WHAT MADE YOU GRIMACE & GRIT YOUR TEETH TODAY?

This person mut have access to your facebook page. else they couldnt see your friends.
I think I'm on your FB friends and I havn't recieved a request.

Yeah, I've reported and asked each person to report and then unfriend. The imposter only has 4 friends right now (out of many more requests).

No idea who this is. This happened to a friend of mine a while ago but he is way more famous than I am.

Dadpad, you have a point. I think whatever access is very limited though since this person has only used one photo -- my profile pic (repeated three times in "profile pics"). (This is my real-name account btw, not my sozobe account.)

I changed my password right after I found out about it just in case.

Aaack, Soz. This would give me agita'.

Sozobe, did you put your friends on private setting, so no one could see who you're friends with? If you had done so then it must be someone from
your friend list - even more scary.

Yeah. I have the highest security settings.

I don't quite get how they would have access to my friends list but nothing else (i.e. photos). Maybe they're just lazy and thought the profile pic was enough? But why three times?

I try to really be careful about who is on my friends list too, only people I actually know.

The impersonator's friends are down to two, so that's good, but I wish FB would act already. People have been reporting, must be at least a dozen reports so far.

Sozlet noticed something I hadn't, which is that on the impersonator's profile, "Harry Porter" (with an "r") is in the movies section. When I hovered my mouse over that link it looked a little odd. So maybe that's part of the point (get people to visit the impersonator's profile, then they like Harry Potter too and click on it and then bad stuff happens).

FB has been inundated with hackers and impersonators recently.
guess it goes with the territory of being a large, popular, high-traffic site...

Sozobe, if the impersonator can see your friends but not your pictures, you probably don't have your friends unlisted. Your fb setting should look like this...

I do (if I log out of my account or if I'm using my sozobe account to view my real-name account, I can't see my friends). This person got at 'em somehow. Not sure how.

I just double-checked, just in case, every setting in my real-name account is "friends only."

That sucks Soz!!!


Here's my whinge.


Poor Miranda. The ******* plane was leaving at 9.15 Monday, which meant I didn't have enough time to get her into boarding on Monday morning and get the plane. So...I had to take her off her sun perch, where she was ecstatic, and take her to the damn vet's on Saturday.

Then, on Sunday night I got some sort of mutant gastro which continued all Monday, and I was too sick to GO on the gbloody plane!!!

Man, did that go over badly. I think you are supposed to go if you're dead. My boss was on the phone trying to get me to figure out how could get the stuff I had prepared for the trip to the airport. Because I had kept hoping I would be ok (my bags were packed, I was dressed etc.) it was too late to get a taxi to do it. I'd have done it myself...but it was too dangerous to drive in that state.

I was too sick to pick Miranda up until yesterday afternoon. So I get to pay 4 day's boarding for no earthly purpose.

And, I am pretty much better...but I am almost too scared to go to work.

I'll do an extra trip to make up.

I went to the grocery store and bought, among other things, a gallon of milk, some frozen raspberries and a dozen eggs. I put the groceries in the trunk of my car and drove home. Once home I cannot get the trunk of my car open.

I've tried everything I can think of to get through the back seat into the trunk. The back seats fold down but the latches are in the trunk, of course. I even took a broom handle and pushed it through the split in the back seat to unlock the emergency latch. It doesn't work either. Ack!

Thank goodness it's not 80 degrees. I guess the only alternative is to go to the dealership in the morning. I hope things don't start to smell by then.

Frustrating! Especially when your ingenious broom trick didn't work.

Damn!!!


Good luck with that!

prolly to late to the party now.
why cant you open the trunk? How do you normally open it.

Key in lock? a cable and lever? Both? electronic lock?

Had a small fire in/under the griller today.
I put some bread under the grill for for a ham 'n cheese toasty. I forgot.

smoke detector went off whilst I was outside but to me it sounded like the noise was coming from the house behind.

I eventually went back into a (OH! ****!) house full of smoke. the wall behind the stove was black from smoke.
I managed to clean most of it off before Mumpad got home. still noticable but I dont think she realises just how close it was.

She probably does now!!!!

Hey, Mumpad!

Setanta's post earlier where he did something he had told, in his forthright style, fa not to do and how silly it was doing that sort of thing.

My eyes narrowed as well as grimacing and gritting my teeth. I only started tittering a few seconds later.

Took it in this morning. A screw in the latch mechanism was broken. They had to remove the entire back seat to get into the trunk. The trunk opens either with an electronic button on the key fob or a mechanical lever next to the driver's seat. Neither would open the trunk last night. There is no key cylinder in the trunk door. Back seats fold down but the latches to release them are, of course, in the trunk.

I'm a bit hesitant to put anything in the trunk now that couldn't safely stay there a day or two. Even though it's fixed, I have a seed of doubt. My once perfect car is no longer so. <schniff>

Hope Mumpad wasn't too hard on ya.

Had this very problem with an old Camry, Swimp. Never broke down again after I fixed it.

That said -- maybe you could rig something up so you can release the back seat levers without getting into the trunk? Gotta say, I always feel closer to a car once I've had to jury-rig something on it.

A strap/cord from the back seat latch into the back seat area would be mighty handy swimpy and not too hard to rig up I bet.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... attempting (being the operative word) to install a 2TBnetwork drive, router and the laptops - and getting the drives to show... 2 minute job (so said the soon-to-be-shredded manual grrrrrr) and 5 hours later just starting a back-up grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (why don't (de)instructions instruct - begs the question!
