Anonymous Letter on Trash

Our law office received an anonymous letter regarding some trash spilled on Broad Street in Nashua on June 16, 2011. The letter noted that our name was found on a prescription bottle (and I assume some sort of internet search was done to match the name). That trash was not ours and has nothing to do with the Adamsky Law Offices nor the Adamsky family. Mrs. Adamsky is a Registered Pharmacist and her name appears on every bottle when she fills a prescription. The bottle probably belonged to one of her patients.

Thank you to the good person who picked up that trash. We understand from your letter that it was disposed of properly and that the confidentiality of the careless person who dropped this trash was maintained. You are to be commended for your kind act. And, we agree that everyone should be careful with their garbage and see that it is properly handled.

And, we remind everyone to review their procedures for disposing of sensitive information such as prescription bottles. It is recommended that you soak off the label before you dispose of it. Also, if you have unused prescription medicines, please check with your local authorities for the best way to dispose of them safely and securely.

Stratfor - When Things Go Bad

I regularly read reports from Stratfor - an information service that comments on world affairs, terrorism and even personal safety. This report is good reading to help anyone survive a bad situation. I thought it was worth repeating. When Things Go Bad By Scott Stewart Over the past several weeks, we [Stratfor] have discussed a number of different situations that can present a common problem to people caught up in them. First, we discussed how domestic terrorism remains a persistent threat in the United States, and that despite improvements in security measures since 2001, soft targets still remain vulnerable to attack by terrorist actors driven by a variety of motivations. Due to the devolution of the jihadist threat toward the grassroots, there is also a growing trend of jihadist actors using armed assaults instead of bombing attacks. We also discussed the continuing problem of workplace violence , and finally, we discussed last week evacuation plans for expatriates

4 Planning Tips for Parents of Disabled Children

Buy enough life insurance . You can’t be replaced, but someone will have to fill in if you aren’t there. Your family will probably have to pay for some services that you used to provide. You can provide the money necessary, even if you don’t have much now, with life insurance. Set up a trust . Any assets left for a child with special needs, including life insurance proceeds, should be held in trust. Leaving money directly to someone with a special need jeopardizes public benefits. Some families disinherit children with special needs, relying on siblings to care for them. This approach is fraught with potential problems. The best approach is a trust fund set aside for the child with special needs. Write down the care plan . You must write down what a future caregiver will need to know about your special needs child. You may know everything but you need to write it down so it can be passed on. The memo or letter can be kept in the attorney's files or with the parent's estate plan

It's really Spring!

It's clearly Spring around here. On the way to work this morning I saw several groups of Turkeys. In each group there was at least one male presenting his tail for the females. This looks like the classic picture you see of a Turkey around Thanksgiving with his big tail unfurled like a peacock. But, you won't see that in November, it is courting behavior used in the Spring to find a mate. Imagine if we humans had some sort of mating system like that. The males puff themselves up, furl out their tails and strut around waiting for a female to find them attractive ... that would be something ... oh, wait!
