Social Media & Disability

In January 2014 eighty New York City police and firefighters were charged with Social Security disability fraud. Many of these people had worked on 9-11 or in the aftermath and claimed disabilities stemming from that experience including both physical and mental problems. Since then, some have been exonerated, but many still face charges and lengthy jail times if convicted. How did the government catch them? In many instances the officials combed through social media sites including Facebook to find posts and pictures depicting the suspect performing activities that they indicated they could not do when they applied for Social Security disability benefits. One person reportedly posted pictures of himself driving a jet ski.

National Baking Month

December needs to be declared National Baking Month! Almost everyone has fond memories of mothers or grandmothers bustling around a flour covered kitchen from which came wisps of fragrant baked goods tantalizing the senses. My grandmother’s big thing was minced meat pie. She made it every Thanksgiving and Christmas for my grandfather. I was never really into the taste of the pie, but the aromatic spices sure could make the entire house smell simply wonderful!
