Happy Thanksgiving to all of your who celebrate it. I just made this persimmon cake. It's very moist and flavorful. I gave some to my neighbor who loves persimmons. My one tree gave us a huge harvest this year. It had hundreds of Hachiyas. I still have more fruit at the top of the tree to pick. It's difficult to reach, so I will buy a fruit picker with a basket on the end. It's so rewarding to plant a baby tree and have it continue to produce and feed you decades later...
As a senior, I have been shocked at how much fraud is occurring in our society, much of it by phone. You have to be extra diligent these days. It's wise not to answer calls from numbers you don't recognize. If they hang up and keep calling you, that's a red flag.
The other day a woman called here, claiming to work for a well-known health insurance company. She told me they were updating their records, and asked for my birthdate. "I don't give out that information over the phone," I answered, matter of factly. She quickly thanked me and said raced off the phone, nervously.
Whether it's protecting your cash, investments, land, home or possessions, our intuition is an excellent predicter. I utilize my cameras, listen to the dogs, (and check why they are barking,) and I don't carry a phone that has my information stored on it. A simple senior flip phone is fine with me. The alarm is on 24 hours a day. I have some excellent neighbors who keep a close eye on my place and I do the same for them. We call each other if we see anything suspicious and take video.
Have you experienced any fraud? Did you catch it in time?
