Wife goes to her dads on Tuesday evenings, to clean, or whatever else he needs done. Fast forward to this morning, before work, my wife hands me an envelope from her dad, and told me Merry Christmas. Opened it up, and it was a receipt for a brand new Toro Timecutter SS4225 zero turn riding mower. I about fell over. Has a 22.5 HP V-twin Toro engine:

There's no returning it, never got it. FIL ordered it, then gave me the receipt to contact the seller for shipping, etc. I didn't bother Wednesday night, as we go to his house then for supper. Last night, after work, I opened up the envelope again, and paid more attention to the cost, which was unusually low. Went to the website, and it was based out of Indonesia. Red flag city. Googled it, and confirmed it was a scam. I found this online, this is how it goes down:

1. You go to the website and purchase a product.

2. They send you a confirmation e-mail. Eventually they send you an e-mail with a tracking number.

(The tracking number may actually be legit, but the one I received didn't take me to anything).

3. You eventually get a company, such as DHL, delivering something to your door. It will be in a small

DHL envelope, but will only typically have the country of origin on it. You will have to sign for it

to see what it is.

5. You sign for the envelope.

6. You open it to find an envelope from another shipper (the local shipper in the scammers area).

You open this to find an envelope which contains an international bill of lading for your item (the

lawn mower). Congratulations, you just paid and signed for an expensive piece of paper.

7. You open a dispute through paypal. In this dispute, you claim its a scam and show them how.

8. The scammer claims you signed for your goods, so he sent them, so he's in the clear and should

get paid.

9. You go around with Paypal telling them you signed for a piece of paper which is not, in fact, a lawn

mower.

10. The scammer claims there has been some mistake and that the goods are on their way. You just

have to wait.

repeat the last 2 steps until the scammer gets paid and you get stuck with an expensive piece of paper.

With enough chocolate, matzah isn't bad at all. Sea salt and dark chocolate in this batch!
Not far from chocolate-covered pretzels, which is what Fatty Sundays makes most of the year.
But straight matzah... what a pain. And it crumbles if you try to improve it.
Which is why one has matzah ball soup. Bacon-wrapped matzah balls FTW.

Rake gumballs today. Yay.

whu..??
Is this something at the candy factory?
Sounds dangerous.

Buddy of mine used to work as a pipe-fitter and was occasionally called up to a chemical plant in MA. One day they showed up and were told it was too dangerous to work that day. A reactor tank full of personal lubricant had sprung a leak and the whole factory floor was 1/8" deep in lube.
 
Took me 3 hours of solid raking, and another 2 hours and 15 minutes to bag it all. Pooped. I need to get that tree taken down. Sick to death of gumballs. Plus, it's been unusually windy this year, so they were scattered all over the place.
 
Having a terrible day I worked this morning ,4th weekend in a row. My feet are killing me. Had a steroid shot 25th of the last month can't get into the doctor until the 25th of this month . May have to have surgery on my right foot again . Have stuff I need to do ,but can't stay on my feet long enough to get it done. Really frustrating

Very informative Dubz. I hadn’t a clue
 
It would appear that Tommythewho no longer makes wood tweener scales, or, at least, I haven't seen them. Wanting to get some for my 16.
 
Wife left me this morning for the week. She went with her dad to visit family. House will be lonely.
