'Seniors Still Love Easter"

New Easter decoration for the Senior Citizen's  Center. Notice the bible. 3-26-2018 Perryton, TX

 After a great day yesterday at the Center with special entertainment, I made it two days in a row today. We were treated with grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, and all the trimmings. I skipped breakfast so I could indulge in all the good stuff, but still came home miserable. I took this picture of the Easter bouquet, and bunny figurines, along with the never failing bible, decorating the top of the piano. My day had started off with a scam call that almost made me decide not to go the the luncheon. I was angry, but remembered the little scientific quote I read on face book this week. It said a new study shows that anger can lower the immune system for five hours, but laughter can raise it for twenty-four hours. I chose the latter for I am a long-life seeker.

I am very upset with my book publishers since this scam call was related to them. But I will deal with it later. Like everything else in life at this time, the world has gotten so evil till I don't know how much longer we can survive it. Even at the Center today a representative from Social Security was informing everyone of possible scam calls trying to rob people of money. She explained it like this, and even gave us a card to remember the tricks that will tried to be pulled on us.

New Medicare Cards Means New Scams.

New Medicare cards will have new numbers to protect your identity (it will no longer be a Social Security number). Mailing begins April 2018 continuing through April 2019. so your card may arrive at a different time than your spouse, friend, or neighbor. Make sure your address is current with Social Security. The new card will not change any Medicare benefits. The new cards will not cost you anything! Starting January 2020 you can no longer use you old Medicare Card.

Facts we need to know

Medicare and Social Security will not call, or text or email to tell you they are issuing new cards, reprocessing cards, or assigning new numbers. You will only be notified by postal mail.

Keep an eye on your mail. The cards are being mailed to you. To ensure your card is not stolen, review your Medicare Summary Notices for any fraud, errors, and abuse.

Watch out for calls offering you a new Medicare card in exchange for money.

Never give your bank account information, Social Security and Medicare Number to anyone who contacts you. 

 Report Medicare Fraud, Errors, and Abuse to Texas Senior Medicare patrol hotline:

1-888-341-6187

Folks we are now in crisis times more than ever before. It can only get worse. Please help our President, Donald Trump, clean out, (and keep it cleaned out), the swamp. He can do it only by a miracle. Join with me, and millions of others who are trusting God to give our President the strength, and wisdom to fight this evil giant to the finish. 

God Bless
