Default So today really sucked!!

About 8am this morning I found out that someone got my debit/mastercard number and completely wiped out all my checking and savings account.

So my bank is starting an investigation to prove it wasn't me.


So tonight I drink as I am officially poor!!!!

Yeah you'd probably think that.

I was messing with my scanner and picked up my neighbor's cordless phone just as he was reading his cc# and expiration date to the florist to order flowers for his wife for v-day. If I was an *******, my car would be cammin and on a 12-bolt...along with a few other goodies.
