Technology v old fashioned

Hi everyone
Well you must be wondering what the title is all about.  Well ...............

Hubby's card got skimmed!!!!!!!!

Lucky for us its a Visa Debit card in which we only keep a small amount of cash. 

Makes me seriously want to go back to the old-fashioned "Cash Only".

Actually that is how we have been operating over the last couple of years - the Visa part was only for those situations that require it, like accomodation bookings.

Why don't all these so brilliant people who come up with these scams do something worthwhile - what a waste of their brains!!

Anyway, while out an about over hubby's break, guess who I saw??????

I'm sure this is Santa on holidays having fun!!!!

I will post more about the engine he is driving another time

And I may have mentioned it before (huge smile) but hop on over and check out The Garden Bell for her Give-Away.  And yes I am trying to score more entries in her Give-Away.  She's almost at her 100!!!!!

Which makes me think (I know it does hurt), I find Kate's blog a laugh a lot of the time and experiences that I can relate to.  What I am thinking is that no-one - and that includes me - would find my blog funny at all.  I seem to lose the little funny-side I have when I write things down.  I become all serious, which I naturally am.  But I love to laugh and I love to make others laugh.  So there is something I need to work on when I write these posts. 

And did you notice - that was very serious!!!!!  :-)

Another thought out of nowhere - do other countries corner stores sell their chocolates from their fridges where the soft-drinks are (like Coke)?????  In Australia you will always find them there - they would be puddles other wise.  What made me think about this is a current TV advertisement for "Chilled Mars Bars"

Bye for now
