I have way too many passwords. I can’t keep track…it’s horrible.
I used to have one password for everything dating back to when I first needed one–for my hotmail email account (we’re talking 1995 here…). This worked wonders until paypal and ebay started requiring more than 5 or 6 digits. Then everything started requiring a login–online banking, online billpay for all of the different bills (cell phone, gas & electric, insurance) and they all started requiring longer passwords. OK. So I add a little bit to my password and modify it to make it longer…no biggie…until someone hacks my paypal account and steals $800.00 (about 3 years ago). Ah, I’ll change my password every once and a while then…so I get two that I switch back and forth with.
But now I have several sites that have my original password because they require less security (and have mostly directory information–no credit card numbers or anything) and several sites with one of my modified passwords. Then I have to create a new loooooong password for my VISA login page…OK…but then APU requires I change my login password every 6 months…I just can’t keep track anymore!!
I’m losing my mind!On another note–Midway was awesome, as usual…and we bought Arrested Development Season One on DVD for $20 from Target. Not only is that a great deal for a TV show–but it’s a hilarious show! Too bad it was only three seasons total…

i think 3 seasons of arrested development is a TRAVESTY! I could use SO much more of that show in my life!!!!!
Yesterday’s music portion of the service was truly exceptional. I wasn’t able to attend the preceding practice so in respect of your policy of no rehearse no sing I sang from the congregation.
Very good music, good soloists, good tone, etc etc. Very nice!
i love arrested development
I think I probably have about 30-40 different passwords. Some don’t require that I change them – ever. Some I have to change as often as every 30 days. I have a VERY good memory, but it can only handle so much information. So . . . I write them all down. Not the passwords, but clues as to what they are. Like if the password was twntotr09, my clue would be Staci’s EM/Sept. or something like that. Things that only you would know. Helps me, anyway.

Thanks!
Know what you mean about those passwords Daniel…I usually write them down too, and keep them in a safe spot. BTW,Kevin got a new I-Phone….lucky guy!
I’m with you brother, this pass word thing can be maddening.
