in terms of ID theft these are scary times and people generalize to an extreme their need to conceal everything from public view.

someone can put your license-plate when seeing that
it was weirder, not that long ago, i noticed a car parked suspectly and questioned the bloke, the dog found him in the backyard, good dog, he played pee-ing and i memorized the plate and wrote it down,
some days later a acquitance/friend dropped by, same car same number, so we inquired,
and he was surprised and enlightened, he had plants stolen from his garden and when he asked his neighbours if they had seen anyone, they told his car was at his place, ...while he wasn't there

or you get a fine for a traffic event where you weren't near by several hundreds of miles, crossing a red light in paris at four in the morning, spectacular, but you must pay first and complain later

and the road spying gets worse and worse, these so called eco-lanes, funny they're located where the robberbarons had their days of prosperity, back to the future, but they see everything and heavily armed holdups over two packets of tobacco ,oh well,
there IS control,
but rather misplaced in these times

ID theft terrifies me and i can certainly respect that, but i still find it a bit funny. and perhaps more than that, paranoid, i mean....your license plate is visible 24/7, every day of the year, anyone who comes across your car can write it down, or even steal it provided they have a simple screwdriver. it's always out there and vulnerable, is putting it on the internet really that much more of a risk at that point?

it is one o those impotent stabs at self-defense in the absence of anything really effective to keep the evil ones at bay. a little bit better than whistling past the graveyard.

I threw the blankets off myself this morning, and the blanket hitting a mostly-full glass of water was enough to knock it over... right onto the pile of papers that were stories I've been writing for years. What an excellent way to start the day :roll: Thank goodness I have both a hard copy and an electronic copy, so I didn't completely lose it - it just means I need to re-write the hard copy in case something happens to the flash drive I've got the electronic one on.

^That's one reason why I don't have food or water in my room. I hope you can recover everything.

Every now and then I get demon possessed hands and today I managed to slap curry all over the control panel of my microwave. I almost dropped all my dinner. Grabbed at things indiscriminately. Then cleared up the curry smears.

These hands just take on a mind of their own for a few seconds and all hell breaks loose.

I was left stood there in astonishment wondering - how did that happen?

It could be muscle spasms or just a lack of concentration.
I have no idea really. Perhaps the nerves overacting?

The worst thing about having painful teeth is that I can't chew the skin around my fingernails.
My lip is almost healed but the inside of my mouth where the teeth went through the skin is full ulcers.
Ouchie.

I miss real food.

Had you ever been so lax?
That you start muttering nonsense for laughs, act like an adult child, and not care of what yourself and anyone else may say?? :lol:

I am thinking about self-compassion and how it helps to heal old wounds. :heart:
