I'm giving y'all a potential news scoop...
Here's the backstory: I had the drama with the tire blowing out on the interstate yesterday; today I picked up a new go-phone for my son and I got a really good deal on it, but whatevs. He is on his daddy and stepmom's phone plan and his stepmom set up a Google account for his phone. I try to log onto the account to get his phone all activated and his password won't work. I try the password recovery options but my email address and phone # aren't associated with his email account. I ended up creating a new account.

But here's what the story might be:
"I am *this* close to ending up in a news story about "mild-mannered Hoover woman loses it over a cell phone. Authorities say that she seemed to be speaking in tongues, but curse words and mentions of trouble setting up a new phone were peppered throughout her tirade. Everyone in her home is safe but there are pieces of broken cell phone scattered throughout the home and it appears that she beat it to pieces with a hammer. She is not considered to be a threat to others, just angry about cell phones. She will not be taken into custody and has been advised to consult an IT person for future cell phone problems".
I think the bigger news story would be
"Local boy willingly gives him mom his password"

If you haven't looked into it, Panda Crazy has a really great tab feature that really lets you organize your watchers/pandas. The script looks more complicated at first but it is really versatile.

I know losing that info can seem like a big pain but you'll rebuild. It's happened to most of us one way or another.
I started setting up Panda Crazy a few weeks ago, but I found it confusing. I figured it took me 5 months to learn the tweaks on HM, and I went back to it.

I'm totally disgusted, and I don't know how to get TM to accept the backup. Maybe someone out there...

Here's the problem. the backup isn't word-wrapped when I copy it, but it is when I paste it into the TM box. So TM is word-wrapping it, then telling me it shouldn't be word-wrapped. I had over 100 pandas in there, and I would turn off the batches that aren't out there and reactivate others, depending on TurkAlert. Plus all those $5-16 hits today.

I left a note at GreasyFork for the developer. ha

Is anybody doing the "Report what a rare foreign language sounds like." Hits?

I've done like 10 but I'm afraid of rejections
