Got a letter from my credit card company declining my application to use my
"credit protection insurance".  The reason cited was I didn't notify them of
the "event" (lost job) in a timely manner.  Uh, wrong.  I have a copy of
where they wrote and acknowledged it.  So I called and pointed out I have a
copy of this and also where I sent them the check stub from my last
unemployment payment indicating I have $0 benefits remaining as of the end
of November, 2004, etc.  I threatened to hire an attorney because I have
been trying to pay them as much as I can (and no, not using the card).  I
was put on hold.  Oh, now my application will be reviewed and someone will
contact me within 48 hours to discuss it.  Gee, you think the mention of
hiring an attorney has something to do with this?  I still will try to find
an attorney if I get stonewalled further.  Been paying for this "insurance"
for a long time and no one once said, "Oh, you're paying for this; let me
send you the paperwork."  Grrrrrr.

OB Cats:  When I tried to give her a bit of a meatball last week, Persia
wanted nothing to do with it.  But she'll go nuts if I cook brussels
sprouts.  No, she doesn't eat them, but she begs like crazy for a taste of
one.  Goofy kitty girl <G>
