Go Red Events

From the Harrison County Community Education Center:

GO RED FOR WOMEN 2008

February marks the “Go Red for Women” movement. Four years ago Cynthiana began their own campaign, the Harrison County “Go Red for Women”. This year our committee would like to add a bit more red and make the entire town a part of our heart disease awareness campaign through “Paint the Town Red”. This event will be an exciting one. Beginning February 1, we are asking all businesses to adorn their windows in red in honor of heart disease awareness and in support of your local “Go Red” Committee and our many survivors. We all know that heart disease is just not a man’s disease; it’s the number one killer of women nationwide AND in Harrison County.

Please keep the following dates in mind as we Paint Cynthiana Red in February!!

January 28, the annual “Go Red” picture featuring the HC Realtors Association is scheduled to appear in the Cynthiana Democrat

February 1, National Wear Red Day & Paint the Town Red

February 1, Go Red Harrison County Schools & Go Red Harrison County

February 3, Wear Red to Church Day

February 19, Go Red for Women Celebration, Cynthiana Christian Church, 5:00pm to 6:30pm. Guest speaker, Dr. Nezar Falluji, HMH Cardiologist.

Remember, heart disease doesn’t care what you wear, it’s the #1 killer of women and by displaying RED the month of February and wearing red on February 1, it’s a simple, powerful way to raise awareness of heart disease and stroke.

Please email or mail pictures of your business, organization, family, church, etc… all celebrating “Go Red” so we may include them in the celebration education on February 19. For more information, please feel free to contact me by phone or email.

Wind Advisory – Harrison (Kentucky)

debt collection story…

I received a call this morning from a gentleman who claimed to be an agent of the law firm of Gerald E. Moore and Associates. I believe that the call is most likely that of a debt collector, for some old debt which I have been unable to pay from years past, or have simply forgotten about.
I tried to google the number left on the answering machine, and didn’t find any results. I did, however, run across an interesting story attached to a firm of the same name:

A few weeks ago, I recieved a message from some place claiming to be an ‘Attorney’s Office,’ with the phone number 866-448-8558, on my answering machine. So I called the place up and spoke to a representative who claimed that I was going to be sued for 5000 dollars if I didn’t pay. So I thought to myself… ‘wow, he’s filing a lawsuit against me.’ I asked which court he’s filing a suit against me in, and he told me he didn’t know. Hmm, a little suspicious. I told him I would call him back within 30 minutes, because I wanted to seek legal advice from my friend, who’s an attorney.
I called back this wonderlust of an Attorney’s Office, and I informed the representative that I would be recording my phone call with him, after all, if i make a payment agreement, etc, then I want evidence for my records. After he consented, I started yelling racial slurs at him (which is not illegal), and I told him that I do not do business with members of his race because I find them to be beneath me (which is also not illegal). I then proceeded to read some pages from Mein Kampf and I told him that I love Hitler and I made a few more derogatory comments about his race. Anyways, he started cursing me out, and he threatened to kill me, and since I had it on tape, all I had to do was file a lawsuit. Low and behold, I won!
If you want to beat a collection agency, do something like that. It’s a lot more fun than paying, and hey…it helps relieve stress
