Her check engine light had come on and she thought that meant that the car was low on oil. She had no idea what that was so I felt like a Good Samaritan today. <\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t always turn out perfectly, however. I was helping another lady with another project that involved getting gift cards for her from Amazon. Amazon thought that me buying these hundreds of dollars of gift cards was unusual behavior and froze my account. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not zesty. So I had to redo all the passwords. Last year I went from a PC to a Mac environment. I would never go back to a PC. Mac set up a password and then talks to my iPhone and everything is on the same page now. It\u2019s a wonderful system when my laptop can talk to my phone. I&#8217;m still waiting from an email from Amazon to verify I can get the last gift card.  I may have to end up resetting the passwords again.  I have sent a total of 45 emails back and forth on this one project.  Sometimes it seems I&#8217;m too nice for my own good.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Something-Different\/Samaritan--Gardenia--4-18-20\/i-gwKhTmF\/0\/84d1716b\/M\/2020041821344965--7275516485231114952-IMG_5813-M.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I cleaned and refilled all of my bird baths today. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Something-Different\/Samaritan--Gardenia--4-18-20\/i-ncDjX2N\/0\/ea596d01\/M\/2020041821333756-4227464256600767443-IMG_7037-M.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also noticed a zipper cloud with sharp edges.
