Yeah, I got a fraud alert from Chase, alas it was just my shopaholic DH.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
It seems like the Angel of Death is easily confused by names.
It's remarkably literal. It wasn't even supposed to be doing this! While it was asleep one day, one of the other angels wrote "ANGEL OF DEATH" on its robes as a prank, and when it woke up it was all, "Well, crap. Guess I'd better get busy then."

Oh man, the P4 stuff just took another turn for the weirder.
But it does explain why email threats got the FBI's attention.
Also - that poor woman.

So I took a deep breath and delved into the comments on a Yahoo political story. And lo and behold! Most of the comments on the top of the popular list were not shrieking right wing rants of stupidity. I had begun to suspect that somewhere people were being paid to troll the comment boards of news stories, and now I'm beginning to wonder if I might have been right.
In my limited perusal of political comments, the right wingers are laying very low.
