I'm surprised The Boat Dock (I think that's what it was called) in Davenport wasn't mentioned. The food was fantastic; the deck overlooking the Mississippi was the perfect dining spot. Uh, they can keep Ross' for breakfast; that's the place that served "Rossburger meat" LOL The servers looked and acted like they'd been there for 200 years. The Village Inn did a much nicer breakfast Trattoria Tiramisu didn't make the list either,unless the name has changed. Jill |

Hamburger has the highest ratio of fat and is the least expensive. Ground round has much less fat. Ground chuck is somewhere in the middle but still lower in fat than regular "hamburger". (That's how it's labelled at my grocery store). I could call it minced beef or beef mince if it would make you feel better  Jill |

(which to me *must* be made with chipped >beef!). As a side-note, I ran across this recipe for Sawmill gravy from Alton Brown: 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage 1/4 cup flour 2 cups milk Salt and pepper to taste Cook sausage in a cast iron skillet. When done, remove sausage from pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat. Whisk flour into the fat and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in milk a little at a time. Return to medium-high heat and stir occasionally while the gravy comes to a simmer and thickens. (Be sure to scrape up any brown bits that might be stuck to the bottom of the pan, that's where the flavor is.) Check seasoning, add crumbled sausage and serve over toast or biscuits. Guess he grew up close to me! BTW, I always throw in a good heap of cayenne along with the black. |

Michael, you are a victim of fraud. I am serious, you need to report this identity theft incident to your local police or district attorney. Report this problem immediately. The longer you delay reporting this identity theft, the worse the damage will be and the more difficult it will be for you to clear your name. |

Starting March 1, we here in St. Louis and other parts of the midwest can get all three credit reports free. Be sure to get them and go over them thoroughly before you do anything else. You can get a new SSN if necessary, although it's not all that simple. Brian |

I just finished up a case of identity theft...the perpertrator is
Washington Correctional Facility for Women after conviction. Here's what I did: Contacted the police where the id theft occured. You will have to make a formal written complaint. That gets you a police report with a number issued and an investigating officer's name and contact number. Provide them with all infomation regarding any fraudlent charges on credit cards, any new accounts opened, etc. I contacted all the financial institutions I deal with and forwarded them a copy of the police report and filled out all pertinent forms since a fraudulent bank account was opened in my name and the perp had bounced $10,000 in checks. I contacted all credit bureaus and immediately put an ID theft notification on my credit rating. They also were sent a copy of the report. I contacted all credit card companies....and discovered that there were unauthorized charges on some accounts. Upon receipt of the police report, they deleted all charges and notified the credit agencies. Since your SSN was fraudulently used, you need to contact the Soc. Sec. Administration...and send them a copy of the police report also. When you get a copy of your credit reports, it has the adresses you have lived at on the reports. Inform the police if any of those addresses are not yours. The perp may have slipped up (as in my case) and used his or her real address! Keep copies all correspondence. You often will need to send copies of materials you recieve from other agencies and companies to the credit bureau, police agencies, SSA, etc. Hope this helps. Sandi |

Not totally. Mine occured as a result of the theft of mail that
included bills from one of my credit cards. That gave the perp my name, address, account number, etc. We caught a break because she opened a fraudulent bank account ans was caught on camera. They showed the picture around and folks verified that it wasn't me and that I was in Central Americaover a year. Sandi |
|
|

|

Took me about a year to get mine mess straightened out...but the perp
is in prison on id theft, bank fraud, grand theft, etc. Sandi |

Depends on where you are ...and how much effort you the consumer will
put into it. The police won't do the leg work. Been there, done that with ID theft and ther perp is in prison as I type.I provided all sorts of infomation...including an address that the perp had used which I had never resided at. it showed up on my credit report...and they busted her...for ID theft, grand larceny, forgery, bank fraud, theft of negotiable instuments (she'd stolen checks form a local escrow company). My latest credit report shows that none of this ever occurred. Sandi |

OT'ish as regards Michael's sitch we are talking about, but another way ID's are stolen is when people are deceased... A guy I knew years ago is in prison in Wisconsin for stealing identities from decedents. He'd comb the obituaries looking for "marks"...he'd then contact the family (usually via the funeral home) claiming he was a Wisconsin state tax official, claiming he needed further info to clear up some "final tax matters". He would get this info and use it to get credit, checking accounts, car loans, etc. He'd fence the more expensive merchandise... He had quite a nice little scam going until one family got wise and contacted the police. His biggest boo - boo was impersonating a tax official, the judge did not like that at all. He also had prior convictions for ID theft, these he stole by rummaging through dumpsters... Thing was 20+ years ago when I was acquainted with this guy he seemed perfectly normal and nice He had an MBA from DePaul University here in Chicago, had a good job with a brokerage firm in the Loop, had a nice family, etc. Turns out that despite all his advantages he just had a criminal mind I guess... So ya never know...and just because you are deceased is no guarantee you are safe from these scumbags... There are more grifters out there than ya'd think, it's not just something you see in movies. They usually are normal and even nice people, can be very charming in fact...natcherly that's part of their MO. -- Best Greg |

She stole mail addressed to me and used a fraudulent SSN and fake IDs
with her picture but my name and address to set up bank accounts and credit card accounts. She stole checks from an escrow company and forged signatures to make the deposits to the fraudulent bank account. The sheriff said they even caught her going through mail in the DA=B4s office wastebaskeet while they were charing her. She was looking for addresses. You can contact the credit bureaus and request that pre approved credit card applications NOT be sent to you. That=B4s one of the things she stole. Sandi |
