This week on The Perfect Scamp.

Into the box we go.

Bank of America

with a summary page from the bank and my notes on it,

Bank of America 10,000 plus 9, 139 plus 5,369. Plus 5,360 and Chase and the receipt is for 25,520 and I've kept the 11 cents.

There they are into the box

It's a beautiful vocation and we'll get to that.

But Linda is here to talk with us today about the day her life was turned upside down.

When a threatening phone call led to a four and a half month nightmare that forced

her to retire from the jobs she loves, saw her buying gold bars and putting them into

a stranger's car, and, well, she thinks the whole experience could

have killed her.

Or not even hospice patients patients but playing in hospitals. I've played for dialysis
