ON SALE!!! Love those two words.

I love this time of the year.   Everything is on sale.  SALE is my very

favorite word.  50% to 70% off is even better.  My car is overflowing with

bargains (shoes, bags. eyewear and more).  By the time I empty the

shopping bags, I look at all the junk I grabbed and pulled at for several

hours. Guess what?  90% is going back to the store for someone else to

grab.  It was great fun while it lasted.

Think happy thoughts today

Thieves getting away with skimmers

Thieves seem to find new ways to get our cash.  They do not

use guns, knives, or for that matter even hold up banks.

There is a gadget called skimmers. This electronic gizmo

steals credit and debit card information.  In one month this

crook stole 59 IDs and over $10,000.  Nationwide

skimming has increased over 10% in the last year. This

skimming has cost all of us $1-2.5 billion.  We

have to be very carefully of how we use our cards.  It gets

scarier everyday.

Be aware of your surroundings today and everyday

Don't forget your Passport!

Security is very important to all of us.  Recently, I was going on a cruise,

but one of my friends forgot her passport.  When I called the cruise line,

she was told that she could under no circumstances board the liner,

because of the security.  Thus, we could not go on our trip. The liner

told me I could change my ticket for another day (with an extra charge of

100 dollars per ticket)….Not worth it!!!!!!!!!!!! The new law is we must have

proof of being an American citizen.

If you’re going out of the country, even to Bahamas, TAKE your passport.

Sex Offenders

A locally elected representative in my district was found guilty of molesting many young people for years.  He was found guilty and sentenced to jail for (I think) 2 years.  He is now out of jail.  Lo and behold there is talk of this SICK person running for re-election.  What is wrong with our system that will let a convicted felon be allowed to represent us in Congress?  This makes me sick!!!!!

Smile at a stranger today

I've been away....

I just return from the trip from H**l.  I had to go to Boston

for a funeral.  I have not seen snow for many years. I hated it

as a kid, now as an adult I hate it even more!!!!!!  The snow

was, at some points, over my head.  As the cars skidded by

us, my knuckles got whiter and whiter.  As much as I wanted

to be there for my friends, I could not wait to get home to a

chilly 68 degrees.  Now I know why I moved.

Have a happy day
