So, I get to find out that I am a victim of identity theft THE DAY AFTER I GIVE UP DIET COKE?!!!!!!!
OH, THE HUMANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, this is going so super well thus far.
Not.
I feel like I have been thrown out of a freight train.
Then run over by a tractor.
Then peed on by the guy driving the tractor.
I need coffee.
(And a new, non-pounding head.)
And I may just say that giving up Diet Coke is enough and suck some java down and call myself a little failure-ish.
And then go kick some identity theif’s butt.
Ugh, though.
Just…UGH.
Filed under: 
oh honey!!!!
I’m SO sorry :-(
OH GOOD GOD.
I’m so sorry. What’s the extent of the damage to your credit, or do you know yet? What do you even do when you find that kind of thing out? I can’t even imagine.
Big hugs to you today, dear. Sounds like you’re gonna need them.
OMG… you poor thing. I do not think you are a failure at ALL, Loralee. You are going to need to be strong and a little Java is OK to help you through this long haul!
I hope everything works out for you and that you caught it early enough. I hope they catch the scum of the earth, no – the scum on the rocks beneath the earth, no – the scum on the amoeba under the rocks beneath the earth… yeah, that’s who stole your identity!
Good luck, HUGS!!
Whaaaaat? That’s horrible, Loralee! Is your bank being helpful about it or are they being a bunch of boogers?
Also, and please don’t shoot me, when I read this entry, the first thing that popped into my head was the pilot from Airplane grousing, “I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.”
*hugs* to you. Hope this gets resolved quickly.
Haha – I thought of Airplane too.
Oh no!!!! That is absolutely HORRID!!!!
Oh suck! How could anyone steal YOUR identity?? You’re a one of a kind original product! Frauds.
That’s just awful!! I hope you’re able to get it resolved as quickly and painlessly as possible. We’re here to support and help you get through it, which by the way, I know you can!
Wait – there’s someone else out there talking about their boobs on the internet and giving up Diet Coke??
(Make you laugh? Ok no. That SUCKS the big suck. It happened to me. Someone EMPTIED out my bank account on Christmas day. It is HOURS of work to repair the damage. I’m sorry. :-( )
Oh, that sucks SO MUCH. I hope you managed to catch it before they really got out of control with your info. It’s such a horrible violating feeling to have someone take your identity like that. I’m sorry. :(
Dude, who would steal your identity? Don’t they know you’re famous? And crazy? Crazy famous? That moron is gonna totally get it as soon as he/she tries to buy something and the cashier says “Gee, your legs don’t look NEARLY as hot as those pictures you posted. Are you sure you’re Loralee??”
Also, I gave up Diet Coke too. But have you heard of Diet Dr. Pepper? Different can, doesn’t count as cheating.
Just kidding! Stay strong! You can do it! Good luck!
Oh, I have *SO* been there! I found out when my husband & I attempted to take out a loan for our 2nd IVF & my credit was in the toilet when it shouldn’t have been. Make sure you put a Fraud Alert on all of your credit reports-this makes them have to contact you at phone numbers you designate before anyone can open a new line of credit in your name. It’s made things a little more difficult for me, but has been worth it, as it caught SOMEONE ELSE who tried to steal my info while I was in the hospital earlier this year. People suck. :)
Oh, shit. *hugs tight*
Have you considered buying a lottery ticket or walking through traffic? ‘Cause you clearly have some luck maelstrom brewing around you, and it could turn positive any second now!
Well, Damn.
Maybe it’s a sign saying you should cut back on diet coke NOT give it up totally. I mean really, think of how many people might loose their job if you give it up totally…
Sorry, that’s my inner evil voice (the one that talks me back on to pepsi when I give it up) speaking… it doesn’t like giving stuff up for anyone.
M
I am soooooo sorry… that really sucks. Can I help with anything?
Man that really sucks! I have heard identity theft is up because of the economy but how could they do that to YOU! You have been through enough already. I hope they find them and put them through the wringer!
When I was in college, I thought it was the best idea EVAH to drink mulitple 2 liters of coke a day, then I progressed to Mt. Dew. When I gave up caffeine cold turkey a few years ago, I killed 3 people, robbed 5 banks and smacked 12 deserving children upside the head. Was brutal.
So wait. Just clarifying: The children deserved to be smacked? (most likely) or they were “deserving children” like they deserved to be treated special or something?
Hehehe.
If you need a support system that has literally been to hell and back in the identity theft arena, talk to me sister. You would seriously not believe the suck that I’ve survived. Gah!
I mean it. Because talking to the people who haven’t been victimized will drive you freakin’ crazy!! Even crazier than enduring it all sans Diet Coke.
xo
If you find out who please smack them upside the head twice for me. People like that deserve it.
Sorry about the coke – going cold turkey? Not even a little a day?
Life is so not fair. I hope you get to kick the ass of the @#$%^&* jerk that stole your identity. They don’t know who they’re dealing with. There can be only ONE Loralee.
um yeah…that’s not cool at all!!! i think they have chosen the wrong “girl going through withdrawal” to mess with!!!
sorry about your day!! oh and i know it totally sucks, but they usually do let you off the hook for this nonsense. of course the worst instance for me was when a 60 year old African American woman used my credit card WITH a photo of my 19 year old pasty white self on it and got away with charging $10,000 in about 2 hours! so glad i went with the photo card for protection!
Had to laugh seeing the entry about giving up diet coke yesterday, as I had just made the decision that I was going cold turkey on the Full Throttle energy drinks today as well. I have not given in yet, but I did make myself an iced coffee drink this afternoon for my pounding head and i am still reserving the right to run back to the Full Throttle tonight…
I did the “addicted to diet coke thing” before in my life and gave it up cold turkey more then a couple times. But it appears I just have to have something addictive as I moved very easily onto moccha frappucino’s and now Full Throttles, each one I have had to give up in turn, only to find something else to replace it with! At least it is not cocaine!! And alcohol, well, I went through giving that up more then once long before diet coke was involved in the picture. Too old now, it just upsets my stomach.
Sigh….
I will be commiserating in cyber space….
Oh NO! I hope you can get it sorted out without too much pain.
(HUGS)
S H I T !!!!
That effing blows! I am so sorry.
wtf? omg! i’m so sorry. do they know who did it and if so, is it going to be fixed and did it cause any problems that can’t be repaired?
meh. you got it. i totally believe in ya.

oh no! your last post … the no-more-diet-coke one … i wrote me too me too!
and now?
me too! me too!
we’ve received a few calls over the course of the week telling us that such and such a purchase was made here and there …
thankfully we’ve had fraud protection on all of those cards. but still … it’s sucky and really hopeless feeling.
i’m sorry that you have to endure it too.
Please tell me you called Juan, Alberto and Sven and you are drinking a martini and smoking. Because that is EXACTLY what I would be doing. That and spending a bunch of money online and blaming it on the person who stole my identity. Don’t judge me.
omg. so sorry. we’re just ending our identity theft experience which landed us 42k in debt, without any of the cool televisions or anything to show for it. it’s a fucking journey, and a shitty one at that. I hope your bank is more helpful than ours was.
Reading this, I know what people feel like when they listen to me and say things like, “For the love of Pete, give yourself a break.”
You’re apologizing to the universe for drinking diet coke?? You need to be nicer to yourself. If you punch a homeless person in the eye, or if you call the IRS on your neighbor just because you don’t like their landscaping, then you can offer up apologies. Being human? Not apology-worthy.
Do you know the song Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk by Rufus Wainwright? You’d like it. And I’m totally writing about that next week. (Not you, the song, I’m sure you’re relieved to hear).
I’d must examine with you here. Which is not one thing I normally do! I enjoy studying a submit that may make individuals think. Also, thanks for permitting me to comment!
