Comments: Yesterday I left Duncanville at 8:15 am, drove to McKinney for my granddaugher's pre-school graduation -- missed the rain altogether. Never had to turn my windshield wipers on. Quite different from when I drove to McKinney last Friday about noon in a raging rain storm while on 121.
Comments: Good morning SOC Friends! I have an apology to make... last night in my rush to finish up on the PC, fix supper and eat & clean the kitchen so I cd get to the TV for the Season Finale of Gray's Anatomy, I forgot to tell you I posted a new Grandone photo!! It's one of our newer Grandones getting a little spit bath from a family friend!! Ck it out! Nice to hear we're going to have a good turn out for the 6-5 Party!! Hope Sandra, Linda, Rick, Gary D & Charles are alright! Man, that storm with hail & tornadoes late yesterday recked havoc on the southern part of Dallas. We were lucky, here in Richardson all we got was some much needed rain & a little high wind.
Comments: SNL, Been extremely busy shutting down our website portion of our Elaine Russell Safety business. It's nickel and dime us to death. We found better sales and less expense by joining other vendors at city in the home parties. Meet a lot of nice folks at these homes. See all 6-5-10. That's all Sarah has talked about the last 3-4 weeks. Take care my friends. Will write again soon. Sam
Comments: Golden Bears forever!

Comments: If you subscribe to Facebook and read both of my posts yesterday (you know that I rarely do more than click the "like" option), you know that we've decided to not give in to the scoundrel by giving up on FB fun, friends and games. The only reason we are on FB is for the games and we have Shortcake to thank for that!! There's no way to prove that the Canadian scoundrel is one and the same who attempted to breach Bruce's FB account. Although probably a coincidence, I still believe there is a connection. You should have seen the look on the branch manager's face when I asked her why the fraud alert was ignored by the bank personnel like it did when we last visited Las Vegas. She said, "there's really no good reason why we didn't contact you". Wonders never cease.....imagine some idiot paying an energy (gas) bill and a cable bill with my debit card! I think the bank may already be hot on his/her trail! Hell hath no fury like a women whose bank account has been compromised!
Comments: Richard, as the Old Stock Trader's Almanac tells us ... "Sell in May and go away". Thereby avoiding the typical lackluster non-performance of the summer months.
Comments: John...if Facebook & Twitter is what gives meaning to your life....get a life my friend. (sarcastic here). Also, your thoughts on the market I think are coming to fruition. Neither John, nor I, would give investment advice, but you 401k folks might want to re-evaluate your current strategies.
Comments: Toni, I saw your comment on Facebook yesterday and was wondering what might have happened to run you off the site. I wonder how your debit card number is connected to Facebook? More importantly, now that you have abandoned those of us still on Facebook, what other arbitrary social index will you use in the future to confirm that your life truly has value? Aside from Facebook, the pickings are slim ...
Comments: Richard you are so right my friend! We don't have a "debit" cd for that very reason. You are giving a thief access to your entire checking acct!!! It is a real hassle, if you can even do it, to get all your money back from the bank! I'm only liable for a max of $50 on my cr cd & if you call immediately it's "0". Our cr cd # was use up in IND for thousands of dollars yet we had our cds in our pockets. We had zero liability & got a new cd within 24 hrs. Debit cds may be the "in thing" now days, but they are not the best choice for protecting your cash.
Comments: This is from an article on the subject...just so we know. "When the cards are used without a PIN, it is called an "off-line" transaction. A thief who has a copy of a debit card restaurant receipt can drain your checking account, even if your card itself or PIN hasn't been stolen. Worse, under the law, your liability is higher for debit card fraud than for credit card fraud, although VISA and Mastercard have announced that their issuing banks are voluntarily reducing liability, due to pressure from PIRG and other consumer advocates. Worse, regardless of your ultimate liability, with ATM debit card fraud, the thief has your money, from your checking account, and you still have to fight to get it back from the bank. (1) YOUR LIABILITY IS GREATER THAN WITH A CREDIT CARD: The law limits consumer liability for credit card fraud to $50. For debit card fraud, your liability is $50 if you notify the bank with 2 days of learning of the fraud, and $500 or more after two days, up to the entire amount stolen under certain circumstances."
Comments: Toni, that's just a real nightmare for you. It's after the fact, but just so you know, debit cards have gotten lots of criticism for just this reason. I've never had one, and always encourage Mary Ann to not use hers...just the "credit" card piece of it. It's easier for banks to reverse a "credit" charge than to get cash back. Just my thoughts on the matter. About that rat snake....we get them all the time and they're large enough to really get your attention (2-3 feet). However, the alternative is........rats. So, I leave them alone as the snake is harmless and the rats are, less harmless.
Comments: Holly Crap indeed Toni!!! How did someone get your debit card #?? Was it thru FB? Good grief what a nightmare. I can only imagine the "dance" at the bank!!
Comments: Good thing Bruce got his birthday present early or he might have missed out with all of that going on. Glad things turned out alright for you, Toni!
Comments: HOLY S&%#!!!! For those of you who go on Facebook, you noticed yesterday that I announced my departure from Facebook. It seems thta FB notified us that an attempt to compromise Bruce's account had been made from somewhere in Canada! We were assured that FB was doing everything they could do to assure security but they wanted us to know. Okay, we get it THEN the other shoe dropped! It seems that some ass^&%$ in Canada got my debit card # and cleaned out our bank accounts!!!! Needless to say, I was on the phone with the bank and at the bank all day yesterday. It seems that this process of getting our money back may take as long as 90 days. Oh, happy day! It goes without saying that Bruce and I are not happy campers right now. Thanks for the birthday wishes for Bruce. I'll be sure to tell him! As luck would have it, yesterday while I'm pulling my hair out and doing a dance on my banker's desk, Bruce managed to find a golf course in Kansas to try out his new Golf Logix toy! Isn't is strange to see a man walking all over a golf course WITHOUT golf clubs? Jack, Bruce will be available on Saturday morning! Brayden's games are at 4 and 6 p.m. Shortcake, are you keeping up with Ronney lately?? I haven't heard from him lately but I received a surprise package and so did you! Just a thought! |
I do hope ya'll get it fixed quickly. Oh, as of this morning you & Bruce are still shown on FB.| < Previous 15 | Next 15 > |
