I love to ready your website.    You are my alter ego!!    Most of my friends consider me to be conservative.  (what can you expect from growing up in a small Idaho town?) 

There is also a Kristen Lxxxx who lives 30 minutes from my home, but I don't like her.....she has horrible credit, so I constantly have creditors calling me.  I even had a man call me because he wanted to sue me for hitting his daughter with my car.....glad I was out of town that day.

Well, keep writing, it always gives me a good laugh.  Happy late Birthday!

Kristen Lxxxx

Thank you for the birthday wishes.

You know, we're probably all cousins somehow, since there are scads of Lxxxxs all over the damned place, and they all seem to be related. I know there are some in Oregon for sure, and that is fairly close to Idaho.

And now, a story.

Overlord Carol wrote a check this one time, and the store declined it because it wouldn't go through Telecheck, so she had to pay with a credit card.

When she called Telecheck, she was told that her husband had gone on a bogus check writing spree, which surprised her because he wasn't even on her checking account.

And her husband didn't even bank at the same bank she did.

Then after calling the bank and talking to a thousand different people, she found out that it was another guy with her husband's name, and that they hadn't bothered to check to make sure that there wasn't more than one person with that name, much less verify vital information or even check Social Security Numbers before putting the whammy on her bank account.

And lo, she became angry and threatened to bring a plague down upon their people, or maybe just said she was going to move all of her banking needs to another financial institution. And like unto a miracle, her account was magically unwhammied, and it was made clear upon the account of the man who was not her husband that she was not his wife, and furthermore, that no whammy shall be laid upon her person or her property as a result of his misdeeds. Amen.

I think she may have also used the "I work with the public and talk to a lot of people everyday, and I don't want to have to tell a whole slew of people that your company sucks" ploy that I like to periodically engage.

The end.
