I just had my credit card hijacked.I found out today as i was trying to pay my cable TV bill over the phone like I usually do.

So after that news I quickly call my CC company to see what happen.

My CC company put a block on it after it was compromised last Sunday with a charge from a company like Paypal in Germany .I never heard or dealt with the company before.

Lucky that I have fraud protection on my card and they took care of it and send me a new card in a couple of days.

The only thing I worried about is the sale of 24K from Warner Music going through.
My CC company said that Warner Music already put the charge on my card before this BS happen.I was so happy to hear the lady said that the $105 bucks was already charged to me probably last week before Sunday.

But I notice my shipment said it was billed today 09/24/2014.

They could pick up my card info from online or at the stores I shop at.

I dont like to shop online because of this reason but its the way now for shopping.

I have no idea how those idiots got my info but I will keep a watch out now.

I looked up the info online about the company that hijacked my card.
Alot of people had the same thing happen.

So, I'm stupidly excited for Halloween! We're all going as zombie Disney characters and my costume arrived today! I'm Peter Pan, my (sort-of-but-not-quite-yet) Boyfriend is Captain Hook, we have a Tinkerbell, Cruella DeVille, Alice, Belle, Pocahontas and Minnie Mouse going to. It's going to be so much fun.

I'm well aware I'm a child. So glad Halloween is in half-term. I couldn't be teaching about the Industrial Revolution before this night out!

Today is a very special day for me. On this day, January 6,2009 I decided it was time to stop my crazy way of smoking marijuana 24/7. I smoked pot daily for 30 years.I never had a problem with alcohol but decided to never again have another drink as well. On this day, January 6, 2015 I am drug and alcohol free for 6 years. I remember not even being able to make it through one hour without getting stoned.

Congrats Mark. Its hard to kick any habit.I tried pot years ago and never got into it and made me drowsy and fall asleep .Thank goodness I did not caught on .Booze was a different story.Since I never liked the taste of beer I enjoyed the sweet tasting booze which taste like soda pop to me and later it kicked me in the ass when I tried to walk.LOL...

I kissed that habit good buy 25 plus years ago .

BINGO.

I got zero tolerance with those people.Why should I go home smelling like a drunk and did not have a drop.

Also I can add of losing friends,relatives ,family members do to drinking driving and health issues because of drinking.I have a friend that I grown up with which he went into the dry out center a few times and still doing it.Its to bad I cant help him with it.He's the same age as me and I known him since we were toddlers.went to school and graduate together.

Seen all that and I said thats enough .The booze is not going to take me hostage and kill me or somebody else.

I can sympathizes I had Eveything compromised in the Sony hacking license,bank account, passport social security number all things used as ID to work on films they are paying for one year of credit watch, and the FBI insisted I freeze my credit for several years,because if this thing with north Korea is not a PR stunt gone wrong then all the IDs from all the employees were probably sold to Russia and China and they are smart enough to know to wait on it before using it because it will be a watch for at least a year ... you're much better shopping online with a credit card or in a store than a debit card you have more protection using your credit card ,a debit card is the same as cash most banks will do nothing if something happens

This week was plumbing repair week here.

First I had to fix the furnace be replacing the condensation pump with pumps out the water out of the dehumidifier bucket.

Second .I had to replace the toilet float valve because it was hissing along and wasting water.

Third .As I was turning off the main water valve I notice the water pressure regulator was dripping around the diaphragm seal and the set screw which mean the diaphragm went south. Tonight the new unit was installed.Now pressure testing and checking for leaks.

Water pressure regulator regulates the high street water pressure down to 50 to 75 pounds.It conserves water too and also it keeps high pressure off your home fixtures.

Plumbing was one of the trades that I was going to get in years ago besides electronics.I should of takin the route.

The total cost was about $175 bucks for all the parts which is a cost of a FM tix.
Probably save about 350 bucks on labor charges from a plumber .
