bfm Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 So we're under fire again... Early morning today IDF killed a leader of one of the major terror orgnizations in Gaza. They targeted him specifically, waiting until "non-involved" (e.g., children, non-terrorist citizens) left his house and then shot and killed him and his wife. He was responsible for many shootings lately (the towns and cities close to Gaza are often under fire, when I say we're under fire it's when there's more shootings and they target further areas). So now there's a lot of shootings, over 180 since this morning. Most of them towards the southern areas, mostly the people close to Gaza, but there have been further shootings, e.g., close to Tel-Aviv. The IDF is not responding massively at this point, wanting to get things to calm down. Hopefully things will turn back to normal (or better than this, because "normal" for the people near Gaza is frequent shootings...) as soon as possible... I live closer to Tel-Aviv so it's not that bad, definitely wayy better than in the south, but I do work in a southern city. A rocket actually hit an area I was close to just yesterday... Today they cancelled school and closed work places in a big part of the country, we'll have to see what happens tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Zimtzicke Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Mayim was part of the video made for Gary Sinese expressing deep gratitude for the work he and his foundation have done for service members and veterans, first responders, and their families. It is a very cool video and well worth watching. https://countrymusicfamily.com/gary-sinise-blindsided-by-emotional-thank-you-from-tom-hanks-others/?a=DK&var=GaryBlindsided-RELOAD&utm_campaign=garyblindsided&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_term=author-dk-posted_by-dk-repost-fbvhn-reload&utm_content=gary-sinise&fbclid=IwAR1Dy6KrnzRAI20WyaTAIW55Oox7pkxJY8KcRCHPr3mpsgotulKDRyI3Gjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Die Zimtzicke Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 OMG! If your phone quits working, get on it immediately. Someone bought a cell phone and a SIM card and told AT&T to transfer our number to it and they just went ahead and did it. They took our phone # and started doing all kinds of fraud with it and with our e-mail and when we had it shut down, we had also lost out Internet since they were together. I've spent a week contacting banks and credit bureaus and credit cards (only got one fake one, am hoping they didn't use it before I stopped it) and filed a police report and all kinds of crap. It's been total hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that phone for years and they transferred it to another carrier just because someone asked them to. The new carrier said this was common and suspended the number so that was nice. Just got putting an alert on social security since I don't know what info they were able to extract and I don't want them stealing my tax return.

Die Zimtzicke Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I was working in a school today where they showed the film Hidden Figures to the math classes as part of Black History Month (the history classes got Glory another day) and while I still liked the movie as much today as I did when it came out, I really loved what Jim Parson's did with his role more now than I did then.
