Well, have you ever had one of those days when you wonder if it's all worth it??
Whilst trying to make a new thingy and fiddling over a new mouth, I find out that paypal have limited my account due to "unauthorized access". Being a reasonable sort of human, I reply that it was actually me accessing the account, that's why I knew the password. Back to fiddling with aforementioned mouth, thinking things are going well, whilst punctuating wonderful creativity with frequent trips to email machine to argue with paypal personage. Four hours later, after hundreds of tiny stitches, find out creativity gone haywire and have sewn mouth inside out and back to front :twisted: (Think I will blame paypal!!) Can't face unpicking mouth, would rather have nervous breakdown.
Me thinks I will resort to red wine and a bar of rum & rasin chocolate instead.
Thank you for listening to rantings. I think I feel a little better...now where did I put the chocolate?

Chocolate is an amazing thing.  I know all about those days because I too had one.  Mine did not involve paypal or bears, only a trailer load of hay and a flat tire on the trailer (after the load is on it).  So when the hay is finally in the barn and I have had a nice long bath, what did I do?  I made a huge, deep dish chocolate pie.  I felt like I could either drown myself in chocolate or tear someone or something apart, I chose the chocolate.

Chocolate is the remedy for a gazillion ills.  I have a stash of double chocolate fudge cookies that I have to pillage from time to time.  Jayne, the account of your day was very witty . . . you should write more.  Hope today is a  better one.

Oh boy, you too??? I am learning fast to quit while I am behind  bear_ermm  Would love to say I could have a glass of wine, but even that doesnt work here. But I am saving up all the occasions for one for when I go back to SA. Any of you girls out there that can get good red wine have a glass for me please. My latest mishap was getting my website so that I can search and find it, horray at last. But the title is the wrong thing. so back to the drawing board. Oh and!!!!! bought a packet of onyx beads before coming here. Somehow got them into another bag of black beads I think, because I cant fint them anywhere. So must have, in a tyding up frenzy, tipped them together.

Sometimes you just have to sit and shake your head....

wine and chocolate sounds like a good way to get over frustrations!  bear_whistle  bear_whistle Next time, give me a call and I'll join you!  bear_grin

On to PayPal, are you sure the email was from them? I never, ever respond to an email from them or eBay without going to my account on each and checking for problems. I am always getting emails that my account is limited because of un-authorized activity, but checking the account there is no problem, so email gets deleted without my even opening it up.......Then, they ask why you are changing your name.!.!.!.! If you change your user name or password, they will usually just send a confirmation email, not questioning why. They all sound like SPAM to me.....................

I agree with you Ellen, sounds like spam to me too!  I've gotten alot of it and none was really from paypal.  They were phishing for information is all.  So, change your password and any other important information but do it from the paypal site.  Good luck with all that!
