Dear Yahoo and some other stuff
Hiya everyone... anyone... it's me. I know what you're thinking, you're thinking "Hey Lavvie! How is your day going and why are you going to write about Yahoo?" I can practically HEAR you right now. Well, my day is going pretty good - went shopping, bought myself a bear, got some KICK ASS boots - with heels! I am 6'3 with them on. Chris is probably cringing! My mom's birthday today, so I called and she was actually able to talk to me for a few minutes, which is a big change. Where was I? OH! So, yeah, it was a pretty good day. The Yahoo thing... well, it started out being amusing, you know, 20 emails from myself to myself with subjects like "Your order" and "Re: Your order"... that was a couple of weeks ago. I just deleted 106 of 107 emails as SPAM. I'm SO over the amusement. It took me a few checks to suss the order of all of this, but I also looked at one email that was in SPAM and was "about my paypal account". I knew it was crap because that's not the account my paypal is attached to (I'm neurotic and I have 26 or so email accounts), but I tried to forward it to my lj email account because it was a fun SPAM (note the "BRAND NEW" part of the "Nokia Cell Phone"!)and got an odd message. I was unable to click the "back" button and something told me NOT to hit the link, so I closed out the mail and went back in a few times to figure out the order of things. Turns out that was a smart thing. Go me! Aaanyway, I think somehow the SPAM email was linked to ZEDO *cue Eevulz music*, but I don't know if it was the whole problem. I couldn't even forward the email to Yahoo or Paypal to warn them these people are doing this.. hmm.. maybe I will copy paste the message and the full headers to paypal ... Yahoo likely wouldn't give a shit anyway. So... here is my experience in pictures:
The Zedo warning did not arrive the first time I got the ominous message from... myself? Yahoo? Zedo? The guy who sent the SPAM and wasn't Zedo?
D'Arcey and Emmy are having breathing problems again, and I'm a little panicked because Tracy isn't in until Tuesday and poor Dr Abdalmalek never gets to see healthy pets from me. I think he's going to have to see them on Monday regardless. I don't know or trust the emergency vets to know what they are doing in the case of rats (rats being "exotic" pets). I have emergency syringes if they go into respiratory distress, but I REALLY don't want it to come to that. I'll stress a bit more on that.
Speaking of stress. I'm normally unflappable as a parent. Stuff comes up and I trust my kids to do the right thing when it counts. And they do, but a mis-communication today while shopping caused me to panic BIG TIME when I couldn't find Bunny for a while in the store. I flapped. C told me she had sent her in my direction in the store and I ended up (about 20 minutes after she said she was going to the bathroom) freaking and going to Customer service to page her. They paged her again and then she finally showed up out by the check out. I cried and smothered her with hugs and generally embarrassed the crap out of her. Luckily I was with Hilary, who KNEW I needed a hug when she came back from her OWN search of the store! She told Bunny she owed us 4 years - for the two years she took off of each of our lives! Bunny is young, but she looks older... she's curvy... She wouldn't ever be so stupid as to follow someone out of the store, and she is VERY feisty, but I know that things can happen, and if no one is looking.... Girls older than her have been snatched off the streets. I knew a woman whose husband worked the French and Mahaffy murders. There are a LOT of things that were done to them that you won't see in print (I'm not allowed to tell). No parent can hear things like that and not have the fear there all the time. And, well... anyway, all better now.
Now I need to find a place to put the bear. Pictures when taken.
