This is so profound and true especially in today’s world. To paraphrase Mark Twain to give a person a compliment can make

their whole day. That’s why this group is so beneficial. We support each other and truly create a community. My parents came from working class roots when they

we’re and when they made more money by the time I was a little girl taught me and

my brothers to respect people and do

charitable deeds and not forget where we came from.

Gerrerd have a great day. I'm continuing my job search and also going to check out a guy who claims he is a virtual bank from the institution that I have banked with for many years. With all the scams that R being pulled, I need to know if this guy is the real thing.

Ciao Shnookie

thanks for the great advice. I called the telephone banker at my bank and he seems to check out. When my beloved father was dying in the hospital in 1997, and my mind was just on visiting him, somebody stole my checks and my bank allowed for an overdraft of $23,000!!! don't ask, they were grilling me and my mom. Cleared up my account but was a pain in my tushie and then in 2016, the year my beloved mom died

someone stole my rent check that was in the supposed safe box for rent payments.

Fortunately, I had cash in account to cover check but was a 3 month process !! to recover my funds. I'm OCD about checking my bank account. Every morning like clockwork I do it and also am friendly with bankers and tellers in my branch

stay well mon ami

hugs shnook
