John always tells me don't worry when I destroy all of those unwanted
applications that we receive through the mail for new credit cards, anyone
trying to get more credit in our name or trying to clean out a bank account
will be wasting their time. :) After trying to help children and
grandchildren through the years we stay tapped out...And who would want to
kidnap an old lady and old man like we are...so don't worry about that
either. Think if anyone wants to assume an identity we would be the last
ones in the US that anyone would pick to become. <smile>
