They won’t accept her tax returns, so no refunds or rebates. Can’t refinance or get credit. Her credit card company even sent a sympathy note when it canceled her account. It would be very funny if it weren’t such a huge hassle.

Todd said that being dead off and on makes everyday life difficult.

Apparently, being declared dead by the government is not a rare occurrence.

According to a government audit, Social Security had to resurrect more than 23,000 people from the dead in two years

I remember it vividly. It was 8th grade Ohio History, a required class. The teacher was a very sweet, older woman, near retirement. She loved history but could not control her class. The most unruly days were punctuated by the ding sound of spit wads hitting the center of the large, embossed Ohio State Seal.

There are times teaching my own kids I feel like the teacher in this comic. But, the rewards have far exceeded the frustrations.

Here’s the deal and the rules:

  • Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.

So here are seven random things about me:

  1. I’m the oldest of 8 kids from rural Northeast Ohio. Go Browns! Go Indians!
  2. I moved to Alaska when Amoco (now pronounced BP) hired me out of college as a petroleum engineer. I often spent the night on offshore platforms which included helicopter rides and sleepless winter nights because of the jarring crash of ice against the legs of the platform. But the food was excellent.
  3. One of my favorite places is our cabin in Willow, Alaska where it’s usually peaceful and quiet unless we invite a mob of family and friends for a great time. The upcoming annual New Year’s Eve bonfire on the lake is a big event for us. Lots of snowmachines, fireworks, and great food and fun.
  4. I love the Bible and am always looking for better ways to learn about it. Following Jesus is the greatest of adventures.
  5. I’m a birder. A few years back a friend and I and all our kids drove 3 hours to see a great spotted woodpecker that had been regularly at a feeder at Caswell Lakes. A very rare bird in a very remote place. We had a blast.
  6. I enjoy building stuff with my husband, usually woodworking like furniture and cabinets. There is also our never-ending cabin construction project.
  7. Coffee and good friends and good books are a few of my favorite things.

Tag! You’re it!

And it is Friday. The 8-year-old Serovich twins from Columbus, Ohio won an inventor’s prize for their wedgie-proof underwear. Here they are on FoxNews complete with a demonstration.
