Facebook Photo Verification at log-in

If you've just attempted to log into facebook and discovered you can't log in or have been logged out and are now being asked to verify names to pictures, don't worry you're not the first to experience this.

I had this myself one day after returning home from work a number of weeks ago. When I got back online I asked if anyone had experienced this but there were no replies that gave confirmation. 
Weeks later a friend has just experienced the same thing so I just googled it and apparently it is a security protocol of facebooks, though they fail to warn you or anyone its going to happen.

What you are faced with is 5 photos to verify (match to the correct name) all well and good but if your friends change photos regularly to photo's which do not depict their face you could be screwed. In fact on googling you get 2 skips per photo. 
There are online suggestions for bypassing this, again all well and good if you are for-warned.

Whilst this is happening your account is disabled and will become unaccessable so all you can do is run random names against google images or hope facebook does adhere to their rule for this protocol of using only those who have spoken to you regularly. 

Why they are doing this I haven't yet found out, but it is quite worrying when it happens if you do not know about it. It also doesn't appear to be a new thing since there are google posts a year old.

Other Signs and shiz

Hey Kittens

I spoke to you yesterday about numerological signs and since posting that blog I have been inundated by the number 11 again.
However there are other signs you must not ignore like a song being heard a thousand times, ok maybe not a thousand but more than three times in one day!

My signs today after constant 11s again.
I find a photograph of mine posted on a ladies Facebook page.
When I orginally posted the image she liked it and asked me if I minded her drawing it. Of course not I said. 
Then today I see my picture having been posted with the incorrect location and not hide nor hair of my name just that this image had been picked by another lady in her friends as one they should draw this month of March.
Whilst it is so nice that people liked the image so much and will be drawing it, it does kinda miff one off that their image was used in this manner without prior permission, acknowledgement and the incorrect info being stated.

Please people when you see a photograph or writing consider the creator first, you could be breaking all sorts of copyright laws!

I have sent a message and posted on the image and am awaiting her response. 

My 2nd sign for today was from a man for whom I reviewed his books a few years ago.
It has been some time since I have reviewed and a lot has happened and changed in my life since I last wrote one.
This review however isn't for a book, but in fact the script of a book I'd already reviewed. 
This is somewhat BIG to me because its my first script and could push me back into reviewing again.
I gave up reviewing because it took over so much of much time that I had no time for the writings and other interests I had, and I wasn't a paid reviewer. 
I still get every now and again an email from an author asking for me to review their book.  
But, I am going to do this and see what happens and how I feel about it.

Today seems to be a day of the universe trying to tell me I was good at reviewing and people liked it and that people like my photographs.

Watch this space lol and keep your eyes peeled for numerous signs from the cosmos.
