i think that's what she is going off of teach. the fact that she has seen relationships that have worked out after a cheat. but of course, it is rare...doesn't always happen. idk. i wish her luck...but i just don't see it ending well.

I told my husband a couple years ago to "Shiver & Squint to bring down the cost of the utilities. That man is incapable of turning off a light or closing a cupboard. Or cleaning a toilet.

Haven't seen the commercial but with softball starting up I've been listing a lot to the "bang, bang choo choo train" cheer lately.

Gripe - I have parents and three sisters in different states and they all live so far in the boondocks that there is no cable tv (Nor network tv on the satellite dish) nor even phone service except from one phone company in their areas. My brother doesn't even own a tv. Hey, I'm not a couchpotato, but I want to have tv available when I do want to watch! Isn't this 21st century America!?

Grace, what is your gripe? Are you talking about when yo go visit? If so, couldn't you DVR some choice shows so you have them when you have down time?? Just a thought (if that is your gripe.)

I hate going to the boondocks unless it is in the middle of summer and you can be outside the whole time.

Julieboo, the gripe is that they can't watch me on the Price Is Right! AND sometimes when I call them their phone service is so bad you cannot have a decent conversation. Denecee that's my point. The boondocks are for just that kind of thing, not for living in full time! LOL Thanks, but Babyruth, they are even more fun when I get to talk to them, and I wanted to entertain them this time!

OK Gracie this is really weird but you were in one of my dreams last night and it was about this! And in my dream I asked if you read my post yet and you said yes but you are mad at your parents. LOL I don't think I've dreamed about TVCH before.

Ok, my time to gripe! DH works out of state, Iowa but we have our home in Missouri, since he's got anywhere from 10 days to 2 weeks, we miss each other a lot. He's been up there for at least 18 months. I thought it would be nice to get a nice motel for a relaxing weekend. PLUS it was the start of NASCAR and wanted to watch it too! We'd stayed at a place last year that's just an hour or so away from him and 3 hours for me, but since he works hard all the time and I don't....makes more sense for me to travel farther. Called earlier this week and booked a king suite with 2 person jacuzzi, which is what we had the last time we were there. They didn't have a smoking king suite available, but no big deal, we can deal with that, am used to being a "second class citizen" since I smoke and that's my choice. We got into the room and lo and behold a brand spanking new flat screen TV was there on the stand. 20 something channels were to have been available, but nope..we got 11! The Fox channel which carried the race was one we could not get. DH went to front desk and little guy working, said he'd check it out. We got into the hottub to try to relax then the TV quit working altogether..HOLY SH*T what's up with that? So more phone calls to front desk and he's no help, so he offers us a 2 queen bed room OR the handicap room with a king bed. By this time DH is ready to bite nails, so we pack up out crap and move to the handicap room. I so wanted this to be a perfect weekend so he could relax, but I should have known better! DH talked to the little desk person this morning and she was nothing but snotty, since we got to use the jacuzzi in the king suite, but only had to pay for the handicap room! Well la de freakin do dah! I really want to fire an email to their corporate office, but that probably wouldn't do any good either. So my gripe is done! lol

Man.. I would have been so angry, too!!!!!! I would write them a letter. Maybe they'll comp you something and if it's a chain, you can pick a better (hopefully) place!

We just discovered a John Frenendez has his 1987 mazda licensed to our address. DH has all ready been to police and they said there has been alot of identity theft here in Grays Harbor.(wonder why? maybe because of all the illegal immigrants here) There is no such name in phone book etc. Monday we have to go through Olympia and report it. Heaven knows what else he's gotten using our address. What gets me is this big shrug and attitude that they can't do anything yet. And then there will still be people who claim those poor illegals aren't hurting anyone!!

Yes Alwayzmovin, a letter to the corporate office is in order. Even a phone call to the manager of that particular hotel wouldn't hurt, and tell them if this hotel is online you are going to give it a bad rating. What nerve telling you there is not leeway because you were in the hottub! It was not your fault the tv didn't work. They could have just brought you another tv instead of moving you. I've worked in the hotel industry.

Yikes Supergranny, isn't it amazing how identity thieves make so much work for the innocent. Make sure you let all your banks and creditors know.

Are you sure it's a new registration, SG? One of the old tenants at this house hasn't changed his car registration since he lived here... we know because we get traffic tickets for him several times a year. It's not an identity theft issue, it's just him either trying to get out of tickets or being to lazy/disorganised to change his registration.

Alwayz, fire up that letter to corporate, you will be amazed at how they respond. I had a bad hotel experience couple years ago, I wrote and they cut the bill in half and sent coupons for future visits. It is good advertising for them to do this because now I walked away feeling good about the hotel (Century Plaza Hotel)

Been a busy day today trying to nip our identity theft before it gets worse. We bought our house from the guy who built it so no one else has lived here. The vehicle department had us e-mail all our vehicles, plates and numbers so they can put a flag on this Frenandez and they will never be able to get their car licensed in WA. They said they are trying to get this problem stopped. If there has been some sort of mistake the Frenandez's can appeal. The thing is that there is no record of them in the system except at OUR address. The drivers license department was not so helpful. I told them I wanted to know if they were using our address on their drivers license. They claim they couldn't know without the license number. Duh!! The problem is that they aren't using our name..they are using our address. This makes me so angry and feeling violated.

What a good job you noticed it when you did. I believe you can get a free credit check if you have any identity theft problems, it might be worth getting one.
