From the
Editor
The following section of the
editorial was written on 04/02/13 in an attempt to get together an edition that
we could publish when we returned home--so it’s actually a little behind.
You ask about the “Road
Trip”--yes it’s still in progress. Nana
is getting an opportunity to do a little “sleeping in” as it’s not necessary to
get an early start while we’re here in
Hard to believe that up to
this point we have seen over 20 of our cousins from both sides of the family
(not including their spouses in the count).
Also, we have seen friends from college that we haven’t seen for 20 to
40 years. Also saw the “Best Man” from
our wedding that I haven’t seen for over 20 years and a fellow graduate student
that I’ve not seen in at least 25 years.
It is just so nice to catch up with so many after so many years.
Some of the friends were
seen at Carolyn’s High School Reunion.
To say that Carolyn had a great time would be an understatement. She complained on Easter morning that she had
a sore throat. I told her that was no
surprise to me based on how much she had talked the previous 2 days. I also enjoy her Snyder reunions as I do know
many of the people that she went to school with so it isn’t a boring event for
me although I do tire out quickly standing on my feet--then tire sitting on my
bottom side.
On Easter Sunday we drove
over to Snyder to go to Church with Kenneth and his family and then travelled
on up to
All has gone well so far
with the exception of the battery in Carolyn’s key fob for the car that “pooped
out” and almost left her in the middle of
Lunch is in
The “Road Show” moves on to
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it’s off to
As of 04/09/13 the “Road
Trip” ended as we returned to
I certainly hope that this
“road trip” was not my “farewell tour”, but if it should be, what a ride it
was…

Jack Daniels Fishing Story
I went fishing this morning but after a short time I ran out of worms. Then I
saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth. Frogs are good bass bait. Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the
frog in his mouth I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog, and put
it in my bait bucket.
Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit. So, I grabbed
my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back, he went limp. I
released him into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the
frog.
A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. It was that snake with two more
frogs.
********
Frog
A guy is in his
70's and loves to fish. He was sitting
in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, “Pick me up.”
He looked around and couldn't see anyone.
He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again, “Pick me
up.”
He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog.
The man said, “Are you talking to me?”
The frog said, “Yes, I'm talking to you.
Pick me up, then kiss me; and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman
you have ever seen. I'll make sure that
all your friends are envious and jealous, because I will be your bride!”
The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up
carefully and placed it in his shirt pocket.
The frog said, “What, are you nuts?
Didn't you hear what I said? I
said Kiss me, and I will be your beautiful bride."
He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said, “Nah. At my age, I'd rather
have a talking frog.”
With age comes wisdom.
Food for
Thought
New way of STEALING...
ESPECIALLY LOOK AT SCENE THREE...
Be sure to read Scene 3. Quite
interesting.
This is a new one. People sure stay busy trying to cheat us, don't
they?
SCENE 1.
A friend went to the local gym and placed his belongings in the locker. After the
workout and a shower, he came out, saw the locker open, and thought to himself,
'Funny, I thought I locked the locker...
Hmm, 'He dressed and just flipped the wallet to make sure all was in order.
Everything looked okay - all cards were in place...
A few weeks later his credit card bill came - a whooping bill of $14,000!
He called the credit card company and started yelling at them, saying that he
did
not make the transactions.
Customer care personnel verified that there was no mistake in the system and
asked if his card had been stolen...
'No,' he said, but then took out his wallet, pulled out the credit card, and
yep -
you guessed it - a switch had been made.
An expired similar credit card from the same bank was in the
wallet. The thief broke into his locker
at the gym and switched cards.
Verdict: The credit card issuer said since he did not report the card missing
earlier, he would have to pay the amount owed to them.
How much did he have to pay for items he did not buy?
$9,000! Why were there no calls made to verify the amount swiped? Small amounts rarely trigger a 'warning bell'
with some credit card companies. It just
so happens that all the small amounts added up to big one!
============================
SCENE 2.
A man at a local restaurant paid for his meal with his credit card. The bill for the meal came, he signed it and
the waitress folded the receipt and passed the credit card along. Usually, he would just take it and place it
in his wallet or pocket. Funny enough, though, he actually took a look at the
card and, lo and behold, it was the expired card of another person.
He called the waitress and she looked perplexed.
She took it back, apologized, and hurried back to the counter under the
watchful eye of the man. All the
waitress did while walking to the counter was wave the wrong expired card to
the counter cashier, and the counter cashier immediately looked down and took
out the real card.
No exchange of words --- nothing! She took it and came back to the man
with an apology. (This scenario actually
happened to me at a local
Verdict: Make sure the credit cards in your wallet are yours.
Check the name on the card every time you sign for something and/or the card is
taken away for even a short period of time.
Many people just take back the credit card without even looking at it,
'assuming' that it has to be theirs.
FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, DEVELOP THE HABIT OF CHECKING YOUR CREDIT CARD EACH TIME IT
IS RETURNED TO YOU AFTER A TRANSACTION!
==========================
SCENE 3:
Yesterday I went into a pizza restaurant to pick up an order that I had called
in.
I paid by using my Visa Check Card which, of course, is linked directly to my
checking Account. The young man behind
the counter took my card, swiped it, and then laid it on the counter as he
waited for the approval, which is pretty standard procedure. While he waited, he picked up his cell phone
and started dialing. I noticed the phone
because it is the same model I have, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Then I heard a click that sounded like my phone sounds when I take a
picture. He then gave me back my card
but kept the phone in his hand as if he was still pressing buttons. Meanwhile, I'm thinking: I wonder what he is
taking a picture of, oblivious to what was really going on. It then dawned on me: the only thing there
was my credit card, so now I'm paying close
attention to what he is doing..
He set his phone on the counter, leaving it open. About five seconds later, I heard the chime
that tells you that the picture has been saved.
Now I'm standing there struggling with the fact that this boy just took a
picture of my credit card.
Yes, he played it off well, because had we not had the same kind of phone, I
probably would never have known what happened.
Needless to say, I immediately canceled that card as I was walking out
of the pizza parlor.
All I am saying is, be aware of your surroundings at all times.
Whenever you are using your credit card take caution and don't be careless.
Notice who is standing near you and what they are doing when you use your card.
Be aware of phones, because many have a camera phone these days.
LET'S GET THE WORD OUT! JUST BE AWARE.
Never let your card out of your sight.....check and check again!
Scary isn't it.....
