Attention Wabash General Hospital Patients! Beware of Medicare scam calls!

Fraudsters are spoofing numbers to steal your personal info, like Medicare or Social Security. Remember: Medicare never calls you out of the blue! If a call seems fishy, hang up right away! These calls are also not coming from an actual WGH number! Protect your identity!

Here are 9 recent scams to watch for:

- New cards mean old ones are invalid

- Cancellation threats requiring "verification"

- Early access offers for COVID vaccines

- Appointment confirmations for free genetic testing

- Eligibility claims for free medical supplies

- Refunds for overpaid benefits

- Pre-approved plans that sound too good to be true

- Calls from American Senior Benefits

- Senior aid helper scams

Many people don't like jury duty, and some are even willing to SAY THINGS THEY SHOULDN'T just to get out of it. Even JUDGES.

A judge in upstate New York was just forced to resign, after he made some wild statements during a jury screening process, where HE was a prospective juror.
His name is Richard T. Snyder. In court transcripts, he said he was a judge, but that he could NOT be impartial. He said, "I know everybody that comes in front of me . . . they're guilty . . . they would not be in front of me [if they were innocent]."
He was asked again if he could set any preconceived notions aside, and he responded, "No. It would not be fair."
Naturally, he was dismissed from the case. But the judge in THAT case reported him to state officials.

An upstate New York judge has resigned after he got out of jury duty by claiming that he couldn’t be impartial because he thought everyone brought before a court is guilty.

Dinner is a great time to connect with your kids and have actual conversations. But screw that . . . there's too much good stuff to watch.
Around two-thirds of Americans say they usually watch TV while eating dinner now. 63% do, compared to 41% who talk to the people they're eating with.

Watching TV isn't the only thing we're up to at dinner: 28% often use their phone . . . 16% listen to music . . . 8% read . . . 6% make phone calls . . . another 6% play video games while they're eating . . . and 3% do chores.
1% said they usually eat dinner while driving, or on their commute. 4% said the same about breakfast.
The poll found dinner is our favorite meal by far. It's also the one we're least likely to skip, and our LONGEST meal of the day.

A new YouGov survey explores which meal — breakfast, lunch, or dinner — Americans like the most, when they eat their meals, who they eat with, their most-loved and most-hated parts of meal preparation and what they’re doing while they eat.

When did s*x become a selling point for Build-A-Bear? Here's their Instagram "She's a Cougar" video of a stuffed bear in high heeled boots, with cougar-plush coat. They put it in suggestive poses and even have an "On the Prowl" jingle.

Shaboozey's song, "A Bar Song (Tipsy)", just broke the record for the most weeks spent at #1 in the history of the Billboard Radio Songs chart. It beat out The Weeknd's song "Blinding Lights" for the honor.
It has now been #1 for a 27th week. It beat out The Weeknd's song "Blinding Lights" for the honor. Which is another song that's impossible to get out of your head.
1. It topped the Country Airplay chart for seven consecutive weeks back in August, which was the longest streak ever for a debut single.
2. It also made more history on the Country Airplay chart, as it continues to stay in the Top 10 for a record-extending 31st week.
3. "Tipsy" is also the first song ever to break into the Top 5 on the Country Airplay chart, Pop Airplay chart, AND the Adult Pop Airplay chart.
This just goes to show what a crossover success "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" has been. His new song "Good News" has been doing well, but it's gotta be impossible to follow up the massive success of "Tipsy".

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” extends its reign to a 27th week at No. 1 on Billboard’s [...]

According to a new study, MORNINGS are actually the happiest time of day, when people are "more satisfied, and less downbeat." The least-happy time is midnight, or whenever you go to bed.
According to a new study, MORNINGS are actually the happiest time of day, when people are "happier, more satisfied, and less downbeat."

Experts analyzed data from almost 50,000 adults, throughout two years, and found that regardless of the day, a person wakes up in a good mood . . . and that is the best they're going to feel all day.

It's a bit of a rollercoaster after that . . . with a big dip around 10:30 A.M. But there's another surge of happiness around 6:00 P.M., when many people are off work, and having dinner.
There's a downturn throughout the evening, and the LEAST happy time is midnight, or whenever you go to bed for the night.
They didn't address "morning people" vs. "night owls" . . . or any other factors. (Like if you've had a nightcap, or two, in the evening.)

Generally, things really do seem better in the morning, with clear patterns across time of day in how we report our mental health and wellbeing, suggest the findings of a large study led by researchers at UCL.

A poll of 3,000 Americans found Buffalo wings are the best Super Bowl food, followed by chips, nachos, and pizza.
"Mental Floss" shared a dubious study last week that found America's favorite Super Bowl foods were Buffalo chicken dip and baked potatoes.
Here's what our ACTUAL favorites are.

1. Buffalo wings. 31 states, including almost everywhere east of the Mississippi.

2. Chips. Seven states: Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, New Mexico, Massachusetts, and Alaska.

3. Nachos. Five states: Colorado, Maine, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin. (If you combine those two, then chips really got 12.)

4. Pizza. Three states: California, Michigan, and South Dakota.

5. Cheese charcuterie boards. Three states: Iowa, Kansas, and Montana.

6. Loaded potato skins. They're #1 in Hawaii.

We surveyed 3,000 Americans to find out each state's favorite Super Bowl snack, dip and drink.
