Fried video card. Delicious!

The daughter was just playing “Jump Start Kindergarten” on the hubby’s Windows machine, when suddenly the screen went blank although we could still hear the game.

That’s when the ozone smell started.

Note to self: take this as the warning it is, back up all data tonight.

More Fraud Badness

August 2nd, 2005 2 comments

Well, the charges got refunded, but then when I was doing the bills yesterday, I noticed an $89.99 discrepancy that I couldn’t explain. Turns out the thieves went back to “The Company Store” and spent another 89.99 there. SIX DAYS after the initial fraud.

How the hell did they do that? The bank shut them down the same day. It’s very mysterious!

I just called the bank and informed them that this needs to be added to the other fraud complaint. They say they have now added it. Apparently my affidavit about the whole sorry mess is in the mail to me, ready for me to sign. Just gimme a pen, I’m all over it!

Thank you, Secret Pal!

My Secret Pal sent me another package! This one actually arrived late last week, and I’ve just been remiss in taking photos and thanking her. Bad, bad Tvini!

Lookee!

That’s a lovely card with lovely sentiments expressed inside. Is this handmade? That’s one crafty area where my skills are zero.

One copy of “At Knit’s End: Meditations For Women Who Knit Too Much.” Which, let’s face it. That’s me.

One container of cucumber melon hand wipes from Bath and one tube of “juniper breeze” hand lotion, both from Bath and Body Works. I so seldom to get to the mall, and when I do, I always go in there and kind of wistfully sigh. “No, I don’t really need that. I should go buy the sensible thing for my kid I’m here for.” I always look back at the store when I leave, though. These smell great, my secret pal did a great job in picking out a nice clean scent. These make me smile.

I am so happy with everything I’ve gotten. Now I have to get off my tuchus and actually mail out my giftee’s second package. Time’s running short.

Thanks again, Secret Pal!

DR satisfaction.

I’m finding I don’t have large blocks of time to alter, although I’m going to make a point of clearing the decks one evening (or maybe morning) to do so. Instead, I am finding that I have enough time to add more rumors and visions. It only occurred to me this morning that hey, the reports on events that I get periodically would make great rumors – even if I do twist ’em up sometimes. But hey, that’s what rumors are all about, eh?

So Prime and Plat, you’ve got rumors.
