Michael: We are not the only ones with failing memory, forgeting to put gas in tractor, leaving switch on, etc.

This week I had some dealings with the federal government. Sending an application via the internet I had it kicked back as the information I gave did not match what they had re my SIN number. That part got solved quite quickly by providing a copy of my signature.

I then went to the social insurance numbers administration people to see what was wrong. My mothers maiden name was Dickey, govt. has it on record as Dickie. Of course the computer kicked that out quickly. How this happened and how to get it changed is another matter. I was amoung the first Canadians to receive a SIN number. In those days they advised me that employers just sent in the info and they issued you a number and card. They advised that my employer's secterary must have made the misspelling. I suggested that was highly unlikely as my mother was my employer's secertary at the time. Dad was my employer. One would have to know how adamit my grandfather was on the spelling of his name to truly appreciate this. His daughter would have been disenfranchized for misspelling her own maiden name.

Truth is some overpaid public servant made the mistake, some where along the past 40 years. They tell me to correct this, I must take a day, go with my birth certificate to some place in London where parking is 1/2 mile away, and present myself for correction.

Just when we though everyone paid for their own mistakes.
