Something that has personal significance, so you'll remember. Plus it can help you memorize the verses if you're so inclined. Bonus points for multi-verse segments because you will get a - in it, and if it's a first or second book of something you can use I or II instead of the numbers 1 and 2 and get more capital letters in it.<br /><br />That's what I do. But that isn't my verse. :)Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08563154977078187669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-75704000684065271132011-05-18T23:35:01.503-04:002011-05-18T23:35:01.503-04:00Ah, yes, passwords.

You can do them in all lowercase, then when you have used them up and are using them a 2nd time, you can capitalize them properly.

Hacker got all her contacts including me & was sending out emails saying 'on vacation & mugged in London need $1,800.' <br /><br />Another friend got 1st email.
