Silliness So what are you doing RIGHT NOW? - Page 2165

Right now I am trying to figure out how my Amex card was used locally here a few days after I left to go north!

I seem to remember fuelling up the car the day before or on the day (20th Sep) and there is a fuel charge there dated the 24th. But the others I can't remember. Especially the $180 I don't remember spending at the hardware store 4 days after I left. Bloke has a card on my account, but the charges he makes are listed separately.

Good thing we don't have Turkey eating season here.

Spoiler:

I don't much care for eating it. Although I like cranberry sauce and cranberry juice

I'm beginning to think that I need to keep a record of my credit card use. I really am sloppy about that. But in the past year there just seems to be several charges that I don't remember making. None were for any major amount, which is why I never followed up on them... a few dollars here, a few more there... Usually less than $20. But it makes me wonder if some very clever scammer is taking just small amounts from a LOT of different cards, rather than trying to make off with a big score from just one...

All my unremembered charges are at least at places I do go to. But that may be the problem.

I am watching in horror at the news. Look what someone did to a kitty (who looks a lot like Mr M)

Well, I guess they aren't really porkers

.

Max is 7, and he is 14 pounds or 6.35 kilograms.

Sebastian is only 6 months old, and he is probably around 7 pounds, or 3.18 kilograms.

I will post up some pics when I get home. The only ones I have here at work are from when we got Sebastian, and he was only 6.5 ounces!

I just finished uploading all the pictures I took this year on my blog. For some weird reason it didn't automatically generated thumbnails for the UK pictures so that took a while to sort out.

"Needless Alley" -- I love it! Cute little hotel room too. Looks like a fun trip (I looked at the UK trip)

Bilbo1967 · 11-09-2011, 04:18 PM

Did you really go on holiday to Wolverhampton?

Why?

Good deal!

So lots of happy faces here!

He seems OK and happy now, but I will be watching for signs of pain like back arching and I will give him drugs if necessary. the vet thinks he may suffer when the weather gets cold.

Good news on the feline front, also!

Just hope Mr. M's pain isn't anything serious.

Rumpelteazer · 11-09-2011, 04:31 PM

Yes I did. I studied at the university there and the hotel in Wolverhampton is a lot cheaper that in Birmingham or Coventry, plus it's right next to the bus and train station. For me it was a trip to visit old places again, plus some new ones (I can thoroughly recommend the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter).

I'm thinking of having the Needless Alley sign printed out big.

I just reread my post and realized it sounded a little rude. Sorry.

I merely meant that Wolverhampton isn't typically on a UK visitor list of places to visit so wondered why you ended up there.

I used to live not too far from there (Cannock) and have spent a few nights out in Wolverhampton. Always had a good time.

His pain is not stopping him from being a cat. It would be better if it gave him a clue as to why he is having pain. Then maybe he would be able to prevent the next lot of pain he will inevitably have because he keeps doing silly cat things.

Right now

have realised that it is the 10th of November and I still haven't finished this web site. So no more playing on MR and down to work!

Maybe after I have a coffee!

badgoodDeb · 11-09-2011, 05:02 PM

Yeah, I read "1984" some while back, and felt it was enough "Crime and Punishment" for me. Didn't much care for it!
