Ouch ita! Did you notice this, or did the company? I'm always a bit worried it'll happen and I won't notice until I get my credit card statement (I have mint, but don't check it consistently)

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, I got a fraud alert from Chase, alas it was just my shopaholic DH.

Now tagless for your comfort.

ita, that sucks ass. I hope your bank has replaced the money.

We went on a play date today and the friends have chickens. Olivia went to help collect eggs and she got to get one egg as it was coming out of the chicken. She was thrilled and it was hilarious.

First crate report: not good. I put him in, with a little food, when I went out to put the car in the garage. I was gone about a minute, and he was howling when I came back in.

I put a little more food in there so he could explore it and not associate it just with being locked up. I wish I had a toy or something for him to play with, though. He's got to be bored.

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

Did you notice this, or did the company?

They noticed it because *I* made a $100 charge, which they denied--the day before, there'd also been a $100 charge, which is why it was flagged.

This payment was going to be higher than the others, so I didn't freak when I saw the balance (well, I didn't freak more--I just thought I'd spent more on/in Ja than I'd thought). But, JESUS. I'm the one that got denied. For some reason, their spending pattern didn't trip the algorithm on its own.

Which is scary.

V. slowly. Over 1 month there was a distribution of charges in LA and Barstow. West LA and Barstow. One card.

Clearly I had just gotten my dream Barstow job.

Getting turned down at Walgreen's ain't no nothing. But it does remind me that the best fraud checker is me remembering to look. No excuses there.
