Fight Identity Theft

Jodi — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 16:17:09 +0000

Putting a fraud alert on you credit file is one of the first things you should do if you suspect someone is trying to open credit accounts in your name. It might be something you want to do, even if you don’t think identity theft is an immediate threat.

Fraud alerts are not a cure-all, however. A fraud alert can be ignored by creditors. If you suspect you’re a victim of identity theft, or have already become a victim, fraud alerts are only a start in trying to protect your credit. You also need to pay close attention to your credit report and consider a credit freeze – an even stronger option than a fraud alert. It tightens access to your credit data even more by allowing you to freeze all access to your credit file.

Battle Whirlpool

Jodi — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 04:30:13 +0000

I had a battle with the washing machine. My laundry area and kitchen (right next to the laundry) flooded. I ran a normal load, then I ran a Short Load. Two cloth diapers (we use them for cleaning and I couldn’t get them clean with dish soap) run on Low, using the Shortest wash. I used bleach (haven’t used that awful stuff in a long time). My dd goes into the kitchen and starts yelling The Kitchen Is Flooding! We trace it to the washer – and that Low load was all over the floor looking more like High Tide! **grrrr**
So quick – call one of the guys from work. He takes the tubing off, no holes. Check for signs of flooding elsewhere, nada. He thinks I overfilled the washer. I had it on low. I didn’t overflow it. Thing overflowed itself. He doesn’t think a pipe has burst, says keep an eye on the washer. I do not like my washer right now, nor do I want to use it to wash all those now wet towels.
