My Latest Dramas LOL

Now I take some responsibility for the mess with the PayPal debit card. I will never again hand off my grocery bags to someone else without emptying them out completely.
However, whatever my personal responsibility for this mess is or isn't, I feel that the the Safeway employee should be fired at the very least.
I would be even happier if she could be charged with attempted identity theft and attempted debit card fraud. Attempted identity theft and attempted fraud when you are in a position of handling money all day long every day long should be a reason for termination from ANY job.

Life In the Landlady Lane LOL

That was the worst of the bunch in terms of 'he knows where I live, and has my phone number, etc" but other than 2 legitimate responses, all I've gotten in response to the offline and online postings of the room for rent --found here (http://bend.craigslist.org/roo/2456521208.html) -- is large loads of what the bull left behind
His reply:
Also the spelling errors and grammatical errors throughout his reply make it highly unlikely that he is an archaeologist.
I also wonder how someone supposedly in Israel thought to access the Bend (Oregon, USA) Craigs List.
The next person refused to answer my question about his age;
His reply:
The first email seems to be very informative but once you look in-depth it tells you nothing of any importance to the issues at hand.

Before I give you any further information, I need to know several things: Are you over 40 years of age? Are you male or female? Are you disabled (the place is not ADA compliant).Simple questions -- and the age is the most important one
I can tell you this much: the mobile home park is one mile from the nearest shopping center Grocery Outlet and Rite-Aid). It is 2.3 miles from the nearest shopping mall (Bend Plaza, with Ace and Safeway)
I look forward to your reply to the above questions
His reply:
My names are Henry Tudor, I am an archeologist and I have visited all most all the countries in the world. Presently I just finished a research in Israel with my colleagues ,the research should be my last research in that field and I am leaving the field for the main time.
My take is due to my decision about my relocation my colleagues have decided that I should relocate to united state of America which to them is more secured.
Based on this fact they have decided to take care of my first two months rent in the united state of America and before my departure they have promised a sent forth party for me.
My challenge is they can only pay via international money order, united state money order, cashier check and a certified check, I really don’t know how this can work out for you but if it will doHmm what part of 40 and over (both in the ad and in my reply to him) doesn't this scammer understand?
send the following information in other to proceed with your payment.
NAME:
CONTACT ADDRESS:
CONTACT PHONE NUMBER {MOBILE}:
Thanks
n/b:i am a male and i am 36yrs old.I am not disabled
Also the spelling errors and grammatical errors throughout his reply make it highly unlikely that he is an archaeologist.
I also wonder how someone supposedly in Israel thought to access the Bend (Oregon, USA) Craigs List.
The next person refused to answer my question about his age;
Hello,
I saw you ad on the site and I'm very much interested in renting from you. I was born in and raised in the UK 26 yrs ago. I'm a matured, Vivacious, career driven individual, I don't smoke and drink on very
sparse occasions (probably won't even consume up to 5 liters in year) which might be buoyed something very special like a job promotion or maybe a best friend’s wedding (lol).
I am also not opinionated and will never condemn anyone for their sexual, religious inclinations or what so ever primordial variables. I think the day we perceive ourselves beyond such clouts, there
would be world peace and visceral love.
I plan on staying for at least 3 years minimum because my work contract is for two years and I will be working for Ad store consumer electronics as a Data Base Administrator. So I should be able to sign a year contract if there is
Kindly respond to my emial at edited ,with the full details and exact location,according with the bestMy reply:
offer.It'll be appreciated.
Before I answer your email in detail, I do need to know one thing: are you only 26? Or did you move from the UK 26 years ago? This is an adult only park and you need to be over 40 to live here.Again, very simple questions with again the age issue being the most important.
His reply:
Does anybody see an answer to my question on his age? I didn't think so. And I find it highly suspicious that 'his last email was compromised' the very same day that he sent an email from it.Hi, I haven't heard back from you, hope your place is still available? I'll be esteemed to rent from you. Kindly send all corresponding responses to this email as my last address was compromised.I look forward to your response.
The first email seems to be very informative but once you look in-depth it tells you nothing of any importance to the issues at hand.

Consider Your Alternatives
My truck (a 2000 Chevrolet s10 pickup, see photos at the bottom of the post) has been giving me fits since February 2011.
The battery had to be replaced in February 2011, the alternator had to be replaced in April 2011, and the battery had to be replaced again in May 2011.
A friend loaned me the money for the first battery. A local charity paid for the alternator (and installed it); they also talked WalMart into exchanging the battery even though we didn't have the receipt.
The darn thing died again as I was backing into the carport on May 10 2011 (the park manager had to push it the rest of the way into the carport while yours truly sat behind the wheel and thought really nasty thoughts!)
The assumption is that now its the voltage regulator that is the problem. They aren't that expensive but when you have ZERO money, even $100.00 might as well be a million bucks!
Since then I have been taking the city bus, walking, and cadging rides from other park residents as well as Larry and Colleen (the park manager and his wife).
Yesterday while looking out the bathroom window at the rear end of the truck, I had a bright idea. At least I hope its a bright idea!
We have a park-wide yard sale next month so I think I will try to sell the truck and buy an alternative vehicle. By alternative vehicle I mean a moped or a motorcycle or a scooter or an electric bicycle (yes there are such things, I've seen them while walking to the bus stop) or a good old fashioned 10-speed bicycle.
The bus is fine but it only runs every 40 minutes (every 80 minutes on Saturday and not at all on Sunday) and some areas of town don't have any bus service at all (such as the office of the local newspaper).
I had never even thought of replacing the truck with an alternative form of transportation. This solution would solve a lot of problems
1) Gas costs so much right now that even if the truck was running I couldn't afford to fill the tank
2) Any of the alternatives are more environmentally friendly than the truck
3) Resale value for my truck is around $4700.00 and I will knock off $700.00 for the voltage regulator. I can get a NICE alternative vehicle for $4000.00!!

Now That's COOL!!
Blogger came up with a application that allows their pages to show properly on mobile phones. Now if WordPress would only do the same thing for my other blog, I'd be ecstatic.
And thats all for today from the world of Suzy (Suzy feels like she's catching the flu--or at the least a very bad case of something!--so she's going back to bed).
Hopefully tomorrow's post will be a bit more informative and 'useful' but as for today--today was a total waste of makeup (or it would be if I wore any)
