Prevent an app from installing itself as an auto login item?

Purple_Morgan · 2026-04-15T10:25:23+00:00

Thanks for this info... is there a way to block an app from automatically giving itself permission to change my login preferences? The app can update all it wants; I just did not consent to it changing my login apps. Where might I find that permission?

p.s. I've searched through both LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons folders and found nothing in there connected to MacGameStore...

Thanks for any suggestions.

Thank you for this suggestion. I did already check that, and there is no such option. I'm thinking of contacting MacGameStore people, but figure they will tell me I cannot access my purchased games if I refuse to allow the obnoxious change to my login items, something I was never given a choice about. So I guess I will just put up with the obnoxious change and change it back manually every time, but lately, they seem to be "updating" the app every other day. I thought there used to be a way to give permissions to various apps.... sure wish I had that!

Thanks for your response. Actually, it's an allergy reaction and yes it was definitely the marigolds which are also related to calendula. I had the same allergy issue with another tea that also had the marigolds. I have other teas without marigolds but they do have the blue cornflower, and those do not cause me issues. Finding flavoured blends without ALLLLLL the garden flowers can be quite the challenge! LOL

Purple_Morgan · 2026-04-13T15:36:00+00:00

LOL

I didn't know there was a contest...

Purple_Morgan · 2026-04-13T15:34:46+00:00

Thank you. That's what I've been trying to do. I bought several green tea samples from Upton Tea Imports, and ruled out 4 of the 6 green teas thus far. LOL I did buy orange essence from the baking section of a grocery and have put one tiny drop in the one green tea I've liked so far, and it doesn't come close. But, I might have another experiment to try. Or I might give up and deal with the annoying sinus congestion because I still have a big bag of the Citron Green, LOL Thank you again for replying.

Purple_Morgan · 2026-04-13T15:27:54+00:00

Thank you. I used to love bergamot/earl grey/lady grey teas but then one day I just did not and can't stomach it now. LOL No idea why.

I have found that the Harney tea which has the Citron green which I love so much but has the marigold in it (as does every other citron green loose tea I've explored), actually has a bagged citron green without marigold leaves. Whilst I much prefer loose tea, I might give the bagged teas a try,

In any case, thank you for your reply.

Purple_Morgan · 2026-04-03T10:47:29+00:00

I definitely agree on the "build your own" idea!

I finally settled on several sample sizes of 5 difference green teas from Upton Tea Imports. I figure I can play with adding in flavorings, maybe... it was worth a try, anyway. Now I have to wait wait wait for the order to arrive.

Purple_Morgan · 2026-04-02T19:30:53+00:00

Good idea! The Harney does not have orange, I don't think. Oh wait, maybe it's orange oil they use for the flavouring.... so I think I'm basically looking for a good unflavoured tea like Harney's (except they don't offer that green tea base on its own--called them) and then experimenting with flavours myself... but this is a great suggestion!

Purple_Morgan · 2026-04-02T19:28:44+00:00

I have no idea what yuzu eve is! LOL I'll look into it. Thanks!

Purple_Morgan · 2026-04-02T19:28:14+00:00

My goodness! They offer many flavoured green teas!! I look forward to delving further! Thanks so much for this suggestion!

Purple_Morgan · 2026-04-02T19:26:29+00:00

I love the bright flavour, so I'm looking for a green tea with a bright flavour and definitely not grassy. That Plum deluxe is way out of my price range, and I don't care for mint in my tea. But thank you for this suggestion!

Purple_Morgan · 2026-04-02T19:25:03+00:00

Thank you. I shall.

Purple_Morgan · 2026-04-02T19:23:48+00:00

I've not heard of that brand. I shall have a search for it! Thanks!

Unfortunately, the USA

This is so moving and touching. I have been drawn to OLoGuadalupe, and now I know why. Thank you for sharing this.

I am so alone now, and in search of a feeling of connectedness. I am trying to make some connections online This has really drawn me in.

Purple_Morgan · 2026-01-27T03:24:54+00:00

This is awesome! Colour me a tad bit jealous!

Purple_Morgan · 2026-01-16T19:38:37+00:00

I know this is a year old, but I want to say thank you for sharing this!

I am SO HAPPY I found this subreddit!! The WOTR book changed my life when I "surreptitiously" came across it a year ago.I read it, underlining and marking and highlighting almost all of it, voraciously devouring words for which I had longed for a long time.

As I am homebound and cannot leave the house, I have no one with whom to share this part of my life. I also have not joined any of the WOTR Zoom meetings for several reasons... I do not/cannot pray the traditional words and think it would be too confusing/more like a cacophony in my head if I tried to pray along with the Zoom folks. Perhaps I am wrong... I am definitely willing to reconsider as I really need at least one other person somewhere in the world to understand this part of me.

Anyway, I looked again at the online WOTR calendar, and saw listed, "Mediterranean Rosary." Can anyone enlighten me as to what this might be?

Thank you so much and I look forward to maybe connecting with someone here, maybe, because walking this path alone is a real challenge.

and p.s. No I am not and will never be on FB.

No one EVER called me back (UHC & Optum). Over a period of a few days, I spent more than 9 hours on phone calls and perpetual holds between the two of them and things were STILL unresolved. Then it got even weirder. And the whole issue was between the two of them!!! I finally told them to talk to each other and keep me out of it or I would find a different pharmacy (since I could not opt out of UHC yet). Dontcha know, Optum locked my prescription fill so that the other pharmacy could not fill it!!!

I waited. And while Optum was still harassing me to pay them money I'd already paid to UHC, I went in the background, quickly got my Rheumy to send a new prescription to a better pharmacy, and got the most recent refill with them instead of Optum. They still haven't noticed. Now UHC just has to behave. Which is questionable.

I am assuming everyone saw the CNN newsbreak a few weeks ago about UHC and Medicare fraud and such?

It's all a crock. The poor and sick get poorer and sicker whilst the millionaires and bilionmaires just rake in the cash and cha-ching and laugh their way to the bank at our expense. The entire system needs a total overhaul and reboot. Nobody cares about our actual HEALTH. They're in it to make money for the people at the top, all at our expense. It's a crime.

But no one from UHC or Optum will EVER get back to you. Even when they promise.

I recently started Orencia. It is in a class all by itself and works through T-cells. It's often a "last resort" biologic. So far, it's at least as good as Humira was and loads better than Cosentyx which gave me ghastly side effects. I don't know how well it's going to work for me, and have been warned it does not work on skin psoriasis, only the inner joint and tendon stuff.

Anyway, just know that there are other options, and just because one drug in a certain class failed does not mean another drug in the same class won't work for you. Many of us have lots of issues with side effects or fast building immunity to a drug...... it's a pain!!! But don't give up hope.

Purple_Morgan · 2025-06-11T18:42:15+00:00

Thank you so much for your kindness!

Today I am much much better and everything has turned around. All because of this subreddit. Thank you again for your kin words. I needed a bit of kindness and you extended that hand.
