Might you have a friend or family member who wears the same size shoe that may have a pair to give to you? I had to toss my own walking shoes out (seams split and soles were starting to come apart-6mo. 10d of use) and took over wearing my mother's smaller sized runners (I cannot find new pair in discount store and I even checked thrift stores on Friday just in case).

someone knocked on my door this morning...i was upstairs, it took less than a minute for me to open the door & see the delivery guy DRIVE AWAY!

:mad: :mad: :mad:
he left a note saying he,d be back on Tuesday. jackass!

Sorry to read of that situation! At least you know when he's likely to try again tomorrow but you'll be waiting.

Leaking ballpoint pens--when I'm writing late after bedtime and notice the ink is on my fingers, my rulers, my clothing.
I also had one pen run out of ink late on Thursday but I did not have a backup pen. I will be taking two pens with me from now on.

Yes it's true I really don't love your dog
and sidewalks were made for people not dogs.

P.S. : I used to like dogs before their masters became so ignorant.

I always kept my dog on a leash.
He carried it in his mouth.
He also knew how to
behave.

That is messed up. But most bylaws start at 7am. I'd be returning the favor late at night. OR...... politely tell my neighbor that 7am is a tad early on a Sunday morning.

I’ve always struggled with trying to understand what items are taxable and which ones are not, but this morning’s shop was the best. At Freshco bought 8 Yop smoothies 4 mango peach non taxable, but the 4 mixed berries were taxed!!

goodness gracious!! forget I even mentioned this, I certainly will never share another experience like this on sc again.

Then he checked the other 2 cards, they had both been stripped of their balances as well.

How lucky was it that I STILL had the receipt!? That was actually a fluke that I had kept it.
So after the whole telephone, email thing...sent attachments to them of the goods.....I wait now for them to reimburse me.

How on earth do fraudsters do this? These cards were still in the cardboard wrapping and still had the little thing over that would reveal a pin code. Clever thieves!!

@walkonby I hope you get this resolved and get you $300 back

wow, that's awful
hope you get good news
*fingers crossed*

Rule #1 with such cards ... check the balance after 24-48 hours to verify correctness. I do it every time. If anything is amiss fix it early, not later. IMHO
