Scam of the Week
Don’t Wish for This Smish
In a recent text message phishing (smishing) scam, cybercriminals send you a text that appears to be from the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). The text says that you have a package at the post office that cannot be delivered due to an incomplete address. The message contains a PDF file and directs you to open it to complete your address.
You are then directed to click a button in the PDF file, which takes you to what appears to be a USPS web page. The page instructs you to enter your address, personal data, and credit card number so the USPS can attempt to redeliver your package. The catch is there never was a package. The USPS page is actually fake and controlled by cybercriminals. If you enter any information here, cybercriminals will be able to steal it immediately!
Follow these tips to avoid falling victim to a smishing scam:
This smishing scam claims to be from the USPS, but be wary of any unsolicited text messages from unknown numbers. If you aren’t sure if a message is legitimate, delete or report it.
Don't reply to unexpected text messages, even to say "STOP" or "unsubscribe." If you have any questions regarding delivery, contact your local post office directly.
Never click on any attachments or links from suspicious text messages or emails.

good morning
Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Will. We'll have a little family party for him here tomorrow night on his actual birthday. I'm sure he enjoyed all the friends and games!
Thanks, Irene. I hope you're feeling better.
Ed, I love Thai food, don't get it very often because Pete's not a fan. I hope you don't have Celiac disease. It's really awful. One little mistake and yikes, total blowout for hours, scary. We've found most restaurants are very accommodating (Pete's steak the other night was without the sauce, thanks to the chef). You should check with your Dr. Thanks for the scam alert.
Jo, that's a lot of snow. Good that you've anticipated the ice. Your Valentine's day lunch sounds nice, and I'm glad you get to rest!
It's currently 30F, -1C. Windy with a mix of clouds and sun. Temps nearly steady in the mid 30s, low single digits C. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
Our forecast has completely changed, negligible snow for Wednesday and Thursday. I wonder if the kleptocrats are messing with the NWS.
Anyway, wishing all a bright shiny new week. Stay warm and healthy. ☕🌬️⛅🌟🍷🕊️0 -
good morning
Got some laundry and things around the house done yesterday.
It's 18F, -8C, actually pretty sunny at the moment. Sun and clouds mixed. High near 30F, -1F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph. BRRR.
Off to craft day today, and celebrating Will's birthday after that. Busy day.
Wishing all a good one. Stay warm. ☕⛅❄️❄️❄️🍷🥳🕊️0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
We have -2 (C) sunny degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 13 and 2% chance of precipitation.
Sounds like a pretty pleasant day, once it warms up!
I got the laundry folded yesterday, and put away. Yay, me!
My dinner yesterday was noodles with meatballs and spicy tomato sauce, and a generous sprinkle of 5-cheese Italian grated cheese. Garlic toast on the side. All of it was gluten free.
I don't think I necessarily have full blown Celiac, but I'll be discussing that with my doctor next time I see him. I don't get total agony from a little gluten, but it's pretty uncomfortable if I have some, even just from a gravy or the like. But I was able to eat regular biscuits and gravy, just with ... consequences, and they were getting worse, so it was time to do something.
I bought a variety of gluten free foods to play with and so far have been enjoying most of them, though some are a bit disappointing in texture or taste, or in a few cases both.
At least I don't have to totally give up everything I love!
Well, work beckons.

Good afternoon;
It is currently 21F and very windy. It was a good day to stay indoors.
Ed-good luck with your gluten free experimentation.
Vix-How old is Will?
Hi Irene.
I did laundry today after work and made brownies.
Have a good evening. 0 -
Will is 6 today. He had a little fever last night, and unfortunately today he has the flu. Jennie is waiting for the pharmacy to call that his medicine is ready.0

good morning
Ed, good luck with the gluten free experiment. It can be hard finding bread that tastes good. You may want to try O'Doughs bagel thins , usually in the frozen section. They're small, but tasty, only 100 calories/bagel. It's amazing how many foods gluten sneaks into. And sometimes companies change their ingredients, so there's a lot of label checking involved.
Jo, brownies are such a good treat. Yum.
Hi Irene.
Craft day was good. I have a few more pieces to cut out and grind for my glass project. The center didn't fire our kiln, so I have to wait until next week to see my glazed clay. I built a cup and a bowl that have to dry.
Will was down with the flu, so I think we'll have a family party for him on Friday.
It's currently 16F, -9C. A few snow showers scattered about the area this morning, otherwise a good deal of clouds. Very cold. High 27F, -3C. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 30%.
Wishing all a happy 🐪 day. ☕☁️❄️🍷🕊️0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 6 (C) cloudy degrees (feels like 4) with an expected cloudy high of 7 and 95% chance of precipitation.
Breakfast was bacon and a toasted Schär gluten free bagel. The bagel tasted OK, but didn't really have the mouth feel of a bagel. Still, it was acceptable.
Work beckons.

Ed, Schlar makes a shelf stable pizza crust if you like them crispy,
I'll look for that. I DO like them crispy. I was just browsing the Schär website on my lunch break, and they make a lot of stuff. I found the ciabatta rolls a bit disappointing on first taste, but I think I can work with them. The same for the hot dog buns, but if warmed up they are OK.
I had a hot dog for lunch today, with one of the buns. I'll try warming the ciabatta rolls in the same manner and suspect they will be better warmed that way too, in the air fryer oven at 280 for 5 minutes.
So far, for regular sandwich bread, I'm quite happy with the Kroger brand gluten free white bread. It's not really white, being an off-white somewhat pale brownish color, and a lot of holes in the bread, but it tastes like bread and makes very acceptable sandwiches and toast. I have made grilled cheese sandwiches too but haven't tried French toast yet. Maybe soon...

hi everyone
we are having some really cold weather
went for blood work today for my thyroid I go back to the Drs on Monday
take care0 -
good morning
Irene, cold here too. Good luck with your test results, thyroid, and Drs visit on Monday.
Ed, most of the gluten free bread tastes better toasted. Pete usually gets Udi's whole grain. I think he gets Canyon brand sometimes too. Those are also in the freezer section. I like crispy pizza crusts too.
Jo, how's it going?
I did some things around the house yesterday, and went to TJ Maxx to browse around. Picked up some jam, wasabi edamame, and some future gifts. Didn't snow at all.
It's currently 15F, -9C. Cloudy and becoming windy with snow showers this morning (none yet). High 27F,-3F. Winds NW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of snow 50%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
I have a massage scheduled for this morning and am looking forward to it. Missed the last one because of icy roads.
Wishing all a smooth Thursday. ☕🌥️🌬️❄️❄️❄️🍷🕊️0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have -3 (C) cloudy, windy degrees (feels like -11) with an expected sunny high of 2 and 1% chance of precipitation.
Nothing but work on the critical agenda for today.
Dinner last night was from the freezer. Pizza. Kroger Simple Truth Gluten free supreme pizza for me, and Red Baron 4 cheese original crust pizza for Jason. I think that particular brand of gluten free is a keeper.
For breakfast I had a toasted, buttered Schär bagel and some microwave warmed Spam.
Work beckons.
