Mine are clear so far but thanks for the warning.

If you happen to get a $29.99 from colonparty.org, I'll pay you back.

I had my ebay password pwned early this year... which freaked me a bit, since ebay is tied so closely to PayPal.

F'ing financial bots.

Isn't this exactly what that one sci-fi writer wrote about when laying down the Prophecy of Jeremiad in his seminal trilogy? I thought I remember something about colon700... Well, if not, then he should have. Either way, we're doomed.

Apparently,

I've gotten hit by them for 3 cents. That's right 3 whole pennies. I cancelled my card today. I called my bank and told me they had already reversed one of the charges. *WHEW* What would I do without that penny? I called the company also and the guy on the phone told me that his phone is ringing off the hook. I just hope that this doesn't turn out worse than it currently seems to be.
