The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

you're correct about sharing too much.

IT can leave you exposed to people who steal identities.
Some people just need tiny about of information to create a reactionchain of thief (example.. very well trained identify thiefs usually ask for one information from someone, then chain it to other people the first person knows.. so they build entire pages of information).

I still remember that famous scam that was affecting my country.
They would randomly call you and claim they are your cousin or uncle that somehow "got stuck" in the border with no papers, and they need your help (always money).

The interesting part is, they are very clever.. but very simple.
they act all "common cousin! how do you dont remember me" (aka refusing to say any name expecting YOU to fill the voids)
sadly, elderly and young teenagers or kids usually answer a lot leaving their families exposed.

Well those scammers aren't going to catch me on the long lost family bit. The only family I care about/get along with is my immediate family and 2 cousins. If I had someone call up and say they were my long lost whatever, I would hang up.

Is the marketing class geared toward fashion industry marketing? We had certain classes in the music department where there were 2 different sections...one for majors and one for non-majors, and the ones for majors were harder. Or like the World Music class that I mentioned earlier, it was a required class for majors, so majors got preference for spots and whatever was left over, they filled in with anyone else who wanted to take it. If the marketing class is one that is geared more specifically toward the fashion industry rather than a broad general marketing class, that might explain it.

We have classes like that, but none of the information on the section says that it is restricted. It wasn't until I clicked to register that it told me it was restricted. I'm going to call the registrar's office tomorrow and see what's up. Might just have to wait.

It's pitiful what teachers are paid in this country. I don't know why parents around here keeping voting down tax increases for school. That's the best future investment we can make. JMHO

Education is cheaper than incarceration.

I'm going back in 96 days, free room, free airlines. Only food, as we have annual passes. So glad that hubby saved his points all the years of being on the road, with work. Only problem, this is the last of them. Guess, I have to start saving, out of grocery money. There goes my margarita's.

I'm at 17 days for WDW! Hubby still doesn't know we are going. He still thinks we will be in Minneapolis that weekend.

And then we are at 63 days until Disneyland.

Thanks for sharing. The Colosseum looks pretty cool, and a little unreal.

The Heat's first game is tomorrow!

In other news, I got a bunch of new stuff in NYC. Not any Disney stuff, though, unless you count cups from the Aladdin show.

I have 42 people on FB and even that seems like a lot to me.Must be a grumpy old curmudgeon.

I must be grumpier because I only have 7.

I've been very good so far about not opening up the candy bags for trick or treaters on Halloween . . . until tonight. I had the (small-sized) Kit Kats and 2 of the Hershey's as well. Then again, I was performing a public service, by taste testing the candy so that I'd be sure the children who come by, would like it . . .

I was putting together the goodie bags for my daughter's class and had to make sure the Butterfingers tasted okay.

So Hollywood and Vine goes to the dogs...can't Disney leave anything without a character in it alone.

Rite Aid got bought out by Walgreens which leaves only two major players in the drug game (besides drug lords )

what do you mean "goes to the dogs" ?


Lets hope Walgreens dont go into the infamous AT&T maneouver (aka monopoly style pricing )

We will be there for about 5 days, over the New Year. We are crazy going during that time, but that is when I have off of work!

sadly, some people who control the whole justice system.. do not care bout "cheap", as long it makes THEIR companies profit.

I believe he's referring to this:

Minnie’s Seasonal Dining
Minnie invites you along to meet all her friends at fabulous dinner parties throughout the year.

Join Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy and Goofy for delightful dinner celebrations centered on the magic of the season. As each new season comes, Minnie’s marvelous nights bring unique music, décor and menu items to celebrate the cheer of the winter holidays, the verdant bounty of spring, the sizzling summer excitement or the thrills of Halloween.

Ah, that's right. I was thinking it'd be fun to meet up, but those are AP blockout dates for me.

Hey, I've lived here almost my entire life and the big one hasn't hit yet! I think you have time to make it out here.

All of our Rite Aids closed about fifteen years ago. Our main pharmacy is in our Giant Eagle grocery store.
