Going to Write Here Again

OK, friends. I'm back again. Many things have been happening lately. And, I've got LOTS of photos and stories to update you on.

I wanted to setup my own blog, but it'll take too much of my time to do it. I may use it later, but for now, it will go by the wayside.

Special note and a warning: If you have a cell phone and all of a sudden you're getting phone calls that you don't recognize, DON'T ANSWER THEM. If they really wanted to talk to you, they will leave a message. Over the past week, I've been getting calls from ALL OVER the country. Actual numbers that I can use Switchboard to find where the number allegedly comes from. This evening's phone calls were the straw that broke the camel's back. I looked up this number and couldn't find anything. It was an "876" number. OK. No message, but 30 seconds later, the number called again. And, again, I'm not answering!

Within 5 minutes, a Cleveland-area number calls and calls a second time within 30 seconds. I "Google" that number. Come to find out spammers are now able to use phone numbers, masking their real numbers to try to get you to wire them money.

Tomorrow, I'm headed to the cell phone company to have my number changed. Yes, they are trying to call my cell phone.

JACKASSES!

Since I've been working, I barely use the voice part of my phone, especially because I try not to answer the phone AT work at all. So, my ringer is set to NONE. But, I continue this all the time. For those people who call me, I know when they're calling me to watch for them. But also, most of the people who call me also know other ways to tell me they're calling.

CAN'T FOOL ME!

So, after tomorrow, those people who need to know my number will get it.

Lots of love to all,
Cathy
