Clones vs Horns

Well a chance to stay tied for 1st in the conference;). Horns seem to be an up and down team. Beat Stanford but lost to some others. I'll pick the Clones because why not.

Best part of this game is win or lose I get to see all my nieces and nephews tonight. Been taking them to a game a yr ever since they were 5. It worked out they could all make it tonight, it'll be 20+yrs for the oldest ones. Glad they still make the time to do stuff with me.

GO CLONES!!

Weird Amazon thing

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this scam and what exactly they trying to get at.

A few weeks ago I had a pending charge posted to my credit card from Amazon. I hadn't ordered anything so I put a track on it to email me as soon as it went final. It went final a few days later and suddenly an amazon box appears with my address and my first name (no last name). In that box, there are 3 things that are probably close to the value of the charge ($35). No receipt and it doesn't show up on my recent amazon order list. I dispute the charge with my credit card and try to figure out how to dispute it with amazon.

Today I get another pending amazon charge ($55). I fully figure a new box will show up sometime this week. I remove my credit card from my Amazon account, change my password (again), and have my credit card company send my a new card with a new number. I fully expect a new box to show up this week though.

So what's the scam here? Are they sending me $10 worth of stuff and pocketing the other $20, hoping I won't notice? Will they eventually stop sending me stuff at all and keep charging? Is there anything else I can do?

Black Friday-What are you buying?

I'm waiting to see what Home Depot has for tool chests. I'm looking for something like this or a little bit bigger.

I've done a little bit of research and it's probably going to come down to Husky or Milwaukee. I was surprised by two brands, the first being one by Harbor Freight, which ended up being just as nice as the Husky and Milwaukee. The second was Craftsman, which I expected to be great but seemed like junk.

What's on your list?

2019 Personal Goals

I don't believe in resolutions, but I thought a discussion of 2019 goals for everyone might be a worthwhile thread.

For me, I only have 2 this year:

1) Personal Health - eliminate pop from my diet altogether. I also have a goal to complete the Farrell's 10 week program.

2) Financial Health - Wife and I have gotten lax in our budget and spending habits. I've started using YNAB and have a goal to continue that on a weekly basis. Further, our goal is to cut back extra trips to Hy-Vee outside of our weekly grocery run.

What is everyone else working on in 2019?
