I updated the mobile theme so it’s not quite so blah anymore. I also fixed the visual ugliness that was appearing in browsers other than Internet Explorer.

I’ll have those recipes for smoked ribs, holiday turkey and poultry brine up sometime this week. I’ll also get the links on the front page fixed. I realized a little while ago they are still linking to the old pages I had when I was using Movable Type.

Snopes.com: 809 Area Code Scam

I recently received an email warning me of the 809 scam. The email states that Snopes confirms it as a scam. Actually, Snopes.com states that this is a “mixture of true and false information.” It’s true in the sense that it’s going on [and has been since 2000 or so] but false regarding the amount of money involved. Additionally, Snopes reports that the scam is not very common.

If you don’t know anyone in the 809 area code, why would you return the call? In this day and age with ubiquitous email and phone scams in the news, such as those asking you to be an agent for someone to transfer money or claiming you’ve won some prize that seems too good to be true, why are there still so many gullible people out there falling for them? Have we become so lazy and greedy that we’ll do anything to make a few bucks or get rich?

IMO, if you’re stupid enough to fall for these scams, you deserve the consequences. If you’re stupid enough to believe you need to call back to an unfamiliar area code when you have no reason to or don’t know the caller, then you deserve to get ripped off.

For the full story, check out snopes.com: 809 Area Code Scam.

I occasionally get calls on my cell phone from numbers I don’t recognize. Unless the caller leaves a voice mail, I ignore the call completely. I don’t call them back. Many times, I don’t even call back if the caller does leave a voice mail if I don’t know the caller. I really don’t understand why this is so difficult.

If you aren’t familiar with an area code, it’s quite easy to look it up on the internet. Simply Google “area codes” or check out Area Decoder.

This is just plain ass common sense, and it pains me to think that so many people don’t take a moment to think things through. It seems as though we’ve let technology take over our brains and we don’t use them anymore. Come on people, FUCKING THINK for a change!
