someone (I think immigration) came to visit personnel at that company and found over 30 illegals using the same social security number. I guess that company didn't save much on that little venture.

Have to add...kinda funny to me (sm)
She also frequently calls and asks ME to come spend the weekend there too. They live an hour away. Whenever my husband(her son) is out of town she will call and say "I know you will be all alone over there and I thought you might like to come spend the weekend while he's gone." When I go, she wants to dictate everything we do, and a good portion of the time I end up sitting on the couch reading magazines. What I have recently started doing was saying, "No but you are welcome to come stay here." and she always says no, she has way too much to do!! Well,I do too! LOL!
Kinda funny, I used to be...sm
I used to be horrible at spelling. I mean it was BAD! My mom actually considered getting me some special help becuase I couldn't spell quite simple words up through middle school. After that it started to get a little bit better (becuase we had Word with spellcheck lol). However, after I became an MT...that all went away. I'm still not the BEST speller in the world (use my spellcheck frequently, but that might just be from typing too fast), but I'm about 1000 times better!!! Well thats one good thing that came out of this job. 
Had to post this, very funny, but kinda sad too for the poor thing

My feathered BRAT -- might be kinda graphic but funny too
Sitting here trying to post and work all day, with Tooki (AKA as MS Paris Hilton BOID) -- routine is AHH mom is out of bed -- " I can SCREAM for attention" -- this is while "mom" is in the bathroom being female etc, getting water for coffee -- k -- coffee on, outside for first cig (for mom) of the day, boid on shoulder, LARGE POOP on pavement, table or tree (sorry) -- after that, its treats and cuddle on moms shoulder for about 30 minutes.
We then come back in the house and mom does her computer clean up which is daily -- getting coffee ready and at this point, Tooki is trying to climb on the bed, then up on the headboard, and last trick if the blinds aren't open, we try to climb up them and chew them up in the process.
Mommy and daddy bought me a swinging perch from Santa Bird, but I HATED it in my cage, so what daddy did, was take my perch and put it in the door and with the perch in the door chain, I will climb on the perch, then the door chain and the front door.
My favorite thing though is to be in the tree right outside my door, and I have a "wild bird bud -- I think he is a blue jay and my "mom" says he's NOT my type -- I'm a sun conure after all, but with the cold weather here in Florida, mommy tries to make sure all of my "buds" are taken care of.
I know one thing, -- IM ALL GOIL and spoiled rotten!!!!
Love Tooki

But I like Tony Danza better. Going to sing that from now on. LOL
Funny story...sm
I have 2 teenagers and 1 in college. I get to work in peace most of the time. The biggest emergency I had this spring was when my daughter drove to school early for band practice and her younger brother, who doesn't drive yet, failed to arrange for alternate transportation and then also missed the bus, so I had to stop to drive him to school.
Can't help you, but funny story
My daighter taught my father how to text. He sent one to my neice. she called him right back and was like "UUUHHHH, Papaw.....did you... just... text... me????? If I have to send a text to one of my children, I call one of my nieces (they can keep their phones with them at their school, but my children can't so I will have one of them send a text for them to call as soon as they get out of school and turn their phones on)and have them do it for me.
Got another funny story.......sm
The same DD is now 16 in high school. The other day she came in my office and says mom, where is that "umbilical cord?" I said what thinking my brain was on work and I wasn't hearing her correctly. She repeated it x3. She meant "extension cord" but had just dissected a pig at school!
My other DD is 12 and we were at the baseball game the other day waiting to pick up the 16-yo when I urgently needed to go to the restroom. My 12-yo says use the ones at the concession stand. So I pull up close to the concession stand and there are 2 doors, neither with signs on them. I said which door is the bathroom. She said I don't know I think they both are. I said well which one is the ladies because I don't want to walk in on a man. She says mom it doesn't really matter, everyone goes in them both all the time, it isn't like there is a "uterus" in there anyway. I said a what? She said a "uterus" you know those things that guys stand up and use the bathroom in! Of course, she was talking about a urinal. About the same time as I was explaining what a "uterus" was out comes a lady from the women's restroom and I said oh look there is a uterus in there see! Most all women have them, lol.
Can you tell my kids are exposed to medical terminology? 16-yo is taking A&P classes so we have been going over a lot and I have been helping her to study and learn. I think they are learning too much!
Funny story, please don't think I am trying to offend
When we finally told my 86yr old grandfather (a very old-fashioned man from a very smal town) that my cousin was marrying a black girl he was totally fine with it, Thank heavens! Then the next day another relative asked him how he felt about "John" marrying a black girl, and he started saying "Black? Black? I thougt they said blind". Once he finally realized what was actucally going on he was still fine with it. I say if you are happy, then please continue to be happy. There is just not enough happiness in this world right now.
Sorry no advice...but funny story-
my husband went to sit in a meeting at work and everyone immediately smelled a really terrible odor in the room. After around 15 minutes they just couldn't stand it anymore and they began to check things out. One guy opened a drawer of a desk and found an old bacteria-infested Caeser salad in the drawer! They said from the looks of it, had been there a while. I about died laughing when he told me that story. Anyway, old food can get nasty...the fact that it was a used refrigerator who knows. Maybe something got into somewhere and is multiplying.
Hope you find out what it is and it gets resolved! :)
No advice but another funny story
My daughter bought a brand new stainless steel fridge and before too long it really started stinking up the joint. She called the repairman who came out and spent quite a long time and finding nothing wrong. He told her maybe it was something in the fridge itself, but she poo-poo'd this 'cause she's such a meticulous person, but not wanting to be rude she dutifully started looking, and came upon a bowl of old moldy beans, yep - darn right gassy. Boy, was she mortified.
Funny story from Ohio
Seems there was a kitty loose, causing traffic woes ... see link
that reminds me of a funny story sm
Remember back in the day when flip flops were called thongs?
Well, my daugher (she was about 15 or so) and I were shopping with one of her friends and she said something that was funny, but 'back in the day' my mom would not find it humerous. I told her that she was lucky because, 'my mom would have reached back, took off her thong, and slapped me with it.' She looked at me in horror and her friend in disbelief... It finally dawned on me what they were thinking and after I stopped laughing hysterically, I explained... ahh... the good ol' days!
News story - did anyone else here this - too funny
I was just watching the news and there is a story about a lady who won a prize at some baseball game - her prize?.... a funeral and a casket. The catch. She has 30 years to claim her prize. We are just rofl.
I can hear the annoucement over the loudspeaker at the game....."And congrats to our winner Mrs. ----. You have just won....a buriel!
 
Telling a funny story on myself
My foot pedal got stuck just now. I got it unstuck (and realized just how dusty my floor is!), but then it wouldn't play. I'm messing around and messing around with it and it will won't play. Crap, right? I can't afford another one until pay day on the 5th, and at that point I've lost 5 more days into the new pay period.
Well, duh. Somehow I've managed to close the browser window that my voice player is in. Of course the foot pedal won't work. There's nothing to play.
Where's the slapping the back of the head smiley when you need one??!?!
Have to share a funny story about my parents sm
My parents are vacationing in Florida right now and yesterday while laying by the pool the saw a duck swimming in the pool. The pool area had a fence around it and they didn't want the duck to get stuck in the area. My mom described how ridiculous they must have looked chasing this duck around the area and trying to shoo it out the gate. Finally a man on an upper balcony said "Sir, you realize that duck can fly don't you?". I swear my parents are a hoot! Chop this one up for dumb and dumber.
Funny, that's my exact same story here in New York! sm
I'll believe it when I see it, too. Also, with the feds, we were supposed to get $1,200 back - the feds said there was a mistake in the filing and now we OWE $1,100. That's some mistake, but we can't find it, nor can the software company that we used!
We are close in that we live about five miles from each other, but we aren't close like good frie
By husband and BIL WERE pretty good friends, though.
If you are set on closing, do not close the old ones, close a newer account first.
Your credit is based on a mix of things like history, types of accounts, mix of credit (revolving vs installment), usage/utilization of credit available, and payment history. Where closing could hurt your score is the part of the score that averages history of accounts/length of credit. If you decide to close, close out a newer account first.
The best way to protect from ID theft as far as credit is to freeze your credit reports. It's around $10 per agency to freeze them. Each credit reporting agency tries to sell your their own monitoring plan when you get to the how to freeze information, so make
sure you are freezing it.
You can't freeze it over the net they each require a letter by registered mail. It takes about 1 month to freeze it.
Right now you can place a fraud alert on your reports for free. The credit *should* not extend credit or do a credit line increase without calling the phone # on your credit report first. You only need to do it at one credit reporting agency and the other ones will be notfied. The number for equifax fraud alert 1-888-766-0008. It's automated.
If you are concerned about ID theft try one of the monitoring plans. I've tried a few of them and Equifax has the best one. Their Score Watch is great, you set the limits to be notified and any change they send an email literaly the next day. I used it after I discovered ID theft. It might be a waste of money for you. I would place the fraud alerts, then the freeze, and check your reports 2x per year.
I've had ID theft as far as my name/social but what concerns me more than credit ID theft is bank account theft. I don't know how we can fight that. It seems like consumers get the raw end of the deal as far rights when deposit accounts are stolen.
Locking doors
I'm the same way. I always keep my doors locked, no matter what. My hubby thinks that since we live in a rural area, we really don't need to, and he thinks I'm paranoid, but I do it just the same. We had lived in our home for about 6 months when a man came up to my front door and tried to open it. I had just gotten out of the shower and was running around in a towel. He was looking for a home that was for sale, which was down the road. I was so glad I had the habit of locking my doors!
Also you can just replace the doors
and drawer fronts if the framework of the cabinets are in good shape. Sometimes that gets a little iffy though if cabinets are old and no longer standard sizes. Home Depot and Lowe's sell a pretty good variety
I always keep my doors locked
There could be other people who want to come in besides just someone you know. I find this incredibly ridiculous in this time and age to keep open doors.
I always keep my doors locked sm
but in the house we used to live in you couldn't see into the den (we had french doors) duing the day. The room just looked dark. When my MIL or SIL would show up they would ring the bell and then they would press their face up to the door to see if anyone was in the room. I think this was worse than just walking in without knocking.
Locking my doors from now on.....
I had a very scary experience this morning and wanted to pass on my experience so everyone out there can protect themselves a little better too.
I live in a very rural area that is largely a farming community. We don't have town police, only county and they have to cover a very large county so if we need them in a hurry, it could take a little while. It took 27 minutes for them to respond to my 911 call this morning.
My husband left town this morning on business so it was just me and the kids home alone. I never lock my doors and when I am working, my back is to the front door.
About 40 minutes after my husband left, I was working along, listening to music softly while the kids were still sleeping. I never heard a car, car door, nothing.
The next thing I know, the dogs are going crazy in my bedroom. I hop up to see what's going on. I just thought someone was walking on the road and they were barking at them.
I walked into the bedroom and there stood a young hispanic male, probably in late teens or early 20s. He had just walked right into my bedroom through the sliding glass door. Evidently, he did not see my two pitbulls sound asleep on the bed.
So there this guy is standing, my dogs have him trapped between them and the door he closed behind him. I ran out to grab the phone and my gun. He then opened the door and split with both dogs tearing off after him.
There was an older model white toyota sitting in the driveway with another hispanic male sitting in the driver's seat. The runner jumped over the retaining wall to the driveway below and the guy in the car then saw the dogs running and he tried to get out of here in a hurry, slamming into a concrete post that our log splitter is chained to. Part of their bumper was laying in the driveway.
Just two weeks ago, someone busted out a plate glass window in a house not too far from here and took a bunch of electronic equipment.
So I'm standing out front, waving my 30-30 in one hand and the phone in the other as they take off up the road, which is a dead end. I went back into the house because by this time the kids were awake and wondering what was going on.
Two deputies showed up 27 minutes later. One goes up the road and the other takes my statement and helps me round up my dogs, which were pretty riled up still. Those dogs were just running circles around the yard.
The first deputy finds the car up the road, calls the second, he goes up, they were walking up one of the old horse trails and found the two kids hiding behind some rocks. Fools.
Both of them are behind bars now and..... I am no longer leaving my doors unlocked EVER. I'm also keeping a few shells at my desk in case I ever need to load my 30/30 in a hurry. I didn't have time to grab any this morning or I probably would have blown a few holes in that car and those kids.
I always lock my doors
my husband can come home and I never even hear him enter the house. My dogs usually bark at strangers but not at my hubby. If they are in the backyard the bark at leaves falling off trees, so I don't know if they might be barking if I am in danger or not. My son laughs cause I lock our glass stormdoor when it is warm outside and leave the large door open. He says there is no way that little piece of glass is going to stop someone from coming in but I say at least I will hear the glass break. I'm really glad you are okay.
I keep my doors locked because my
office is in the basement and I cannot hear a thing, not even the doorbell. My kids will come home from school and even though I know the time they get home they will come in my office to let me know they are home and scare the living daylights out of me. Glad everything turned out okay for you and they caught the guys.
I always lock the doors/windows too, but
then today I saw this.

Scarier stuff every day.
i read that the mob broke the doors down
if they got it on camera, i think whoever knocked this person down should be held accountable.
We lock our doors, rural here - sm
we do not have much crime here but that may change with people out of work, etc. We have on occasion left doors unlocked when we go out for a while, by accident, and all has been well. We live on a private road though with 13 houses so we all look out for each other and strangers cars driving by (only 1 way in or out), etc. Routinely leave the dining room back door unlocked just because we let the dogs in and out there and forget to lock it when we go out. But one of the first things we did when we moved in was I insisted on key deadbolts on the front door and the door from the garage which opens into our family/great room and our 3 back doors (too many doors on this house--have 4, one is a slider). So we have double locks on those doors, cannot hurt. Everyone I know locks up, foolish not to no matter where you live.
Do you lock your doors at night?
I thought of this question last night while reading. Do you lock your doors at night? Do you ever on purpose leave your car keys in the ignition?
I guess I just assumed everyone locked their doors. I know in the old days people in rural communities didn't all lock their doors, but I figured they do now. But I read a couple of books recently which were set in modern times and they talk about how no one ever locks their doors in their small towns. Do you, or know of anyone, who does not lock the door to their house?
Oh yes, the doors get locked at night...sm
My husband is a truck driver so I am home alone a lot. Even when he is home though at night I lock the door. You never know what kind of people are out there these days. I never leave my keys in my car either.
Dad went to high school with Jim Morrison from The Doors - sm
Saw the picture of him in the year book. My dad had a few classes with him and said he was just as weird as he was on stage. Imagine the entire class of 1961 in suits and ties and him in leather and a T-shirt. My dad recalls him loving to totally shock people in school with how he dressed and what he said. Imagine that!
Yes well at least he's smart enough to do what he's doing behind closed doors. He's no priz
x
yeah, I lock my doors, but have been told sm
it is not necessary. I just leased a new place I am moving into next week, and she told me she never locks her doors, could barely come up with a door key for the new place for me.
MT, work at home. I am more concerned about locking the doors when I am at home than when I am gone. Not a lot of crime in this area, thank goodness, just don't want to be intruded upon.
At 9 months old, the baby can't open doors, so...
what we did with my son in my house was close all doors to contain him in the living areas, thus, away from bathrooms and other potential hazards. Then, all you have to do is baby proof the main areas.
AnsweringMachines, DeadBolts, Offices With Doors
Yup, we've ALL been through this.
Maybe a separate IM name for work only would help? Obviously, you wouldn't want to tell your family and friends what that name is!
Oh, and you might want to change your voicemail:
Thank you for calling the _____ residence. If you are calling during business hours, please leave a message and we'll call you back as soon as we're home from work.
Working in the dining room would positively drive me crazy. Been there, done that, and nobody liked it! I even considered putting my desk in my walk-in closet for awhile, but I couldn't figure out where to string the electric cords and the internet connection.
Good luck!
Know how you feel, I scratch my back on doors or corners (sm)
rubbing up against them like an old cow on a tree or post. Maybe I ought to check into finding one of those too. Though my family enjoys laughing at my unusual gyrations.
Change the locks on your doors, nail the windows shut
and fill out a restraining order against him.
You're so funny!!! That's what I wanted - funny redneck stories
Just kinda tired of my house looking like Sanford and Son - LOL!
Yes, having him is kinda like having a
bright side. But, like he said tonight, he's leery of the car even though everything looks great. We're the kind of people who buy something after thinking it over for a long time, and even when we do that, it turns out to be a dud. This time, he bought it after crawling underneath, checking the engine, taking it for a ride, and even checking the trunk out, yet he's afraid, as I am, it will turn out to be a dud again.
We just have no luck. For instance, he plays a daily number every day. It's always off 1 digit, yet if he doesn't play, that very number he might have played would come up straight. See what I mean?
I've been with him since 1965 with a break of 2 years in between, so I know about being alone and single. You will find your Prince Charming (if there is such a thing anymore) someday. Just have to keep looking in the right places. I wish you luck and happiness.
I guess I'm just asking everyone to keep your fingers crossed for us that something will turn out right for a change.
You're being kinda mean
Funny because I am close to getting a divorce and was just thinking about this type of thing all day myself.
My son is 9-1/2 and he got an Easter basket from me and from his grandma today. My daughter is 7 - she turned 7 yesterday - had a big party and still got an Easter basket from me and her grandma today. They both had toys and candy in them - and muscial toothbrushes and new toothpaste ;-) from me. It doesn't matter at all if her birthday is near Easter - has nothing to do with it. And she is not too old!!!
Eating candy around holidays will not cause cavities - they come from poor dental hygiene and eating bad foods regularly. So, can't blame that on the Easter basket.
You are creating a feeling of competition that doesn't have to be there. If you love her, be glad for her that so many people love her. When I finally go through with my divorce, I want as many loving relationships as possible in my children's lives, whether I am comfortable with it or not, because I love them and I want them to be happy. Shouldn't you feel the same for your granddaughter?
Kinda reminds me of...
Dog the Bounty Hunter, with less cursing and more humor! No joke, first few times I watched Dog I was going "oh my gosh, Stephanie Plum!!" Books are getting so expensive these days I hesitate to buy anything new anymore, but by golly, I'll buy ANYTHING by Janet Evanovich, especially the Stephanie Plum series. I recommend them to anyone I meet who likes to read.
So...who is pulling for Ranger and who is pulling for Morelli? Joe's cool and all but I tell ya - Ranger has it going on! I really, really, really wanna see Stephanie hook up with him. I just have the feeling that Morelli is gonna cheat on her...just a matter of time. What do you all think?
my kinda desserts too...
yum!
that's kinda crazy.
she has been gone for a long time. I wonder if she's going to come back to help Jack with this mess he has created. She really is good for his character when he goes into bad things. Wonder how old Abby will be.
I'm kinda in the same boat
My 30+ year old stepson is supposed to be moving out today. Believe me, it won't last. He is the filthist person I have ever met and for his age is VERY naive and gullable. Won't be long before others see what I have been trying to tell them for years. He's lazy, selfish and totally irresponsible. It's just a matter of time before he gets a DUI. He totally disregards any advice or help my husband gives him and listens to his loser friends. If my husband lets him move back in.........that's the day I move out! I've got news for my husband....HE WILL BE PAYING MY RENT --- since he has the money to keep supporting his ADULT (and I say that loosely) children! Good riddins' to him!
I need help --- kinda long ---
I am seriously in need of some help and I know it. I am so depressed that I cannot function anymore. My income is down so much that I am getting ready to be evicted from my rental (after losing my home earlier in the year), I am by myself all the time because I have to stay chained to this computer to try to get work as it comes in. I took an inhouse job, but figured out tonight that after gas money and buying clothes to wear to work that I am only making about $60 in 6 hours and I can do that in 2 if I am at home in front of this darn computer. However, my expenses are based on $200 a day!
I am crying all the time about everything. I can't help it. I have cried my way through 2 hours of typing tonight.. I am short tempered, the littlest things set me off.
I don't want to kill myself, but I don't think it would be a big loss "waking up dead".
I have no insurance so I cannot go to the doctor...
I have no relationship with my parents or my sisters anymore (have not spoken to any of them since Thanksgiving day). My children are driving me crazy. My son is irresponsible and out in the streets (he's 19) and I worry about what is going to happen to him and feel responsible for providing him a place to live even though he is not working.
My daughter works and has 2 kids and I feel bad because right now I cannot mentally, physically, or financially be a good "nana" to my grandbabies. Then, my daughter just called me tonight and told me that she is having a LEAP emergently and that the doctor said he is going to have to take so much it would be dangerous for her to ever have children so he is going to do a tubal while he is there... this just serves to remind me that I was supposed to be having paps every 3 months for precancer and so far it has been over 3 years because I lost my insurance and cannot afford to go to the doctor - or pay for the treatments required if I do go - and now if I got insurance, it would all be preexisting anyway...
My checking account is overdrawn by $600 because Dish network put a hold on $500 while waiting on their equipment to be returned and I did not know they were going to do that, so now the stuff that was already outstanding is bouncing and I will be probably be $1000 in the hole before it is all over...
I don't know if too much else can go wrong, but I can't handle too much more and I need some calgon or something -
sorry to unload, but ya'll are all I have right now...
What is going on with me? kinda long - sm
I feel anxious all the time about the most mundane things. This started about 8 months ago in earnest, but I have never been an easgoing person. I feel as though I am off the charts now, however. Example: Car renewal tags normally arrive in about 2 days from the time I send the check in. Four days have now passed. I am worried sick something is wrong and I will not get them back and the tags will expire. Hubby just rolled his eyes when I told him about this, and I do know that nothing is probably wrong and they are just behind this year, but I am dwelling on it and about another hundred totally mundane things right now and imaging the worst possible outcomes. It is like somebody turned on a switch 8 months ago and I cannot turn it off. Not been able to sleep without taking Ambien CR since this all began 8 months ago because I will wake up every 2 hours, be awake for 2 hours, etc., and I do not do well without my sleep. Started back on BCPs after 20 years because I thought it was perhaps hormone issues, but they have not helped much at all after 5 months. I have also had a complete physical with all kinds of biophysical testing and blood work and am in excellent health in every way. Not sure what else to do here and am really frustrated by the constant anxious state that is making me (and my poor husband!) miserable. Should I go see my PCP , a shrink, what? 
You're kinda mean.
Maybe she has a speech impediment or something. Maybe she's just not as intelligent as you are. Either way, correcting people and treating others like they're stupid isn't a good way to jack yourself up. Nice superiority complex you've got there, sweetie.
This one's kinda long
My cousin is a retired nurse. When she was old enough looking to be considered mature (ahem), there was a particular male patient on the floor who kept yanking IT out every time a female nurse came into his room. Nothing the nurses said to him seemed to matter - he just wouldn't stop. Finally they sent my cousin in to straight him out.
Nurse: You know, Mr. Overexposed, I hear you've been exposing yourself to the nurses. Just between me and you, you really ought not to do that. You know they're feeling so sorry for you.
Mr. Overexposed: They feel sorry for me? Why?
Nurse: Well, Mr. Overexposed, I wasn't going to say anything, but apparently they think it's so sad that you're so small down there...
Mr. Overexposed turned over a new fig-leaf instantaneously!
Sweet for me... but then again I'm a "sweet kinda gal" nm
