[Yummm]

Same thing happened to me about a year ago. Someone charged about $2,500 to my Capital One card. I looked up the name of the vendor & found it was for some company that sold industrial pumps or something like that. CapOne took care of it immediately.

[And people wonder why]

My girlfriend & I had a similar situation on Saturday. We were sitting at Friendly's trying to enjoy our a meal. In the back was a birthday party for what looked like 4-5 year olds. There were a few parents there. There was one little girl who came making this horrible, grating, banshee-like howl over & over. What did her mother do, you ask??? Told her to stop....which lasted for a hot 10 seconds. Even after receiving several evil glances from myself & other patrons, she still kept it up. A few of the dads with the group sat there giggling like it was funny. She eventually shut up after the ice cream was brought out.

 

If I ever, EVER, acted like that in public, I can't imagine what would've happened. I lived in fear of divine retribution from my father, although the man never laid a hand on me in anger. It was just the thought of what might happen if I stepped out of line that made me behave. That and the fact that my Dad, though only a hair under six feet tall, may as well have been ten feet tall to me as a kid.

 

Luckily I was blessed with a good kid who doesn't act up in public. I really don't need much discipline with her, but when I use the "Dad" voice, she knows to straighten up.

[Stuck in the 80`s]

I'm with you too, Viggen. I haven't found any bands that I really liked since the late 80's-early 90's (my high school years). One of the only radio stations I can get on my radio at work plays a lot of the current crap with a little of the "classic" rock that I like. It's basically the lesser of several evils.

 

I grew up on 80's hair & metal bands with some of the 70's rock that my older sister listened to. I don't admit to too many people, but I'm a closet Go-Go's fan as well . If only I go back in time.....
