Silly me ... When I signed up for a HOTMAIL account, I decided I wouldn't divulge my income. Silly me ... I put zero as my income. Almost every day, and more often on weekends, I get e-mails from one company or another offering me the opportunity to borrow (at 'competitive' rates) so I can establish or re-establish a credit history, pay my bills, or just go wild. I couldn't imagine I'd be getting these 'offers' if I hadn't claimed total poverty. Just a warning, we're being watched. Cheers from all of us, MPD Witch. P.S. I'm throwing them off the trail --- Multiple Personality Disorder Witch is just PMS Witch in disguise. Edit --- If NASDAQ continues for another month like it has in April, I'll be answering my 'we can help your poverty' e-mails. I wonder what Microsoft needs trade at before Gates gets the same stuff in his in-basket?
