^Well first they sent me a text about it and I thought it was spam because ING sent me one almost the same and I'm not with ING. Then they sent me a letter (which looks legit) saying that I could either call them and get my account unfrozen or wait for a new account and new card in the mail. I chose to wait because I hate making phone calls to places like that.

I don't mind waiting that much because I rarely use my credit card. Plus I can use my regular card which doubles as a MasterCard.

I'm sorry, Reneaden. I was actually meaning to ask Genesis about his bank card.
You're right, credit cards can be a little bit different. I only have one credit card, I never use. I keep it for emergencies AND pay an annual fee for the privilege, but it has a "several months of life expenses" credit limit on it. I've also had the same account since the '80s when I spent very large amounts of $ in hopes of very large paybacks, when they finally came.

Last time I even used that card was 2018 when my mom got in bad shape with her leukaemia. We thought we were losing her and I traveled (air) and stayed until she was giving me a bunch of the  "go away - I'm fine" stuff.
She's 87 now and has trouble sometimes, but I've finally gotten her to give up all the big livestock she used to keep. Now it's just  her and her younger brother helping with way too many chickens.
Chickens don't require huge daily labor like mammal stock.

But that's not my Quick Bitch.

We had a hail storm today! I didn't quite get my car undercover in time but the hail was only small.
Now there's stars in the sky and it's 14C (apparently, feels a lot warmer) at 10pm.

A water bill. Only $13.

Same thing again only 67c dearer.

Why does it take so long to get a new ATM card!?!?! I know the fraud thing happened, but why does 5 to 7 business days feel like an eternity!?!?!?!

The same thing happened to me, only it was my credit card. I don't use that at ATMs, I use it for online transactions.

Can't you just walk into your bank.
I've had to do this three times in two years. I'm out in five minutes.
Brand new activated card. Old one canceled.

I get that the Aldi clumping clay cat litter is cheap and that's why I buy it. But lately it's had an increasing number of friggin boulders in it. Like, chalk stones, 1.5 inches in diameter. I even found a clump of red brick.
