sigh reviewing credit charges and see some that we don't recognize.

sonofa... new card in the mail, close the account.
of course it was the account with all of the autopays on it.

 

We had that a few times in past months, I hate it, we forget some of the autopays so we don't find out until they contact us and tell us the payment did not go through, crap

 

My wife checks every line on every statement every month. Nothing gets by her.

We have been fortunate and only had to cancel cards four times in 18 years - '08, '14, '21, and '26 due to fraud. Some cards had to be replaced due the vendor's files being compromised. We seldom use autopay. We have 7 set up but 3 of them are annuals, so it's only 4 to watch.

 

Not wanting to tempt fate but we've only had to cancel a card once in 30 years. I make most utility payments directly via Internet Banking as the bills arrive, and I never agree to my card details being stored other than Amazon, my power provider, and my grocery store.

 

Forgive me if I mumble from the novacaine when I get back, off to the dentist.

 

The mumbling is fine but try not to drool when you type!

 

So did they fix what ails your tooth?

 

I had two old adjacent crowns. Food had been getting stuck and caused cavities under both.
They pulled one crown which provided access to the lesser cavity on the second tooth.
Both teeth had previously had root canals so there wasn't any pain per se except some gum irritation.
The bigger tooth got a post and will get a new crown next week.

The only thing that really hurts is my wallet.

 

So one crown or two? You don't have a root canal tooth with no crown do you?

My nephew's wife put off getting a crown on a root canal tooth and is now in the process of an implant.

And yes, the wallet feels the most pain.
