A Visitor

So this little guy must have mistaken our neighbors doorway for his cave. I was so excited because I've never seen a bat this close in the day time. It took most of my will-power and all of that part of my brain that was telling me it could give me rabies to resist the urge to touch it. I did have to peek out of our peep hole through out the day to see how he was doing.

Got the job!

Yay for Jeff! He got the job at Target and is starting next week. It is such a relief to have a source of income besides the plasma center, even though we still plan on going regularly so we have money to set aside. But I see a future where one day we can stop going there regularly. It's not so bad for some but I seem to almost pass out whenever I go and poor Jeff always gets the Phlebotomist that needs to head back to school.

Scammed :'(

Sadly Jeff and I fell for the door to door magazine sale scam (Bummer)

Students about our age are soliciting these subscriptions saying that they will earn points towards trips, scholarships, ect and once you pay you never see these kids again or receive your product. Unfortunately it didn’t happen to just us, a few of our neighbors can tell you the same story, many of which just wanted to help a fellow student out. I guess a college town is a good mark for these sorts of things seeing as how the work-at-home scam is abundant down here as well.

Looking back on it, it’s insanely stupid (Hind sight is 20/20). Who charges $40 for 4 magazines per year? Why does it take 3 months to start up? Wouldn’t these magazines be offered by their own company and not mixed with other publications?

I’m sure before this we both thought we were too smart for scams. We don’t respond to snail mail telling us we’ve won a $1,000 gift card, we don’t open emails from over sea princes needing our help, and we sure don’t give out personal information on the phone.

We’re just going to look at it as $40 spent to gain a little real world wisdom and be thankful that we didn’t loose more.
