Hi gals..... I not only had my debit card "stolen" by an electronic card reader, I then had my identity stolen. I only found out when Master Card called one night and asked if I had authorized a $1500 payment to an airlines. Then she said they also tried to take out $450, and the first one was for just $1.
This is how they do it....... www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjOduu...
They cancelled my card, re-issued another one. And she told me to buy or make one of those aluminum card carriers. That way their "reader" cannot steal your numbers.
It didn't end there.... A few months later, Capitol One bank sent a registered letter, asking if I was trying to open an account with them. It was their fraud department. So, my identity had been stolen, along with my SS number. I had to report this to the credit reporting agencies, (Trans-union) SS, the Denver Police Dept. and the Federal Trade Commission.
I don't carry any cards with me now.... Only when I know I am going to use the card,and it is an aluminum wrapped "case" that I made. And don't keep but a minimum in your checking acct! I had to also report this to the IRS... And you can always check your accounts online. The Credit Union put a fraud alert on my account, and none of the attempts went through, thanks to Master Card calling me so fast. The thieves will try & charge a small amount, and then try more, and also notify their "friends" in another state, and then THEY tried to charge the $450 airline tickets from Florida, to Spirit Air. All they need is that "reader" and this happens all the time.
I have to carry around the DPD report, in case I get stopped, just to prove my identity.
So just be careful.......
Morning girls! I just posted this on another thread, and thought the more that know about this, the safer you will be!
I never thought this would happen to me.... and the thieves can just be walking past you, like in a mall or a store, and their "reader" will steal all of your credit/or debit card information, and immediately use it. That's what those aluminum wallets are for.... It blocks the reader from stealing the electronic information on your cards....

Amazing. Makes me uneasy to say the least.

Morning everyone...Chevy and I talked about it cause i had a problem too.I had an aluminum cigarette case (the old fashioned ones) and i put my cards in there....I feel safe now.Do it.
Im never on early but i woke up sick and thought i would go to the dr today.yeah at 6:30 tonite.lol.I think the pneumonia or bronchitis is back.one of them for sure....Also gastro dr. at 4;30 to figure something out with my stomach surgery.
Yeah its Monday and im in a shitty mood.

Happy Monday, Granny!

I know Meece! I was so afraid when I was talking to MasterCard, I was just shaking! .... I had to do a lot of follow-up work after they cancelled my card, but then had my identity, and SS # stolen also.
Just really be careful....
Kantalope.... Man I'm so sorry you don't feel good! Just tell me you are drinking that Aloe Vera 3 times a day.... It's also a natural anti-biotic, or something like that... I mean it is for inflammation..... I KNOW about your stomach problem, but surgery? I mean what can they do??? You really ARE a mess...
That's okay, we'll all take care of you.... just eat some cream of wheat, or milk toast. What is wrong with your stomach? Okay.... let us know what your Doc's say.... they will probably tell you to say 5 hail mary's! SOMEthing has to help you!

I finally have to go for stomach surgery to remove the part of the diverticular (intestines) that is sick.Its been sick for way way way too long and if i dont do it soon and have another attack ill end up with the bag(for the rotten poop)...sooo im gonna set something up today.Hopefully!!!!!!BUT my son has to go for brain surgery in jan.so he comes first...He has an anyurism(did i spell it right?)
Yes I tried the aloe along with a lot of different things for this gut non invasive surgery is the way to go.
yeah im in a crappy mood.
And lets not forget i think one of the 2 are back.pneumonia or bronchitis...grrrrrrrrrr
end of rant....

Granny I hope you feel better and get your intestines back in shape with that surgery. Being sick is no fun! Prayers for you and your son both. Hope he comes through his surgery to remove the anuerysm with flying colors. Take Care.

Princess K..... Just thinking of you..... A colostomy is always a possibility, but they have so many options now, without doing that type of surgery! My SIL had to have a lot of her colon removed, and then what was left, was just sewn back to where she did not have to have that bag...... So just think positive.
And sorry about your Son..... You didn't spell it right, but we all know what you are talking about! Is it done with minimal surgery also??? Do I have to come out there and take care of ALL of you? You are ALL falling apart at the seams...... I don't think stress is doing you any good either.... Is there some way you can get your mind off of everything for awhile? Or can you just remember I will always think of you....
Funny, how some people just climb into our hearts, and we'll always be there for them, if even just for moral support. xoxoxoxo

Granny that diverticulitis is miserable stuff, my DH has it. Hoping he can hold off for a long time before he needs the surgery but it is inevitable according to the surgeon. Sending all sorts of positive vibes you way that they give you the right meds to knock out the lung gunk as well as for your sons surgery next month.

Granny- prayers to you and your son.

Finally went to Macy's One Day Sale today.....i didn't tell anyone because i needed a lot of time to study everything all by myself.......
Came home around 7:30.... ate...watched Voice......
Time to complain...We are getting a 10% raise on our Coop Maintenance fee...because of the future new boiler.........Yesterday I got a letter from optimum that my promotional package price will expire and i have to pay the regular amount as of Jan 1..........
Well maybe I should turn off the electricity live with candles......cancel cable etc....
I really don't know how i'm gonna do this......HAWAII please call me..it's really my time now......
The End
Tomorrow MH....I'm feeling very confused i almost couldn't find the exit at Macy's and that's the store I go for years......
I don't know what it's related to...is it neurological...age related...early Alzheimer......
I'm getting very uneasy about this and my mind is going all over the place almost ready to ask for a brain scan.....
Friday I see my MO...maybe I should mention it to her.........
Sorry...I just don't feel like myself...heart skipping again...anxiety is right there....
All the tests don't show any issues with heart or tyhroid...
What am I suppose to do? I'm afraid to go to bed.....some really weird things are happening and i don't know how to describe it...
I'm not depressed or anything
Hugs♥
This condition didn't start today it's been with me for few weeks.......
OOH still toothless.....

Sounds like you girls are falling apart! Sheila, it sounds like a panic attack that you are going through.... have you ever had them? You have a lot going on right now, but don't let it get you down. We have had a "promotional" price a few times, with our Comcast, but after 6 months, it just goes back to regular price! I have to call them again!
I know that feeling of being "confused".... It's like my brain isn't working with me! Maybe it's hormone changes, or something else... It just happens sometimes, but it really makes you afraid.... but those feelings for me, were panic attacks, I think. I was afraid to go to bed also! It felt like if I didn't "hang on" and I went to sleep, I would die..... But this was many years ago. And with your heart racing, watch your caffeine too.
Kantalope.... honey..... I have to read your post 5 times to make sense of what you wrote! My mind sees those abbreviations and spelling and I go back and think WHAT the hell is she TALKING about??? So then, since I know you and love you, it all comes together! YOU say you have Bronchitis again... You must have not gotten over it before??? And I think you need some more meat on your bones. I know your stomach and digestion problems, but is there some sort of dietitian that will work with you, and tell you what you must eat? Because you could tell them you are falling apart! You can't eat a bunch of things that help your body work.... And neither will my Husband for that matter! He won't eat vegetables nor fruits, unless an occasional little bit of Watermelon. He is falling apart WITH you. If I had to take care of both of you, I would go nuts!
His stomach & digestion is just not working right.... Of course it COULDN'T be the 4-5 beers he has every afternoon... (but way less than it used to be).....He has lost so much weight because he only likes sweet....(cookies, cakes, rolls, little pies, etc.) And he snacks on his chips, pretzels, cheetos, and you would swear he is smoking maryjanewana...
But he isn't... I'm thinking it COULD help him relax, ha! God knows anyone can get there hands on it here!But if you guys can't/don't eat right, you lose your muscle mass, your innards just don't work right..... Then you have to take Pepto, Gas-X, Rolaids, and Ranitidine... even Maalox, and that stuff is the WORST! So then you can't sleep, and you have to take Tylenol PM! But only 1...! If he would just take 2, maybe he WOULD sleep... SO.....! Anything else I can help you with? I can't "make" him do anything.... Ha! It's like talking to the wall... He just gets depressed because he thinks he is getting older, and he hears of these old guys he worked with, that are dropping off like flies, and he gets to thinking that his days are numbered! I should put you and him in the same room, and see which one drives the other one nuts first!
See, I would haul your butts off to some Doc, and have him MAKE you guys eat right, and get better, and with him, make him see the beauty in life! And to thank God for every day he wakes up! And has ME by his side! Ha, ha! I just love that little guy.... 55 years with the little turd, and we are inseparable.
Valjean! I love those little hearts!

Sheila, did something bring it on? Those "feelings" are so frightening! What about taking a Benadryl? Or something like Claritin? Just anything to calm it down?
I looked this up.... http://www.panichelp.org/facts.html

The panic attack uses up a lot of adrenaline. It helps to eat something to bring up the blood sugar and something protein to stabilize it.
