He's 95, and it's his first time flying. He's the pilot. No actually, he's my dad."<br /><br />Jeff says it was just one of those stupid Southwest Airlines jokes.

For all we know, they may be skilled in online hacking, and they may have found information about you from stealing your phone. They may already be using your credit card number to purchase items online. You ought to watch out for that.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.creditreport123.com/credit-scores" rel="nofollow">Cinthia Mull </a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05282277332014205624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648935243338725588.post-76999917437579578552013-01-22T07:16:47.846-08:002013-01-22T07:16:47.846-08:00Thank you, Annie!

I’m using one, as a matter of fact. It has the latest news on identity theft, which helps me become more aware of the current issues regarding the crime. Since Steve brought you back your iPhone, I suggest you try it out. The one I’m enrolled in has a 2-week trial period.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.identityguard.com/" rel="nofollow">Annie Valdez</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011922813615504153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648935243338725588.post-35101084453554765082013-01-20T17:22:45.578-08:002013-01-20T17:22:45.578-08:00david bowie! yes!david bowie! yes!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16352527452007476192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7648935243338725588.post-68680210040984651752013-01-18T03:48:13.559-08:002013-01-18T03:48:13.559-08:00Yikes!
