Newest sub in town

Got my badge, parking pass, and login. Picked up 4 assignments today; first one is tomorrow AM. Will let you know how it goes.

The week pays off

I passed the TExES PPR exam, completed the substitute teaching course at Region10, and finally got the details worked out for subbing in RISD. Badge pics and fingerprints Monday.

Yelp

I am going to start writing my restaurant reviews on Yelp. It's really easy to do, and I've already used the reviews of others to find some great spots in Richardson.

Extreme VA Mortgage scumbaggery

I have learned to shred mortgage scams without reading them, but this one was so devious that I need to address it.

The front of the trifold mailer says:

"President signs the Veteran's Benefit Act of 2008" and "Immediate economic relief for Veterans.

Well, since the former President did not do that and no special relief has been target for vets I thought I would investigate further and expose this scam.

The inside says

"Bailout Program Eligibility Notice",

then goes on with more hype and misleading crap gleaned from public records. It ends with this footnote:

Mortgage relieve (sic) referred to above is the 2008 Stimulus Act passed this year by Congress and signed by the President. For details please visit http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-5561.

Please do visit that site and read how the bill was not passed and was not signed by the president. The flyer contained an email address eric@yourvapro.com in case anyone has questions about the offer. Does anyone have questions?
