Here are the Top Videos from Alexandria Menzies’ University Graduation from Maryland Washington last week. She finished classes in 2024, but she they let her walk across the stage this month in May 2025. People gave me a lot of crap for going out to wild concerts as a young woman, but if I did not love music a brainy University graduate would never have been born.

Happy National Bike Month! Some day in the next year I will upgrade back to an electric bike. For now I am using non-electrical. To celebrate I am watching Murder She Wrote streaming on the Roku channel because she is on a bicycle so much I am starting to think it was sponsored by bicycle manufacturing. It suggests that is how you survive to become an attractive older woman by being on a bicycle all the time. My review is the show is hilarious.

I am at a graduation pre-party for Alexandria Menzies in Fredericksburg, VA today. We went to Cracker Barrel and Quality Inn. Cracker Barrel is really giving away free onion fries if you download the app and start an account at dinner. We ate some, and it was great.

I got hacked this week, and can’t be reached well. Turns out there’s things called RAT viruses called Remote Access Trojan computer viruses. It is why you don’t want to click on strange e-mail links, and strange text messages links, but also they can do Remote Access over the phone in a call as well. Thanks to all the people who called, and mailed me many repair fix ideas. Unfortunately revoking access, reinstalled Windows, and returns to default settings all did not work, my computer is still crashed, and I am going to be offline on my computer a bit. The scammers are evil at making scams seem realistic, and faked being trusted workers at my school. I will never trust workers claiming to be my school again no matter how trustworthy they claim to be as some of them are disgruntled human sewage. I will change all my passwords this week in addition.
*Note it was not fake workers pretending to be University of Phoenix. It was their real workers, called from their real hotline on their real logged in website that gained remote access, and put 15 spyware viruses on my computer crashing it which virus protection had marked clean right before the call.

A University of Phoenix worker crashed my computer yesterday. Any recommendations on how to get control back? A female in the financial department demanded to have remote control over my computer. There was no task that remote control was needed for in her directions for signing online student loan papers so it seemed odd to me. I have taken University computer use classes in Louisiana where the teacher said never give remote control of your computer to a help desk caller it will crash your computer. Yet I wanted my loans signed fast so I stupidly agreed. Bam, the computer crashed right after the call. It never worked again. It was working perfectly before the call. I had a paper due that night and had to write it on Google documents on my phone. Often I use the library computers 2 miles from my house for home work what if she had crashed a government library computer? A word of advice to anyone online reading this people working at phone help support desks are often petty and vengeful; they will try to crash people’s computers remotely, and you should never agree to remote control. Not only do I use my computer for school, but also I use it to get jobs at work. Luckily I had several relatives agree to loan me an extra computer, and the library nearby can transfer text from my tablet and phone into Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents. How do I get it working again the computer was new?

My friend from school Eugene finally went home after having a good visit. It is really strange seeing friends you made in your school years later in life.

One of my favorite friends Eugene who is Zorak303 on Instagram visited from out of town this weekend. We went to see Magdalena Bay at the National, and lines were wrapped around the block. Then we went to the famous taco restaurant Gwar Bar nearby, and talked about New Orleans in modern day. Eugene and I hung out after a Gwar show at House of Blues when I lived in New Orleans so history came full circle at that moment. I was really stressed out about going back to get a Master’s degree at night school, and so I was really happy to have a friend visit cheer me up. Here are some highlights from the show. My review is the band is great!
*Note I never go out in Richmond anymore because of the many non-stop horrible experiences I have had there and exclusively go out in Maryland. For Eugene I made the very rare exception.
