Well, carole king asked via facebook, is this dash lane that facebook is advertising safe . It remembers passwords. Well, its as safe as anything youre putting it in cloud. We all know about cloud storage. These Password Managers and there is a bunch of them out there, what they do is they take your password and then they encrypt it and double encrypt it and they try to make it all but impossible. So its probably as safe as anything out there. But we all have so many passwords now, i was asking around on my staff and i dont use one. I think everyone else does. Or a lot of people do. And its some sort of password it remembers all your pass boards for you. So it encrypts them, puts you in the cloud so it remembers what your password is. I remain paranoid. I can see that. Liza asks can my Credit Card Company refuse to take off a clar charge on my bill that i dont recognize. Just because you dont recognize it doesnt mean you didnt do it. So what you need to do is call up the company, there is a phone number right on your bill, ask them what the charge is for. If they dont give and you proper answer, one that you know to be true, then you call up your Credit Card Company and say i did not make this charge. Now they have to take it off. It isnt you going im not sure if i made it. Youre saying definitively i didnt make it. Then they have to take it off, they cant charge you for it. And they have 30 days to figure out did you make the charge or not. And they have to rule one way or the other. Okay. Good to know. Thank you, michael.
