Hi Sharon, I haven't posted here for a very long time. I am 1 year port-op and was down almost 80 lbs before getting pregnant. I have since gained almost 20 lbs back. I'm happy for you that you have decided to make this change in your life and hope you can find all the love and support you need here. Congratulations!! Brenda

I love it!! You are certainly a unique thinker. I love being a woman and being able to multi-task, but I say you have taken it to new heights. Congrats to you! Christy

I don't know how to do it, but i am pretty sure that EVERY email that is sent has an electronic file, a signature of sorts that includes the IP address that corresponds to the computer or internet account that the email was sent from. It wouldn't make any difference if you found out it was sent from a publicly accessed computer, but if it was from someone's home computer, well, that is another story. Any folks out there with a little more technical knowledge that could help out here? That totally bites that there are people out there with that much spare time on their hands to contrive such malicious things.

Someone hacked into my husband's e-mail account and was sending out threatning and hate e-mails. I received one of the hate e-mails. It looked legitimate from his e-mail account. I knew he didn't send it because he was at work and didn't have access to a computer. The only computer he has access to is mine and he hasn't used it for several months. This e-mail was so hateful toward our business competition. It threatened to do vandelism on this other business and to possibly "kill" one of the employees of this business. I knew immediately my husband hadn't sent it. I called him to confirm it. Later I received an e-mail from someone else giving me their condolences. This friend had received an e-mail that said we were selling our business and quitting. Someone had figured out my husband's password to his e-mail. When we opened up his e-mail, we could see that someone has been going in for weeks. (We looked in the trash file, the trash is emptied every day and the dates in the trash file confirmed that someone had been hacking into his e-mail for weeks). We immediately changed my husbands e-mail password. We were lucky that the person who hacked into his account didn't change the password. My husband would still be receiving e-mails but this phantom would be the one receiving it. It's kind of scary that someone would spend that much time in front of the computer to figure out what his password was. We turned everything in to the prosecuting attorney. We know they can't do anything about it but the law knows that if vandalism does occur, we are innocent of the damage. It can't be blamed on us. The worst part is, we are 99% sure of who hacked into the e-mail account. This was a man who has been my DH's best friend since high school. He also lives next door. He's alligned himself with our business competition and he knows my DH well enough to guess at what he would use for a password. The wording used in the e-mails and the way they were done is definately his immaturity and mentality. The only question is we don't know how many people have received these hate/threatening e-mails. Just had to vent. - Melody

Hi Sharon, Welcome to this forum. I'm so glad that Gala pointed you in this direction. I, too, went to Ricks College when it was Ricks. I didn't graduate. I attended for a year then came home and got married. I have a hard time remembering to call it BYU Idaho. I lived in Rupert when I went to Ricks and got married. I now live in another part of the state (Shoshone about 55 miles from Rupert). Your post was anything but long. Please continue to post. We'd love to get to know you better. I had my surgery 2 years ago. I've lost 142 lbs. It feels wonderful. People actually tell me I'm too thin. Imagine that. That was a term I didn't think would ever apply to me. Post often. We need to keep this board active. Melody
