So a couple weeks ago my paypal account was hacked and someone tried to do a couple transactions. Filed a dispute with paypal and my bank returned the transactions unpaid but I got a couple overdrafts. They were nice enough to refund those for me though.

Today I find my ebay account is hacked also. Arrrgh! Ebay caught that also so no harm no foul I guess. I think I may need to reopen a new ebay account though just to be safe and as soon as paypal gets off their dead ***** I am closing that sucker for good. This is the second time in a year they have caused me big headaches.

And on a more positive note all my parts showed up today so tomorrow I fix Lynns car. There were also duplicate parts so I get to return some and get some money back. Part of what I ordered was a kit. It included parts that I ordered separately because the description of the kit did not tell me what all the gaskets were. Another positive. Things are looking up!

Have to get up early. Going to let the puppies out and then heading to bed. Let ya know tomorrow how the repair goes. Wish me luck!

it's a great day to wake up to!!

fever broke at 4:30am, after getting 13 hours of sleep. the bed is soaking wet, and i lost 17 lbs, but temp is back down to 95.6, compared to 99.8 at 3 pm yesterday.

i am still a little light headed, and my chest feels like an elephant is sitting on it.

Mornin' folks. Yeah, I made it back from Jersey. It was a good trip really, lots of learning about the next greatest cellular technology, Christmas Party, face-time with folks that are normally voices on a phone or words in an email, etc.

Then came time to come home. My later flight was cancelled, and the earlier one they got me on was delayed. Then I get to my seat and there are a bunch of loud kids like from that new MTV show... Fortunately I had my in-ear noise-blocking headphones and something to listen to for a couple hours.

I didn't know you were building a garage, Lisa. If it's in the cards, I'd make the trip up 35.

Right now, the truck is running great, but I think my turbo decided to start spitting oil into my intake. I'll look at it this weekend.

Thanks for the sig quote, Lisa! I know I got it in a round-about way, but it was waaaaay too good to pass up.

Morning everyone.

Think I'm gonna take the dog to Petco so she can go from 0 to retard in 5 seconds and make a fool out of herself like she always does.

Yikes Tom. You get sick too much. Start taking airborne, it'll boost your immune system. Sounds like it sucked big time. 95.6 is a cold resting temp, sounds like me my resting temperature is just above 96 degrees. Most people are right around 98.

Glad you made it back safe Joe...despite the annoying plane ride. I friggin hate airplanes.

I need to get moved, and buy a house first, but yea, I'll happen. I'd be glad to have your help!! I better buy a big place to make room for all these powerstrokes.

The sig, well, its the truth. No denying it. Might want to get that turbo figured out Joe, doesn't sound good.
