My 2nd grade teacher took my first digital watch from me and never returned it. I think I even sent her an email about it.

You had e-mail in the second grade?

How damn young are you!?!?

(I first heard of e-mail when I was in college and did not have my first e-mail address until I was in law school.)

2nd grade for me would be 1997. My mom took programming classes at Cleveland State University and I guess we could use the dial-up connection from home. Not really sure how it worked, but I do remember Yahoo being my dad's favorite website. I'm pretty sure I sent the email several years later, but I really have no idea anymore.

AMEX cash rebate card has it for 3mos after purchase. :)

Ever try making a claim? Its impossible to ever get any kind of payout. They have an excuse for almost every single situation.

My car, although the thieves parked it half a mile away without actually taking the hundreds of dollars worth of CDs from the backseat. Then the police found it. So, in a way, nothing has been stolen from me. Except for the $376 I had to pay to get my own damn car back.
