Sound advice from Norton. I run Norton Internet Security on all my laptops.It’s good stuff. Here are their Four Golden Rules:
1. Never open an unexpected attachment in your email. Whether it appears to be from a friend or business, or promises something “scandalous,” it may be a virus. This is a common trick by cybercriminals.
2. Ensure your security software is fully up to date. Out-of-date security is useless against new threats. To make sure you’re fully covered, run full scans of all your computers regularly.
3. Change your passwords every 3 months. This helps prevent others from accessing your accounts. Identity Safe from Norton can help you manage passwords. Did we mention it’s completely free?
4. Back up your stuff. Always. Your main hard drive could fail unexpectedly. Always have at least one full backup of your files, if not two. External USB drives are inexpensive now.

Getting To Heaven (Irish Version) An Irish Sunday School Teacher is testing children to see if they understood the concept of getting to heaven.
‘I asked them, ‘If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into heaven?’
‘NO!’ the children answered.
‘If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the garden, and kept everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?’
Again, the answer was ‘NO!’
‘If I gave sweets to all the children, and loved my husband, would that get me into heaven?’
Again, they all answered ‘NO!’
I was just bursting with pride for them.
I continued,’Then how can I get into heaven?’
A little boy shouted out: ‘YUV GOTTA BE FOOKN’ DEAD.

Trump ‘propaganda’ that is true, is called fact. Perhaps you choose to embrace the lawlessness of this criminal President in regards to illegal immigration, but real citizen Patriots are against it.
