I had an odd instance last month where a business claimed to have tried using my credit card (that I earn dollar reward points on) three different times and on different processing stations/registers, and said it would not work and was declined. No problem. I paid cash and went on my way. I called the credit card company shortly thereafter and asked if there was a fraud alert or some issue that prevented the transaction from going through. It was not a large amount. The rep said they showed no record of me even attempting to use my card that day. That seemed strange, but I chalked it up to the possibility that it could have been a glitch of the equipment at the business source. Didn’t think much of it till reading this thread. Now I can’t help but wonder …

The second issue I’ve experienced is that recently (past couple of weeks maybe), certain of my rechargeable batteries (that are not very old) on portable camera monitors don’t seem to want to charge, or charge fully/properly. I have to unplug and plug them back in multiple times a day to keep them showing a charge, and it’s now less likely a full charge. Otherwise when I unplug them, they’re basically empty, and not charged at all, showing a red light, or barely charged and don’t last more than a few minutes before the green light turns to red. If it was on just one, I might think it was a battery going bad, but it’s on both units and started at the same time. Any theories? I’ve wondered if it could be from effects of the sun or electromagnetic issues. Anyone else experiencing anything similar?

The third thing I’ve noticed is that people I know seem to be having a challenging time regulating their frequency to eat (compared to before). Seems that folks who had a full, regular meal would eat four to six hours later. Now those same people are hungry and eating only an hour-and-a-half or two hours after a full meal. Again, I’ve wondered if it could be related to electromagnetic fields, the sun or even if the new tech like five-gee is being pulsed in experiments to impact/affect people or their behaviors? Anyone notice anything like that?

Maybe it is “just me?”
