Benefits

Benefits to walking Fuzz in the late morning hours: gaggle of geese hanging out on the trail, there must have been eight or ten, all watching and waiting to see how far towards them we would walk but not ready to run or fly off; ducklings learning their life skills from mom and dad, swimming, running on water, ducking under the tree leaves to hide from us; one baby duck running on the trail in front of us, trying to go faster than us but was not succeeding; instead the duckling hid in the weeds in the middle of the trail - pretty damn good hiding too because I couldn't see him as we walked past; bee keepers smoking their hives and the farmers tending to their large fields.

We haven't seen the eagles in a couple months now; I like to think they have two homes, one summer home in the mountains and one winter home in the valley.  Lucky eagles, must have got some inheritance from their parents.

No deer in a while either, but at least with the deer I know they are always around its just how well they hid in the tall weeds.  How can they not be around when the farmers land is easily accessible and there is fresh water at their feet?   Maybe the ducks chase them off, like a turf war or something.

I wonder what tomorrow's walk will bring for us.

You Are Not Taking Mine!

As of last Friday I learned my identity has been stolen; being accepted for a Visa credit card through my credit union the gentleman said, "You have been approved for a credit card with us; however, there are a couple medical bills on your credit report that are not good."  And my stress meter began to climb.

If I am not a cool 30 + woman, then I am some baby or young child who has visited a couple pediatric doctors locally.  It amazes me how desperate people become, whether financially to steal money from others or financial institutions or to steal identity's.  My opinion on this matter, especially now that I am a victim of identity fraud, is that if you are in the USA illegally, please go through our proper, yes proper, steps to become a citizen.  Not having gone through it I am guessing it is not easy or quick, but if you want to live peacefully in our free country, then peacefully walk the steps.

Two police reports and hundreds of minutes used on my phone plan, wait...I am now on a family plan, those weren't my minutes...sorry!  Not to mention the credit alerts and fraud alerts I have completed online, I am not sure what to do next.  Wait for the detectives to do their part and then what?   Wait for the hospital staff to come up with signatures from a year ago and then what?  Please rest assured, I will be pressing charges once there is a suspect, scratch that, suspects.  No matter how sad your story can be, there is nothing to remedy this by stealing another persons identity.  Why did you risk your child to be without parents in the near future just to say your child is a US citizen?  Will these thief's be jailed or deported?  Which scenario is best for me?  Probably not what is best for their child.  No matter, charges will pressed.

I am grateful my credit report is only showing the two medical charges and not any open credit accounts.  Also happy my finance information is safe!  I can't imagine where I would be right now if those were left to deal with as well, because as we know, my finances are not large...not even big.  And my credit accounts are what brought me to a high and worth credit score.  Now my credit score is not so high and mighty...but you keep posted on my fight!  High 700's here I come again!

It's not about the credit score, its about me; me saying who I say I am, me saying no one can ever do this again.  I do wish that I could stop it from happening to everyone once I have fought my war, sadly, others will have to walk the same path as I am starting.
