Been over a decade since it snowed in Houston - I can't even remember when it last snowed. 2003, maybe? 2005? The last time it snowed in New Orleans was 2008. I heard some talk on the news yesterday about the potential of snow. I didn't really pay much attention, you never really expect snow around here. Then I wake up this morning and it actually was snowing outside. Fun times. We got encased in 8" of ice this winter and the schools shut down for 3 weeks. I love the NW, but our winters can really, really suck. 3 month of +85 degrees with just a few over 100 is nice though. So like your guys entire fall and winter and spring? Maybe I should move.

Loomis should relocate to Portland Better yet, Seattle, send the Hawks to OKC and swap divisions or something. That works out better for division/region purposes as well.

I realized that I overpaid my CC bill today, but that didn't make sense because I paid exactly what it said. When I checked, I realized that the exact amount that I overpaid by (almost $200 in gas and groceries) were charges from a one to two hour window on a single day that randomly disappeared from my statement (they were pending when I paid it). Anyone know why that would happen? Pre auth. Merchants will send a pre auth/pre fund transaction prior to sending the completion/settlement transaction. You'll usually see it at fueling pumps - $1.00 to make sure the card is good, then the funding transaction after the store batches and routes all transactions. Odds are the pre auth fell off before the store batched the transaction. Pre auths usually fall off within 24 hours, with or without the completion/settlement transaction. That $200 will eventually settle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss my boys when they they're at school for the day lol. And it's not just what you're missing, but what he's missing. There is no substitute for a father in a boy's life. We all have to do what we have to do to put food on the table, but if you can switch maybe it's worth it. You won't get this time back and no one ever reflects back on their life reminiscing paychecks. Iyam....fwiw....imho...etc... Yea, I always figured I would transition shore side eventually, the drop in pay and working a regular 9-5 was always caused a big hesitation with me though. But now, I really don't care about the money anymore. All I can think about is being gone for 4 weeks at a time when my little guy should be getting to know who his dad is. His eye sight doesn't really come in until like a month or so and I'm not gonna be one of the first people he really sees, really upsets me when I actually sit down and think about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a week, and my next statement period started today, so it seems odd for it to totally disappear. I'll just wait and see. It doesn't affect me one way or the other because I already paid the bill. I appreciate the explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuel pumps are pre auth between $1.00 to $75.00 because nobody knows what the settled transaction amount is going to be until you're finished fueling up. There are some times in which the merchant connection to the network (Visa, Mastercard, etc) goes down and leads to this scenario. The fix is a pain on the bank/processor side, but you're right - no issue to you, especially if you paid everything in full. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the weather there is pretty cold. According to weather network its currently about 48 degrees, which is a little warmer than where he came from, but not the idea you have when you want to escape winter for a bit.. I'm visiting Los Angeles next week and am worried about the wildfires, and if i should reschedule my trip to Jan or Feb....

What I'm saying though is that they had the exact amounts that I spent at the grocery store and the gas station on my statement before it disappeared (I know because I have the receipts and paid those exact amounts). So it went through at some point and then disappeared in the week between that and me checking my end of the period statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Laughing at people who think SEC teams would struggle playing in the 40s. We’re in the 50s with 20 mph wind and almost everyone here is in shorts and/or short sleeves. Even the old ladies.
