ElicBxn @ElicBxn (64169) • United States 16 Oct 24

Do you know what I have discovered? That all of them are not looking for me! I have taken to demanding who they are looking for. I do mean demanding! Why? Well, I have had a lot of people say I don't sound 70. So,...

Yes, not yet 5 p.m. and I only got up at 9 a.m. but I've had 5 spam calls. One had previously been silenced/blocked, but the other 4 had not. One, the most recent one, was someone looking for the owner of some property that is...

Senior benefits calls

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (64169) • United States 29 Aug 22

I worked for the State of Texas for 25 years. Between that and my age, I was only 4 years away from 70, the "magic" retirement age. I say 4, but if I had kept working, it would've only been two years - that is age+worked years =...
