Check your credit card if you bought it with one, some have purchase protection for that.

Just got an email that my payment method for a streaming service had expired, the card needed replaced…

I thought I’d canceled that 6+ months ago. $42+ down the drain.

I missed the memo that my antivirus didn’t renew bc it was on a card I closed a few months ago. :grimacing: So while trying to renew I bought the wrong thing, then I saw a bundle that had that wrong thing already as part of it. (I bought Bitdefender VPN when I meant to buy Bitdefender Total Security, which includes VPN.) So I contacted customer service and they refunded me the double purchase in the form of extending the renewal by a few months. :man_shrugging: At least we’re protected from Nigerian princes now. :thatsracist:

WTF? Costco was a madhouse. People swarmed the samples like there’s a famine.

That’s been my experience pretty much any time I have ever stepped foot in a Costco. It is impossible to navigate aisle entrances because there are so many people hovering for their free sample.

I bet it was the Halloween shoppers. Monday is normally a quiet day.

I got a buddy that calls it Ukrainian lunch. Notice that he’s Ukrainian.

Kitten gets out for the 32nd time.

Me, for the 31st time: “just let him run around a little, he’ll come back.”
Family, first 31 times: NO, HE’S A KITTEN, HE’LL RUN AWAY, WE GOTTA GET HIM IN NOW OR HE’LL THINK IT’S OK!"
[Proceed to spend 15-30 minutes or more running after the cat, because he thinks it’s a game.]

Family, 32nd time: “OK, maybe let’s let him run around a little, he’ll probably come back.”
[Cat comes back in ~10 minutes]

I’d believe that if I saw a lot of carts with candy but nope.

It was fluffin’ hot and humid Thursday, but tonight the temp is gonna drop to freezing, so I went into the back yard to harvest the rosemary and thyme for some drying in the oven. :cold_face:

Tell me more about your compost piles. :popcorn:
Is it really plural?
In every house we’ve owned we’ve bought a compost bin & then sold the house & left the bin there.
This time, we got this one: Cedar Compost Bin | Gardener's Supply

i guess fun is relative

How the heck does my wife manage to take more stuff for a 6 day vacation than she does for a month with her family?

In related news…my 26-ish year streak of not checking bags has come to an end.

Yeah, we like the kind with the open bottoms, so of course once they get going, they’re hard to move. We started getting a rat problem with one, so we started a new one on the other side of the yard, with chicken wire on the bottom. Haven’t maintained the first in a while, so it may not be compost anymore for all I know.

I can’t get dumpster rats to party with me, so you know I’m no fun.

I spilled coffee on my shirt this morning. Black shirt, so no problem. Then I dripped toothpaste on my shirt.
