Sticky

A description in a few words I love photography. It carries me away and the world does not interfere. I am free to express my thoughts. I write inconsistently. Not because I have nothing to say, but because I wait until a strong thought comes to me and I feel an urge to express it. I often write for speeches I give at Toastmasters clubs. I design T-shirts, graphic arts posters and sometimes my doodles turn out to be what I expected. I am new to this and am slowly learning how to get better at it. Enjoy yourself here. My musings are for fun.

Don’t Talk to Strangers From a post on Nextdoor “PLEASE BE ALERT!!!!! this can be a scam, this is the third time that happens to me at the Costco in Northridge, after I finished my shopping, a fancy car approached me a man driving and a lady they asked me today for Where is Super King? or a silly close by address, they have telephones and a fancy car with GPS, I immediately got away from the car, and told them from far away, use your phone, they answered “it does not work”, but what about the car’s GPS?, and again this is the thirdRead More →

It is easier for criminals to create websites that look identical to the real deal. Brand websites are being cloned to steal from you. You need to be much more careful now. FROM Malwarebytes: When you are conned out of your ID information or passwords, usually the next step is loss of money. A criminal who has your email address can create accounts that cost you money. In some cases, that money cannot be retrieved. My best advice to anyone who goes online, uses social media or email:

Telephone Spam Risk

Spammers are now calling, pretending to be legit companies like PayPal or banks and convincing people to withdraw cash. I have heard from several clients that they have lost cash money to scam phone calls. The caller pretends to be their legit bank, even showing or telling them their balance. The call is accepted as truth because of the numbers matching. At this time I do not know how the scammers are getting this information. What can you do? The threat is real. Do not be the next victim

Ace Magician Windows PC is small and powerful. The space it takes up is about the same as a book on it’s edge. It does not require a stand of any kind as it is shaped like a tent. The setup was semi-automatic. I did have to download and install the drivers so I could connect to Bluetooth devices. This part is not obvious, and not recommended for noobies. Every other part of getting up and running under Windows 11 was painless. It is quiet, colorful, and runs fast with the Ryzen 6900 processor. My favorite part is the no-screw access to the inside.

The Golden Ticket

My favorite rant is the Golden Ticket. I can speak for a very long time and tell stories to keep you interested. What is the Golden Ticket? It is key information on any topic that identifies the facts you need to understand how that topic works. In the Internet world, if you are an entrepreneur, finding out how to make big bucks describes the search for the Golden Ticket. Without that, you will quit, be unfulfilled, and with an empty wallet. In the world of finance, it is the background to an investment that the experts know. The information that would help you to investRead More →

Here is the story of how a new probiotic rescued my day from ruin. I was having breakfast with a friend on the morning after a wonderful overnight in Mussel Shoals. We stopped at a restaurant on our way to Port Hueneme. I ordered a new dish on the menu. We stopped at the Camarillo Outlet Mall for a quick errand and suddenly my stomach was in distress. Over the next ten minutes I felt it getting worse and headed to the public restroom to prepare for the worst. It felt like my gut was filling with gas and it was becoming extremely painful.

I do not suffer from migraines, but many do. Those who do suffer in all aspects of their life. Now it is possible for migraine relief – at last. Migraines are not just headaches. Migraines have other symptoms that cause a person to stop doing normal activity. It could include nausea, vomiting, and or vision difficulties. Most people who suffer look everywhere for relief. When I heard that my wellness doctor was now treating migraine sufferers and overheard a story from a patient in his waiting room, I was pleased. I then found out he was publishing a book to reach even more sufferers withRead More →
