Gone Phishing!

It all started on Monday, May 13th, when the PayPal app popped up and told me someone was asking for money (A large amount, more than $600). It was supposedly from a woman whose name I didn’t recognize. The app said that if I didn’t recognize the request to call PayPal at 1 (803) 430-9033. I wanted to be sure it was authentic, so I looked up my account on the PayPal website. I saw the same request and another one with a similar amount. The payment request mentioned in the message appeared to have been paid. The same message as popped up in the app was also on the website with the same number (1(803)430-9033), so I called, thinking it was legitimate. A man with an accent (possibly Asian?) answered. While I was talking with him, I could hear other people talking in the background. I got the impression it was a call center, possibly working for PayPal offshore, or so I thought. He went through the normal things, establishing who I was and what the charge was, verifying my account. I was t...

On Age

I would like to add some perspective to concerns about Biden's age: I was born 26 days after the President, so we're the same age. Photo: tennesseestar.com Young people think 80 is old and 81 is really old. I know I did when I was young (under 60). It can be. We all age differently, and some of it is beyond our control. I listened to the debate and didn't have any concern about Joe. I was horrified about the lies spewing forth from Trump, of course, and that the moderators did nothing to contradict them. His time to answer was limited, and if he spent his time pointing out the lies, it would leave him no time to answer the questions, so he chose to answer the questions and let the lies speak for themselves. Everyone knows Trump lies. President Biden's voice was affected by his cold, but I remember President Clinton losing his voice almost entirely during his campaigns when he had to talk a lot––and that was without a cold. I don't remember any concern then about hi...

Be Careful About Lumping Medicare Advantage Plans Together

#MedicareAdvantagePlans are under attack, but they aren't all the same. Last year, we received notice that our local hospital, St. Charles Hospital in Bend, OR, was reviewing these plans because of difficulty obtaining payment. A few months later, they announced their list of plans they would accept. We were relieved to see that our current plan was on the list. At that time, we hadn't needed anything more than routine care for some time, but you never know. Then, on November 7th, we did. A very large exuberant puppy (not mine) jumped on me at the dog park. He hit me in the chest and knocked me over onto the asphalt walkway. The back of my head struck the pavement. Blood came out of my nose and ears. An ambulance came and took me to the emergency room at the hospital. I had opened my phone in the ambulance and found the page with all the medical info for the paramedics. At the hospital, doctors and nurses asked a lot of questions...but no one asked what kind of insurance I h...
