Thanks RAL and Mags!

I worked a few years in N. Ireland before coming to Canada, and decided to pay back contributions to HMR&C to get my British pension. I'm just now beginning to receive it. Thankfully, it is not being spent on alcohol.
I've not heard of HMR&C scammers?

Mr ral is self employed leshar. it's not uncommon to receive phone calls (recorded) , text messages and emails allegedly from HMRC saying following your tax return you owe xxxx or due to your late return you owe xxx. please click on this link...... and the rest you can guess

Welcome to Weekenders RAL!

I was delighted to receive letter from His Majestey's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) yesterday complimenting me - they said that one of my items due was "Outstanding" - I was particularly surprised as I can't remember paying it.
That’s scary, Sao. I didn’t realize that you were referring to a scam. And by mail, too!

Billie and I walked down to the PO to mail dk's book. Home health nurse comes today to change the dressing on both of my wounds, the graft site and the donor site. The donor site hurts a bit.

As soon as I dust mop the floors and change the litter in the cat box all my chores will be done for the day.

You are doing incredibly well, dear least. Seriously. I have never known anyone to bounce back so quickly form a skin graft like the one you had. s ❤️❤️

Sobriety and life in general are very good now. I have made quite a few beneficial changes in my behavior and thinking. Permanent changes that has changed who I am and how I see the world. I'm the best version of me that has happened in a long time coming.

Good RAL, you can do it. See you in the morning.

Sao, my email - I must have a hundreds of packages' waiting that need my cash to complete their delivery. I am a very lucky guy apparently by all the prizes I won too. Not to mention my banking institution is nothing more that one big screw up by all the notices I get for my 'immediate action' required...LOL. There are some anti-scam personal protection tips and tricks I know that keep me safe online as with real life..

Local police busted a big scam involving skimmers. They get your card info to make credit cards of your accounts with your passwords and they go shopping on your dime.

My heart is happy reading this, Least. I was worried that you’d have to take yourself to the nurse to get the wounds cared for. Hope you’re not in too much pain.
Is Billie is doing okay? ❤️

Good luck RAL!

Sadly it is not a scam - I really do owe the Inland Revenue some money. It is not a surprise but I was getting hopeful they hadn't noticed. As all Arsenal supporters know - it's the hope that gets you in the end.

Hope everyone is doing ok.

You are outstanding sao.

Loved Herman’s Hermits Zen.

Always good to see you least. What caused the wound?

It’s pouring with rain here and floods are expected. Looking out my window onto the Chinese Jasmine I planted to give privacy. They’ve gone all green and drippy with the rain, and I’m going to plant more, soon.

Poached eggs over jazz. I’m happy with my lot.

Steely, The Drifters are the bomb I grew up in Motown. Black music in in my DNA almost...LOL. I love all the contributions African American have enriched my society. You should see me dance, I got all the moves NOT! I look like I need immediate medical attention when I dance. Spazmatic dancing I guess you call it..

This one is just for you Feel the Funk In your Bones

Whatever happens, good or bad, I will stay quit this weekend. All I have to do is never take the first drink.

Dead right DD.

It’s the first drink that does the damage. And we’re not into damage, any longer.

Congrats on your days DD. I’m 8 days off the smokes!
