Well, we are home

Dad is in the hospital, but it is skilled care, not so much illness. He is safe, he is cared for, and hubby and I left him in their capable hands. We decided to come on home. Once at home, we of course got the mail. I got a card back that I mailed to Patsie Hatley in April. Gold Crest did not forward it to her at Seal Beach. Post Office note said attempted to forward with no success. It makes me mad. The most current address we have for her is on my profile. There was another interesting piece of mail. It was one of those scams. I got a priority mail envelope, with a letter congratulating me on being chosen to do a mystery shop or evaluation of Wal Mart. I also got a one page form asking about courtesy and cleanliness. Here's the kicker: I got a check for $2850. This is how the scam works: You put the check in your bank. You draw on those funds to send Western Union or money orders from Wal Mart, being told to keep a small portion of the money as pay. The recipients cash the money orders/wires and take off. YOU are responsible to your bank when it is determined that the $2850 (or whatever) check is a fake. Do not even think about believing this, or doing this. It is a scam that can really cost you. In addition, it can make other checks you write for your personal needs bounce. The damage is almost never ending. I am taking it to our postmaster on Monday.
