And that is why I won't have my wife working there. In my opinion the pay isn't worth her time.

It's just not worth it......not worth it at all.....

I know. The economy there is awful. Tony made almost all his money off of tips when he worked down there. You can't live off the minimum wage they pay you :no:

This was posted in another forum and I though you guys might be interested....It can be found in "Removing Conditions...." <I don't know how to do the Link :wacko:> Basically, the replies went from "yes, they can and will call you" to "it's a joke/bill collector."

I posted that my father JUST received a call from someone who said they were with the Department of Homeland Security...it was a Toronto area code -- and it was a scam. The guy wanted my dad to send him a MoneyGram and then he would deposit money into my dad's bank account.

Guess the point is -- YES, you can get a call from the "Government" and YES, you can get a call from a scammer. If your SO is home alone during the day it might be a good idea to tell them to check the Caller ID before they pick up the phone. Me personally -- I am telling Roy NOT to pick up the phone if he doesn't know the number that shows up. If it is DHS calling....they will call back....

*************************************************************

Earlier this week, completely out of the blue, my wife received a call to her home phone from someone claiming to be from the Dept of Homeland Security.

They asked if we were still married, where we still living in the same house, if either of us were employed... and that was basically it.

It was such an out-of-the-blue thing, plus the fact that if someone calls from the govt then it throws you off, that she can't remember if they gave an ID number or not... when we checked the call history on the phone there was no number there. Not private or blocked - NO NUMBER.

So my question is... is this a normal type of thing? Has this ever happened to anyone else? Do I have anything to be worried about?

Or is this a new and improved way for bill collectors to check on you before they make a move?

I do not wish to share any information about this dead end journey.........I have reached my final destination on this train, and it is time for me to get off.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"If marriage means you fell in love, does divorce mean you climbed out?"

"You never really know a man until you have divorced him."-Zsa Zsa Gabor

"When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife." Deuteronomy 24:1-2

"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." - Helen Keller

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?" - Mary Manin Morrissey

"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." - Mother Theresa

Missed you guys for the past weekend.

DENDEN: Im sick to my stomache. My prayers are with you. Pray to God for strength,HE has always carried me through. You will see a happier day. I promise.

Well guys, my sweetie got his interview letter from the Embassy on Friday. Of course he didnt tell me until Friday afternoon. So in the meantime I was with you guys dialing repeatedly to the Embassy, literally screaming at the chicks on the phone becuase of 3 lost calls, transfers to voice mail you name it, it happened. I even got to the point I told them I was going to notify my Senator. It was horrible. I really dont think they ever sent the Packet #3. How can that be if we got the Interview letter first???

Nonetheless, it was nice being able to call the Drs. office to make his medical appt. & get such nice friendly helpful voices on the other end. They even said "Youre most welcome". Gotta love the Jamaican language!!!

Sonshyne, it will happen I feel it, this week you will have a date. Yall lets pray for Denden, this is a horrible situation. It could happen to any of us. Its has crossed all of our minds once.

Being Jamaican in a new environment I wonder if people will also think it's cute when I do say things like "You're most welcome" . I say that quite a lot. :yes: So far they just stare at me and Jay when we dine out. They'll get over it in time. Good luck, Texas and the rest of you guys with interviews coming up.
