Been Phished at Facebook & Yahoo!
Permalink  
 

Some of ya'll are also FB Friends and may have noticed via e-mail that I am "stranded in London and need $".
Not true. My FB & Yahoo were hacked for a phishing scam. Soooooo......

My FB acct. has been locked out, my Yahoo e-mail acct. has been locked. So now I have only three "social networking sites."
1) MIP
2) AA
3) My daughter who wants me to read her our entire Dr. Seuss collection.

Well, I have to go, as there is a "Wocket in my Pocket."

Peace,
Rob

Green Eggs and Ham...
This is a classic sales training book about not taking "no" for an answer. I respect Sam. BUT...
If someone is offering me GREEN eggs and GREEN ham...chances are pretty good there's a healthy dose of food poisoning involved.

Peace,
Rob

My Lodge Had a small breakfast/business meeting one year on St Patricks Day.
I was the cook and I prepared GREEN eggs and HAM using food coloring.  I tried for a Kelly Green tint but the green food coloring mixed with the yellow egg yolks and I ended up with a kind of Olive Drab Army color.  I sure received a lot of comments but once the guys got past the visual effect they said they tasted good.

All I can say is some of us are sicker than others so I think I will keep coming back (LOL)

Larry, biggrin

Beautiful graphic, AGO!
Jerry...I would not, could not, with The Lodge. I will not eat them anyway, not even on St. Patrick's Day.

Larry,

I did that once while in college. It was St. Patty's Day weekend and we had a massive party. Many people just passed out on floor s where I lived. One other guy, a gal, and myself went grocery shopping at four in the morning and came back with breakfast for everyone.

Well, I thought it would be a great way to start the day with green eggs for St. Patty's Day. It didn't go over so well.... nothing looks worse when you are hungover then green eggs....

No one ate them... but our dogs loved them!

Norton 360. Dunno if you had a good software in place for this, I thought I had before and then it happened to me too. I have had no probs since Norton 360, but it sure was expensive!!

Take care and enjoy that Wocket... they grow up so fast.

((((hugs)))

There's a TON of free software out there to help with this. Honestly, I haven't paid for virus, malware, or spam software in ages. Do a search and you'll find out how to avoid this in the future. Good luck Rob.

I have BitDefender, but apparently that wasn't enough. But wasn't it Yahoo's server that was hacked...not my laptop? I don't quite understand how this all happened.

Last night she read "Hop on Pop" to me.

Peace,
Rob
