Being a little older, I am very fortunate to have someone call and check on me everyday.

[Brother Buzz]

He's from India, and very concerned about my car warranty.

[Chille]

4. Lol

I was going to write how lucky you are lol I sometimes wonder as I walk down my stairs that I could fall and I wouldn’t be found for weeks

[Ocelot II]

17. Same here.

I figure I'd lie around long enough for my cat to eat most of me before anybody checked on me.

[TexasTowelie]

6. We all need to be loved.

[sprinkleeninow]

9. You are lucky to have such a thoughtful and concerned friend.

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. LOL. Excellent!

I had never thought about it, but the elderly folks and/or those who live alone can use those spam callers as a kind of check-in.

[IronLionZion]

11. People without cars have that friend too

he has no idea what car we have or where we live so it seems legit.

12. A telemarketer actually saved a woman's life when he heard a struggle and a woman in danger:

A man had a gun and she screamed "Please don't kill me" so the telemarketer, whose call came in just in time, called police:

13. My friend from India calls every week, insisting I need some knee and back braces.

I keep telling them that my orthopedic surgeon does not want me wearing braces as it weakens my muscles.

But they call any way. They are nice that way.

14. You have no idea how much I needed that laugh. Thank you!

[dchill]

15. Me, too, Brother Buzz.

I have entered his number on a special list in my phone!

16. The sentimental touch

[Historic NY]

18. Our town police dept used to have operation reassurance

where seniors called in by noon, if not a car was dispatched to check on people. They did find people injured or sick so it was worth the effort.

20. Almost daily I win $7,500,000 & a new Mercedes Benz from PCH

So I just started thanking him for having the car & money delivered to my front door yesterday.
He doesn't believe I paid the delivery guy the 1% tax in cash and have a receipt.

21. I bet most seniors get these frequently.

My daily list includes -
Medicare enrollment calls - I'm getting at least several of these a day, yesterday it was 5! I will call them if I have ??
Burial insurance - I am getting cremated
Timeshare calls - we have never owned a timeshare but lots of people think we do
Big dollar Amazon shipment calls - we never made any of these purchases & when you try to connect, the person immediately wants all your information and doesn't know what you are talking about.
Social security fraud - these have eased way up, thankfully. They were every day for awhile.

[TrogL]

22. I have one too

Wants to clean my furnace ducts

[Bird Lady]

23. I get those too

I especially am a real concern for medicare programs no matter how many times
I tell them I am covered.

[iscooterliberally]

24. The called and asked for my social security number too.

I told them it was '3'.

[h2ebits]
