[lace-chat] Warning - Lace supplier site hacked

2006-07-20 Thread chh
Dear Spiders -

I just got a call from The Lacemaker (Courtland, Ohio) and was told that their
site had been hacked (actually their host) and that financial information had
been stolen.  Evidently, several customers had activity on their credit card
accounts and to be safe, they were calling everyone who had ordered through
the web site.

I immediately called my bank and thankfully, there was no illegal activity on
my account but because I had used a debit VISA, the thieves would have had
access to my main checking account.  My banker canceled my card number and has
reissued it with a new number.  I was lucky because the only thing I have to
do is put up with the minor hassle of waiting for a new card but I thought I
should spread the word as fast as possible to all lacemakers who might have
ordered from them on line.

I don't want to besmirch the reputation of the Lacemaker because, in truth, it
could happen to any site that sells on line.  I will, however, only shop from
now on at sites that use a nationally recognized Safe Sales check-out.

Be warned and check your accounts, especially those of you headed to Canada!

May your threads never tangle,
Cindy

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Woman's yearly exam

2006-07-20 Thread Tamara P Duvall

I may have seen this one before...


From: R.P.


I went to the doctor for my yearly physical.
The nurse starts with certain basics.
How much do you weigh? she asks.
115, I say.
The nurse puts me on the scale. It turns out my weight is 140.
The nurse asks, Your height?
5' 8, I say.
The nurse checks and sees that I only measure 5' 5.
She then takes my blood pressure and tells me it is very high.
Of course it's high! I scream, When I came in here I was tall
and slender! Now I'm short and fat!
She put me on Prozac.

And another warning to those heading to Canada: My daughter and I 
went to Montreal this February, expecting to be able to withdraw 
money at the ATMs at the roadside rests. However, our credit union 
stopped using the CIRRUS network, and that was the only network that 
those machines worked with! Had we realized what a problem this was 
going to be, we would have checked earlier which banks we could use. 
Fortunately I had some cash, and most people would take either 
American dollars or a credit card
