Over *

Facebook has gotten way too big and out of touch with regular people.. You can't talk to them directly.. My account remains locked.. This message greets me after every attempt to login..: Your Account Is Temporarily Locked
We've locked your account because someone recently tried to log in from an unfamiliar location. Please help us confirm that it was you who tried to log in.

What this means.. I have no idea.. But after trying for several hours to get into my account I found a message that said it could be up to 96 hours until I can log back in.. Hell in 96 hours (that's four days in case you have trouble with math) I could easily be out of the notion to have it back.. 

I changed my password again for the twentieth time.. It says it's a strong one this time...  Well it better be.. See no password I use on any account of any kind is related in anyway to me.. They have very few letters in there.. More symbols than anything.. Makes my passwords unique, most people use significant dates or times for their passwords..   

Four days is long enough for me to say enough is enough.. Will I try to get it going still??  FB is where everyone is at that I know or care about.. Going anywhere else would seem futile and I don't want to do that again.. BUT...  if push comes to shove I will try to get my account back mostly to delete it.. And if I can't do that then trying to get another account going isn't out of the question. That being said right after the sentence that said I would delete that account seems rediculous to say.. It is my response to how important FB is... To me it is important (this past October being one of the reasons) but then there is always the best way to talk to someone and that is face to face... or by phone.. or e-mail I suppose.. So what direction will I go??  Still facebook, I checked other sites but when it all gets said and done it wasn't even close.. Myspace is still there, my old account is still likely there, but I haven't been there is years.. And it isn't like it was.. Twitter is the main site for me right now and i will check who or what I follow to get some control over it.. Following two thousand entities means absolutely nothing if anyone I know "tweets"  and I can't see it through five thousand tweets in my news feed.. Paring down to two or three hundred makes a shitload sense to me.. 

The logic of getting something else was defeated by the logic to stay put and either try to get the old site going or try to get a new one going and if I can't access the account then telling everyone to delete the old one from their friends list.. What would I be missing from the old one?? Plenty but sometimes a restart is a good thing.. Get out of the political horse shit.. Like Kathy said last year at the pumpkin patch, she really has no time for political crap..  I like news sites but.. This election year has been a royal crapfest and it's only going to get worse..   

I'd like to have a site that was my news feed and has friends/family on there.. A blog??   Nope, been there, tried that..   What the "family" blog was actually started for was.. Well it was before a certain family member had to leave the country to get their visa situated and what I was hoping for was some information from that person instead of being in the dark.. But in the dark is where we were all throughout and I guess we made it through.. That seems forever ago.. But it was just last week.. Only joking of course..  

So 96 hours.  wait 95 hours now, and if I can't get back on by this coming Tuesday then I will likely start a new account.. Or not.. By then I might be out of the notion.. c'est la vie... 

Badge Henry 


(P.S. Ok so if you know me you are going to get an invite from me to friend on my "new" FB page.. It will look familiar and it won't.. Try as I might I just can't get my real name to be who I am.. So again it is Badge Henry..  I tried to have it be Stutch Thirteen but it wouldn't take.. Yet Badge Henry would.. Why??  I have no idea..  Just like Nuclear Infected took, why there I have no idea as well.. The other FB page is a goner I think.. That's just as well.. Not that I had a thousand people I knew, it was more like 29.. And that was fine.. A new email and password and they took the Badge Henry as my name.. How weird is that.. Will I do things different this time??  Yes.. But first the password.. Having to change it again and this time it isn't related to the last password, at all.. The old password was the original password spelled in various ways three times..  So I thought it was almost untouchable and it wasn't remotely related to my name or anything like that.. it was a single word repeated three times.. Oh well.. Guess the new password.. Actually .. Here might be the reason my facebook got hacked.. I was having troubles with the computer and rather than shut down the browser proper I shut it down, the computer.. Went to safe mode, opened the browser and got on FB, clicked to get off that browser and without logging out started another browser and started FB there.. Mistake.. Got to an answer these questions to varify who I am and shut off the browser without logging out.. Restarted the computer, got my browser started and when I logged onto my FB it went to the message above.. Tried to reset my password, reset my password... reset my password, reset my password  reset my password, reset my password  reset my password, reset my password  reset my password, reset my password  Et al..  And have tried to rest the damn thing for the past 24 hours with over night off for good behaviour.. Got back at it this morning and off and on tried jumping through the hoops to get it going.. Then.. shortly after noon.. I gave up.. That page is yours if you want it.. If you don't already have it.. So the new one looks almost identical.. All the pictures are the same.. doctoring wise they are the same.. I use Photoshop glowing edges to make my avatar and background.. All of which were done long ago.. So..  again again.. )
