My Birth Date

Portrait of Birthdays, Me

Since this question has come up several times already, I thought I should post on it.

I've been reluctant to post my "real" date (thus the month long celebration)because our family is slightly paranoid concerned about identity theft and we're trying to keep as much sensitive information private. My husband actually had his identity stolen once, but thankfully it was cleared up in a relatively timely manner. Though I've known friends to have their assets frozen for months and sometimes years, due to identity theft.

So in the spirit of my new mystery anthology I'm writing, I'd like to keep the date a mystery. I'll answer almost any question as truthfully and honestly as I can EXCEPT for those questions that have potential to come back and bite me in the.... well you get the idea!

BTW, thanks for ALL the comments and Beck is catching up! She now has 6 and Jennifer has 9!

The serf recommends leaving the birthday date a mystery. Identity theft is hazardous to you financial health. We had someone steal a credit card payment from our mailbox one day (my wife saw the person but couldn’t stop them). Since the thief had our payment check, we were worried he would use the account information to access our account. We called the bank and they told us there was no way the guy could get any money from our checking account. Four days later, he proved they were wrong. The bank replaced the money he had stolen and then they changed our account as we had requested the first day.

Thanks serf for commenting and confirming my paranoia. I think "the date" will remain a mystery.

Though I'm surprised no one has asked me about the year!

BTW, Serf, glad everything worked out!
