Junk Mail can cost you !

So what do you do with your junk mail? Do you live in an apartment or complex with dumpsters? And you think your garbage is safely thrown away...... so you throw away your junk mail. .

all it's nothing that can threaten your identity...

Since the accident, you can only imagine how busy my mail box is with bills and other documents from insurance companies, loan companies, Dr's.... 

Imagine my surprise Christmas eve, yes this was my Christmas eve.

When I got a certified letter from the US Army.... a bill no less .... to which I OWE THE US GOVERNMENT!  And personal checks are not accepted.

For what you ask?

1 ton of garbage that took 10 hours of labor to pick up..... $860.00

How?  

Mail in the garbage happen to have my name on it, so I'm getting the bill for all of it, which is probably a homeless camp. That happen to be on the training base for our wonderful military.

When and where?

On or around October 28th..... I wasn't even in that area on October 28th.

However, my daughter moved to an apartment, near that area in the middle of November.... While helping her move, a couple bags of my garbage were in the back of my truck. We used her dumpster,to dispose of them, so I could help move with my truck.......

Apparently someone rummaged through the garbage and my bag was among what was taken. 

I drove a 1/2 ton truck, I don't know How I would have gotten a ton in it.... and seriously, like I'm going to dump my garbage next to a military base, knowing that I have junk mail with my name on it.....? 

I've responded and I don't know the conclusion as yet.... But really $860 on top of the other bills I've been getting.....

I'm 1/2 Canadian, it's such an insult to be accused of littering in the first place. 

Shred or burn your mail!! Don't throw it away with your name and address exposed, you never know where it's going to end up!

A Beautiful Gift

It's beautiful! The dark green is Buddy's color and the purple, well, that's the color!
Shortly after the accident, Tim's coworker gave him the package with a card for me.

It's a prayer shawl.

It's been in the hands of some God loving people, who believe as I, in the power of our Lord, and know, The Savior was with me that night. It's been prayed over and sent to help protect and heal me.

A beautiful gift.

I put it in the car and wrapped it around my seat. It's helped me, recover and drive again. It's like having the Lord's arms around me. Really beautiful.

Both Sophia and I have needed something to help us feel safe driving again, to be able to relax and enjoy the ride.

She has a new little bed with a blanket. 

I've moved it to the back seat because we've had others riding with us quite a bit, but truth be told, I like it better when she's up front with me and so does she.

Security, crazy how it affects us when we lose it.

It's nice to have such a comforting gift.

On another note****

Stormy weather here the last week or so, beautiful during the day and wind storms with hard rain at night. Rivers are flooding. I hope your doing okay in the weather where you are. I pray for those out there in the elements. I wish we could solve the homeless crisis in our country. Something is very wrong with the way things are. Very wrong.
