Your son, like most people who get Lyme, probably had a bulls-eye rash and/or recalled being bitten by a tick. A bulls-eye rash is enough to diagnose Lyme disease. Not only that if you start coming down with symptoms of Lyme right afte

Facebook doesn't only know what you are telling it - Facebook knows a lot about you even if you don't have a Facebook account. They create "shadow profiles" of non-users through info about you your friends give to Facebo

My last phone had Facebook as one of those apps that you couldn't uninstall. I was so pissed, I've never had any sort of Facebook app on my phone nor do I want one. Even if I never signed in. Absurd.

Really interesting analysis. I always wondered if the general quality of online relationships is less than those formed elsewhere. I mean, if you found your partner on a dating site I wonder if you are more likely to break up because you kn

Thank you for the empathy. The problem is it wasn't a designed system, it just came about by itself slowly over time. Social security numbers were never designed to be used in any way outside of social security.

You technically can get a new social security number under special circumstances but I think that is really an exception. https://faq.ssa.gov/link/portal/34011/34019/Article/3789/Can...

1) There are free sites to monitor your credit such as Credit Karma. No need to pay hundreds a year. They even send out emails whenever you open up a new line of credit. Lifelock is a huge scam and has been fined by the FTC. 2) Just being a

Someone fraudulently used my social security number. It is such a sick and terrible feeling knowing that your number is "out there" and can be used by anyone for a whole host of things. It feels horrible and really, really violati

Its actually more common than you think, people can be pretty naive. These people create a fake company name and website and then post "work from home" jobs listings on monster.com.

So the IRS has a form you can send in to put a fraud alert or some type with them so I guess they will give your tax return special attention to see if it is really you next time. Also - I'm confused - I have an e-file PIN. You don

They sell little stickers you can put over your keys to blank them out so you don't peek. My parents told me when they learned to type in school on a typewriter in the 60s that they had typewriters that came with only unlabeled keys.

You may set your beneficiary for almost all of your bank accounts and financial accounts. You just have to notify them of your beneficiary. EDIT: This may only be for retirement accounts?

I doubt these documents would be worth anything without getting notarized. Among other problems. Getting something notarized runs from free-around $2 so it's hilarious they expect you to track down two impartial witnesses but don'
