I spent around 7 years trying to remember my old Yahoo password. I merely had to recall my recovery question and the very unique answer I gave it.

Why? Well that was before Verizon bought them out, I was still a member of certain Yahoo Groups, before they shut that down ☹️

Yep, about 4 or 5 years or so before Verizon bought them out and shut down Yahoo Groups. So I had a fair plenty of time to catch up with my programming group of the time.

Yahoo today can ligma…

My wife lost her wedding ring in May. We eventually found it in November. We were pretty actively looking for it for the whole time. Checked all the vents. Moved the over, fridge, dishwasher, bed, washer and drier. You name it, we checked it. Eventually disassembled the sectional couch and found it under one of the sections. Which was weird because there were no gaps that it should have been able to fall through to get under there. Like, you couldn’t slide a penny under the couch.

It could be worse. It could have been the Pacific ocean.

The title of the song Why Don’t You by Gramophonedzie. I heard the song playing on radio a long time ago, probably probably around the time it came out in 2010. I didn’t know the lyrics nor the artist and eventually forgot about the song. Then, many years later, I heard people saying good things about a certain Fallout: New Vegas and decided to play it to see what the big deal was. Well, the game has radio stations you can tune in and to my surprise the original song by Peggy Lee which Gramophonedzie remixed is in there. I heard it and instantly thought “…wait, could it be that song?” Well, it was, and I have to thank F:NV for that cause I don’t think I’d ever have found that song otherwise.

Try this.

Life is the meaning. You don’t have to ‘find’ the meaning because you are already it. Even if you don’t consciously know the meaning it’s being enacted, automatically, always.

How about 'Be the reason someone smiles today '? . It’s a magnet I bought and recently shifted someone more prominent.

Oh! I was trying to find the Mozart piece o learned to pay as a kid. It was one of hundreds of minutes that he wrote. Finally found it a few months ago on Spotify! So, a few decades on that.

Also I’m looking for a recording of the episode of The daily show that featured the theft of Crimewatch signs in Northwest PA.
