Started at the ER with pneumonia. Hoping it goes up from here.

Thanks! Two shots in the ass. One feels like they inserted a shooter marble and the other maybe a ping pong ball. Got home around 4:00 AM and crashed hard. Don't even think I stirred in bed until about 9:30. Meds were doing their thing.

Thanks. I figure I either get better or die.

Don't abbreviate 2020.

I've been seeing that everywhere, but wonder how big of a deal it actually is. Was there a rash of fraud with scammers turning /19 into /1998's and /1999's? Not being snarky, legitimately curious if it was done.

Nobody would have abbreviated 1999 as 19.

The notion of backdating a document 20 years is a bit absurd. Going + / - 1 year for 2021 or 2019 makes much more sense.

That being said, feels like the opportunity is still pretty limited

I'm not saying it wouldn't be caught pretty easily. But scammers are usually pretty stupid. That's why I figured if there was a way to make money on it they would have at least tried last year. But like you're saying about the opportunity being pretty limited, I'm having trouble thinking of a way of really screwing someone over with this.

It's have to be aomething like "Bob agrees to pay Jeb $5,000 per month until 4/30/20,"

Which you could ostensibly turn into "4/30/2029” but that ignores the obvious "keep a copy of your agreements"
