A parcel I sent to the States seems to have gone missing.

I know that feeling Limes!
I can't count the number of times it's happened to me.
I think everything turned up eventually (the longest wait was actually my fault - it was sent overland because I messed up on the postage).

Does your recipient check their postbox often?
Not every Dwellar gets post through their door.

Oh - I sent some money to Jim (for UT's car) and as far as I know it NEVER arrived.
That was an obvious case of theft, either here or there

Yes, recipient is on the look-out for it. I remember now the box was (used) packaging from some firm with a name awfully like "communism" ... I joked at the time that it might cause a problem, and perhaps it has

I just got a virus on my work computer from a link posted on the Cellar. I was going to try to get caught up on work this weekend, but I've had to shut that computer down. I'll take it to IS on Monday and they'll probably lock me out of the Cellar.

Dang, that sucks, HLJ. But surely they will block kuriositas.com, not the cellar? I'm not sure how they would even know that you got to the virusy link from here.

We have gotten viruses on two separate occasions from ads loaded on cracked.com, so I won't open their articles anymore, even though they are often quite funny.

Maybe I'll clear out my browsing history and cache before I bring it to them.

It's a little like closing the barn door after the cows got out, but I've deleted those links.

it was already ridiculous. I'll be paying $257 per pay. Yes... I'm paid weekly.

I might quit this job over this.

Just tell them you don't need no stinkin' insurance.

Lewis: [to Bobby] Insurance? Shit! I never been insured in my life! I don't believe in insurance. There's no risk.

So it's going up $4,420?!

That's a very steep increase. Did everyone in the dealership besides you just turn 65 or something?
