QUESTION AND COMMENT

What is an RFID Symbol/tag? Do you have one? Where do you keep it? email me at Audrey4j@yahoo.com if you have one. I'll send you a prize!

Saturday Josh (I'm talking about my grandson, not the main character in Motocross Mania.) finally forced me onto Facebook. You wouldn't do that to your grandmother, I know! He wanted me to watch the cool video of him snowboarding, and all the nifty** things he does. So I'm on Facebook! Check IT OUT! Go easy on me--I'm new to this.

**I love nifty! Don't you? Josh hates hates hates it--He hates it. Let's start a new word from the 50s. Start using nifty and get everybody using it. Influence your friends for good! ☺☺☺

FOIL THE CRIMINALS!

Josh wrote the last two posts, but there's one problem--Josh is a fictional character! Go figure. So who's writing these posts?  You guessed--I'm writing them!!! Once I became a fiction writer, I found I was capable of fictionalizing anything!

Anyone can use the idea God dropped into my brain to advertise my books, and keep my credit card safe too. Go ahead and use my stuff--I'm giving it to you, no strings.

Fits In Your Wallet

You've probably heard that criminals scan our credit cards and passports in our wallets.  Unless we've shielded the card's magnetic strip with TINFOIL. Or spent a fortune on one of those HEAVY dudes for sale on the Internet or at WalMart. Mine sell for only 75 cents, and materials cost about 10 cents. Prices will increase if I go to commercial laminating. Time needed--3 minutes!

You know how it works--Thugs use the same scanner you swipe your card on in the store. They can lift your numbers from a distance of two or three feet, and you'll never find out who stole your identity.

Here's just one link on how scammers scan. I  surfed the Net and found several websites and lots of information. This link mentions tinfoil as a good block to RFID scanners.

FOIL THE CRIMINALS! These little gems help spread the word to your friends, your parents, teachers, anyone you want to impress with your extreme maturity and ability to spot/solve a problem a mile away. I plan to use them as gifts at book signings, tucked into a bill I'm paying, wherever. I gave one to my doctor yesterday!


TAKE THREE EASY STEPS TO SAFETY!
STEP ONE--COVER. Lay two business cards face up, about 1/8-inch apart. Laminate with clear packing tape, allowing a small margin to fold over the outside edges. Press the little margin in place.

STEP TWO--FOIL LINING. Place a double thickness of heavy duty tinfoil on the back side. Grab scissors and trim to fit. Use more packing tape (or duct tape) to laminate foil in place. Allow another small margin to fold over the outside edges if you're using packing tape. Otherwise, cut duct tape to the same size as the card. Make sure all tape is sealed.

STEP THREE--FOLD CARDS together to make a pouch. Tape the ends if desired. (I left mine open.) Insert into a slot of your wallet. The user will think of you every time s/he uses the SAFE credit card.

JOSH'S THOUGHTS ABOUT BEING AFRAID

I haven't posted for a while, but I'm back now, ready to talk more often. I crave your comments--Talking to myself is boring!

Grandma told me about a high school shooting last week in her town, Omaha, Nebraska. A popular principal and assistant principal were shot, and the assist died. The principal's pastor sent a message to the newspaper, with words about fear. Read some of his thoughts below.

"In the wake of such a tragedy, we are left with significant questions about spiritual matters.... Many students will go back to school and ask, "Am I safe? Should I be afraid?" ... One evil act can demonstrate just how fragile life is....

"3,000 years ago, King David was on the run from evil men and asked some similar questions. Here was what he wrote to God in Psalm 17:1-3.
'The LORD is my light and my salvation.Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?
When evildoers assail me to threaten my body,
It will be my enemies and foes who stumble and fall.
Though an army encamp against me, my heart will not be afraid.
Though war rise against me, I will still be confident.'

'David's... confidence was only  in God...nowhere else. And this just makes sense. God is the only unchanging thing in this world. God is the only thing that transcends life and death. There is nowhere else to find hope and stability....
' The truth is that there are no assurances that we are safe from gunmen today. We are not safe from invading armies, terrorists, or disease. Any of them might strike at any minute. Our confidence, hope, and assurance is only in the heart of a God who is unchanging, sovereign and good.... Knowing the source of comfort makes you a great comforter....
'So approach this day with confidence because of the security we have in God....'"
