Dear Gabby
Welcome back to the Dear Gabby column! Spring has officially sprung, and the weather is crazy. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me 30,000 times, and you must be a weather person. With all the eating I’ve done this winter, I’m just happy my flip-flops still fit. There’ll be no gardening for me this year. The only thing I’m growing this spring is older (and more irritable), but enough about me. Drop me a line to Dear Gabby at PostcardsLive.com for some cleverly disguised astute advice.
DEAR GABBY
Why, oh why, do I have to continually change the passwords on my computer programs? Some sites will still take the password I had three pets ago, and some seem to be temporary and have to be changed every time I try to access the site. I am not a young person, and I could remember a few, but each program has different password criteria. I know it’s for my own good, but my identity would not be an improvement to anyone’s. Any ideas? BETTER SORRY THAN SAFE
DEAR B S T S
Ideas, yes. Solutions, no. All my passwords are protected by senility. I tried using the required letters and numbers and came up with “14days”, but it was two week. Then I tried “beefstew”, but it’s not stroganoff. I had one site with a requirement of eight characters and a number, so I picked Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. Nope, that didn’t work. I finally got so frustrated that I typed in all the naughty words I have ever heard, and guess what? That username was already taken! I gave up.

CONFIDENTIAL TO “SEPARATE BEDROOMS”:
I can relate. However, despite the old saying, “Don’t take your troubles to bed,” I still sleep with Dud.
May you be blessed with a home filled with peace, harmony, joy, and love. Peace on Earth and Happy Easter!
