There it states:

'WARNING! READ: "The biggest network security vulnerability in history was revealed in the last 24 hours. It's called "heartbleed." Everything you do for the next 24-48 hours will be viewable by random 3rd parties. Encrypted connections are not secure until this vulnerability is fixed. Billions will be affected. DO NOT LOG in to anything. DO NOT change any passwords. DO NOT say or do anything online that you would not want anonymous 3rd parties observing or copying. (This came from a reliable source in my family; he said it was okay to write on fb... or to read email from known sources as long as you observe the above "do nots.") Don't buy anything online today! Don't log into your bank account, etc. '

Be Well

"Wabi-sabi nurtures the authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."

Don't ever give up hope, expect a miracle, pray as if you were going to die the next moment in time, but live life as if you were going to live forever."

A wise man once said, "Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present."

"Eggs are so inadequate, don't you think?  I mean, they ought to be able to become anything, but instead you always get a chicken.  Or a duck.  Or whatever they're programmed to be.  You never get anything interesting, like regret, or the middle of last week."

No mention of any security patch required for any Operating System for users.

Any it figures this was found just as Microsoft dropped all support for XP.  Got to be THE most used OS on the planet.  Most every business I know has their systems all built around XP.
