What Republicans Are Thankful For

Hey Adlib
You tell those Republicans to leave my Flipper alone. He has been mine since I was in the 5th grade and I sat through two showings of his debut on the big screen in one afternoon. He is mine and I have replicas of him all over my house. No one disses Flipper lol

When you said housemother I immediately thought of the lady in Facts of Life, Charlotte Rae who played the housemother I hope you are happy with this new path. I love change and am a frequent mover.

Burl Ives just seemed like the perfect grandfather. And I loved this song in Rudolph. This is the first year my grandson thought it too young for him. Someday he will watch again, perhaps with his kids.

Wow
I have heard this song many times but never saw the live version. Thanks for the wonderful gift Food

You are welcome. I tried to leave it open to share whatever your celebration was for this time of the year because people do celebrate differently and that is what this country is all about, Freedom to celebrate as you wish. We used to have huge celebrations, my husband and I both come from large families but over the years it has become somewhat subdued. With all the kids marrying and having their own children, we use a “family reunion” during the year to all get together and it works because it takes the pressure off for the holidays.
Best Wishes to you and your family for a peaceful season and throughout the new year.

Have a great day. I did not post any Motown/RB Christmas songs because I knew I could count on you. Thanks for all you do everyday of the year, without yours, Adlib, KQ and Bito’s efforts this site would never have been born, take your bows.
Happy Holidays

I am a sun worshipper so I always look forward to the days getting longer again. Here in my part of CA it very seldom gets downright freezing but Spring, Summer and Fall are beautiful times of the year. I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday, no matter how you celebrate. I wish we could all Coexist in a more equal world, perhaps someday soon.

Luther, he had a wonderful voice. I saw him at a Jazz Festival back in 2001. We bought the Michael Bouble Christmas cd and it is almost like listening to the Chairman of the Board/Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Bing all over again. He does a great job of sounding like alot of old timers.

Tales of A Fraud Investigator – Part Duex

KQ
How well I remember, I had Prodigy lol and that damn dial up line…….you could hear the numbers dialing.

KQ I do remember that. I was in Merchant Risk Management from 88 to 93, then moved to a job totally out of risk/fraud with WFB, but I do remember that story. We used to get Visa and MC bulletins with info so we could monitor our own portfolio for similar activities.

Here is a somewhat famous Kwiatkowski. She was in the documentary Orwell Rolls in His Grave and is currently going to run for Congress for VA 6th district. She was raised in NC. I know her from the documentary but forgot about her last name until now.

The cop was somewhat right about the meaning of the name

That is weird, the bank I worked for always transferred the balance to an internal account set up for the cardholder pending receipt of the affidavit. We would transfer your balance to your new account and transfer the fraud balance to a fraud account. Granted it would take a few days, not like today where it happens with the next file transfer. I have never had the experience and not because I am that careful, I think I am just lucky. For you to have it happen three times is pretty unusual but out of your control.

There is no end to the schemes these people can dream up. There was a group of kids at Cal Poly who came up with a program to re-encode the mag stripes on the back of the card. During the sting operation, they took an undercover cop to a mall, supposedly to show him how he could get in to the racket. They sat in the back of a van, encoding mag stripes on cards and sending people in to spend money. The fraud was hard to detect because the embossed number and the encoded number were different. That is how CVV and CVV2 were developed. When I went to Visa, that was my position, manager of CVV and CVV2 implementation with the banks.

Weekend Music Thread – Your Personal Soundtrack

I love Sam Cooke and his version of this is very moving. It makes me sad when I hear it….for all the evils in this world.

POETS and POETRY VOL. II

KT you are very welcome. I wish I could come up with stuff like you did, but I am not very imaginative that way. Now give me some clay or a bunch of beads and I can make a beautiful piece of jewelry

I am not a connoisseur of poetry, but I did like yours. One of my favorites is:

Gone From My Sight
by Henry Van Dyke

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says, “There, she is gone”

Gone where?

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me — not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, “There, she is gone,”
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, “Here she comes!”

Whenever I have a friend who loses a loved one, I usually send that poem to them hoping to help them to know their loved one has gone to a place where everyone knows them.

Occupy Los Angeles Protest 11/17/11

LOL I know. I don’t watch this stuff much anymore

» Posted By SueInCa On November 17, 2011 @ 1:34 pm

Dylan Ratigan gave your march a few seconds just now and good for you to go down and participate.

Dylan is so single minded. He does not understand that Occupy DC is there to go after Congress and other politicians

OWS Episode V: The U.S. Empire Strikes Back

When McCain trotted out Palin as his running mate, I immediately texted volunteer to Obama campaign. I, too, worked on Hillary’s campaign. I missed meeting her by one week. She was coming to the campaign hq in Reno and we moved back to CA the week before.

You are a woman ahead of your time. I was reading an old post I did because I am considering writing another on fraud invetigations and I found this quote from you in the comments:

“I’m sure it was no surprise to you that Mr. Schnitkoff believed so whole-heartedly that he had been victimized by you!! It really is so exactly the way the ultra-wealthy in the current political climate love to portray themselves, as victims of class-warfare-obsessed Progressives. The perp as victim. A classic.”

You were using the term class warfare before it became popular lol.
