    Lilly Oak Grove?

    About the security questions: I can't answer any "favorites." I would never remember what it was that I was thinking was my favorite on that given day.

    Which is why it's much better to use something that you and only you might know. (Virtually impossible for a female) and use that regardless of what the question ask for.

    Q. What is your favorite desert?

    Not because you owned one, because of what happened in one

    Why not just use your social security number and your bank account number to make it easy for them?

    Do you remember those commercials for Lifelock where the guy would say his SS number on the air to prove how good the service was? I wonder if that was his real number.

    yes and he got hacked by multiple people immediately. thats why he no longer does it. nor guarantees your safety 100%. pretty hilarious.
