#DiscoverCard I was sound asleep during my morning snooze yesterday when the phone jangled me rudely awake. By the time I figured out what planet I was on, found my glasses and stumbled into the next room the answering machine had already answered the phone. All I caught were the words “Discover Card Fraud Prevention Security Department”. I hit play on the machine after the last beep and learned that due to “suspicious activity your account will be deactivated until we are contacted”. At the same time I was looking at this email on my screen.
I called the number immediately and the first thing they asked me was for my account number. Understandably I was reluctant to give my number over the phone so they decided they could use my name. I was asked if I had bought merchandise or services from Wal-mart, Tandy, and IHOP in Phoenix. I told them my wife probably had and please turn the card back on. I called Tracey after to let her know that her wild spending spree had been noticed by the Discover people and that I had saved her from being “deactivated”.

Thank you for keeping me activated. I need my plastic for 1 more day. You can temporarily take it away from me when I get home.

Oh Fiddlesticks! It’s not every day you get to spend money on our kids so spend away; if I had really been worried about it I would have left it deactivated.

I can’t believe you put that in writing and in front of witness’s.
Tracey 23 Feb 2010, 11:56 a.m.
What? That I would let them deactivate you? You don’t do so bad with the budget so I trust you.

I read it with my own eyes too, Tracey, he said “spend away”!

LOL! You guys! I have no fear she will spoil Noah - probably Max & Zoey too - but she won’t bankrupt us because she works hard for the money.
