After this happened to me a couple of times I bought a key ring/chain pill container from the chemist. I put one each of the various meds I'm on in it, attached to my house keys, so I've always got a backup on me if I forget to take one or need a dex top up.

My Win 11 laptop keeps trying to force me to try 'New Outlook' instead of the default Mail app. I'd do it, but currently Mail is an aggregate for multiple email accounts for my small biz and I can't risk stuffing them all up migrating the accounts

On the topic of Tolkien, this morning I was going through some old books that were still in boxes from moving house last year. Found a copy of The Adventures of Tom Bombadill which I've had for decades, I remember my grandmother used to read it to me when I was a kid in the 70's. Well, it turns out that this little hardback is a first edition print from 1962 (UK release) and some are selling online for $700+, one seller had a copy up for $1100!

No plans to sell it, but I should probably take a bit more care with it :)

After years on pre-paid, I got a new phone on a plan yesterday. The initial setup went smoothly, settings and security all good , but I've spent the whole morning (and most of last night actually) having to re-login and setup most of my apps again. Thank dog for password managers, I would have been stuffed if I had to try and remember them all or rely on various scribbled post-it notes. What watch do you have?

The toll one is odd, I never got that particular one until I made a rare and very short trip (like one junction) on Eastlink a couple of weeks ago. I've had five scam texts since then. If you go on the Eastlink website there's a big red 'priority alert' warning at the top of the page, so they're obviously aware of it, but it seems to me that their system is compromised somehow.

Do you/did you use any cessation aides or methods in particular? I'm close to trying to quit - the rolling tobacco I used to get for about five quid back in the UK (around $10 aud) is now over $90 here for a smaller pouch. Vaping isn't for me I don't think. Anyway, good luck with it.
