Seizures and safety, the bloody learning Curve

Get, I' m trying to be really careful about going out and about with my seizures in mind. I am learning  various triggers, and am usually fairly confident about predicting when they will happen. Problem is I have ones that are unpredictable... They hit me like a bolt of lightning. I was having a walk through the park today, felt fine. The next thing I knew I lost control of my right side as my leg started mild convulsions. These were mild enough that I could keep my balance with my other side but I waiting for the day a severe happens... Same thing happened a few days before but fortunately I was close enough to catch hold of a wall - or I would have been swimming in the canal!

It's cold, just far too cold. And those swans are getting vicious.


On the bright side - I made cookies!  Coffee with triple chocolate chips ^_^

Passwords

Password are now a daily part of life. We need them for everything from email address to bank accounts.  Often we have so any that it becomes easier to have the same password for multiple accounts.  This is much easier to remember, however it is also dangerous!

A few weeks ago the company Evernote (excellent programme) was hacked. This means the emails and passwords of account were seized.  Thankfully Evernote blocked the accounts and issued a password reset globally. The problem lies in another area.

If the email address you use made use of the same password as your email account, this means the hackers can log into your email and steal your account.  In my case the password was identical to the one I used for PayPal.  This was a massive error and it was fortunate they didn't try to log Into PayPal.

There is good reason to have separate passwords for different accounts.  At the very least email accounts and PayPal,or similar services should be given unique passwords.  This way if one is hacked the others are safe!
