Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Class mates

The old guy ahead of me in the grocery check-out looked about two coughing spells away from the Promised Land. I didn't notice him until he tried to pay with a credit card, and the clerk told him it expired in 1997. Then, he noticed me. "Hey, buddy," he smiled, "how ya doin'? Remember me from high school?" "Sure," I lied, "but I don't remember what class you taught." "Nah," he replied, "I'm Ray, and I sat behind you in […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Sales calls

When I was a kid, door-to-door sales folks rang our bell all the time. They sold just about anything. One time I bought encyclopedias from a guy at my door. Call me a softie, but I can’t turn down anybody holding 26 books in each arm. I hope he sold that other set, too.

Elderly Americans Can’t Neglect Dental Care Any Longer

In fact, the Metlife Mature Market Institute recently reported the total loss suffered by victims of elder financial abuse each year is $2.6 billion.
