I had a truly freaky experience this evening. I filled out an application for a store credit card (we're getting new flooring in the kitchen) and the guy entered the information, then had to call the home office to finish the procedure. He answered some questions, then handed me the phone to answer a round of questions.
To verify that I am who I say I am and someone wasn't trying to open credit in my name, she asked a series of multiple choice questions. She named my middle son and I had to verify what age range he is in. Then she named off counties and states and I had to verify which ones we had lived in. Then she named my oldest son and I had to verify what state he lives in.
The fact that she had all this information (and who knows how much more!!!!) was very disturbing. Would y'all be taken aback by that sort of thing?

Knowing how much information is stored about us in our credit reports, that's to be expected for me. It doesn't make me comfortable, but ya know...

I've actually had that happen before. Been asked previous addresses that were so old I couldn't remember if they were correct street numbers or not! That's going waaaaayyyyy back!
Here in MO, they started a new law where we have to "prove" WHO we are when we renew our drivers license. Not only do you have to take in your birth certificate and social security card, but they demand proof of residency also (bank statement, tax receipts, utility bill, etc.) It's ridiculous. An illegal alien can drive without a license or insurance, use our ER's as their primary health care, receive government loans, etc., etc., .... and here we are having to "prove" who we are and where we live! Was that too much of a rant?

Your cat has a Maine Coon cat expression if I ever saw one.
To see the perfect Maine Coon, look left.

My boy catkid is a Maine Coon. 18 pounds of sweetness. He is 16 and still getting along fine--always been a laid back sort--unless there is catnip around--then he is a tiger.

Foreverredeemed......it's a good thing we moved!!!!! We lived in MO before they started all that and I STILL was never able to do anything at the DMV on the first visit! Every time I went, I had to go back for more documentation for whatever I was doing. I honestly felt as though it was for their amusement more than anything. 
It is SO GORGEOUS outside!!! I think I'll go for a long walk this evening.

Anyone have fun plans for the weekend? We are going to canoe a canyon tomorrow. I'll take photos and hopefully use on as my avatar.
I hope you get some great pics!
We're not doing anything exciting. We were suppose to go to a wedding tomorrow but I'm not feeling well, so we can't go. Linz is pretty bummed.

, and had a salad. The salad cancelled out any extra calories that the extra crispy brought to the table, so I feel quite virtuous.
