Maryland's health care exchange site asking weird, personal questions: ‘Where were you when you had your first kiss?’

Visitors to the Maryland health care exchange site may find themselves being asking some unusual questions, like where they were on Setpember 11, 2001, and what was the name of their first stuffed animal.

Local affiliate WBAL was first to report that some residents were complaining of the unusual questions, which appear as part of the sign-up process for coverage under the Affordable Care Act.

Yahoo News was able to confirm those reports during a walk-through of the site’s enrollment process.

After providing personal information, including one’s Social Security number, individuals are asked three personal security questions.

On first glance, the questions are typical for sites that have security protocols in place to help protect people from identity theft, or to help them regain access to a site if they’ve lost their password or username.

But when someone scrolls down among the suggested security questions, a number of odd choices pop up.

“What was the name of your first stuffed animal?”

“Where were you when you had your first kiss?”

“What is the first name of the boy or girl that you first kissed?”

“What is the name of the place your wedding reception was held?”

Maryland is a State filled with Refugees from Washington DC who were pushed out by urban white pioneers and Hispanics who invaded us like a plague.

I can’t remember where I was when “I had my first kiss?’ But I do remember the first time I had sex. It was dark and hot. I was scared and alone.

I was filling out a government questionnaire and one of the security questions was “In what city did you live in 1977.” Of the five choices, a city I only lived in for 18 months was one of the answers. Another question as “what model car did you drive in 1980.” One of the answers was Mercedes 220D. How the heck did it associate those two bizarre things just having my social security number? It’s creepy.

‘Where were you when you had your first kiss?’

No problem answering this! For me it was in the coatroom at Second Ward school in Crafton PA. I was in kindergarten. The girls, the hottest girls, even those in 1st grade (we shared the same cloak room) INSISTED on helping me. They used to tie my parka hood, zipper or button me, then I'd get a great big kiss.

By Jr high school those day were gone...sigh.

And so on.

“Where were you when you had your first kiss?”

In the basement of the governor's mansion with his wife Catherine.

“What was the name of your first stuffed animal?”

Catherine.

My first stuffed animal was a pink bear named Owen. He was named after Owen Lattimore.

I still can’t look at either hand. It was 2 against 1. I tried to fight them off. I’ve been too embarrassed to file charges for almost 50 years. Who would believe me now as I I approach 60 years of age in January.
