I'll stay in winter for awhile too! I'm just now getting going on some winter projects. It's been so mild it seems like it should be later, but we've got a ways to go til spring. I imagine we'll have January in February and/or January in March since we had August in October! lol

Hi FujiDave.

It is still only January, stop wishing my winter away from me!

Sorry. But my jonquils seem to be doing it no matter how I scold them!

I would never do that. I will happily wish all MINE to you however!

Send it over!

Bah, what do jonquils know?









What are jonquils?

 

[vintagesnaps]

Little daffodilly looking plants. They should still be hibernating, we got freezing rain over the weekend, that'd get 'em to knock it off with the trying to be springy!

This must be Terri's!

That's them! Little sob's, they usually appear in Mid-February, so seeing a bright yellow bloom yesterday was a mite disconcerting. Too early!

It's supposed to be in the 60's, here, next week.

So last weekend someone tried to use my debit card on line, then yesterday 4 transactions on my credit card that were not mine - (cards not lost or stolen, but now cancelled), then my regular barber decides to cut off all my hair so I now look like an old toothbrush, then today I was told I'm being made redundant.

Think I need a stiff drink before the weekend.

The goods news is that the credit card company have just refunded the fraudulent payments, but my hair has not grown back yet.

Have one for me. too.

Maybe a card scanner attached to an ATM' fuel pumps are typical targets in this area. It could even be someone working at a shop that scans the card. We've had that happen a few times; luckily the Credit Union is on top of things and we can get a new card in a couple of hours (during normal business hours.

There are also small devices that can read a card in close proximity -- like walking very close to you. I took an introductory cyber security class a while back and got to see one in action.

Those close proximity scanners are about in the UK as well .
I have had the smart contact less chip in mine disabled.
It causes my a few problems but to me it worth the extra hassle knowing that I have to put my card into a reader before it can be used
