At least the paving stones look nice.

Yeah, they grow anywhere

Ha! An inside job!

No, the bank called ME and let me know about them. They were all still pending and they denied them all. We still have to go to the bank on Friday (after they've "cleared") to sign affidavits that they aren't ours.

Phew.

I just had to have my ATM card reissued. No charges were attempted but not made and the card was frozen.
I found this out at the bike shop. Good thing they know me
I'm really glad it wasn't when I was at at the grocery store.

This is a good place to mention that if you're traveling, OR if you and your spouse/SO/other joint account holder are traveling separately, call your bank ahead of time and let them know where you're going. It's pretty much SOP for them to freeze your cards when you have charges in different locations that you don't visit often.

Not a huge deal, but it can be a real PITA when your card's rejected when you're trying to check into a hotel, or buy something, and you have to step out of line and get on the phone in the lobby and sort it out with the bank.

Glad they didn't actually get anything, Tucker & Zen.

When we were on our travels last year, we received an email from our bank notifying us of odd transactions in the countries we'd just been in or were in at the time. We rang & emailed the bank to notifiy them we were overseas

Here's an interesting souvenier for those who might be travelling to Tassie http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8006042.stm

I gots a new helmet



and picked up a few of these since I tend to break them


I think I've decided on getting Luna Chix jerseys/shorts since it's almost exactly what I'm looking for. However I also found the Northshore Cyclists club that I may join...

I know I'm not the only one here who thinks Ira Glass is sexy.

Who's Ira Glass?

I know I'm not the only one here who thinks Ira Glass is sexy.

Why am I always a little bit scared to google someone you think is sex??

<snort> I can see your point here. Her choice is pretty harmless, though...THIS time. Google away.

I don't know if I think he's sexy or I just am very fond of him in general.

I wonder if it's coincidence, or if this problem has spiked - that's 3 of us in this thread. My card was turned down at PetCo. On my way out the door, my phone rang with someone from the bank asking me if I'd made a whole bunch of odd (for me) charges. nope, not me.
Guess they are doing a good job of catching it. Scary, though.
The woman apologized profusely for them canceling the card. I kept telling her I did not mind at all - not in the least little bit!

LOL, maybe it says something about me but I always have to google it. Kinda like looking at a car wreck. PS I thought he was kinda cute actually

What I did instead of riding today (don't look, Zen!):
