I'm a wee bit miffed. Just tried to check on my free annual credit report, and in order for them to make sure I'm me, they are asking for account numbers from credit cards, which is fine. But they are asking for account numbers from credit cards I don't have any more and haven't had for years. I mean one store card went out of business at least 10 years ago. How crazy is this?

Is this their way of getting out of providing a free credit report???

mindyou the thoughtfuls have no debt at all...none. So it's not like i need this, but i was curious to see what it said about us.

Are you using this site?

My son just called and he is so upset...he just had to put down his beloved Devon Rex which he's had for 16 years. His name was Bones and that was the coolest cat in the world...a really fine cat. He would go out hunting and come back after a few days all beat up and recover...he had scars like crazy but was so tough, he'd always fo back for more.

My son said he was either hit by a car or took a fall from the roof. He found him in the yard, paralyzed and unable to move except for front legs and his neck and head.
The vet said it was hopeless and that his kidneys had probably already shut down.

My son is heartbroken...it's so dreadful to hear your kid break down and weep.

16919. Magoseph - 10/6/2005 8:28:58 PM

Yes, it's dreadful and my heart goes to you and your son, Judith.

16920. Ms. No - 10/6/2005 8:31:35 PM

I'm so sorry. What an awful thing.

16921. thoughtful - 10/6/2005 11:02:10 PM

J@h, so sorry to hear about bones. It's never easy to lose a pet.

RJB, that was the site I was using. I think I'll try calling them and see how far I get.

16922. arkymalarky - 10/6/2005 11:41:48 PM

Oh Judith, that's awful.

16923. judithathome - 10/6/2005 11:56:30 PM

Thanks to everyone...this cat was so special. We're all going to miss Bones.

Arky, I thought of Diva when he called me.

16924. arkymalarky - 10/7/2005 12:11:50 AM

Oh yes. I thought of her when I read it, remembering and thinking how painful it must be for your son.

You are quite the crack up. I had the WalMart person lead me around as you suggested. We both thought black olives would be on the canned vegetable aisle. Turns out, they are near the pickles. Took as long as usual. Longer, actually. We stoo in line for checker. I usually go through the self-checkout line and screw things up on purpose so a supervisor comes over immeditaely to fix it, and I get out faster.

That's one I re-read also, always something different each time. As well as Ford Maddox Ford's "The Good Soldier".

Tommy Cooper sounds like the kind of jokes I remember my maternal grandfather braying with his great big heart.

16927. Ulgine Barrows - 10/7/2005 8:42:02 AM

Jenerator, did you post your baby's name? I missed it, if so.

Whatever it is, I bet you are just newly in love. Congrats!

16928. Ulgine Barrows - 10/7/2005 8:47:08 AM

Somthing untoward or very uncivil has happened on the internet for these random people to return to the bed of comfort.

Addendum to: My Finger and Honour

My toe! I was on the verandah, sipping wine, and just noticed the nail of my big toe. I can clearly see a new nail already half grown in. Now when did that happen? My suffering digits, likely the forgetfulness of old age.

16930. Ulgine Barrows - 10/7/2005 9:39:34 AM

mmm, you only earned what we gave you.

Don't know what that addendum was supposed to accomplish.

I thought your thingy before was complete, well done.

Now you got a Gibson without a case.

16931. Ulgine Barrows - 10/7/2005 9:47:12 AM


I got a Gibson without a case
But I can't get that even tanned look on my face
Ill fitting clothes and I blend in the crowd
Fingers so clumsy, voice too loud

But I'm one
I'm one

And I can see that this is me
And I will be, you'll all see
I'm the one

-The Who

16932. Ulgine Barrows - 10/7/2005 9:50:53 AM

I'm having a dandy time with a lyrics look-up plugin.
My karma tells me, you don't want to hear about it.

I'm all mixed up
but I know what's right

G'night

16933. Macnas - 10/7/2005 10:14:13 AM

Time for coffee!

16934. Ulgine Barrows - 10/7/2005 11:25:12 AM

Mmm, caffiene.



I got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I've found a driver and that's a start


Every morning I've got a new chance
I want to land the part of Eddie in The Stranger Dance
He makes love to the duke
He swordfights the queen
He steals the whole show in his last dying scene
No one sees the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
No, no one sees the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
No one sees the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
Mmm hmmm mmm hmm hmm hmm
