  This is more of an FYI for folks to be weary of any purchases that you make this holiday season.

  This morning my spouse was checking the particular Credit Card we use for everything. I am so very thankful for her due diligence everyday when it comes to this. There was a charge on there for $14.22 that was determined to be a"reoccurring" autocharge placed on 12-07-18. It came from a company that we will call  "A-something PRIME". She contacted this particular company and there was an excuse of " You probably sign up for this free shipping for 30 days trial when using our services before" but they gave a credit back and assured us it would not happen again . Don't want any type of free advertisement for this particular behemoth of any sorts.....BUT, I wanted you all to be aware. Please check you CC's frequently and be attentive. While I did not win a state sponsored lottery, I sure feel as though I did with my spouse.

  Good luck to each and every one us in the remaining few weeks of 2018

  Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year.

  Funny you should mention that. I just went through my cc's and other stuff I owe.

  Also reminded me how badly I could use a "small" lottery win. LOL.

  Oh my....The same thing happened to my debit on Nov 7th...And guess what I have never used this service before...So I contacted the bank and they gave back the money and had to get a card replacement..It's a scam it seems to me since I never used it and my card wasn't used by anyone else either...And it was two charges in 1 day for 2 months...

  All of these free trial just pay shipping sign you up for a subscription automatically 
  even if a reasonable search of the web pages doesn't seem to fine mention of doing
  so.  Same goes for an health product, next month another one comes and even if
  you stop further shipments, you're stuck for the ones you actually received. 
  
  Just getting rid of all the scams would be like a small lottery win for everyone.

  On Monday 12/17, I shipped a package using USPS Priority Express.

  It was to be delivered by Tuesday 12/18 at 3:00 PM.

  Well..... it wasn't delivered until Wednesday. 

  So now, I get my $59.48 back as well as the package delivered for FREE!

  That's my little lottery win story.
