From The Borowitz Report, something Ive been saying for a long time now that I really wish more folks would take to heart:

Epictetus: "There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will."

A quotation from Fuller, Thomas (1654):


Endure Reproof when thou doest amiss. Its a Benefit which Princes are deprived of for they converse familiarly with very few Persons, and those make it their only Business to humour, not to advise them.

"We Temporarily Opened Up Our to My . Shes Created an Unlivable ."

Alright... hopefully someone here can help...
I know many of us aren't really keen on Facebook -- I get it -- but I'm an adoptee recently in reunion with my bio-sibs who are on FB & so... I kinda need really want FB to work... properly.
The morning of the 30th, I woke up to FB app heavily suggesting that I change my password because I logged into an unrecognized device the night previous. I know that it was me who logged in. I used 2FA. But it has been a minute since I changed the password, so sure, fine, let's change it. Except I can't... because
FB insists I receive a code via WhatsApp, which I do not have
no option to verify using Google Authenticator instead
the WhatsApp number they want to use is my current mobile number... But since they think it's a WhatsApp number, I'm not receiving the codes...
to my knowledge, no WhatsApp has ever been connected to this number

I've reported the issue to Facebook. No response.

More random advice (had to tell some teens this a few years ago at the gas station getting gas for their stranded friend). If you get a gas can, DO NOT HOLD IT IN YOUR LAP IN THE FRONT SEAT (FFS).

I had to tell two young drivers to STOP and put that in the trunk... if you get in an accident, or you accidentally ignite those fumes, your are in a a WORLD OF HURT if you're holding a full 2 gallon or 5 gallon of gas in your lap. BAD BAD BAD BAD.
