Johnson v. Ashley Furniture Industries Claims Administrator

I haven't bought any furniture lately.   But I got this today:

I don't think there is a safe way to unsubscribe from this.  Going to leave it alone.

I got sent an invite for a family Christmas to open presents on a repeating basis.   I emailed back that I didn't know who they were.   Deleted the event from my calendar.

Change.org

I have signed petitions in the past with Change.org.  Imagine my surprise when I found one in my email for one I've never heard of before.   Also, there was a new welcome email.   In this particular case, the name with my email address appears to be a real one, but it doesn't relate to my name at all.  I'd publish the name here, but I found an associated Facebook account.   She is from California.

I was able to reset the password and then close the account.  Imagine my delight when the option to close said that the email address would never be able to be used to sign up again.   Goal!

My EF

I was sent an email from an Anna G. about a language immersion program.  The message was mostly in French and led to a YouTube video.   Once upon a time, I took French in my 6th grade summer.   We learned some language basics and about Nutella.
