That’s why I’m writing. I don’t have an account number. I didn’t sign up for an account. You wrote to me to thank me for an account I did not request. And now you want me to give you my home address? I think we have a failure to communicate here.
Surely you can look me up by my email address, since you managed to somehow appropriate that along with my name from somewhere. I already have some security issues with your company. Don’t you agree it is rather unreasonable for you to ask me to provide you with my street address when I didn’t even give you my name and email address?
My name as you had it in the email you originally sent to me, is # #####. There is a misspelling in the last name; do not feel obligated to correct it. The email address you have on file for me is the one that this email has originated from, #########. That should be sufficient for you to verify that I am who I say I am, and proceed with my request.
I will continue to await confirmation of the deletion of the account I never asked for.

I hope Loud Obnoxious Officer of a Completely Different Department gets what he deserves.
Damn! I would look into it some more if I was you.
well, getting chewed out at work emphatically bites. i hope he ends up with rotten egg on his face.
in this virus ridden computer age, doubleday is pulling off this? they don’t know who their fooling with today. i may have been a club member when i was in college, but i hope they don’t try this with me.
LOL, love your e-mail response!

Congratulations to allimom for being visitor 8800 since I installed a site meter.
There’s no prize, I’m afraid.
Man..I HATE that! I especially hate when phone solicitors try to push their product on you AFTER you tell them you’re broke.. This one asshole (after I mentioned my no-$ status) THEN asked if I had a mother..And if I could get HER to pay for the shit!! Pobrecito. Must be a tough day! Good luck..hope it gets better…
the nerve! ask them what you bought while you’re at it.
could they have you mistaken with some other salamander? an evil twin from a parallel universe?
Sounds like your ISP sold your name.
Well, *somebody* sold my name, but I doubt it was my ISP, Shay. My ISP does not have this email address on file for me. And their monthly billings don’t come with this particular misspelling of my last name.
I know I’ve seen this misspelling before, though. When I track that down, I’ll know who sold my name. But that’s another nasty-gram for another day.
Well, Doubleday is just positively pathognomonic! 😉 (Seriously, that’s a good $10 word; after I look it up in the dictionary, I’ll definitely be using it.)
I know you don’t believe in astrology, but it might be worth it to wait until Monday before contacting Doubleday again.
As for the co-worker reaming you out, that sucks!
They have you so upset you’re starting to stutter! 🙂 *my attempt at humor*
I had an account with Doubleday, but not online. I swear I never told them your name! 🙂
Barnacle Boo this is for you!

Now you know why The Salamander was the only one of us who knew what the heck that word meant! But you’re right – it’s a great word! 🙂
Love your "Cool Hand Luke" response!

Man, that sucks, I’m sorry…
Love,Alaina
I feel sorry that the moron at work decided to have a go at you when you didn’t do anything wrong :(. I hope the same as you do: that he goes on with his plans and does make a fool out of himself!
And wow, that really sucks with the Doubleday or whatever bookclub. I just today contacted each and every "company" that e-mailed me their "lovely" offers for watching nude girls live etc. the usual crap. I’m just so sick of people e-mailing me when I sure didn’t ask them. I’ll harass them with my e-mails until they remove me, that’s for sure. Grrr.
I can’t wait to read the Doubleday person’s next reply…

*Smiles* I’m so lucky to have a vet as my friend!!
About the diet food. Thanks for reminding I have to weigh the Retriever weekly, I had forgotten about that. She weighs 48 lbs at the moment and according to the trainer she should lose about 11 lbs.
The woman at the pet shop we bought the food from also said we shouldn’t measure the Retriever’s food completely by what it says on the bag because it’s too much. She said it’d be good to try giving the same amount of food as we did before as the food is now different. I’ll weigh her next week again and if I don’t see improvement at all I’ll reduce her food.
I really hope I can get her weight down because I don’t want her to get heart problems because I’ve given her too much treats and too little exercise.
Thanks for advice, it’s very much appreciated :)!
Love
