I foolishly opened a fake FB e-mail and that's how they got hold of my entire address book. Now I have lost everything in both of my e-mail accounts, including my contact file. If I can't remember your address you may not be hearing from me. I am going to change my e-mail server as soon as I receive all mail the next few days so I can, hopefully, restore some of the contact addresses I had. <br /><br />I would appreciate getting an e-mail from everyone in the next 48 hours so I can copy your e-mail address and start building a new contact list.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-88848018572198687072012-08-09T06:40:55.630-07:002012-08-09T06:40:55.630-07:00Sounds like they were very polite and probably not...Sounds like they were very polite and probably not an unusual thing with older people who live alone.

I'm sure EMTs have seen so much that one more person makes little impact. Expect they were just pleased you didn't actually need medical assistance. <br /><br />Even with what I do in health care, I've encountered enough "unusual" situations that not much phases me any more and quickly passes through my visual cortex.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342692190188505824.post-24857718708176200142012-08-06T15:49:18.630-07:002012-08-06T15:49:18.630-07:00*One Woman's Journey - Good for you by not le...*One Woman's Journey - Good for you by not letting things embarrass you.
