legal, when my husband was hired for a job and had to wait for a special clearance, his job paid him for the 6 months the clearance took! and if you think they don't check you out when you work for a defense contractor--they checked me out back to age 16 when dh and i married, they interviewed neighbors to see if we had traveled outside the country, they asked about unusual traffic at our home, they took sneak pictures of us and the home....they come around every couple of years and do it all over again, too. a few months ago the old lady in the purple house asked if my husband was going to war. i asked 'why?' and she told me the military came to ask her questions about us. i guess she must have had her one normal day per year the day they came, because dh still has his job

Yay, LB!!! I am glad you got the job and think it will turn out to be a wonderful opportunity for you. Not only that, but it is always good to have a job that is fun rather than to have to work for a living.

Legal, my DH reminded me that we have a friend who has been working in the Secret Service--in the Customs area--Pat Jones, if you ever run in to him--mention both Ed and me. (He is a gifted writer: Used to be a speechwriter for a politician in Washington. He is twice-divorced, but only cuz he has lousy taste in women. He's a really nice, easy-going and good-looking guy! But too old for you, I'm afraid. My generation, younger, perhaps by 5 years only.) Tabby, keeping my fingers crossed for you. Did your friends complete the applications as was suggested?

Oh now that should help a lot, Legal. You know Juju is our resident world traveler/Witness Protection Program member, so that should have a big influence on the investigation!

Hee hee hee. Just coming back in here. You guys are so cute! Think the "Secret Agent Man" tune, but sing the words, "Secretboxer Gal, SecretBoxer Gal!" In Mystic in October, (hope she can still attend), we'll all have to plague Legal by serenading her!

Legal, DH has top secret or whatever you call it clearance with the FBI, government and whomever all those guys are and it didn't take 6 months. I even had to go through the FBI background checks to adopt Miss Sarah. You could say you know Miss Sarah's daddy kinda sorta. That's almost as good as a Juju2bigdog seeing as how he's not retired. Well done, Legal! Well done!!

Well, saying 'Do you know HercklePerkle' COULD work! I was actually going to go up to a lady at 'Wicked' and ask 'Are you Folliage?' because she looked like her picture and I knew Folliage was in NYC. Instead I asked if she had relatives in Missouri because she looked like someone I knew! Sheesh!

lol at all of you - way way too funny. Now i know to say NOTHING about any of you. Tess- i only say 6 months because that is what they told me in the interview .... that "they do their own background checks and it usually takes 6 months" so we will see... sooner would be nice as well.
