Starting Thursday morning, March 21, my blog here will be deleted temporarily until some time Sonday, March 24th.
My brother and sister in law are arriving for a visit and staying with me.
My brother uses my computer when he comes to visit. He likes to mess around with my computer and check and change things on it. Thinks he is doing me a favor. Surprising me with new programs "he" thinks I would like. So, he is into everything on my computer.. Despite me telling him not to add or take off stuff.
That being said, in the past for my protection, I have cleared my history, cookies, bookmarks, passwords, etc. on my computer that are related to my journey and abuse before their arrival. It has been such a big hassle to reinstall everything after they leave every time. Ugh!
My main concern has always been my blog. As that is my life. Literally. I do not want any of my family to know about it.
I thought to make matters easier for me this time is just to have my blog temporarily deleted during their stay with me. In case he would click on a bookmark out of curiosity and stumble upon my blog.
So, I am forewarning any of you not to panic if you click on my blog during the four days they are here this week and it says it is deleted.
I will try and be back on line again by Sonday. Unless, I go Home to Glory. Which would not be a bad thing! Believe me!
Totally understand.
ReplyDeleteThat does sound like a lot of work! I hate you have to go through all that but I completely understand. I'll miss you those few days....get back SOON! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat would happen if you hid the battery (if a laptop) or his the cords (if a stationary computer)? Lock computer in car? ;-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you are protecting your precious writing my friend (even though it sounds like quite an effort!) :) Blessings and hugs as you spend time with your family; I hope you all have a wonderful time together!

Such a hassle and a panic to have. Praying for you during the stay of your brother.
ReplyDelete<><
Praying for you! And come back as soon as you can~
ReplyDeleteBless your heart having to take so many steps to protect your blog but that's understandable.
ReplyDeleteOh good! I was like "no why?!" :)
ReplyDeleteI will tell Daddy to put you on my heart in case you need prayers during your family visit!
Hugs ♥
I'll be praying for you extra during your brother's visit, Grace. I know how hard these visits are for you. Sending you a big hug!
ReplyDeleteI understand. Take care!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know! I know I would be extremely concerned if you disappeared unannounced!
ReplyDeleteSomething that I do: I don't want anyone to know about my blog either, so I actually use a different browser. I use Firefox for my "real" life and I use Safari for my NOS life. I don't have anything suspicious bookmarked (just gmail, blogger, facebook, twitter, etc.) but I sign out of all of my accounts every time I'm done using them, then I clear all of the history. It has worked great so far!
Be strong this weekend. You can do it!
Be well,
NOS
You guys are great! Thank you for understanding and your support!
ReplyDeletePraying for your strength JBR! God bless and protect you.
ReplyDeleteWill be praying for you while your away..HEDGE OF PROTECTION
ReplyDeleteFather, in the name of Jesus, we lift ourselves to You and pray a hedge a protection around us. We thank You, Father, that You are a wall of fire round about us and that You set Your angels about us.
We thank You, Father, that we dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. We say of You, Lord, You are our refuge and fortress, in You will we trust. You cover us with Your feathers, and under Your wings shall we trust. We shall not be afraid of the terror by night or the fiery dart that flies by day. Only with our eyes will we behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because we have made You, Lord, our refuge and fortress, no evil shall befall us – no accident will overtake us –neither shall any plague or calamity come near our home. For You give Your angels charge over us, to keep us in all Your ways.
Father, because You have set Your love upon us, therefore will You deliver us. We shall call upon You, and You will answer us. You will be with us in trouble, and will satisfy us with long life and show us Your salvation. Not a hair of our heads shall perish....prayed this prayer of protection for you...
I hate you must do that. However that is how it is with public blogs.... I will be praying, I did know a blog could be retrieved after deletion?
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know you could do that...great idea. Pray that God will stengthen you for this visit and that you will be able to set whatever boundaries the Lord gives you to lay out. Trusting for His guidance and your continued healing. Believing for great peace all weekend. Many blessings!
ReplyDeleteTotally understand what you're saying and where you're coming from ... and I look forward to your return!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good visit. I pray God will be with you all.
