• Delving deeper into my birthday hacking present I discovered that although my email contacts were missing, where I once had over 600 email contacts, I now had exactly none. How do you deal with "none"?
• I now do not know who my friends really are. Their addresses are gone. How do I contact them?
• I am beginning to think this birthday hacking present is not all it is hacked up to be.
• Now, my post birthday activity will be salvaging all of those email contacts. I suppose it is good every once in a while to start over again. I guess there is something good about getting a fresh start in life. I have often thought of it myself but never in this context.
• I would like to know who my birthday benefactor really is. I would like the opportunity to properly and fully acknowledge and express to this person my true feelings about him face-to-face, and not on Facebook. After all, "thank you" does not always say it.
• I think I now appreciate Joseph's feelings towards his brothers who caused him so much trouble.
• "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive" (Genesis 50:20 KJV).
• I am still looking for the good in this situation. For one, I am not stranded in the Philippines without any money. I am at home without money, but that is a different story. Although he hacked my email account, he did not touch my soul.
• A rumor can never hurt you if you really know the truth.
