I like that Sarge!!

Hoping I wasn't scammed, got an email for a credit card I have, went to pay the bill and it didn't recognize my pc, not unusual since the move. But then it hung me up after I gave too much info...got an email right away saying I had changed stuff, but the place that took me too looks different from the place the other one took me to...cancelled the card and will call the bank first thing in the AM. cwap.

You can't be too careful these days. You handled it perfectly.

good job you cancelled your card.

call them back up and ask if any transactions have been done between the time you put in the info, and the time you cancelled it

there's no one there but the automated people Harm, has to wait for the AM.

According to that nothing has been charged, but they can't be sire of the past 24 hours.

I was stupid and gave my mother's maiden name, my date of birth and the last 4 digits of my social, I'm worried about more than this particular card at the moment!!

usually there is a number for lost & stolen cards - which is not automated. fingers crossed for you

I tried the content aware fill in PS 10 (CS5), but I ended up with way too much junk. I used the clone tool instead. It takes a little longer, but gives a lot more control.

So I could do it with the program I have. Good to know. Now I just need to figure it out.

uggggghhhh hope you can get it all fixed up without much trouble.

So what are some ways to get a new website noticed by google quickly? Or is there such a thing?

BUCKY, nice flower effect!

We know most of that*shrug* That sucks though. Can you see where you went. The address is usually the give away with an alteration from the original.

Maybe PM Diane, I think she did a bunch of stuff to get noticed. I have no idea how but there are ways.

Nice flahr Bex. I noticed it right away....so it must be better than mine!

Darn storms. Better shut down again.

You don't have power protection?

We have a couple we're friendly with down here, Jerry and Jo. They're also retired from the real estate wars in Silicon Valley, and we manage to get together with them around once a week for lunch. They both grew up in rural Iowa where they met, and he is one of 12 kids. These are real salt-of-the-earth people, and they are probably our dearest friends. They're about 10 years older than we are, and are married about 60 years.

It's inevitable that when you get 4 people together and they range in age from 67 to just about 80, the conversation will eventually turn to the aches and pains associated with advancing years.A few weeks ago I was grousing about my achy knees, and Jo said she had something she rubs on her joints that really helps. She can only get it when they travel north to visit their kids, but she would make it a point to pick me up some.

Today we had lunch with them (CPK), and they had just returned from NorCal. She presented we with a bag, and it had a bottle in it. I didn't look at it till I got home, and it turned out to be a bottle of horse liniment. She swears by it, and uses it frequently and copiously. I am amazed I never noticed the smell, because when I opened the bottle and took a whiff, there was no way I was putting any of that on me.

Wow!! That stuff is really powerful!!

I suspect I'll try some eventually. She did go to some trouble to get it for me, and however bad it might be, it would be inconsiderate not to give it a go.
