The "Alone" Club

Anyway, they are going to be stuck at home for a few days. So, I ask do you have anything good in the freezer for a special NYE dinner. No they did not, as they were planning on going out with friends for dinner and then onto the friends home for game night.

Of course, they should not go to a store and pass it on. I told son I would go and pick something up, they could come by here, I would just hang the goodies on the front door. They all feel fine right now.

I go to the local chain grocery, know exactly what I want and get the job done.
I go to the front to check out and my credit card is declined. WHAT is going on.
I have to ask the clerk if I can use their phone as I do not have a cell. It is kind of like that old story, I have checks so I am not out of money??

So, I call the bank, oh yes, the card was put on a hold for possible fraud. How is that, I never filed a complaint. Yes Yes, we are sorry, we are fixing it right now. Try again in 5 minutes, okay.

So we wait 5 minutes and it still does not go through. By this time I am not only embarrassed but heated. I have 5lbs of snow crab thawing in my cart. Back to customer service to call the bank. I am on the phone with the bank again, I swing around to check the cart and there stand three policemen.

I turn back to the clerk and ask if they are here for me (in horror)! He rolls his eyes and says I don't have a clue. The bank is saying the card is fixed, so I hand it back to the clerk and say run it.

About that time a manager comes from the back and is speaking with the officers while I stand there shaking. The clerk says it went through, everything is fine. I tell the bank just to hold on, you may need to tell the police what is going on.

Then the officers and the manager are just laughing. Turns out the clerk had accidentally dialed 911 trying to get me an outside line to call the bank. The officers are required to respond to any 911 call even if it might be an accidental call. Yes, I slowly made my way out of the store, dripping crab juice all the way to the car. At least my son and his family will have a good laugh and NYE dinner.

Arg. This is why I have 2 credit cards,from different banks. Once, when traveling, I had a Citibank CC. Guess which card was not accepted at the airport cash machine.

Another time, also when traveling, the CC company put a hold on my card. What? You're not supposed to use your credit card while traveling? I had to rely on the kindness of the other people in my tour group, who were strangers.

Don't you dare!belayI love your posts!
You're a sweet, warm person, and I'd miss you if you took a powder. Ruthie, I don't comment on everything. I do comment, and most people don't "chat" with me either, if someone engages me, I respond to them. I just take it as it comes.

You're not allowed to leave. acuteWe'll unleash the hounds, track you down, and find you!

Mr. Lonely​

Lyrics

Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
Now I am so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
Wish I had someone to call on the phone
Now I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home
Letters, never a letter
I get no letters in the mail
I've been forgotten, yes, forgotten
Oh, how I wonder, how is it I failed
Now I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home

I had that 45 when I was a kid and I played it a lot 😀
 
Update on Talia. Veterinarian visit. The vet mentioned possibly inflammatory bowl disease vs. lymphoma now? I'm just not sure. Lab work was good. Decreasing prednisone dosing from 5mg to 2.5mg in one week and see how she does. Gives me some hope though I know the prednisone is not easy on the body. And cures nothing. Just controls symptoms.
