Why can others be me but not me?

Hey guys, It´s been 3 years since my last post. I have been figuring out in my head for months how to do this because the normal way isn´t working anymore and META keeps changing their security methods to the point that maybe soon, a human sacrifice might be needed. If it was that easy, I’d consider it. What happened? Until December 16th 2022i had 2 Facebook accounts. The main one I´ve had since 2006 where I posted almost daily on my profile and in few group where I administrated 2 of them. I had 2 pages that i created. 1 was for my modest baking business and the other was a fitness and wellbeing page . Lately I Had been posting live streams to help me with public speaking which i have struggled with since childhood due to bullying and possible undiagnosed ADHD. It was coming up to the 1 year anniversary of Singer Carlos Marin´s passing . Just 3 days away and to celebrate his life, we were making a collaboration to bring a floral arrangement and on Tuesday 20th of December, His mother was having first ever signing for her new book. I was also getting my 6th tattoo. All these things were going to be highlighted from my main Facebook account. However on Decemeber 16th I was on my way to work and as i was travelling on the Metro, i decided to add a post to the 2 groups that i help administrate dedicated to Carlos Marin, It was a photo of Carlos with Italian operatic trio Il Volo. Well just Piero and Gian Luca. Then I got a notification from Facebook via Gmail asking me if i had logged in from an area in Madrid that I did not recognise I answered “Hell no!” Big mistake. I thought change my password like last month, get a code via email and I’ll be ready to go.it Wasn’t the first time it happened. Back in 2018, someone had tried to log in from Denver, Colorado. I had no issues getting back in. Only I was told my 6 digit code would be sent via SMS. Didn´t happen. Not only could I not access my account via my phone or a browser, I couldn’t access it through my laptop either. And I tried with my Partner´s laptop and that also failed. Since then I´ve tried everything i can to get in. Even using my ID to verify my account. Except 2 things the 6 digit code that never arrives or the six digit code from the Code Generator from my Facebook account which I don´t remember setting up. It´s more likely that I never did set it up and I was hacked. My friend already had a suspicion. The same dude that hacked her late brother´s account, his business account and tried hacking into her and her daughter´s account and reported her mother´s . Seemed possible. Why me though? What threat would I cause to a professional hacker? Why would he want my account. My best friend suspects that it´s invidious people who seem to take issue with who I am and my experiences but the only people i know who take issue do not have the technological capcity and intelligence to hack into an account. Someone suggested the father of my 2 daughters with the help of his IT savvy brother but I doubt my brother in Law would be that deceitful and besides sooner or later, I’d find out from his wife. I didn´t go to him for help in getting my account back and I was hoping that Facebook would resolve this. Didn´t happen yet. Luckily I had my second account to fall back on. I thought I´d be using it for a few days but it´s almost been 6 months and I’m really starting to get annoyed because Facebook has no problem in letting other people use my identity to create an account to harass me , use my pictures and then create a friend list I times bigger than mine. No one bats an eyelid that someone with my name lives in South America . But the real me, can´t get back into my first account which they ask for the 2 things that i can´t produce because of above stated. However i am still getting updated through Gmail, of my friends on my profile posting this and that and getting friend suggestions. My original account is also linked with my Instagram and Tic Toc which i can Access. I have a couple of accounts that i can´t get into due to not being able to get into my account and I’ve had to create a new business page . I´ve had the worst Christmas because my stress levels went through the roof and I cried all week at the thought of my account being out of my control. For now. But just like the Brits during the Blitz in World War II, I decided that I needed to carry on and just like my friend told me., “Always move forward without looking back!” I have no doubt that I will get my account back. But I won´t be silent and i will make continue make noise about this because i am not the only one who has been screwed over by META´s security settings but I hope we can shed light to this unfair continuous change of security methods. Meanwhile I will continue to be me.

Where have I been these last 3 years.

Namaste guys, what's shaking? It's been a while since my last post. The last time I blogged, I was getting really annoyed about family making suggestions of whatnames to call my unborn baby back in 2017, that I was really thinking about putting "father unknown" on the birth certificate if significant other even suggested any of the names, including the ones he chose. Anyway it worked out in the end. I had another healthy little girl who just started putting sentences together whether they make sense or not. So why the new blog? Because it's about time I start reaching out to more people on a wider scale with things I know, things I've learned, things I'm still learning. My likes, dislikes , things that mean a lot to me. Now that we've got time to spare, I'll be here quite alot, just trying to make the world a better place. Stay tuned. #besogoodtheycantignoreyou #noexcuses #nobullshit #determination #stronger

Bargain hunting and free stuff, Surviving financial struggles by being resourceful.

When I was a kid, you wouldn't be seen dead walking into a local charity shop to look for clothing because you'd get made fun of. I didn't understand why my classmates who were probably in the same economic class as me would make fun of me when I admitted that sometimes we'd go to Oxfam. These days with the financial crisis going on, everyone is out for a bargain whether it's in a thrift store or online apps like Ebay or Ali Express. I do it regularly. As I'm a grown assed adult, I don't care what people think of my methods. I've found some interesting stuff in Thrift stores! Half a dozen Barbies , dresses and cardigans. Clothes are expensive, I have 2 kids and most of the money make goes into their clothes, Bill's rent,food and stuff! I'm lucky if I get something for me. I've found some cute things on second hand sites and apps like desigual dresses not not just for me but for my kids as well. But that's not the only place I look....
