It's RAINING!!

I'm in the SF Bay Area-- ecstatic!!

Is anyone else getting message "no connection" trying to access YouTube?

This has been going on for a few days and I can't figure out why. (Only when using my iPhone)

I just received my SS payment-- it was over $10k and I don't know why

When I checked my account, it said it was "a one time payment"

Anyone else get this??

For some reason, I cannot sign into my SS account

When I log in (or attempt to) it seems to be stuck on this page:
==================================================

api.id.me
Verifying you are human. This may take a few seconds.
(the disk spins and nothing happens)

and the last line reads:
api.id.me needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.

Anyone else have this problem?

Lately, when I bring up Google on my iphone, I get this message:

About this page

This network is blocked due to unaddressed abuse complaints about malicious behavior. This page checks to see if it's really a human sending the requests and not a robot coming from this network.
======================


Has this happened to anyone else? Is there something I need to do?

Thanks in advance!

Help!! I mislaid my iphone-- it's definitely in my house but I can't find it.

Is there a way I can locate it (electronically)?

Earthquake insurance??

I was wondering if I ought to take out earthquake insurance. I live in the SF Bay Area. How are you Californian DU-ers dealing with this? I've read it's absolutely necessary and I've read it's not really.

Opinions?

I'm trying to identify this mystery plant-- it's poisonous and that's all I know. Help!!



I live in Northern California, if that's any help.

Also, this plant has little pink flowers (normally)
