Sucker.

By
That would be me. I'm easy to scam, which is funny because I'm suspicious by nature and you'd think I'd see through scams. But no, I don't, and I'm pretty sure I got scammed by someone calling themselves Facebook.

See, my account got locked, and they said I needed to send in a photo ID to verify my identity. I thought at the time that I was at the actual Facebook site, but now I look back at it I'm not sure. Did I go through the fishy message I received? I can't remember, and that's got me worried.

So Damm will be calling our lawyer group to see what we might need to do. He can't think of ways one could use a Driver's License, but I can-see, that suspicious nature. That does me absolutely no good when confronting an actual scam.

I should just stop using the Internet. It is evil. Evil evil evil.

Now I understand all those old people who refuse to use the internet. It's just too easy to accidentally give away vital information. And if you know that you're easily susceptible that's even more reason to stay far, far away.

Or just be more careful. Take Internet safety classes.

I still feel sick from this. Bah.

Your the second person i have heard of having this happen to them. I advised the other person not to give them a copy of her ID. Not sure what is up with it or how them having your ID would be detramental but its certanly not good. Best of luck to you on resolving the issue.

I think we have-we followed all the steps you're supposed to take when your identity gets stolen. Not sure how they could use my ID either but it's best to be safe. And thanks:)

Several years ago while doing my Christmas shopping at the local Mall I left my credit card at one of the stores. I went back and got it within half an hour (when I tried to make my next purchase and discovered it missing), but while he had my card the clerk at that store rang up a $50 purchase against it. He then removed $50 cash from the till thinking it would balance out, but it doesn't. Cash & credit transactions are recorded differently, and the Manager spotted the difference when he balanced the till drawers that evening.

A few days later, when I noticed the second transaction from that store on our card, I returned to the store and spoke to the Manager. He credited the $50 back to me, but I don't know if he deducted it from the clerk's final paycheck. Yes, final paycheck. For the sake of $50 some idiot kid got himself fired just days before Christmas.

INSANITY. Day 2.

By
My thoughts on the Plyometric Cardio Circuit? My floor has never looked so appealing. And I never thought I'd be one of the "yellers." In exercise lingo (not another lingo!:) that means you yell when things get hard. Oh bother. Another pun. Anyway, Shaun T's Basketball Drills had me yelling. And grunting as good as those humongo body builders do. And as good as Tim the Tool Man Taylor:) Damm's thoughts were that he didn't push as hard as he could've BUT this time he was standing at the end of the workout. And as soon as he actually sat down he couldn't get back up:) We aren't going to change what we eat yet. We were already ingesting good-for-you foods. According to the caloric needs calculater Damm should be eating around 3,000 calories working out 6 days a week and I should be at 2,400. I'm already at 2,000-2,200 because I'm still the main food source of the Little Man. Not sure where Damm falls on the calorie count. Anyway, not upping ou...

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Pedestels

By
Me and someone had an interesting conversation yesterday. Prompting this short question post: Who do you put on a pedestel? Who do you look down on? Don't answer either of these please. I don't really want to know. I just did a personal inventory and realized there are an awful lot of people that I either elevate or disparage for reasons that are not really valid reasons. I know there are people I've thought horrible things about who were really just normal regular joes who were smart in other areas but inexperianced in the arena I knew them in. I know there are people I've thought of as amazing self assured genius specimens of physical perfection....who were really insecure, incompetant, losers who wanted more from life. Anways this is just serious thoughts from the Orc.
