passwords

I strongly dislike computer passwords. I admit--I have no memory so I cannot retain the key words..b/c everything you sign on needs a different combo..with numbers, without numbers, 6 letters, case sensitive--rules-rules -rules. And I do not trust the box that asks that the computer remember your password. What's the secret then???
I tried filing my passwords in a small phone directory...but of course I don't remember where that LITTLE book is. Or if I write the words on that important paper, I don't remember where I filed that paper. How many times can I check the 'forgot password' box-then I need to create yet another combo of my favorite word.
Can you feel my frustration? Is it really the words or the password to my memory?

green grass

I admit--sometimes the kids & sports were a buffer from the spouse. On the weekend I could escape by doing 'chores'. Now, not so easy. D. is willing to go anywhere with me -the market, shopping for a new faucet, clothes..you name it. Even when we are snapping at each other, he wants to be by my side. I do say, sometimes it can be a bit close.
I know, the grass is always greener on the other side. And don't get me wrong..I don't want to trade may lawn for another--but I would not mind a fence.
