The other day a friend of mine finally got social security disability for her daughter. It was a tough thing to do and she had too many meetings and too many pieces of paper. I really don’t know how she did it, but she did need help with it. I guess that is really the only way to survive a government paper chase. All I know is that I am happy that she finally got it.

I was thinking the other day about all the phone number out there that are memorable. I can’t remember all of the phone numbers I have had in my life. At least not the way I can remember 8675309. You know that number, don’t you? That’s from that song, 8-6-7-5-3-0-9. It was memorable. It’s kind of like 4396710. That’s another one that is stuck in my head for some reason, maybe because it’s the filter number that I need? Now I just need to get the Thai food restaurant number stuck in my head.

One of the problems with making a huge move to a brand new place is deciding what to keep, what to sell and what to buy when you get to a new place. One of the things that you really need to look at is cookware. If you don’t have decent cookware then you can’t cook in your new home. It can be expensive to replace, but some people do like getting a new set when they move into a new house. Me? My mind is going numb with all of this.

It used to be that swatting was something you did to mosquitos, not what you would do to families, but that is just what is happening now. I was surprised to read that some young people have taken to using VOIP to harass and threaten families in a dark and twisted way.

What do they do? They hide their true location using a VOIP service and then make a 911 Call. In the 911 call, they will get police to show up at the house in full sawt apparel! Talk about scary and it’s happening too much!

Well, it looks like there are some great ideas on the horizon for this Christmas. I am thinking that this Christmas will be better than ever and there is a chance like none other to make a big difference. It’s not about how much money we have or how many gifts we can buy the people we love, but this time is about something more.

How to make this Christmas special even without a lot of money? Why not try doing some volunteer work or maybe just try finding some way to help a neighbor. You don’t have to spend money to make a great Christmas, you can instead focus on doing things for other people. That would make the perfect gift.
