Lana,thank you so much for posting.I just couldn't come here before tonight. Jim came through the surgery like the trooper that he is.He is home already.They kept him for a few hours then let him come home.He says that he can feel the difference in both legs already.The doctor was pleased how well it went and how well he is responding.Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers.You know how much I believe in and count on prayers. I know that a lot of you know the pain that we are feeling with our loss of Sandy. I am just thankful that she was not home alone while she was leaving us.She gave us 14 wonderful years and she is now at rest.

Making up a phone number when creating your email account is not a good idea since they use that number to contact you should there be an attack on your account or if you lost your info and they needed to resend it to you, they would be sending it to a phone number you can not reach to get that info and it could be someones actual phone number and they would be the one that got your critical information. You can instead give an alternate email address that is real where they can send you that information. I had that very thing happen recently with my gmail account, I accessed my account from an unknown, to them, device from a different state and it sent out an alert wanting to know if it was really me or if someone was trying to access my account. It was sent to my other email address that I provided, I was able to simply let them know it was me and it was a device I would be using. Had I provided my phone number they would have put out an automated call or text stating the same thing. There is an option to just skip that page and go on. Not everyone has a cell phone. Not everyone has texting. I believe that you can put in the phone number and request a call not text, then when you go into your account settings you can go in and remove the phone number, if it was set for text that option is not available or that is how it has been in the past for gmail. I set up a new yahoo account not long ago for one of my neighbors and was able to do so with out a cellphone because she does not have a cell phone. Yahoo has however been making so many changes and many are not for the better so it could have changed. So many people have left yahoo due to some of these changes.

Happy birthday to you too Deamn!! List your birthday over at Joann_fl's website so we can include you in the post next year!

Glad I came here now to read the KT threads. It's almost 1:30 now so I can add my prayers for a successful surgery, and an excellent recovery. Shirley
