Internet Safety

I am very uncomfortable with paying bills online. Many people I know do this without a thought. On a few occasions, I have ordered online and paid a few bills, but basically still rely on Uncle Sam to deliver my check payments. A few years ago, someone used my credit card to make online purchases. I'm not sure if this happened from using my card at a restaurant, or by using it online. Thank goodness the merchant called me at work to inquire if I made the purchases online the night before. When I told them I did not, they told me to call my bank and change all my cards, etc. Since that time, I am shy about making payments, etc. on the internet. At restaurants I still use my credit card, but not my debit card to protect myself.

To know we should be careful about what we put out there should be easy, but the more comfortable one becomes, the easier to become careless. The hardest thing to realize is that it is out there for anyone to see.

The tutorial was uplifting. To Laugh ---hmmm if we could go through life laughing more easily, it certainly would make life less challenging. I'm easily motivated, however, to remain postive and to stay on track will be difficult for me.
