@33MHz My identity was used for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance in another state, so I’m revisiting what additional options are available.

@33MHz Yeah, credit freezing seems like the single biggest thing. I thought mine were, but apparently at least TransUnion was not. It is painful every time I try to interact with the credit bureau sites—for whatever reason, I usually have to call/mail. :(

Anyone here have an opinion on identity theft insurance/programs/tools/whatever?

Maybe I should have titled that _The Tale of the Mysterious Pizza Squeeze_ instead. Or _Surprise: Pizza Squeeze!_ Or maybe _The Surprising Mystery of the Mysterious (and surprising) Pizza Squeeze Surprise Delivery Mystery_?

The Mystery of the Pizza Squeeze

So. This is odd. I sometimes use a (possibly not very popular) food product called Contadina Pizza Squeeze. I ran out. The grocery seems to have stopped carrying it. I order two bottles from Amazon to use while I ponder either a replacement or doing without going forward. They don’t arrive until next week; they haven’t shipped yet (I just checked). Today, I find a Walmart bag on my porch with nothing in it besides six bottles of Contadina Pizza Squeeze. Wut?! Is this some gift from the universe? Is there another, nearby fan of the now-harder-to-get product whose order was mis-delivered? Has a nerve agent been injected into these bottles? Did a friend overhear the lament at the grocery store and think this would be kind and/or funny? What are the chances? What do I make of this? …

Well, among many things you can say about 2020 — it had some decent metal album releases.

I still hope 2021 is a bonanza of great music, across the board.

All the quarantining hopefully led to some serious music writing and riff woodshedding.

@Kabuku Yep. Sigh. They are bogus entities. And their web sites _suuck_.

Anyone have a recommendation for an identity theft service?

I have to deal with the junk myself alone this time, but would like to avoid some of the pain in the future.

Credit agencies are the devil.

I have not searched for any—and I’m not Lazy Pnutting asking you to do it πŸ₯Έ—but I wonder what “home robbery” stats have been like during the pandemic. Did they go down because more people are at home 24-7, or maybe go up because more people are in need??

Today was the kind of day where you work like crazy, have no time to check email, and then when you finally do check email, you get upwards of 50 GitHub notifications.

Srsly. Overdue.

Biden is in. Kamala is doing it. I’m still employed. Family is healthy. My 80yo father gets his first covid shot on Saturday.

Things feel good.

Is this the theme of 2021:

“Misplaced Patriotism”?

@33MHz That’s a bummer about the shipping. They’re a local business for me, so it’s all the nicer to support them.

I should add that the latest of these for me is also the best yet: Middle West Spirit’s [middlewestspirits.com].

I’ve had Bailey’s Irish cream. Two brands of bourbon cream. And tequila cream.

They are all delicious.
