Some people will just do anything to get a dollar. It just makes me so sick that people will actually do this stuff. These kind of people need to be stopped for sure. They really do it to the elderly tho. Okay, I won't go into the preaching thing. LOL. It was a bitterly cold weekend here. We are under a Winter Weather Advisory for late tonight and into the morning. They say we may get some freezing rain. Take care my friend and have a great evening.

I had an email last week purporting to come from the Inland Revenue of the USA saying I owed them money. I realised it was a scam, not only because I know for sure I don't owe the US tax department any money, but when I looked at the email address it was a Yahoo one.
