From yesterday:
Thanks for the post, George.  I think that is fine.  Do you know where you are going?

Do you mean in regards to the PM I sent you after the one you sent me?


Yes, that would be the one.

Then, I shouldn't have any trouble getting there. :)

Annabelle is pretty much back to normal, but for one thing: at present she neither wants to be near me or fights to get out of my arms if I try to hold her.  She also slept on my computer chair and would not come near my bed.

I hope she's not in discomfort or pain from her ordeal yesterday.

Billy Graham has died. As a kid, I was forced to watch his services every time they appeared on TV. I was not amused. I tried sleeping as a means of escape. Sometimes it worked. But I always associated him with something I didn’t want to do.

When I heard that, I looked it up.  For some reason I was thinking he'd died several years ago.  Maybe it was announced that he'd become seriously ill and then I never heard anything further?  Not sure.

Well, this is pretty cool.  With "Black Panther" just opening and me having seen it, I've seen (but not necessarily read) a lot of articles about the movie, and I came across this one earlier today and did read it:  A Complete Timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Photos).

Thanks.  I just emailed this to Keith, and me since we have the same address.  I forgot to tell him you liked "Black Panther".

I am home from Farinelli and the King, which I think I enjoyed.  I was moved by parts of it and confused by others.  I really think Mark Rylance is amazing, but I felt his part could have been trimmed so we got a little more from several other characters.  The design was gorgeous and the artificial theatricality of the staging was stunning.  The baroque ensemble was amazingly good, but a little Händel foes a long way at times and I would ave been happier with maybe two less.  The last aria was heartbreaking.

Jane, in answer to your question last night about whether I used to wear ski pants in the snow, no. I usually wore jeans with leggings underneath. Once the jeans get wet, I'd get cold. Thus the need for waterproof pants. My favorite winter coat was quite long, but too nice to wear when digging out my car. Then I wore a parka and jeans/leggings.

Here is the front flap copy of the new book, which will hopefully allay any fears of a horror story or scary book :)

GEE is the story of a headstrong, willful and most peculiar girl who navigates her way from the early years of the twentieth century, through nine decades of living.  It’s a life filled with the history of those decades, a life filled with wonder, sorrow, happiness, fate, unrequited love, and all the rest of it. She’s a girl with an indomitable spirit, humor, strength, and a unique perspective of the world and life.

It is also the story of another young woman navigating her way through life in the early twenty-first century.  It’s a very different world and a very different kind of journey.   

GEE is the tale of these two women, a tale told with warmth and humor.  It’s a portrait of lives connecting across generations in ways that are sure to surprise and enchant readers of all ages.

Thanks for the answer MR BK....and the addendum DR JANE.....most interesting.....

Nothing that exciting here - my town Mooresville - was name for its founder Samuel Moore.....whose house still stand in the middle of town, across the street from my bank....it is now five apartments....and a business called Nails by Sidney & His Girlfriends....which I have never seen open....

Tumwater (http://www.ci.tumwater.wa.us/about-tumwater/history) "is the oldest permanent American settlement on Puget Sound."  The city bio says, "When the City was founded in 1845, it was named New Market. By 1863 the city was known as “Tumwater”, the Chinook jargon word for a waterfall." 

I was told that it was named because of the "tumbling waters" of the Deschutes River, which kind of makes sense.

Jane, in answer to your question last night about whether I used to wear ski pants in the snow, no. I usually wore jeans with leggings underneath. Once the jeans get wet, I'd get cold. Thus the need for waterproof pants. My favorite winter coat was quite long, but too nice to wear when digging out my car. Then I wore a parka and jeans/leggings.

I needed snow clothes for playing with the boys when they were young. 

When we lived in Pennsylvania legging worn over jeans were popular.  On sunny days I would wear long underwear, jeans, and my leggings and be comfortable while sledding.  I loved those days.

You know, you can always bring back that fashion.

;)

I did wear them a good while after they went out of fashion.  I don't think they would look as good on me as they did back then ;D

Interesting.  I like the history of the name.

Since I mostly sat at the computer or cleaned, without walking much, I just did a very fast 3,000 step march around here.  I needed to move and get my heart beat up.  While still pathetic for me I have now done the recommended 10,000 steps for the day.

Well, I was FINALLY able to create a new login and password for my credit card and log into my online account.  Halle-frekin'-looya!!  I also found that all the fraudulent cash advances and fees have been reversed, so I won't have to pay those!  AND I was able to make a payment on the legitimate stuff that I still do owe. :D

I called the credit card company and had got some very helpful help from a woman and as of right now, things look good...not perfect, however.  The balance that currently shows in the online account is about one third of what it should be! :-\ I should owe a lot more than what shows! 
Title: Re: THE SHADOW KNOWS
Post by: George on February 21, 2018, 09:03:01 PM
I was able to download my January statement before all the fraud sh*t happened, and that shows the correct amount that I owe and the correct minimum payment due.  I paid about twice that, just to make sure. 
Title: Re: THE SHADOW KNOWS
Post by: George on February 21, 2018, 09:03:15 PM
Also, the helpful woman did confirm that even though a payment was due by February 9, because the fraud sh*t was happening, I won't get any late charges for making the legitimate payment now.  Whew!! 
Title: Re: THE SHADOW KNOWS

Today was an ok day until about 4:45 when I received a phone call from an e trembly irate attorney who blames me personally for stalling a closing and for "flooding" his in box with "billions" of emails  "making absurd demands"

He put me on a 3 way call with another attorney where he continued screaming about my ignorance, incompetence and malicious attempt to destroy the lives of everyone involved with this transaction "in a misplaced sense of self importance and power"

Every time I attempted to speak he screamed "shut up" "shut up"

Why did I not hang up you might ask? Because I have been trying to get this man to respond to my emails for nearly 3 weeks.  I did this by emailing him once a day for  12 days ( the billions of emails)
