How to receive frequent updates on Larry Humm’s recuperation:
It was evident from questions asked at last Sunday’s service that not all of us are using the website Caring Bridge to receive frequent updates on Larry.
If you are not receiving notifications in your email and would like to receive Dottie’s typically daily reports, here is what to do.
Go to caringbridge.org. Join the site. Your user name is your email address, and you will create a password. Once you are a member, go to the address: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/larryhumm . You will be asked for your user name (email address) and password. You will be directed to Larry’s private account. It will ask for his password, which is “skipal” (lower case). This will take you to the posts Dottie put up.
Dottie has received “help” messages from some people having difficulty getting on Larry’s account. Her directions are:
If when you try the link, you get something about “the certificate is not current” and it gives you a choice to continue (with a warning “not recommended” – click on this anyway; it is the only way a new registrant can get on – it IS safe for this link ONLY.)
