I've been gone for three days camping, and there's no way in hell I'm going to be able to catch up on LJ. If anything huge happened, could someone point me to it? Gracias!

Meanwhile, wtf, Sarah Palin resigned and Mark Sanford didn't? That's gotta be the polar opposite of what Republicans want to see happening. I haven't read much about it, but someone said Palin is upset with people for making fun of her kids? Well, yanno, I didn't see anyone screaming about it when Rush Limbaugh talked about how Chelsea Clinton was ugly, when her father was in office. So, yanno, don't try to act all wounded on that one, Sarahface, especially when you gave Hillary hell for objecting to the scrutiny during the campaign.

Ugh, tired. I need a weekend to recuperate from my weekend.

Seeing all those "Spoiler Free for Supernatural Season 5" icons makes me think I need one that says "Free Spoilers for Supernatural Season 5." Or, yanno, "Spoilers? GIMME."

Those of you who are using Google Chrome, what do you think of it? Is it better than Firefox?

Happy birthday, kyuuketsukirui! Hope you're having an awesome day. :D

Oh, wow, first Farrah Fawcett dies and now Michael Jackson too?

Man. :(

Okay, this is pretty much the best thing in my life right now. :D

Flist, help! I can't find my favorite potato salad recipe, and I need to make potato salad tonight. Do you have a favorite recipe you can share with a desperate (and absentminded) LJer?

Thank yoooooooooooooou! <3

The news out of Iran is terrifying. I so feel for the people there. Wish there was something we could do. :(

Happy birthday, marny_h96! Hope it's been a great one, sweetie. *hugs*

Fun fact -- identity theft is not a crime if the thief doesn't successfully steal anything. So, since I stopped the orders that were made from my account, they have nothing to go after him for. Nor do they have any way of going after him, even if he had gotten away with anything.

Does that seem wrong to anyone else?

Mind, I had to have a $35 stop payment put on the Paypal charge he made on eBay, but apparently that doesn't count.

Just call me Disillusioned and Disgruntled in NC.

I'm getting more and more excited about this show!

Okay, ebay and Paypal are sorted out. I'm running Spybot S&D, but is there something better in case it's a key logger? I'm so freaked out right now. It's like this guy is sitting inside my laptop watching me. DO NOT WANT.

Stupid little shit.

Fucker's in my Paypal and eBay accounts!

So, I believe I've regained control of my gmail account. I also deleted the bank card I had associated with Google checkout (which I use to pay for domain name hosting for Operation: Winchester).

Here's the asshole who hacked my Google accounts and charged nearly $1,000 to my bank card:

Steven [used my last name]
152 Centrale
Lasalle QC H8R2J4
Canada
(514) 239-6524 (probably fake?)

It looks like my friend Steven accessed my gmail account, used the Google checkout option to purchase a SmartPhone and high-priced blue jeans, then deleted the notification emails as soon as they showed up in my inbox. I happened to see the first "Thank you for your purchase" email while I was at work earlier, then my gmail refreshed itself and the notification was gone (not even in the trash.) Work internet had been wonky all day, and I chalked it up as a glitch, with a mental note to look deeper later on.

I was also on gmail when the second order notification showed up (I guess being an internet junkie was both my downfall and my salvation) -- another "thanks for your order" from a cellphone company I'd never heard of. It, too, disappeared as fast as it appeared, so I started digging. Both orders appeared on my account's order history. I changed the password on my gmail account (thank you, vichan for pointing me in the right direction -- I was freaking out at the time and couldn't figure out how to do it).

Then I called and had my bank card frozen.

Then I changed the gmail password again.

Then I deleted the bank card from the account entirely.

Then I changed the password for my Yahoo account, for good measure.

Then I called the two companies fuckwit Steven ordered from, both of whom were very helpful, very understanding and very sympathetic. One order is cancelled (and hey, Steven, didn't you bother checking that they shipped to Canada? Because that order would've been cancelled even if I hadn't called). The other will be cancelled first thing tomorrow, and the customer service person will call me back to confirm that happened.

The only thing I haven't figured out is how Steven the shithead got past the security question on my account. My father's middle name is pretty unusual, and I haven't used it for anything else.

Does anyone know if I should contact the police? Is there even any point?

And now, I'm going to go drink heavily eat a quart of ice cream change my password again.

Something weird is going on with my gmail account -- and I can't figure out how to change my password! Can anyone tell me where the hell they're hiding the change password option?

Standard Poodle puppy!



Kayla is a Standard Poodle whose breeder gave her to Carolina Poodle Rescue because she thought Kayla couldn't have any more puppies. Turned out Kayla actually was pregnant and gave birth shortly after arriving at Dreamweaver Farms. They're gorgeous pups! (Mom will be spayed once the puppies are weaned, btw, and puppies are adopted on a spay/neuter contract.)
