ahhhhh those types of bills!   im going through the same thing here.  you gotta watch big business' like a hawk!  they really are out to get us....i found out i was paying for 2 services on my home phone that i specifically asked to not have...i didnt check my bill good and after 3 months i did and i was being charged $15/mo i asked for it to be credited and they said they had no record of me asking to not have the services....what am i gonna due sue them?  this is how they make money $50 here and there over time and hundreds of thousands of customers adds up.

I was traveling shortly after Michael Jackson's death... I counted 20+ magazines with his face on the coverm at one news stand. At most i could understand 5 or 6 but 20? Who really cares that much...

You are right, Google is an amazing thing. One minute i know nothing, the next, just a little bit. Funny how men can make fundemental major changes in the world and be essentally anonamous.
