Good morning!!!!

Any of you folks use Paypal? I got an email from them today to let me know that Facebook was now linked to my Paypal account to allow automatic payments. I didn't know any businesses were linked to that account in such a way! Fortunately, the email also gave instructions for managing that link, and I was able to go in and find that not just Facebook, but Ebay and a couple of others were. I deactivated all of them, then went through the rest of the security settings and turned off a few other things that I saw as security weaknesses and was able to deactivate. They were found under the gear wheel icon at the top of the Paypal page, after logging in, under various tabs. Sheesh, the nerve of these companies!

I have not used Paypal for years. They "locked" my account at one point and could not explain why.

I use Paypal maybe once or twice a year. Guess I need to go in and check my settings as well. Thanks for the heads-up, RNG.

I used Paypal ONE TIME; and by the time they got their act together and their mistakes straightened out, I knew that I would NEVER have anything to do with that outfit again.

Those with Tinnitus:

One cause for some will be the side effects of drugs. here is a list:
Prescriptions & Medications That Can Cause Tinnitus | Arches

Next, if side effect can be ruled out then there is no cure but it can be reduced by "mindfulness".

My favorite guys, Bob and Brad review it here - evidence and research based-

They also recommend this site in their short youtube:

Hope this helps.

Tried some new jackfruit tacos for lunch today. Wow, there were great!
The taco shells (were air fried) and filling - "jackfruit meat" have absolutely no oils or fat added.
Also Plant Based so no cholesterol.

Found the box of pre cut and marinated jackfruit at HEB grocery store.

Checking In:

We and our friends had a great time at the Red Lion Inn (est. 1773) yesterday. Last Winter we hung out in the hotel's jacuzzi during a snowstorm. Last night the jacuzzi did not seem so appealing in the rain. I recently discovered that there is a haunted room there and the ghost apparently has a foot or toe fetish. Brogen got sprung from the doggie gulag after we toured a nearby botanical garden this AM. The Tundra needs some cleaning again. Those dryer sheets actually help with the dog smell if left under the front seats.

Ron and Betty you are often in my thoughts and prayers.

I used PayPal for almost all my (numerous) drone related purchases and never had any real issues with them. Their customer services department actually helped me get refunds on several occasions. I have not used them in a while; I should check my settings. Thanks for the reminder.

Drew- I am sorry to read about your ongoing tinnitus challenges, past ineffective treatments, and differing opinions as how to treat.

Now I always have "Spring Peepers A Peeping" in the background. I've been on and am still taking a couple of those listed meds and I have had a couple of knocks to the noggin which probably has not helped.

Don- Thanks for the links. I've been working on "Living in the Moment" and "Mindfulness" for many years; I am still working on it; and I'll probably still be working on it till I am history. It's not easy.

+ thoughts, wishes, and prayers.

I’ve had tinnitus since I started aspirin therapy 20 years ago. Sometimes it gets really loud, but unless I’m conscience of it, I usually ignore it.

PayPal has been ok for me over the years. The only real mistake they ever made was about 4 years ago at Christmas they gave me a 55 “ TV.
I ordered it from Walmart and used PayPal online, with store pickup. So in about an hour I got an email from Walmart telling me the TV was ready for pickup. And I got an email from PayPal that their system was backed up but go ahead and pick up the TV since it was December 23, and I’d have it for Christmas. I went and got it, hung it a couple of days later, started checking my PayPal and the TV hadn’t showed up. Well I called them after several emails got me nowhere. They asked for transaction number, I didn’t have one because it hadn’t gone through when I got the TV. I kept going in circles over the next month or so and finally I just quit and said thank you.
