Got a call from 601-398-9560 and caller said I was getting a medical alert device that was already paid for by Medicare. I didn't think it was legit so I went online to share a warning. However, it looked like I didn't have to because at http://www.callercenter.com/601-398-9560.html , several people already shared the information about the phone call.

The Fire department said "to cover the pot, then MOVE it, THEN turn off the stove??? Why would you not turn off the stove BEFORE you attempt to move it??? I think your "fireman" got confused, it is extreamly dangerous to try to move a pot of burning hot grease ON A STOVE that is still on! One splill and you will go up in flames! PLEASE get correct info out to people before they try this.....

It's funny that Mrs. Ebersole has a job that she has no qualifications for. She is taking over the job that my mom did before she retired a month ago. From what I do know of her job, she had to file reports, send out letters and biling for the whole plant along with helping with the audits. All the reports and other things she did was complex and perhaps more than Mrs Ebersole can handle. Mrs. Ebersole was given the job as a political favor to her while making $34,000, more than what my mom was making after 18 years on the job. Before my mom retired, she was supposed to interview replacements to see if they can handle the job. It never happened. Ebersole's last position was made up for her.

I'm very glad to read this; he certainly deserves to be with a team. I can't stand the Gators, lol... but Tim is a good QB, great athlete, and an even better human being. He's clearly a winner at everything he does... congrats.
