Hi dove!
Very good to hear from you. I hope everything is well on your end.
Yeah, I guess I'm pretty fortunate that Visa was notified and cancelled my card before any damage was done. For the longest time I wouldn't order online for exactly this reason, but now I'm back to square one. I probably won't order online for a long time.
What you said about hypomania brought a smile to my face. Although I know that it's unhealthy behavior for me, it was...well, fun. Those shopping sprees were great (until the bills came in of course)! It was nice to just go into a store and buy something just because I wanted it and not have to stand there for an hour trying to justify doing it. I think you understand that feeling huh?
Well, I hope you and the family had a great Xmas and New Year! Drop me an e-mail if you get a chance, we haven't talked for awhile.
Hugs,
Greg> Wow, that sucks big-time. Egghead was also hacked and they don't know what the hackers had found or taken, or what damage their own secure system had incurred.

> I still prefer ordering online, I hate feeling like a freak when I can't make a decision (like between a red or a burning crimson sweater) and stand pondering the decision intensely for two hours. I have a severe problem with making decisions, and I still remember the days when hypomania drove me forward and I made decisions without regret, reservation, or self-incrimination :-)
