I thought my girlfriend had abandoned me. My most frequent phone call by far was from a nice sounding recorded lady informing me that the extended warranty I never bought on a car that I never owned was in danger of expiring and this was my last chance to renew it. Ever. She would sometimes call me three times per day with that message but I haven't heard from her in months. I was afraid that my last chance had come and gone, or that she is no longer that into me. But it's just the FCC coming between us.


Hate to tell you but I'm fairly sure she's dating the previous owner of our condo now; we keep getting their love letters in the mail.


That's OK, life goes on. Love finds a way. I met another nice lady on X. She cares deeply about the diversification of my crypto portfolio. I don't know why I keep attracting women who want to take care of me, I just do. It may be my gravitas. But the three letter agencies are watching so this time I'll have to move fast.


Those "SECOND NOTICE" scam letters that aren't from my bank but have my bank's name on them make me mad. I report them to the USPS as mail fraud, an act which I find therapeutic.


But can they ever silence the memory of her persistent devotion?
