Sadly Dad will take over the big TV upstairs and if I want to watch it on the downstairs big TV, I have to jerryrigging the laptop to it. Plus you haven't seen my bathtub... it's a nice big soaking tub. 🤣

It needs to be watched on the big screen. Toss him out to Shady Pines and do what you have to do to watch it on the big screen!!!!!!!!!!
It seems I'm right this is an episode that should be watched 3 times to catch every little thing. Do not look away even for a second

Beware of PayPal email phishing. I just had two saying I had a $560 charge on mine. Report it to PayPal and delete from your email. Stupid scammers. 😡

I had a PayPal scam like that a couple weeks ago and deleted it. The stupid morons on that same email CC'd everyone how they were going to call the police and why did I get this email and yada yada ya.

Been getting these by the hundreds lately. But of different products.
These are very well known scams in the IT circles (videos on youtube) where Indian callcenters send those mass emails claiming you purchased Norton or other digital products and they put a fake US phone (soft phone that leads to India) to "cancel".

And the modus operandi is very similar.
They want you to connect to their PC via computersharing/remote desk and enter your account to "cancel".

Then they steal from 500 to 10,000 USD from your bank directly.
Of course, they will claim they did a charge by mistake and ask you to do another remote session to "fix" the error. And will steal even more before blocking your phone.

They target mostly elderly people.



For those here..
Always.. always check the FROM and TO and REPLY TO headers of the email itself.

Most can always say a name like "From Norton Support" but the FROM email comes like norton@somerandomservernotrelatedtonorton.com"
Or they have a strange reply to that makes no sense (aka they want the reply to go to a different completely separate email address not related to norton).


The easiest giveaway is when they use the email name instead of your real name.
Every business will use your REAL NAME as registered in their services.

Example of legit email

"Hello Cesar XXX,"


Bogus emails are :

"Hello Tamalero," (they took it from my tamalero@gmail.com address).

This gives me joy.




On the other hand, its interesting how indian calls centers now took over as the primary sources of scams. It used to be Jamaican call centers.
I remember that they even went to the point of murdering each other for their contacts lists of prey. (It was on the news around a few years ago).

But yes, infuriating that they target elderly mostly.

I got my aunt hooked on Only Murders when I was down in SC. It's her favorite show now. She binged the entire second season in a day. 🤣 I'm like, ah yes, I have caused someone to be addicted to a TV show. All I ever wanted out of my life. 🤣
