I don't know exactly how this applies but it does somehow....
An x employees (Theresa) line/phone rings - I answer the phone/her line at work saying the typical 'where I work and my name'. The guy says his name and said something about me being an adjusters claim woman and needing my last name. I didn't know what he was talking about and I wasn't willing to give up my last name so quickly. He says 'well just transfer me back to Theresa at Liability Claims and he gives me her extention #. I put him on hold and we figure out there is no such extention. I get back on the phone and he asks if this is Integrity Insurance?? I say no. He rattles off the phone number he called and then says 'oh, I dialed 1-888 and not 1-800". So he says 'isn't that a weird coincidence that he was calling a Jxxx and got a Jxxx'. I hung up with him. I was pretty skeptical so I called the 1800# and got Theresa!! She knew the guy and said he had a closed claim and he was probably trying to reach her assistant ...Jxxx!!!! I kid you not!!! so I hang up with her and I dial the 1-888# to see where it goes to. RING!!!! Theresas phone rings! OMG!!!!!!!
there are only 12000 Jxxx's in the United States!! and he got one of them while calling another! and getting the number from a Theresa and the phone he called was a Theresa!!
I can't say WHAT I was searching for on flickr because it would give a suprise away but I found this guys pics that had what I looking for. As I scrolled down his list I find he has friggen Alice Park pics in his pics - NO WHERE NEAR what I was searching for!!!! wth!?
huge coincidence if you knew what I was searching for.
The photo of the blue house - 40 Alice Court - that was my grandparent's house!
I was born next door (well born at St. Luke's Hospital but came home to) - 37 Alice Court - one house closer to the bluff than #40.
I don't remember much about the house at #37, as we moved away when I was 3 years old, but I spent many happy hours at #40, playing Chinese Checkers and school with my Grandpa and eating all the yummy things my Grandma cooked and baked.
so, what I was searching for at the time was a picture on Flickr of inside the ORDWAY theater. I search Ordway and find this guy has a photo inside the Ordway, then I see my house and Alice Park...he had pics of my park too! weird.
I couldn't say that I was searching for Ordway because at the time it was a suprise gift for another CoolerCrew and didn't want them to see it.
I posted a picture on facebook yesterday of Deegan, and one of my cousins commented on it...
another girl that i've known since like 4th or 5th grade posted a comment, and noticed my cousins last name, and asked if she was related to someone else..
turns out, this friend of mine - her grandma was my grandpa's (my moms dad) sister in law!
I was talking to a guy at work today and mentioned I was taking some time off for the hunt. He replied that a freind of a freind of his is really into the hunt and goes out every year. Said his namer was Dan. Said he was a big guy. I asked Dan Firestone? No...Dan Bubien? No....Oh! I said. Dan Flemming? Bingo!
Told him yes, I knew Dan well for a few years now....

Be that as it may, his nick name was Winnebago Bill.
Not Scottie Bill. Not RV Bill. Winnebago Bill.
Think of "Winnebago" like how "Kleenex" is used for facial tissue.
