a system when I put away in the fridge - meat in meat drawer, veg in crisper drawer which is below the meat one but both are drawers so no danger of anythign dripping. Bottom drawer is randon bottles/cans, shelf above is larg bottles on side and unopend milk and juice cartons (opened ones go in the door), next is the large veg drawer (all veg except potatoes and onions which live in a cupboard and sometime tomatoes) then the smaller meat drawer (which could really be a bit larger) then a large shelf for 'bread' type products that most people would probably keep in a bread bin then a small shelf for chilled savoury products - quiche, home cooked products in tupperware, eggs, coleslaw etc then top shelf is chileed desert type products - yoghurts and so forth and also cheese and various chocolate bars. Open condiments (pickle, ketchup, jam etc) in the door.

That is how I leave it after unpacking the shopping - after a week of DW/DKs using stuff it is completely random

To clarify, my point was not one of sex, but one on the benefits of living alone. Which you have confirmed.

If you lived alone and were the master of your fridge it would be nice. If your Dw lived alone the disorder of shelves wouldn't bother her, everyone would be fridge happy.

The benefits of living en famille are clear, the benefits of life solo sometimes need highlighting.

It's not what I see that upsets me with PB, it's what the viewers see.

Also, privacy .... if I share a photo of my pie then people can continue to travel through my PB account - or maybe I can "fix" that by using Albums. I have a load of photos on PB from about 2006/2007, but I want to share individual photos, not the lot.

Edit - just checked PB and I can share a direct link to the image OK.... so off to resurrect my old PB account

Edit: Just logged onto my account and found a photo. Copied the url and displayed the photo on the screen.... I could see the entire path of that image and, by stripping out sections, could then find all/every other album and photo I've uploaded. And that's what I wanted to avoid. If I have 10 cake photos and I just want to share 1 .... I don't want people stripping down the url and seeing the other 9.

I had no idea my photo bucket wasn't private! :rotfl:

Edit...phew, have now deleted selfies, particularly those unsavoury ones sent to doctors!!!!!!
