Telemarketer Phone Call of the Year

Chirpy Telemarketer: Hello! May I speak to Lynn, please?

Me: This is.

CT: Hi! This is Jane from [some telemarketing company]! I'm calling because one of your friends told us you like wine, and we wanted to talk to you about that!

Me: [temporarily speechless and trying not to laugh outright]

CT: Which do you prefer, red or white?

Me: Well, honey, I don't know who told you I like wine. I'm a recovering alcoholic. I'll be sober 19 years on the 15th.

CT: OH! oh! well gee! well! congratulations! OK bye!

I'm wondering who the "friend" was. Must be someone who knew me 20 years ago, in which case the answer to "red or white" would have been, "Whatever you've got."

Changing your password

Hi Jaimbug. Look under the menu with your name on it to the right. You'll see "your account"; click on that. You'll see a bunch of "tabs" at the top of the page; click on the one that says "edit." You'll see a way to change your password there. If you've lost your password you can reset it by going to the main login page and request a new random password.

The "friend" was probably a food publication of some sort that you'd ordered, which sold their mailing list. Food and wine get linked, business-wise.
