One Step at a Time -February 2015

I get it, Dottie. My dad did the same thing to us when he died...we couldn't find a lot of stuff. His sister will help you sort it out.

Dottie, Keep a notebook handy so you can write things down as you think of them- ie call bank etc. Whatever, at least this way you'll have something you can go back to. Any money spent will be documented on a statement of some kind- bank, credit card, investment etc. Maybe hubs kept some records on the computer. ps When in doubt, google, or vet the topic on Facebook. I have gotten answers and valuable feedback this way. Also, look to your tax returns from last year. This may offer clues as well.

also:

For Windows Password, there are two main methods to solve the windows password problem as follows:

1st Method:
Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys twice and it'll show Classic Login box. Now type \Administrator\ (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank. Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.
Now you can reset your account password from \Control Panel - User Accounts\.
Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen.

2th Method:
Windows password Recovery software:
for example:Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 . It is easy and convenient to use.

Dottie, you will get thru using the very same skills we learned right here....one step at a time, one day at a time. Love you, B

[Dottie Belle]

Byrd I am just to empty right now I dont know how to put one foot in front of the other....

[Rusty]

Dottie, you are probably overloaded with well meaning advice. Don't worry about taking one step right now, just sit and have a cup of herbal tea or a nice long soak in a bubble bath.

[NoraC]

Dottie - Rusty is right - please know that you are loved and we all are here for you....... but, take care of yourself right now. Try to get some sleep.....hug your fur babies..... do what YOU need to do right now. We are here with open arms...

[Dottie Belle]

I was happier than I have even been in my life and now I am the saddest I have ever been...WHY?????????????

Wish we had the answers Dottie. God needed another angel! He may not be with you physically, but he will always be with you!
