Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Did you figure out how they got your number?

Nope. I asked how they knew these were fraudulent and she said that the magnetic strip info didn't match up. So it sounds like they might have had the number, but other info was different--but I'm not sure what gets put on the strip.

About $400-$500 was charged. My last real charge was the ER, and then they went on a beauty store shopping spree with my info some time afterwards.

Nothing but inconvenience, and I think I only have one thing regularly billed to that account, so I have to make sure I go into my gym and change that before my next payment is due.

You've called Citibank about this, right?

Oh, no.

Citibank called me.

I am weak. And soon I shall have orange fingers.

Adrian is married to Natalie Maines (Manes?) - I think.

I have numb face.

Replacement accidentally deleted some code.

I rewrote it because when I asked about the autobackups, the guy looked like he was going to cry.

Tired now.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

In AK, the liquor stores are open 9 am-midnight 7 days a week, but they have to be separated from the rest of the store (leading to a bifurcated 7-11, frex).

In MN, the stores are completely separated, and in the MSP area close at 8 p.m. weekdays and 10 p.m. weekends, with stores outside of the metro area closing at 10 p.m. all week. All stores are closed on Sundays. You can buy 3.2 beer at gas stations and supermarkets, but nothing else.

In CA, you can buy wine/beer/booze any damn time you want, as long as the store's open. Whoo!!

Wow, go away to lunch and come back 50 posts into a new thread.

(Sweet potato fries two days in a row in the cafeteria, which I'm choosing to interpret as evidence that God really does love me and have a wonderful plan for my life. It's the little things...)

Hec should make that part of the sales pitch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Didja notice Duane Reade sells beer now?

I did! Thank goodness now I can get beer and condoms in one place!

Ugh, ita -- I feel like that way of fraud would be worse, since they actually stole your money. Yay for Citibank, though.

But I have no chopsticks at the office, David!

Ralph's grocery store was my one-stop-shop for my sister-in-law's birthday.

I love the Meijer megastores. You can buy a car battery, a kitchen table, a pair of Birkenstocks, gourmet coffee, a tree, a frozen pizza, a birthday cake, some CDs, a party dress, and a gerbil all in one trip.
