Who knows, maybe I will just go out for a visit. I hear Lexington is awesome. And there are several awesome folks out there I would love to meet up with (especially you),

Two birds, one stone: have fun with friends, irritate my parents. ;)

bbbbut, if it's in louisville next time, will you come? i'm so close.

Last time I flew in, went to the conference, got TOTALLY blocked by a friend, and flew out right after the conference. They time those things very closely.

But I can't imagine I'll never be out there for a longer trip. :)

okay.

Between that and the Dad whose response to my support for same-sex marriage was "you have never done anything worthwhile with your life and probably never will", I find myself in no particular rush to subject myself to that torture.

Thankfully this year's annual business meeting is in Dallas instead of Louisville.

My Mom, who cannot resist the family impulse to judge: instead of just a simple "sorry you're having dental problems, feel better soon" she has to get in her digs about how it must be my fault for not taking care of my teeth, and I should do better going forward. To which I replied, "Duly noted. Thanks." And they wonder why I never have plans to visit

ouch

I caught it because I was logging into our Discover account to see when the billing period ended, and I was locked out. We usually get a phone call or something (not that this has happened before, but some big purchases we've made have raised the flag).

We used the card at the tire place and at Home Depot, but it never left hobbitt's hand.

I did, however, leave my wallet under the driver seat when the tires were being installed. So earlier today I went out to check on it. Card's still there (as are the other cards) and the wallet didn't seem to have been disturbed. I checked the other accounts and there's nothing untoward in any of them.

Oh well.

The insurance part is what puzzles me. Can't resell it, can't cash it in, and any policy you take out traces back to you in no time at all. The Secret Service won't even break a sweat.

It's a weird choice for credit card fraud.

It's no worry or liability to us. Just a PITA. I have to change payment information in several sites I subscribe to, is all.

And the odds of someone getting their number wrong and having it come up a valid number are pretty high.

Odd for a fraudster to rack up that much on insurance, especially at Progressive. Good thing someone caught it!

Pops hates turkey subs,but instead of eating any of the crap he likes and I can't stand in the fridge,I just found out he ate my dinner.

Offered him a bunch of options,but he said he'd scrounge something up. {#Frustrated}
