Free Credit Report: You Don't Need to Pay For It. Really.

All you need is this web site:

https://www.annualcreditreport.com/

This is the official website to help consumers obtain a copy of their free credit report. It was set up by the three major credit bureaus.

You can get one copy of your report from each of these three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Trans Union, and Experian.

By law, you're entitled to one copy from each, every 12 months.

You DO NOT NEED TO SUBSCRIBE TO ANYTHING in order to do this.

And, once you have obtained your report(s), none of these agencies will EVER send you an email inviting you back. If you do get an email from Trans Union, or Experian, or Equifax, it is a fake designed to scam you.

Ignore the commercials, the happy songs, the catchy jingles.

Pay attention to https://www.annualcreditreport.com/.

LOST Finale

SPOILER ALERT: If you're timeshifting in order to watch the series finale, DO NOT READ THIS POST.

-------------------------------------

Now then:

You'd think that with over 100 hours of programming and a huge cast, they'd have figured out a better way to end it.

I mean, at least we got to see red doorknobs the last time characters were seeing dead people.

I'm sure that after I put a couple of nights' sleep on this, I'll begin thinking of all the good things about LOST.

But right now, I'm feeling cheated.

The writers took the easy way out, and I'm disappointed.

Nano Today

I did it.

50, 053 words, posted and verified at nanowrimo.org a couple minutes before 4 pm.

I'm gonna need another 20,000 words to complete the book, but hell, the challenge was 50,000 in 30 days.

Actually, that's yesterday's tally. Just now starting production for today.

Closing in on the Nano goal of 50,000 words by November 30!!!

This will be my first ever win on Nano. After three prior years of trying and failing.

Day 11: 17,681

Had a bad day where I got no work done at all during the lunch break. Somehow, the tap was open wide this evening, though, and I managed to make my daily output goal.

Whew.
