    I spent the last several days updating my internet world because someone used my VISA to make a couple of purchases for video/gaming stuff. How it happened I couldn’t say because the card is wrapped in a protective sheath. I only use it when I’m filling up my gas tank. I’ve had the card for almost 30 years.

    Between Visa, my internet shutting down for the last four-five days and the electricity kicking off three times, it’s been an eye-opening experience on how much ground I’ve lost in patience and going with the flow. Adaptability is one of my strengths; time for an upgrade in the creative process. Time to streamline aspects of my life.

    Sounds like you experienced a credit card "skimmer".. I think u should report that to the place where you bought fuel.. (Obviously to your card company..) Many folks are reporting emails again being messed up (accounts shut down) extra charges, and communications mess-ups.. Start with documenting, one step at a time where it started.. then let them know each and every one of them what is accurate or not.. It's kinda like an advanced form of trolling.. getting us to react where we shouldn't have to..

    The last time I filled my tank was over three weeks ago. The Visa guy suggested that someone hacked an online company.

    The charges from several days ago were made on the same day at the same company for almost the same amount $38 (and change). They probably figured most wouldn't notice small amounts. As a preventive measure, I changed some ways I do business.

    I reported it right away and a new card was FedEx within two days. Visa will follow up with the rest.

    Paula,

    I did teach to an internet and cards security group of a bank a while a because contrarily to some poster on another thread who say they are what they are not, I am a real corporate trainer -

    What they told me was that most card frauds happen at gaz stations, to never use a bank card there, but always credit card since the theft is cover and easily reverted back to the station, while a bank card theft takes a whole inquest before being reversed.

    It is either that one of the clerk input a copying software into the paying machine, or that someone else (a customer or a mirror well directed) looked over your shoulder to have your code when you punched it. Afterward, they only need the copy of your card.

    You can also be stolen from a distance machine picking up our card number from your purse or pocket.

    anyhow, always check your credit card spending, it is where there is the greatest amount of fraud, gaz stations being the worst.

    Two weeks in the mediterranean without internet [+ zero wifi networks around] brought...

    multiple mosquito "bites" [really nasty this year],

    a new dog [9 yr old shepard, behaving like a 2 yr old], &

    first spontaneous conscious OOBE [after reading Raduga's the Phase off and on, for a week, on my kindle before sleeping at night].

    Zero vibrations...nada!
    The whole thing was induced by the loud song of the cicadas outside (i had the window open)...
    I was somehow drawn to the sound, which got louder and more intense as i focused on it...
    couldn't discern if the sound was outside or inside anymore...
    Remember wondering why no vibrations... but wait, it's said it can also be sound(s), so i went with it...

    I got out thru the feet (felt like suction; thinking: What does one do now?)... and suddenly stood upright. Rather hovered...

    Didn't look at my body at all, said instantly: No boundaries - i can pass through everything. Which i did, door and walls and ground without further notice (one ceiling wouldn't let me pass - an issue to be solved next time!).
    First goal, the mirror. Result: Almost exactly same physical appearance.

    The rest isn't really disclosable; only so much:
    I forgot about my second intention and did sth completely different (thanks to sirdipswitch's main thread from a couple of yrs ago, which i just gave a bump)... "he's doing the superman thing"...

    Can't recall re-entry; the whole thing kind of shifted into dreamland
    (where i discussed mistakes, do's and dont's of next "exit" with myself, and asked myself frequently if "this is still it"),
    half lucid, half not lucid - i.e. at times i was aware i could - and did - change things... e.g. i had entities chasing me explode [splatter!],
    and destroyed large parts of a city (just by thinking, and just because not wanting to go to work )

    Enuff now!

    I’m guessing, Foxie Loxie is soaking in the fall colors while she takes a little-bitty breather.

    Dear Lady, you’re in my heart and thoughts.

    I see myself in some of the posts. Even though I’m having a productive day, I’m also feeling unsettled and impatient. The birds seem more territorial than usual, too. (could be my projection)
