At least you didn’t lose a whole wallet, cancel three credit cards (1 for me, 2 for work) and a debit card, and THEN find it in the baby’s diaper kit.

Did that last December during Xmas shopping :smack:

I recently had to cancel my debit card due to possible fraud. I went without for almost 2 weeks. Now I have about $2000 in checks floating around in the world.
