Goodbye and Good Riddance 2009: So long and thanks for all the fish.  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2009? Don't think we've forgotten about you

I just ordered Aims' present. I hope it's what she's always truly wanted. I mean, other than Daniel Radcliffe.

Sail, how did the unsecured wireless contribute?

1) I have encrypted wireless at home.

2) The only place I've been where it was not a secure internet connection was Border's on Monday.

3) The order against my Paypal account was on Wednesday, and I hadn't been receiving any e-mail since at least Wednesday.

4) When I investigated the e-mail problem, I found that someone had forwarded all my e-mail to another account, placed a filter on the e-mail that screened out anything with e-bay or Paypal in the subject line and blocked all e-mail from e-bay.com, paypal.com and the e-bay vendor's e-mail acct.

I can think of no other way for them to have gotten that info unless they were able to hack the unsecure Border's connection.

Art Crawl!!!

Javacat,

Thank you so much for all my Christmas Goodies! You rock! I love the curious collection of things you found for me - the lovely sock yarn, the Hello Kitty notebook, the crazy yet cool horse head bottle opener. I'm wearing the comfy socks RIGHT now!

Thrive to spite them

So 2009 has been a year of changes.

It marked the 1 year anniversary of my current job. I'm doing good, we had some layoffs (which was bad), I got more responsibilities, (which I'm struggling with, but so is everyone else) but overall I get great feedback and I like my job.

I had to put my sweet kitty Anna to sleep, she was 20 1/2 years old and her little body was just shutting down. I had her my whole life and it was very very sad. I still miss her. But I've added Dean the Rouge and Maddie to my life, brother and sister kitties that are very sweet.

Also moved out of my apartment and back in with my mom. Not because I had to, but because she wants to move to be closer to my brother, SIL, and Cutest Nephew Ever! at some point this spring and I'll be renting her place when she does. Plus since I've moved in she's been up there most of the time.

In my love life SLNRLBF aka Will and I are doing great! He came down on Memorial Weekend and then we spent a week together at the beginning of November and it was AWESOME! I'm going up to Vermont to visit next fall (I think) and we're trying to figure out when I can move up there. We'll see when that happens.

And I'm very close to paying off my credit card so that's exciting.

Oh and I'm dealing with some illness that I don't know what it is, 2 CT Scans and 2 ultrasounds later I'm scheduled for a cystoscopy in Jan. I'm hoping that will shed some light on what is going on.

Got it, Sail. Does seem to be too much of a coincidence to have it not be the case. I've been the victim (10 years ago) of a serious stalker/identity thief who simply knew enough about me to guess my hotmail password. He did the same sort of thing, once he hacked my account, but the damage wasn't just financial. Anyway, thank god it was 10 years ago and dealt with and over (he's dead).
