Welcome to 2026! I hope this is a good year for everyone, hopefully even better than last year. Try not to fall over folks, it's not fun. 🌞🎈🎉 Coming to you from sunny Australia, that big lump of land under the equator. Sunday Selections will be continuing, hosted by me , participation is optional, if you can't manage every week for any reason, that's okay. Words for Wednesday will also be continuing, hosted by me , and again, participation is optional, play when you can, take a break when you need to. Charlotte will be providing a colour for each month as she did last year, we try to use the colour somewhere in our posts, either photographing something with that colour or using it in another way. This month's colour is Carmine: Isn't that just gorgeous? And why is my text in two different sizes?
Darn people who want to scam others.
ReplyDeletepeppylady (Dora); it's just so annoying.
DeleteMaybe call The Geek Squad and see if they have any suggestions????
ReplyDeleteonly slightly confused; there's a geek squad? In the phone book?
DeleteSo sorry you are being tormented and thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteArkansas Patti; it isn't me being tormented, it's all you people out there who are receiving emails supposedly from me. I don't get the emails myself, only a heads-up from someone else who got one.
DeleteThey will always be with us.
ReplyDeleteJoanne; they really need to find something else to do.
DeleteYou are having a hard time of it lately. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeletejenny_o; I heard from someone recently that has more than one email address and apparently has been getting spam emails "from me" for years now :(
DeleteI try to be cautious. If it is a name I do not know, or a business, I don't open it.
ReplyDeleteSusan Kane; that's always the best way.
DeleteAre they hacking back into your account, or have they copied your contact list and kept it and just keep sending stuff out periodically? Either way, it's annoying.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; I suspect they've just copied the contact list and now these emails are computer generated. I went through the list yesterday and deleted 95% of contacts so we'll find out soon if they keep using the old list or somehow get the new one.
DeleteThose Mumbai escorts won't leave me alone! The spam filter used to catch anonymous commenters, but it stopped.
ReplyDeleteKathy's Klothesline; mine too. Every now and again one gets through, so you have to do the whole routine again. Go to your comments, tick the spam one, mark it as spam and then go into your spam folder and delete it. That should keep them away for a while as your filter recognises them again.
DeleteThanks for that.
ReplyDeleteMargaret-whiteangel; you're welcome.
DeleteThanks, River. I'll get "Red" onto their tail!!!
ReplyDeleteLee; That could work, "Red" is in prison, but that doesn't seem to stop him from outside contacts.
DeleteI've stopped alerting people,. At this point most people can sniff this crap out easily. Like Joanne says they will always be with us...we need to learn to ignore.
ReplyDeletejoeh; I know most people are wise to these things, but I have a few readers new to me, so I put up a warning just in case.
DeleteIt is hard work, but maybe you should change your email address. And if you change to gmail from yahoo, I will a notification as soon as you comment.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; changing the address means notifying at least three dozen people that I can think of and that's just the ones who don't blog.
