also my wife was telling me the other day "we didnt break any law by burrying the dog in our backyard, did we?" , for a minute I thought "I!!!" was drunk and misunderstood, she then went on to explain that doing that is illegal in Michigan.......

and regarding ID theft.......I dont understand why it is '*YOUR*' problem to fix it......when it was the bank/whoever gave you $ etc that did not properly verified who you were
