Let the bridal and baby shower games cease already Dear Mary: I am stuck in a cycle of nonstop bridal and baby showers. Once wedding events are finished for one couple, the baby show- ers start, until the next bridal showers start again for some- one else. By now, I dread the typical shower games and activities. Do you have any ideas for throwing successful showers without the games and without break- ing the bank? -- Shan, e-mail Dear Shan: Take control, girl. There is no protocol that says you must play games at a shower. Serve a lovely lunch or afternoon refreshment. Ask a close friend to give a "devotional," or short inspirational talk, about the bride- or mother-to-be, and allow your guests to enjoy one another. Once the gifts are opened, thank your guests for coming and help the guest of honor pack up to go home. That's what I would do. However, I know readers will have many alternatives for you. So let's invite them to share. When they do, I'll pass along their ideas! Dear Mary: How can I stop the flood of spam e-mail that I receive? I have my spam filter set, and I flag the e-mails that make it through as junk, but they keep coming and coming. What am I missing? -- Leslie, e-mail Dear Leslie: I wish I knew. I have done all the things you mention, but still my inbox fills with junk. I've come to the con- clusion that some junk is just the price we pay for the conve- nience of e-mail. I find it to be a small annoyance compared with e-mail's benefits. careful whenever they are on public networks, because personal information can be compro- mised. -- Marianne R., e-mail Dear Marianne: You are Dear Mary: I read the recent "Everyday Cheapskate" column about using free Wi-Fi in public places instead of paying for service at home. It's a good idea in principle, but I also have read that using freely available Wi-Fi isn't secure. When you go somewhere like Starbucks, other people can get access to your private information, including passwords and account numbers, and even hack into your laptop. Maybe this won't happen, but it could. I'm not a geek, but a couple of computer newsletters I get advise people to be Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate right. I have confirmed this. You never should access your bank account or pay bills online while using a public Wi-Fi connection. That's one of the drawbacks to not having Internet access that you pay for. If you do not have access to a secure connection, say, at work or at the home of a friend or relative, pay your bills through the mail, the old-fash- ioned way. There always is going to be give-and-take when you choose to cut your expenses in significant ways. The trick is to find reasonable work-arounds that will allow you to make those cuts.
