Online Scams Revisited

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

I recently posted on this topic, and this piece was brought to my attention as providing some additional insight into what to avoid and how to avoid them.

In addition, the Federal agency overseeing the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid and Medicare — the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) — expressly bars any unsolicited phone calls or door-to-door solicitations to sell Medicare policies. In other words, if you get a call you didn’t request, the caller is breaking the rules. If you know someone is dishonest, why would you ever want to do business with them?

I’m sure you’ve heard the old saying, if someone shows you what they are, believe them.

Now Right Wingers, type into ONE tweet all the male, mass shooters.

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

  So my novel journal has finally become useful to me!   I finally found bits of ideas in this bitty note of paper that I had neglected to put into my outlines.

So, I did find out, late in the process of writing this novel, that keeping a novel journal can be helpful.  At last.       whobyfireiwilltmpcover

Also, having used far too many pieces of tiny bits of paper, I am still drowning in paper and in online notes, and even in bookmarks stuck in my research books for this novel project that I paused to write a nonfiction book, and restarted!  I  wish that I had done less planning for this one, as I did absolutely no planning for the series (which I’d only intended to be one short short, written after a dream I had during the research phase for this book, in fact!) Ann…
