Don't be me

susandennisI gave my Amazon password to my friend, Scott (New Zealand) so that he and Julie can shop in the US easily and have stuff sent here. I did this a while back and totally forgot about it.
So, of course, today I get an email that someone tried to log in but couldn't because they didn't have the secret code sent to my phone. It's been forever since I changed the password. I should so I did. Still not thinking of Scott, I decided to go all cybersecurity and went to the amazon site and clicked on Log Me Out Of Everything.
DO NOT DO THAT. BAD mistake.
I almost lost my Github subscription. Every one of my echos (all four of them) checked right out. Setting up one is not too fiddly. Setting up four is a major PIA.
Plus, in the confusion, I actually had to reset the password three times.
There is an hour of my life I will not see again.
And then I get a note from Scott saying he needs the code. SIGH. Poor Scott and Julie.
Ok, so now we have a plan. But ugh. I thought changing my Google password was a pain compared to Amazon, Google's a walk in the park.
And people wonder why so many people have password as their password.
And why doesn't the dryer start automatically??? I put the wet clothes in there and shut the door. Why would I do that if I didn't want dry clothes??
Down side of using the white recliner... Julio thinks under it is a great place to hide. There's plenty of room so he doesn't get snagged by the mechanics but he does get trapped. I just need to make sure I know where everyone is. (right now the web cam says they are in their bedroom aka back of the closet)
