Book Board Chat

Thanks, Beth, by memory, & from what you wrote/said, this must have been old Fiesta-ware. Normally don't look at the "art" pottery, but made a point to do so because of wellington's McCoy vase. Before yesterday, I couldn't tell Von Briggle from McCoy from Fiesta. Not sure I could do so now, either, but I did get an idea of selling prices for them on eBay today, in between going back and forth with Master Card. Details follow...
jhill, I spoke too soon. UPS Express delivered new card early this a.m. I called to activate it. Got the "card is now activated," so I hung up. Immediately, someone from MC called. I asked why, and said I had just rec'd card and activated it. She said card was not activated but she'd do it right then. Huh? OK, so figured all was well. Went around the internet and changed card for AT&T, PayPal, eBay, Amazon and a few other places I'd set up for auto-billing. Got another call from MC security. Lost the call since they called on my cell (how did they get that #?). So, called 800 no., went thru 3 people, each more senior than the last, and finally got to their Fraud Division. Seems my old card was "tagged" and so was my new one (huh?) I mean, really. Hope it's all straight now because I used it to buy plants (one of those old machines that give carbons)... Must have been very wicked in my last life. Will test the card tomorrow with one of the newer machines somewhere. Maybe it's a ploy to get me to buy things to test whether card works? 😉 I can't imagine they mess up like this with the other 1.5 million affected card holders.

Planning a long evening watching Korean drama. Now on episode 67 of 138. Very action-packed. Not much romance yet (these dramas are short on romance anyhow), but lots of historical facts and characters, which we check against our history of Korea books. Pretty crazy, I know.

Hope everyone has a great evening!
