DIRTY ROTTEN THIEVES!

Technology these days is a wonderful thing. It can either help you or hinder you.

This past Saturday hubby went to use his debit card. And it was DENIED!. He came home thinking we didn't have any money. (He should know better!) I double checked our account online and there was more than enough money to cover any purchases he wanted to make. So we kind of thought maybe it was the machine he was using couldn't read his card. Then Sunday we went out for breakfast and he decided to try his card on breakfast and the card was DENIED once again.

It sure is embarrassing when your debit card gets DENIED at a place of establishment!

Since it was a weekend and a holiday on Monday, we couldn't get a hold of the bank until today. 

Hubby goes to the bank and explains that his card was DENIED. The Gal looked it up and said that you have plenty of money, so that is not the issue. She got to looking further. She made a phone call and she comes back and said that there was two charges in Virginia on Saturday. She says I see by the activity that you were here locally because your card was denied twice locally.

So she said that she'll credit our account and issued hubby a new card, which won't be here for a few days and everything will be good to go again.

If it wasn't for our bank catching this transaction we would've been out almost $500.

The store, who took this fraudulent card, however they took it, weather one was made or whatever, I want the world to know who it was because as a checker I would have questioned these purchases for the amount of money that was rang up. At DOLLAR store for crying out loud!

I Googled these two addresses to get directions and these two stores are only 9 miles apart. The purchases had to of been done first thing on a Saturday morning when the store opened. The thieves drove 9 miles to the other DOLLAR store. Used the card again because the charges did not show up on our account until Sunday the day after because most credit card machines are ran at midnight or at closing.

This #1218 store ran a charge for $226.01.



This store #8841 ran a charge for $204.95.



The thieves not only hurt one person but there's two victims in all of this. We as consumers being ripped off and the store for this fraudulent charge because they won't get their money back! 10 to 1 they don't even know who did it.  Like I said, if I worked there and was a checker, I would of gotten I.D. from them that included their first born!  ID could of been fake, but NOT PICTURE ID! When you're spending over $200 at a dollar store you've got to ask questions! 

I don't know if I have any readers out there that shop at these two stores, but if I do....let me know!

Oh, and by the way, several of my friends that commented on my Facebook about this, had their Cards compromised in the last 3 to 4 weeks! One got a very nice spa treatment in Texas! LOL. Others were used in the mid west also. Just be very vigilant about checking your statements! And a HIGH FIVE to our financial institutions that watch our money!

Snow Geese!

A heard them come in!
The noise was deafening!
It made me walk about,
 and when I looked up,
 The sky was loaded with Snow Geese!
 It was a sight to behold, 
and one I had never seen.
 But I think the snow geese were confused, 
because they were headed due WEST!
Mother Nature is just awesome!

The Day After Halloween!

Star: Uh Oh! I smell Trouble!
 Yep! It is trouble all right! There is some scary things on that stump!

I need to save my rope!
 Those scary Objects are going to ATTACK!
Buddy: Peaches! You didn't run Fast Enough!
 Peaches: What do you expect from short legs?
 Buddy: I just can't look at you! There is a black blob on your head and you look totally silly!
 Peaches: How is this one? It blends better with my hair coloring.

Libby: Fine! I will entertain mother for you kids!  I actually think I look good in Orange.
Purple? But not so much the cone head thing.
 Okay! I don't need the toupe! I am NOT bald!
 But the blond locks I think work fabulous! 
Thhhhhh! There! NOW can I have my cookies!?
 Buddy:  Ok, This is as far as I am going to let that Orange thing get!
 Black suits me just fine! Blends with my stripe!
 You are NOT, I repeat, NOT going to turn me into a cone head!
Are we done yet? I know Libby and Peaches got some cookies!
 Earlier in the day I had gone and purchased some pumpkins.
Read where they were good for equines.
Well I tossed it out.
Rolled like a bowling ball!
Picked it up and threw it hard on the ground.
Landed with a thud.
On the third try, it finally broke open.
All the while Buddy standing there watching me.

When it broke open, Libby, Peaches and Star sniffed.....
Turned their noses up and walked away.
Buddy was the only one that ate any of it.
 Evidenced by his orange nose here.
 This is the most kissable nose and cheeks ever! 
 This is a conversation between Buddy and Star in that she is telling Buddy that she did not have to model anything because she would not stand still and would not let anything get near her!
I am HOPING, Buddy was telling her it was alright and she had nothing to fear!

ONE GOOD NOTE WITH STAR: I did walk her out the gate and to the trailer!
Second time of being out of the pasture!
There were cookies at the trailer!
Baby steps! Baby Steps!
This is Buddy! 
He is the best Donkey Ever!
Star is a good little girl, and has the best Bray Ever!
Peaches is so wonderful, and is the best Pony Ever!
And Libby, well She is just the best HORSE EVER!
