    Giggles. That sounds like setting a password on a military computer. That is a funny memory. Yes, we had those things written down.

    It drives me bonkers setting up a password because every site has different requirements and half the time they don't tell you those requirements until you've tried a password that doesn't fit. It took me half an hour and a call to tech support to get the password set up on my school account. If I ever lose the notebook that I write all my passwords down in, I'm in trouble.

      I know exactly what you're saying Dana...Must have a special character, must not have a special character, must have an upper case character, must have a number, must have...! I have a piece of software that stores all my passwords so if I ever forget the password to it, I'm hosed. ;)

    A lot of my passwords are rude. I try to be a nice person, but if you would know my passwords, you would see the real me! The little paint of civilisation is crumbling fast with a password requirement.

    I just want it to recognize my voice or put my thumb on a plate. That's me!

      LOL Han...rude passwords work for me. I don't want voice recognition...if you have a cold or a cough, it might not recognize you however, thumb scan would be nice. ;)

    As long as I don't forget the password to my password spreadsheet, I'm okay. Otherwise I'm screwed because I have soooo many.

    This is so very true. I get so frustrated. I once used f**k this as a password and believe it or not, it was okay.

      Snark. Sigh. Sorry to everyone. Things have been...very taxing. I had descended into a horrible mood without realizing just how bad it was until I read this. The password nightmare has been winding my clock for decades now $@!*^&$@! #&*/#!/*$!!! ahem... So, on top of things y'all probably wouldn't believe even if I posted video, my mind went sideways at this universal pet peeve. My (normally only) rapier wit had a sharper edge than usual when I threw humor at it in my comment. I did smile at all of you grumping about it, and I'm truly thankful for that and you. Just wanted to throw this out here, too, in case I keep coming across as too abrasively snarky.

      Ami, you're a riot! Lol! I have given my attitude some thought, and have decided laughing so hard I pee my pants is a much better response than blowing my top over THINGS THAT AGGRAVATE. Guess I better invest heavily in Depends stock. Sigh... ;-)

      Oh Irishey...I am so sorry you are having such a rough time. I love your snarky remarks...they make me giggle. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help your investment in Depends pay off. :D

    You lot have almost made me wet myself!

    I am going to hi-jack this and make it go global - it is the funniest thing you have ever written about, Cat!

    Dan thinks I am nuts because I am still shrieking my head off and clutching my stomach! He has gone to fetch me a glass of water!

    (I have just been through all this with stupid stupid stupid Outlook. It has made me change my password on the first of the month for the last three months!!!)

    Hugs

      LOL Ami...hope you are okay now and haven't wet yourself! ;) Feel free to share it with anyone you want...let me know if you need me to send a copy by email for you to forward around. Sorry you are having such trouble with Outlook...it can be a stinker.
