Wow! My online debit card was compromised AGAIN! I just got this one in July, and on the 13th somebody tried to buy $448 worth of stuff from Target! :blink:

I'm glad my bank stopped it, but they really should be notifying me when they turn my card off! I just tried to use it to order Xena some dog food from Petco, and it was declined. :glare:

It's happened to me about three times. The bank only contacted me for one. Hubby caught the others. The last one was for $800 worth of clothes bought at an online clothing store. They also had a huge Dominoes pizza dinner on us too.

Supposed to be 41 tomorrow morning. Hubby's leaving for hunting for three days tomorrow so he'll be a tad chilly in the mornings. I on the other hand will be in this comfy house, not sleeping in the woods. And I am about to go see who has purses and wallets on sale this week so I can go right after work tomorrow. :D Might as well go to the Dollar Tree too. Decided to treat myself to something I want when he goes to the woods for a few days. Sounds fair to me. :laugh:

Evening folks. Hope all is well.

We're about as packed up as we can be for now. Going to get a storage unit tomorrow. Ungh.

Been super busy with job search, softball, volleyball, more softball, umpiring, packing, gym, and now we're about to add basketball into the mix.

Yeah, that's about "all" I've got. Sorry for the infrequent check ins. Just too busy.

Weather is cooling off here. Lows in the mid 30s. Still trying to squeeze in as much two wheeled time as possible. That reminds me. We're also trying to track down a used pocket dirt bike for CJ for Christmas. They're $300+ new. Plus all the safety gear. Of course, he knows we don't have the money for one, so he's asking Santa. :facepalm:

PANTHERS WON!!!! They beat Seattle for the first time in like five years. We're now 5-0!!!

Ok, hope everyone has a goodnight!

Morning! On the cell non stop with the phone co for the hut. Our phone, internet and cable keep going out. Now he's trying to tell me that one of us must have turned it off from the basement. Sure, at 11:38pm on Friday night, I went down there, got a ladder, unplugged the router, then went back to bed. I've plugged it back in, pulled it, numerous times over the last few days. Idiots. Checking out Dish right now. blech.

We're going to be up to 70 this week!!! :banana:

I can only like the 70 part of that.

Glad you checked in, James. I hope you can find a job soon. Good luck!

I just got home from work. Well, actually I went to Kohl's after work and spent an hour browsing around in there. I only bought a wallet though. Then since Ross was just next door I went in there too. Found a pair of boots I wanted but didn't get them. Only $25. Might go back later and get them. Don't know. Probably will. Well, maybe not. I really liked them. Leather hiker type boots. Super comfortable. Alex called me at one point while I was shopping and I told him I was still at work and didn't know when I'd be home. :laugh: That way he left me somewhat alone. Tonight is weigh in. Not feeling too confident about losing this week. Maybe I'll get lucky.

How is everyone's Monday going?

Thin ice on the turtle pond good thing I brought them in. So been trying to get outside shack things done. Side trip to TSC that was the high light of my day, :lol:

*yawn * I'm ready for a nap. Hope everyone's day is good.
Atthe time you posted this, I was ready for a nap too! :lol: Wicked Monday, and wondering if the parcels are this heavy now, what will the holidays look like?

I agree with Drott on the dish. I never had it, but friends have and the rain and snow REALLY mess with it. And wind.

Although I hate them, I've had very good luck with Verizon for my internet and cable. It was a bit touch and go there for a while, the :censored: cable box kept resetting itself, and would take about a half an hour to get back to normal. That seems to have cleared up (knock on wood).

Supposedly the mod that I won from ECF is out for delivery. It doesn't make sense to me, since it said "with delivery courier" this morning at 0943, in Harrisburg! But then it's DHL, so who the heck knows??

We had dish once, at a different hut. The wind always knocked it out. I was hoping it was better these days. Frontier won't cover us here, we're in no service zone for everyone but our local losers. ugh.

Super nice out today, sad that I was stuck inside. Maybe I can poke my head out for awhile tomorrow. *fingers crossed*

Still waiting for those duckies to lay an egg.

Like, not like, not sure, FV.

We've had Directv for years but switched to using the Roku w/ Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu. Our local news comes from online mostly and we only have one internet provider in our boonies of a town.

I lost 2 pounds at weigh in tonight. One pound to go to hit the 100 pound mark and 2 til I hit goal. Ate some veggies when I got home and about to go have my nightly frozen peach fruit bar.

Lots and lots and lots on my agenda for tomorrow.

I gave in and went and bought the shoes I fell in love with on my way home from weigh in. So today I officially spent more money on myself than in the past three months together. And I feel immensely guilty but will not return either the shoes or the wallet. :)

Sure wish the kids would go to sleep, including the dogs. I just want some peace and quiet for a few before I fall asleep.

We all survived Monday! :)

Grats on the weigh in Tiff! :)

Nope, the mod was not being delivered to me. Delivered 135 miles north. Sent a PM to see if I could get the right tracking number. :facepalm:

Andy put a pic up on his facebook, somebody cut clean through his throttle cable. :glare: Thankfully it wasn't his clutch cable or breaks.

I have risen and trying my best to shine.[emoji23] im in the therapist office waiting for Morgan to come out. Then to a nail appointment. Morgan fell in love with my new boots and is trying to talk me into giving them to her. Nope! And this was the only pair they had in our size. Oh. And she's not thrilled with the fact that i now wear the same size pants as she does. [emoji23] I on the other hand am quite thrilled! 15 pounds ago I said i I was trying to make it to this point. Now I'm thinking maybe another 10 or so. Not sure yet.

Congrats Tiff!

Boo hiss Bamrz. To both missing mods and creepy people.
Good news is, I got a text a few minutes ago that said DHL tried to deliver it today but no one was home. I just need to leave a note and they can leave it. :)

I keep trying to be on my diet, but stuff happens. Today it was the guy from the coffee shops fault. He brought over fresh cream puffs. OMG, that man can bake.
Is he single?? :lol:
