The first thing I do every morning after my ablutions is check my gmail. I went to do it just like usual this morning only to discover that my account has been temporarily suspended and I have no idea why.
Google said to respond to their notice and they’d text me a code to get going again.
That would be just dandy, but Doug has my phone. His cellphone committed hari-kari last week and the replacement from T-Mobil hasn’t arrived by mail yet. So here I sit without my phone.
We got rid of our land line 2 years ago. So I’m in a fix.
And, since we’re still looking for a car for Doug, he has my car.
Sooooo, here I am, phone-less, car-less in Houston- a city which for the most part doesn’t have a mass transit system. I am probably 4 miles from the closest bus stop-; and it’s a park and ride for commuters who want to go straight downtown.
Obviously, that would do me no good.
I am back in the dark ages. Well, not completely dark. I have cable and I have internet.
I just have no way to talk directly to anybody and it’s monsooning again outside- real Act of God type weather. So barring a life threatening situation I’m not going next door to borrow my neighbor’s phone. She’s at work anyway.
I feel like Tom Hanks in Cast Away, sans Wilson.
I do have my pack to talk to, so I guess that’ll just have to do til Doug gets back.
This is truly, a very strange feeling and one that I can state that I really don’t care for.
I just NOW saw your 3-hour-old msg on VN, so I called your phone and got voicemail. If it’s going to be Doug listening to my msg, I’m afraid he’s gonna wonder why I sound so confused. But at least I tried to get your phone home to you.
On the other hand, I was hoping I got voice-mail because YOU were on your phone. Any chance of that? (I wish to hell VN would let us know when we have a p.m. If you’d left a p.m. on facebook for me instead, I would’ve seen that a loooong time ago.)
As you know now, I was not on the phone. Thanks again for helping out today. I really appreciate it.
Screw Wilson – open the box!
My son’s gmail acct was temp suspended a few weeks back. They gave the reason as ‘suspicious activity’ – they reinstated it, but what a hassle. Guess that is better than hotmail… *had* 2 hm accts in 3 years get hacked. No longer use it.

That’s what they finally told me- “suspicious activity”. WTF is that?
I mean other than my usual emails arranging black market organ sales, selling infants and plutonium, nothing has been out of the ordinary.
Come on, now Michele, you know your activities are suspicious! I’ve always wondered if you were Russian spy, especially since you have such an affinity for deciphering that funny language with its backward Rs and such. Will I be seeing you doing the perp walk on CNN?
Not on CNN. On Law and Order, thank you very much.
