This & That - The November-December edition

Am slightly miffed because the adorable little microwave potholders left over from the Bazaar (end of October)sold before I could free up the money to buy them myself. They would have made cute stocking stuffers.

My elder sister oddyssia's husband died suddenly the weekend before Thanksgiving -- heart attack/stroke. He was a large man, with health

Thanks, I'll pass along the condolences.... Lynn & Mike didn't have any children, just three/four kitties: George, Agatha, Lexie and Orange Puff (Puff is a stray who occasionally deigns to grace the threshold when the weather is nasty --gorgeous long fur!).

The odd part about the Hacker is that about two years ago they hacked my sister, same message/scam. Funny thing, if it had been a message about my Mom or my cat-show judge sister, it would have been barely plausible, them being the world travelers of the family.

I will PM my address.

Awww, sad hugs for Lynn... :(

That particular hack is common as dirt, and used to be a lot more common. It's just script kiddie stuff, not serious hacking.

Might be 'kiddie stuff', but it still deleted the contact lists and e-mails....such a hassle re-building the church address book.

"Script kiddie" is someone who uses prefabs (often buggy) rather than doing their own hacking from scratch. If it were a pro, they'd leave no obvious traces.

But yeah, doesn't make it any more fun to fix. :(
