Comments (17)I use different names and passwords. I have never used my name, sorry I am not really Shannon I just liked the name. I may reveal a lot of personal stuff but don't think anyone would find me any sooner than if they hired a private eye. I feel really bad for my dd. When you google her name a really, really hot 20ish girl from Vegas pops up. It worries me that some freak out there might think that is really my dd. No matter how much I have tried to tell her and her friends about personal info online I am always amazed at how much they put out there. Which is why we are trying so hard to make sure she knows about creepy stuff in case she tries to have a myspace or whatnot without our knowledge. GD- is that you in your other career? Unfortunately my dh has a common name. A local child support agency decided to search every guy with that name in CA and start garnishing taxes, wages etc. They served 5 different guys, non of which had same soc sec as offending dad. When we asked why they did not bother to at least check the soc sec number to see if they had the right guy they said "they just don't have the manpower". After speaking with the Attorney General's office we got the county to send us a letter admitting what they did and that they were wrong and would take responsibility for any harm it might cause. Dh's info got mixed up in the credit bureaus with the offending dad. It has taken years of checking every few months to make sure my dh's info stays unmixed up with the bad dad....See MoreI have to tell you a funny story...a little long
Comments (10)Candy, that's an idea. I'll give that some thought. My MIL is notorious for giving back the presents you get her. It may take several years but they always come back. Not because she doesn't like them, she just thinks we need it more than she does and hates that we spend money on her. (After 30 years in the family, I have learned to buy something that I really like.) She does all of her children that way. But I'm sure my little scissors will never find their way home because she loves to embroidery. I have several pillow cases that she has done. They are beautiful. She is blind in one eye and getting to where she can't see as well as she used to so there are some mistakes made but that makes them even more special. Some of the things we have gotten her such as embroidery thread, needles, iron on transfers and pillow cases she does not return, except the pillow cases after she has embellished them. Trust me she will not offer them back after she uses them compared to what she has been using. I have to shake my head and laugh every time I think about it. IÂm going to put this story it in my grandchildrenÂs scrap books with a picture of her embroidering. It will be a funny memory. By the way, do you hear harp music and angels sing when I mention the scissors like I do? I'm sure MIL heard them when she used them for the first time....See MoreDo you have a DIY Disaster story?
Comments (5)I have one but it didn't happen to me- it happened to another woman in woodworking class. She had removed some interior walls to open up the space. A woodworker friend stopped by and commented, it kinda looks like the walls are leaning. The house ended up collapsing and she had to tear it down. You prob cant use it, since it's not me, but you must admit its a good story!...See MoreYou have to read my story on internet meetings !-
Comments (11)there's more than one glass factory and galleries in Seattle. also need to consider the display of Chihuly's glass, at the old railroad terminal in Tacoma. do a google search for that.. there are fabulous works of glass art at the airport at Sea-Tac and so many things, one couldn't see them all in a day or even two. I met up with chickeemama about two weeks ago. we started out with breakfast at a favorite restaurant and headed straight over to Shipwreck Beads..from there it was a fast trip halfway up the loop on Hood Canal. Back to Olympia to some fun quirky places and a coffee factory and back to Shipwreck. not nearly enough hours in that short day...it's good I live fairly close, so we can do this again one day.
