No, people don't look at the middle initials and they don't cross-check social security numbers either. Waaay back in the early 80's I was working on a matter with an attorney. A couple weeks after retaining him, I get a nasty letter from his office saying that he can't work my case because I had already rectified my problem by using another attorney. WTF? Turns out it was someone else in MO with my same name and same sort of problem. If he would have checked our addresses and Soc Sec numbers, he would have seen that we were not at all the same person. Stupid lawyers.

You missed a S_____ close to the end. Unless you didn't, then nevermind :)

I know I gave you a hard time about the Montana dig before, but I've been to Whitehall. I'm surprised they have electricity there to power their computers. Seriously, here is the picture that comes up when you google it: http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=27852

Perhaps they power things with a stationary bike, like Ed Begley Jr.?

I did not mean to post that twice. Sorry. I obviously got overly excited at the thought of the Begley on a bike.

KC - Sheesh. I'm planning that tomorrow will be the day I un-Elaine myself from the credit reports and white pages. What's really dumb is that the callers are so trusting. If someone is not paying bills, why would they assume they don't lie.
Jhianna - THANK you. It's fixed. Too bad I'll have to kill you now.
Carrie - Dang, that place is flat. I can see Ed B. pedalling down that road. It's an exciting idea.

Caroline

Hi, Montana!

I had a series of interesting phone calls when I lived in Jeff City. I don't remember the woman's name, but she had bad credit, overdrawn accouts, abandoned storage lockers, a DFS investigation, and a drunk guy waiting for her at a pay-by-the-hour hotel.

TheQueen

Caroline - not one hour ago did we get another call for DoppleGary. He isn't in the hotel yet, but he does seem to be on the lam or something.

Jhianna

LOL - I promise, I'm not an internet stalker! And I have a really bad memory, honest!

Sherry

We got repeated calls looking for my husband's ex-wife. I pretty much put them off until they call MY parents looking for her. The next time the collections people called, I said, "Here, let me get you her number. And her mother's number. And the number of her employer." They finally tracked her down and are now wage garnishing her to the tune of $6,000. WooHoo!

I have no middle name, that's why, when I reviewed my credit report, I was surprised to see an "H" listed as my middle initial. I have tried in vain for 10 years to get Transunion to remove the "H" from my credit report. Also, I get a lot of mail addressed to Mr. (my name). I don't know who the hell he is, but I wish he would quit signing me up for junk mail!

Miss Emish

wow. WOW. That is hilarious and crazy. Doppelganger! This all makes me very thankful my last name is so Polish it only has one vowel in it.

TheQueen

Jhianna - Then I will let you live.
Sherry - We tried to contact Mr DoppleGary at his [popular local business] but he wouldn't talk to us. We wanted his number, thinking he might someday want to talk to some of these people.
pageycooks - Maybe the H is for Hubby?
Miss Emish - (Hi! Or, Milo mi) It was so much easier when I had an unfamiliar name instead of my more common married name.
