    Utilities I understand - though after 50yrs of the same from me, they might smell a rat ;) Or hopefully at least confirm.

    The library I've been going to since I was 4yrs old and have always known all of them in there and we socialise sometimes. Frankly some wild language suddenly appearing it would be a hoot!

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well

    I don’t mean this rudely, but your naivety and lack of concern about security issues is concerning. 

    From time to time, on this board we see the other side. How distressed people are because someone has gradually taken over their digital identity because they wrote everything down. 

    For example, it might not be fun comments at the library. What if they use it to get a library card (an automated service that none of the librarians you socialise with will even see). Or sign you up for a supermarket loyalty card that’s used in one of the fraud schemes.

    Thank  you PHK . I understand your concern.
    I honestly have a long list of worries of considerable size in my life and I will add it on to the list of things that must be done.
    But there is one thing I've learned in life is that when that list is long the only thing you can do is tackle them one at a time in order of priority or you will go completely round the bend and make mistakes.
    Perhaps my next question on here is to recommend a password manager and how to use it.

    Hi you could just remember one password; the one for your Google account, then let Google do all the password management for you.

    See the details and video on this page:

    Good luck!

    It will take you a minute or two to setup a password manager if you use Google and only slightly longer if you use something like Bitwarden.
