Hey Victor. I got a text message a few months ago. It stated that my PayPal account has been limited. The only problem with that is that I don’t have a PayPal account. They were phishing in a toilet hoping the Ty-D-Bowl Man would give them a discount tour.

I got a similar message a few weeks ago.
Checked my paypal account, not using the link of course and all was normal and O.K.

Never use a link from a mail or message.

I've had a few texts and emails (not from) paypal & amazon business/prime all asking for bits of information. They've all been flushed away (I hope the drains don't get blocked).

Enjoying the beauty of a (FLOSS/FOSS) application that simply beautifully simply just works. All totally unencumbered.

And also enjoying the lack of disruption when compared to the beautifully stark contrast to that suffered by others in the group for some of their proprietary locked-down software where we've got some jangled nerves that we're about to be 'cut off'... Unless we untangle the latest change to the licensing and payments and which bits of the 'licensing' we're actually using... I can well see where an unknowing accounts person would feel pressured to just wastefully/expensively "sign up to the lot" in total bewilderment at the sales obfuscations...

And... They are all too busy and fearful to look at anything else. And "Training" or learning something new is seen as something that is insulting!

All just a 'game'...

Finally broke down after a long time of curiosity and bought a pulse oximeter. Now I finally know how low my dissolved blood oxygen level is. Scary is the word. 95 and above is normal and the number I saw was not good. I took a snooze without supplemental O2 to find out how low the number is and found a 77. At least I know where part of my motivation is lost.

Do you know why your level is so low Admiral ?
Last month mine was at 97.

I have two good facts. My severely high weight (around 436 lbs) and the work place air quality which can be poor at times.

Good luck!

Posting on a sunny Saturday morning, but those clouds are bound to return.

Anyhow it's coffee time.

I’m on my home oxygen concentrator and my blood saturation is up to around 91 percent now. I’m using a long hose to get around my apartment. The sweet spot is over by my bedroom door. It lets me go anywhere I want be. The oxygen hose is uber long and I can go outside a short ways.

Well I'm about to go and do some more earth leveling out in my driveway before LLB time gets here.

Brilliantly beautiful stars and constellation patterns are brightly shining through a gentle wispy mist... The moon is haloed by a shimmering reverse specular ( :-p ) ...

There is already a frosty damp in the air...

Very glad to have sensibly dressed for the conditions!

O2 I wish I had that, I got up to close the front door 25' away and I was feeling light headed, but I made it, then back to sit down. I'm ok.

Doctors are pulling out of the area cause they want to be paid with Medicare at a minimum, I just have MediCal... So no Doctor.

Well I think that I've got those 2 piles of dirt in my driveway leveled out, but done just in time for LLB just as a few mates turned up so it was beers by the fire today and hopefully today will be our last taste of winter.

Time now for something a bit more solid. ;-)

Cheers.

Beers by the fire with a crowd of mates sounds a great way to end a day :-)
