Congrats on 10K, Charles. You've made a Spektorcal of yourself over the years.

laugh Thanks again, guys. My day has been a little off, so this definitely makes it brighter. I started off the day with a voicemail about possible fraudulent charges on my debit card. Usually it's when I forget or don't realize that I'm ordering something from the UK or somewhere else outside the US and I don't call my bank to let them approve the charge. This time I actually hadn't ordered anything foreign. The voicemail said Ireland, but the charge in my account history on the bank's website said Redwood, CA, so that was a little different. It was Electronic Arts, and while it wouldn't be unusual for me to order from them, it wasn't anything I'd ordered. So now another card is toast, and I need to go to one of the branches tomorrow to have a new one printed up.

After that, it should have been an easy day at work, but there were printer issues, and the extra project I was trying to finish didn't go smoothly at all. It wasn't anything new, but I kept forgetting bits and pieces, so I ended up having to go back and forth from the main storeroom to another room we keep supplies in. I was getting really frustrated after about the fourth trip between the two.

So yeah, just a weird day. Thanks for letting me come home to your warm comments!

Now we're talking. smile By the way, if you end up reading The Princess Bride, I'd love to hear what you think of it. I need to read it again sometime. At least now I know the final Wheel of Time book won't be out until January, so I'm not so rushed to re-read the series. I can fit other books in!

I too saw that the Wheel of Time series was finally finished, and thought about starting it.

Have you read the first two (of three) books of Patrick Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicles yet? If not, you need to do so now.

Yeah, I'll have to put The Princess Bride in my Kindle wishlist. Still keeping with my resolution to read at least a chapter of a book a day, haven't missed yet.

I haven't yet, but the first is in my Saved For Later on Amazon.com. I still plan on getting it! I can't right now considering my debit card issue, but I'll tell you what. It'll be the first thing I order after I get my new card tomorrow.

You're lucky that you can get a replacement card so quick. It was about 2 weeks before I could buy stuff on the Internet again after my card was compromised. I think I got the shakes and everything.

Considering the facts; tomorrow is acceptable.

I thought I could get around it and purchase the Kindle version of the book today by setting up my checking account itself as a payment option, but it seems to only be working on physical goods. I was able to preorder the new Cranberries album using my checking account, but when I tried to purchase the Kindle version of the book, it kept asking me to enter card info, never giving me the option of selecting my checking account, even after I went into my 1-Click settings and set it as my default payment option.

Tomorrow it is. And yeah, I'm definitely glad I can go in and have new cards printed up right at the bank now. Such a convenience.

That sucks Charles, my wife recently went through a similar ordeal when her wallet was stolen.

I had to get a new card and new number last month because of an overseas fraudulent charge. I also changed all of my passwords.
