Breaking News: Scammers are jerks! In the latest round of Facebook scams, users are receiving Facebook messages with the subject “Look who died” and a link to a “news” article that is, you guessed it, a phishing site.
What is a scammer’s favorite way to trick you? A sense of urgency and fear! And what could be scarier than someone you know dying?

Monday, May 29, is Memorial Day—the day designated by Congress in 1967 to honor fallen active-duty military service members.
Americans should hold in high regard all who sacrificed to serve and protect us and our allies abroad. Much of the free world owes America’s military service members, past and present, a tremendous debt of gratitude for the safety and freedoms enjoyed by countries around the globe. However, there should be a special place in our hearts for Read More

Downsizing for retirement takes planning, hard work, time and usually expense.

Recently, I went to see “Are You There God? It’s me, Margaret.” It’s a movie based on a novel of the same name written by Judy Blume.

If teenager Beau Wilson – now forever labeled the Farmington mass murderer – had been behaving erratically, and a relative or friend had noticed and had sought help from law enforcement, what might law enforcement have done?
If a friend or family member had been concerned about the houseful of firearms he had access to, or the assault weapon he purchased several months ago, or the three magazines for that weapon he purchased a few days before his murderous rampage, and had asked for help, what might law enforcement have done?
