I’m trying to pass time and thought of a couple things that I needed to do. I was unfortunately a LastPass customer and I left them last month and switched to a different password manager. Which is highly suggested since they haven’t really been forthcoming. I’ve not had fun changing all of my passwords, but that is a recommended task after you migrate away. I remembered that I put in a security code for a couple accounts as well as security questions & answers. This afternoon I updated the security codes and security questions.
Regardless of what the security question is it’s best practice to have a different answer. As an example if you grew up on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and the security question is What was street was your childhood home on? Your answer should NOT be truthful but instead something random like 57 Chevy. This is because it’s fairly easy for people to use social engineering to figure this out and because there are now tracks on the internet so it’s just easily attainable information. The problem is it’s easy to remember the truth but it’s when you lie that you have a problem remembering, that’s where tracking stuff like this in a password manager/vault comes in handy. The truth/lie thing is a tip I picked up from watching Judge Judy back in the day.
In addition to doing this I remembered that back before Gator passed away I changed my emergency contact and beneficiary at work to my brother. Given his reaction when I called to tell him about Gator and the fact that he no longer had my cell phone number, spoke volumes to me. He really could careless about me. It’s been that way my whole life but this cemented it. This afternoon I changed everything back to my Thanksgiving friend. If/when I meet someone or even make a closer friend I may revisit making changes. I know my Thanksgiving friend won’t live forever so time is working against me there, because he’s up there in the age bracket.
Odd thing is that he, you and a couple other friends are the only people that know about Morea & Rudy. I’ve not felt compelled to share that information with anyone else. No one has asked me if I got more cats and I am sure that eventually it might come up, I’m not sure if I will share that or not kind of depends on the person and circumstances. Not sharing information has it’s advantages.
I was waiting for a specific time to roll around because I had a work task to take care of. That time has passed and the task is done. I am ready to head upstairs to be with the cats. I know they will be eager to see me. I’m finishing off the pizza tonight. Last night was the first night where I had no extreme allergy symptoms. Hopefully this pattern keeps up because that was no fun. I’ll either have an Oreo Bar for desert or if I feel like it I will dive in for a piece of Carrot Cake. I want the cake but I think of how much bread was in the pizza and for some reason that makes me want to change my mind. I know it makes no sense because I’m not exactly eating healthy so it really matters not but for some reason that’s just how my brain works.
Have a good evening and be well.
