Important - especially here in South Texas. Right now our temperature is only 85F, but the humidity is 72%. That means the total is 157!

I seldom post a recommendation for a business on my page, but today I had a young entrepreneur come to my place to detail the interior and exterior of both my car and my old 2003 F350 pickup truck. He did an incredible job! I'll go take photos and post later, but I wanted to let you all know that if you live in the Houston area and need your vehicle cleaned and detailed, you absolutely should call him! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557532870584

It's that time of year again. Bob & Pam Langrish will be back in Houston May 22-27, 2024 doing free photo shoots of purebred dogs of every breed to add to their extensive catalog of photos used by the calendar and magazine companies all over the world. Want to see your dog in a calendar? Contact me with the breed(s) of your dogs and get on the schedule!

Can we put this hoax to bed once and for all? Copying and pasting some stupid post about Meta not having your permission to use your photos is total BS. Stop doing this and spreading this nonsense. Read the truth here.

A hoax telling people to copy and past a copyright notice on Facebook has been making the rounds since 2012. Can we make it go away? Please!

Well, here are more scams going around right now. Alert your friends and family.

From fake crypto cops to a fraudulent cell service outage email, here are five scams making the rounds to watch for.

03/01/2024

The lowlifes of the world are betting more and more devious. Here are some of the latest scams out there. Beware and spread the news:

- thieves rent cars, sell them to unsuspecting buyers, then swipe them back with cloned keys and return them to the rental agency

- thieves are reading obituary sites, then using this information to make YouTube video obituaries and set up fake GoFundMe accounts claiming to be collecting funds for the families of the deceased

- thieves are preying upon people who post online about their lost pet by going online to the person's social media pages and getting more information about the pet and then claiming they found the pet and demanding payment for its return.

- thieves are posting fake AirB&B and Verbo properties and taking reservations and collecting deposits for a property that doesn't exist

- Facebook has so many fake ads to sale of items for incredible prices that you should just avoid it altogether

- extortionists can clone your loved one's voice and send you a voicemail convincing you that your loved one is stuck somewhere and needs cash NOW

- thieves are sending very legitimate looking emails and texts with cloned email addresses or phone numbers that appear to be from people you love convincing you that they need money NOW

- more and more texts are being sent that appear legit but that have links to take your money (text from IRS about a late fee, UPS about a package stuck at a warehouse needing additional postage paid, from your bank about paying the wire transfer fee on something someone is sending you, renewal of some app like Google, your antivirus software, a subscription to some service), etc

- thieves are faking links in Google search to major sales websites like hotels, Best Buy, Etsy, Amazon, Ebay, Walmart, etc. These links take to you what looks like the real site and there you order stuff or make a reservation and pay for it.

- thieves are preying on the elderly by sending fake foreclosure notices on their homes with a way to cancel the foreclosure by paying the alleged "missed payment"

and so much more. Please be careful out there! Ways to protect yourself:

1. Have a "secret code word" in your family that is NEVER to be revealed to anyone else and used ONLY to confirm that the person with whom you are communicating is actually the family member. Have a second code word that let's your family know you need help and that anything else you are saying is being forced.

2. ANY text or email or phone call you get that claims to be coming from a government agency, utility company or other company and is saying you owe money or that you ordered something you did not, do NOT communicate with them. Contact the actual agency or company using a phone number that you know is legit (not the one in the text or email) and get a customer service rep on the phone to check it out.

3. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it's likely a scam.

Really important for my horse friends!

Here is your reminder to check your alfalfa for the presence of blister beetle prior to feeding it to your horses—especially if you feed alfalfa hay from a new or unknown harvesting source.

"The blister beetle (Epicauta) is highly toxic to sheep and cattle, but primarily to horses," says AAEP member Dr. Benjamin Espy. "As little as four (4) to six (6) grams of blister beetles can be deadly to a 1100-pound horse. Blister beetles swarm in alfalfa fields and are drawn into bales by accident. Even small parts of these beetles are toxic to a horse, and whole insects need not be present to be dangerous. Although cantharidin can exist in the alfalfa used to make pellets and cubes, cantharidin toxicity is very rare by this route. Some people believe that it has to do with the processing, others believe that it’s because the feed companies are using alfalfa from reputable sources that have good insect control."

If you suspect your horse is showing signs of toxicity, call your veterinarian immediately. While there is no antidote for the toxin found in blister beetles, your veterinarian may still be able to save your horse by providing supportive care to combat dehydration, help evacuate toxins from the gastrointestinal tract and delay potential absorption. Since there are many representatives of the species Epicauta, contact your local agricultural agent so they can help you identify any beetle that looks suspicious.

Pay attention to this!

When is it too hot to ride your horse? Temperature alone is not a good guide when it comes to deciding if you should ride on a hot summer day. It is the combination of heat and humidity that should be your major concern: https://loom.ly/dGXEeqY
