    Re: Gear Grinding 8: I Got A Lot Of Problems With You People!

    Got home today about the same time as my roommate. I’m coming back up the driveway and she asks if I want “any of these” because she was just going to throw them away.

    “These” ended up being homemade cookies and peanut brittle from a coworker. Who the hell throws away Christmas cookies and peanut brittle? Peanut brittle!

    I think I’m going to start locking my bedroom door at night until she proves she’s not an insane person.

      I use Siri to add things to my grocery list app AnyList.

      I get to the bottom of my list as I’m planning a grocery trip. At some point it had interpreted ‘ketchup’ as ‘catch-up’

        I can see Christmas cookies, to be honest. 90% of them are pretty but taste blah.

        But throwing away peanut brittle? That's a hanging offense in my house.

              I was getting those over the summer. The scammers were using the same area code and exchange as my cell number. They even spoofed my number for their robo-dialer as I had one person text me asking why I called them.


              They seem to have stopped, for now.


              At first I assumed it was a wrong number or three because it's my Michigan cell # (never got an Illinois number when I moved down here).

                I get one from the same area code and exchange at least once a week. The offshore scammers are getting clever with the spoofing, but not clever enough for this guy. I've been screening every number I don't recognize for 3+ years now.

                  One of my cell numbers has a weird area code. That area code shows up as a scam number about once a week. I'll give them credit for persistance.

                    I get a scam warning for a call from a pharm company every 3 months or so. Trouble is, I need to take that call, as it is a legit call, notifying me of my medicine for a health issue. The issue is, the last four digits are usually different. I recognize the number from the area code and first 3 digits. Hence, I take that call. It kinda sucks; minor hassle, but have to deal with it.
