Duh Christine

 So I opted to upgrade to a new Walmart credit card offering more perks, with no annual fee.  It promised a smooth transition to the new card and it was.  So I login to my online account to update it with the new card information but it didn't seem to allow me to make edits.  So I call customer service to get help.  She said my card had already been updated and so it had!  I was trying to update it without realizing it was already my new card number! Duh Christine.  I am pretty sure it was the same voice that helped me last month with another 'duh' moment.

Another thing I have to watch out for are fake videos before I go sharing them. If it seems too good to be true it probably is.  There is a fake Chinese glass ad that claims it was their glass that couldn't be smashed in that France Louis Vuitton store. Luckily my sister alerted me to that.

There's so much fake stuff out there that we really have to be careful. And if something comes to you from a friend promising something, you really need to text them and ask if they sent it. It's happened to me twice so far where my friends' computer address book got hacked.

With trendy AI, I really question most videos and photos I see online.

I read you. I have one and Ingo and I have one together for "house-stuff", but both carry my full name, so.... oh, and I have a third one for overseas. Gahhhh.....

Knowing what is real is difficult these days.

It's a sad state of affairs, but you truly can't trust anything out there in the land of AI. Blessings, Christine!

There's something wrong with your header picture btw. It is gigantic.

Learned years ago, that if it seems amazing and too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true

It’s so frustrating with AI because you can’t believe anything you see now.

I've a number of oh, duh moments myself lately. I figure they are a warning that I'm trying to do too much and need to slow down.
