Does anyone use VPN's ?

Do any of you all use VPN's (Virtual Private Networks)?  I have been hearing more and more about them but not sure if to jump on the bandwagon.  I spend a lot of time on public wi-fi (doctors offices, hospitals, motels, fast food establishments) and I certainly do not want to get hacked!

Found a website that compares some top VPN's and they use terms that I have never heard before like Unlimited P2P / Torrenting or Torrent Anonymously. Guess I need to do some more research. https://www.vpnmentor.com/best-vpn-in-usa/?tm=1&keyword=best%20vpn%20software&geo=9028337&device=&keyword=best%20vpn%20software&campaignID=1337988682&matchtype=e&adg

My ISP is Spectrum and they provide their users with free McAfee Anti-virus protection but lately have been pushing another feature which name escapes me at the moment McAfee Safe Connect as well as TunnelBear Secure VPN service.  When did using the Internet get so complicated?

Since it is morning can not wish you a good night and Terlingua Dreams.  So have a great day instead!

A welcome taste of Autumn

Woke up at 4:45 a.m. to heavy rain pounding my bedroom window and some strong winds.  As much as I wanted to continue my Terlingua Dreams had to get up to check the kitchen for leaks before they became my Del Rio nightmare.

I guess I got up too quick and my head started spinning...darn it all...just when I thought my problems with Vertigo were a thing of the past! On the positive side, it only lasted for a little while.

So glad to report that there were no leaks.  Opened the door to let some fresh air in and it was actually a little cool, it felt wonderful even though it will only last for two days.

This month I have to go get my labs done and then go see the doctor so I am being really really good and sticking to my diet.  Just as I was going to fix me some horrible oatmeal which I had just opened yesterday, I noticed black ants inside the packaging....grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

It's funny because I had just commented on Gypsy's blog how I had gotten rid of my ants and all of a sudden they decided to show up.  Did they come in for comfort food and to get away from the cool temperatures?  Guess I will put it out for our neighbor's free-range hens who frequent Mom's property.

While I am currently happy with Spectrum through whom I have TV, Internet, and telephone service I had no idea that when they ported my mother's telephone number it would do away with her name and be in mine.

A new low was reached today...home flippers are calling the house now that the telephone is in my name.  I do not know why but I thought they would somehow slow down after Harvey...guess not :-(

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
