In April...another diagnostic. I'm taking my cue from the doctor and not going to concern myself with what it might be...just assume it's nothing and forget about it.

Have you talked to Spook lately? Just wondered how the Gallery Weekend went...Sandra called me about it and we had a long chat.

April?!

I don't know--haven't talked to them in a few weeks. I think we're waiting until the election to keep from stressing about it. The one in this area wasn't as good this year, imo.joann's place is always great, but I would have been glad to just go there.

Arky, I had a follow-up diagnostic and ultrasound on Wednesday of this week...diagnosis was it's a benign spot; follow-up of that is in April.

Sorry--didn't know I'd reposted. Good deal on the diagnosis.

Has anyone received an automated call purporting to be from "your credit card company" with no specific card named...the voice says "your eligibility is about to expire and this will be your last chance to get 6.9% on interest rates" for "your card" (still no specific card name). "Just press "9" to take advantage of this low, low rate."

I hung up because I suspect it was a scam to throw your number into some freakish long distance plan or by pressing 9, you're agreeing to some off-market credit service or other.

Anyone experienced this lately?

24588. wonkers2 - 10/25/2008 10:22:05 PM

Yes, I've gotten that call several times but not lately. As I recall at the end it referred me to another number which I tried once out of curiosity but never reached a human. It's probably either a scam or some credit card or loan company promotion, also a scam.

24589. anomie - 10/25/2008 11:27:34 PM

I haven't gotten that one, but I keep getting the "second notice" call on my cell phone that the warranty on my car is expired...a partner to those official looking notices I get in the mail saying he same thing, like I'm supposed to be super worried, or like I owe them money already. These notices have my make and model on them. The dealer says they don't give out this info. If that's true the only other place would be the DMV or roadside assistance, which I called once. The calls are prerecorded and come from a different area code each time. Makes me want to slap somebody.

She mailed the application today.

We might know something as soon as 4 weeks.

24591. iiibbb - 10/28/2008 1:22:56 AM

Now... just need to get through this election.

Get my own resume out.

Get the house sold.

Move.

Avoid any other pitfalls associated with this economy.

24592. Jenerator - 10/28/2008 3:24:25 PM

Good luck iiibbb. It would be nice if this year finished well for you and your wife! :-)

24593. alistairConnor - 10/28/2008 10:30:09 PM

Hang tough iii... keep the faith. There is something that will work out for the two of you, even if it's not what you expected or hoped for.

24594. wonkers2 - 10/28/2008 10:35:53 PM

iiibbb, ditto on the good wishes for a better day. You may be interested to know that I am representing a member of the Michigan Militia in a legal matter. He is an interesting character but a little scary. He is not happy with how he was treated by his employer and the unemployment agency. He seems to have a bit of a vigilante mentality. I haven't brought up the topic of gun control!

24595. wonkers2 - 10/28/2008 10:53:02 PM

Well, at least they aren't Bush supporters.

24596. jexster - 10/28/2008 11:00:09 PM

Damn I3...what a bitch...you'll get thru this fuck I am sure

I've still got a Job Jex... my wife was screwed over here and me taking this job was contingent on her having a job worthy of her degree. They reneged, so we're trying to make something happen to get us to the Northeast rather than the deep South. She's a yankee girl, so it's been a rough year.

24599. jexster - 10/29/2008 2:28:38 AM

Wonks will set yall up in Dee-troit

24600. wonkers2 - 10/29/2008 3:59:23 AM

Yeah...rrright!

24601. judithathome - 10/29/2008 4:33:08 PM

Good morning....got the news yesterday that Keoni needs a CT scan of his chest because an "abnormality" showed up on his annual x-ray.

Needless to say, I am bothered by this.
