this is my last dog. Up at 4 to go outside. Get up, promptly step in the thoughtfully placed Yule log. Clean that up. Go downstairs, clean up the piss all over the rug. Shut dog in kennel as I'm through with dog for the night. 15 minutes later, dog starts barking and wakes up baby. Hate dog

A suspicious charge yesterday plus my being in Tucson tripped their fraud detection. Upside: no suspicious charges actually made it through (yet). Downside: need to wait a week or so for a new card. at least they caught it!
Glad they caught it! Chances are that they'll have your new card for you in the next day or two. I think ddeuddeg got his replacement overnight! They want you to be able to use it! But you are in Tucson . . . will it be delivered to your home? If so, therein lies the problem. . . Good luck!

I just tried to post a link to a picture of ddeuddeg's Eggnog Cheesecake, that is on my FB page, but to no avail. ddeuddeg can't view it because he doesn't have permissions. We'll figure something out.

OK, so let's give this another try.
EDIT: I will send some pics to sanity and she will post them with the recipes on the website. Links can be found in ddeuddeg and PB's signatures. But give her a few days to post. I'm sure that she will let us know when they are up.

Aww man, I am sorry. I have a 3 yr old GSD that roams my house at night. He will only bark if there is something wrong and needs to be dealt with right away. He walks in and checks on my child and wonders back to his room. I good dog is one of the best things in life. A true companion that only ask for love in return.
I hope you can get yours back on the right track.

Here's a sign that I may have to much time on my hands today. This is my nomination for our "Circle of Excellence" Award, which I lovingly refer to as the Circle Jerk of Excellence Award.
Circle of Excellence Award
Name: This Font
Submitted by: Bowtie
Please write a brief description why person should be nominated:
I would like to nominate this font for the Circle of Excellence. It makes my eyes happy, and my brain fill with rapture. I cannot remember the last time I read something that made me so giddy. It’s almost, but not quite, as good as Christmas morning when I was a kid. I remember once, on Christmas day, I was so excited about a book I received on the legend of King Arthur that I couldn’t wait to read it. It was agonizing, opening those stupid video games and toys, when all I wanted to do was read about King Arthur and Excalibur. When the capitalist beast was finally sated (I also got a book on Marx when I was a kid), and the last present opened, I dashed to my room and cracked open that book, only to find a font like this*, which left me bitter and wanting. I couldn’t even finish the book I was so distraught. The memory of that sad, sad day has stuck with me, lo these many years and left me the broken, pathetic shell of a person you know today. If only that book had been written in this font, I wonder what my life would have turned out like. We’ll never know, and that, that is the true tragedy. So thank you Microsoft Uighur in 23 pt glory for giving my life meaning again. I have stared into the abyss and you stared back. I am forever smitten.
*Copperplate32bc 10pt, for those following along at home
We'll see if the powers that be have any sense of humour. I tend to doubt it.
