Do the poultry have to be picked cleaned and cooked?

I ordered some bras for my wife from Amazon.. She won't order from online sellers. .Now I get advertising for women's underwear even on this site... very risqué' according to advertising of a few years ago. And I know I can become a contributor but the last time I did try my Paypal got hacked. Once bitten...

I do not have paypall, I use a check. He does not seem to have a problem cashing it!

Got to live up to my Luddite status!

If they have your information to send you a text message, they should also have your address!

My wife believes the Sisterhood. Both her sisters said to open the text message. She used our credit card for the $0.99 charge for "Picture Memory". One hour later she was talking to the Fraud Division at the Credit Card company.

With stress in her voice, "Why do I have to do it?" My reply, "You made the transaction. You will enjoy talking to those Fraud People." She did not enjoy the foreign lands conversation.

Ten days later we have new credit cards. I don't believe she will respond to text or email messages with our credit card number or personal address again. I just hope she doesn't call the Sisterhood again for confirmation.

Two days ago I spoke too soon. Received, reported, and blocked a USPS test message with a gobbledegook string of numbers as the source. They never give up.

They never give up.

Here's why . . .

I had the "Hi, how are you doing heartemoji" text from a number I didn't recognize this morning. I deleted it without looking at all of it. About 90 minutes later I got "Are you busy? Text me back when you can. (more hearts)" Only one woman in the US would text me something like that, and she has a different number, so it went down the "Delete and Report Junk" hole.

LVSteve... you should have texted her back with hearts and flowers saying you want to know what she is wearing because you are naked with a picture of some guy looking over his naked shoulder...with the message that for a charge of 99 cents she can see the rest of the pictures....Well it sounds good!
