Victim of a smear campaign

Update: If you have received any email that mentions my “fake arrest”, please copy that (with headers) into the comment form and send to me. This is not a joke, someone is out there to ruin my reputation.
Thanks to Kokonut Pundit for bringing up to my attention, now I’ve joined the major leagues.

Yep, someone is jealous of me and is spreading fake rumor about me.

I have no idea who has an axe to grind. I don’t sell from deafbiz.com so no one has been ripped off.

For the record, I’ve never been arrested. I’m not involved in any charity or deaf non-profit organization for many years. I’ve paid my dues as a volunteer for NCJD/JDC and have retired from volunteering for deaf organizations.

I know I’m not the only one. I got fake email about someone else being
arrested and I know better to investigate first to confirm my
suspicious that he was a victim of a smear campaign as well.

I guess there’s a few sick individuals out there getting their jollies making trouble for law-abiding citizens. I just have one thing to say to them - grow up.

Financial Blogs - All in one place

As I’ve written before (and I know some other deaf/HH bloggers have written about this issue), you need to take control of your own finance and you need to educate yourself on money management and not depend on VR and SSI/SSD. It’s a darn shame that the schools still don’t teach money management! And parents are no better ;-)

The information is out there. If you can read and have access to a computer, you have all the skills you need to improve your financial situation.

Here’s a good starting place - PFBlogs.org

And another good starting place - Borrow books on personal finance at the library.
