It still is apparently! Except now they can spoof their voice so it sounds completely real: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/12/19/call-scammer s-using-ai/77075605007/

It is sad. Many years ago now some friends of my parents got scammed out of a lot of money with a supposed grandchild calling from a foreign country and in jail and needing money to return home. It was a big scam back in the day!

I know! There is actually a warning on the Breeze Airways site about this. You can only initiate a discussion via chat on their website or app. They will call you if necessary. But people post the numbers as Breeze Airways telephone numbers so they show up on a google search.

Yes the weight limit thing really got us because he does fit into a bag that goes under the seat. He was 6 pounds over and they had no carryons and 1 small checked bag (which I pointed out). The lady was trying to explain that it was to keep the plane from being overweight. Yeah right. I did find that United airlines has no weight limit just the size of the bag. I think that's what they had been doing previously but then decided to weigh them. Very unfair that the dog was able to fly down with them but not back. Really sweet pup though. We enjoyed him today on our walks. Tomorrow we need to decide on his route home. Our neighbors needed today to recoup after the stress. Such nice people.

How disgusting there are conmen (or women) out there that look for ways to scam scared and confused older people out of their money. Makes me so angry for them and so glad you were able to help in such a big way!

Greetings all

Sunny and windy. I went to the gym and did walking to more old music. After that i went to the studio and made some new stuff. Things are full tilt there.

Liz so good of you to help out the elderly neighbors. On line stuff can be a challenge for all of us who did not grow up with it. And good of you to take the dog. Looks like a cutie. Pox on that airlines for being jerks about the dog. Dumb. My brother does dog rescue stuff and somehow finds ways to fly dogs but not sure what is available

Last night we watched Conclave. Great movie with a surprising message. Loved it. Then we ate the rest of the bbq chicken. DH brought home deli egg salad for tonight.

Yesterday was kind of a bust. Studio buddy came over to yack about tech stuff and time dissipated. i did not get dressed until 4 m. Did better today.

Not much else. Diane S

Thank heavens for good souls like you Liz! In the years my parents had their house in Florida, I saw this many times where people were eventually not able to live away from their primary home and family. It eventually happened to my parents too.

Yesterday was a low key, relaxing day. After coffee, outside on the sidewalk tables (!), we stopped by St. Vinny's and I bought a small office chair for my office/guest room. During Covid years, I brought my office chair from my classroom home for maximum comfort while teaching from home. Once I brought it back, I just had an old kitchen chair. Now I'll have something a bit more comfortable.

After that, came home, did some tidying, sun bathed for a bit on the porch, used the hot tub... I slept very well :)

Today watched Fareed Zakaria on CNN, started laundry, now settling in with the NYT paper before going to see The Mousetrap. I'll probably get a little lizarding time too. Then back at it!

My friend did something similar for her parents when they where snowbirds in Gulf Shores, except she and her siblings took turns driving them. So she would fly down and drive them home. I drove my parents to Florida once when they were willing to go during Christmas break. But like so many things, they were so stubborn and couldn't change their schedule by a week so we could help them.
