I've been in my own boat sitting out in this water looking at this view. Awesome!-Sandee. This is a Tip of The Hat to Sandee, my Co-Author and blog wizard.

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.

If this had happend to you,I'm sorry.

to every one. some BOZZO had mananged to breach my GMAIL ACCOUNT and has been sending spam in my name.If you have recieved any of this garbage I'm sorry that it has happened. I reported this to GOOGLE.I have made some changes in my password and hopefully some of the damange has been contained.

this being said,I have lost one of my followers I hope that I do not lose the rest.

I have mananged to shut down one of the breached accounts and the second one will be shut down as well as soon as I can save my contact list of the GMAIL account.

this has caused me pain and I've become very depressed and sick over this.

  5. I was just on live chat with Verizon yesterday because I am getting spam mail from myself. Or rather someone using my email addy to send pharmacy adds. They said it's happening to others and their engineers are working on the problem. They gave me an email to attached the spam to. I haven't had anyone tell me they are getting spam from me though. So far it just seems to be coming TO ME.
    Hang in there. The internet is a wonderful thing, but it has it's glitches.

    I noticed your Shelfari this time. You sure like action adventure books!
    Happy reading! :)

  6. Hopefully this will work itself out shortly. I'm very sorry that it happened to you. There must be something in gmail that is easy for them to get around. Don't know.

    Have a great day Mike. Big hug. :)

  9. Very scary. I have worried that someone could do this to my blogger account.

    I think I will beef up my password. Thanks for the heads up, and I am really sorry to hear about this. Must be a nightmare.

    Once a widget started sending POP UPs to my blog. Not very good ones either. Be careful with widgets, and I usually change the code in them to NEVER allow access.

    HOpe things work out my friend.

  12. This is very unfortunate. It's a shame members in our society, who apparently have WAY too much time on their hands, resort to things like this instead of doing something useful.

  13. Jennifer,I'm getting over it.and Yes that idiot will not win I will.

    I.C. I agree,there is not enough time in a day for me to do something as childishand or foolish.

  14. The spammer doesn't necessarily have to breach your account to send out e-mails that look like they're coming from your account. They can spoof your address using any one of dozens of applications that make that possible. Someone who receives the e-mail needs to forward one of the to spam@google.com (I think it is) and they can read the header information to see where they are really coming from.

    I'm sorry this happened to you, but I'm even more sorry that one of your regulars would assume your were responsible without checking with you.
