2015, which card of yours just had the fraud? DH just got a text and someone is trying to buy clothes in MI with his Discover.
Oddly enough...he has some urination problems in his movies.
I'm pretty sure League of Their Own, that was a drunk pee in that scene. I'd say that's the opposite of a problem.
Started documents for each kid on addresses when the oldest started sophomore year in college. Since oldest two both have needed security clearances, they both actually thanked crazy old mom recently for this organizational effort.
I suppose this possibility is out there, but hoping one of them has a relationship that lasts longer than three months before I start getting my hopes up. Fortunately I have nieces so pink princesses are at least not completely foreign to me. But I was a tomboy growing up and so was my sister.
Or a symptom from the problem.
We have established that you're better at most things.
My mom didn't do it for those reasons, but because she's a pack rat, I'm sure she's got every address I've ever lived at somewhere too.
Yeah I called my mom to see if she has any records of them written down or in an email or something.
In unrelated news. I hate NWS offices that issue warnings on every marginally severe storm.
I have a little of that too. Can't bear to throw away any of their artwork, even the little toddler boy crayon scribbles. I scrapbook, but am several years behind. Was interesting though, the local hospital uses artwork from the elementary school, and when my husband went in for a colonoscopy last month, my 25 year-old's painting from sixth grade was hanging in his room. The nurse said that had never happened before.:smile:
Ha! That's exactly my mom. Any poor soul unfortunate to get close enough to me to be introduced to my mother will end up being subjected to seeing all of that stuff.
For Christmas this year, along with my gift, she sent a bunch of drawings and a journal I did in second grade. And knowing me as well as she does, she sent a card that inside said if I dared to throw it away she would haunt me for the rest of my life after she died.
I can go back as far as the house on Kenwick in Ft Worth that I lived in until I was five. From 6 months old to about 2 yrs old we lived on Tinker drive, but I don't remember the house. And we lived in Azusa, Ca when I was born, but my birth certificate says Covina...because that's where the hospital was. I think it's now "West Covina".
Most of them I located because I remembered street names (or being told the street names) and could remember what the house looked like, and I got crazy one day and started using Google street maps to locate all of them. The house we lived in when I was in high school, my parents bought for about 35K in 1969. Daddy sold it a couple years after my mother died, for about 100K in 1979 or 80. It is now a McMansion, unrecognizable from the exterior & interior remodeling. I couldn't even figure out which room was my bedroom! It just sold for 2.6 mill. The small town I grew up in (small city, really) changed drastically when Microsoft started up and all the Californians moved to the Seattle area. I don't even recognize Bellevue any more.

I like your mom.
She's a self proclaimed Flower Child about your age. You'd probably get along.
