No not paranoid @Jordan2. Wise!

and using a healthy dose of skepticism which we all can use these days!

"If you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew. Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? can you paint with all the colors of the wind?"

You are exactly right to be a skeptic. These days, you can't trust anyone or anything. Don't know how we got to this point, but I don't suppose there's any going back.

Speaking of paranoid, with these Ring doorbell cameras everyone seems to have in the suburbs, all a kid has to do is walk down the street wearing a hoodie and the whole neighborhood is on high alert. The NextDoor app lights up as word goes out of the "suspicious character" casing the area. It's really quite funny to see imaginations work overtime. Too many housewives and retirees with too much time on their hands.

@Kachina624

Yeah, it might be "imaginations working overtime" until those same Ring cameras are recording all the brazen thug porch pirates who are making a business of stealing our Amazon, QVC and all other purchases EVERY.DAM.DAY. (Sorry, I just get so irate that this has been going on for 2+ years with no end in sight.)

I don't answer anything that says "You've WON!!!". They want me to pay a small price for an item I don't want.

@Jordan2

In this instance? NO! In others you have posted about? In my opinion, yes.

I have gotten two different emails, one supposedly from DHL the other one I forget. They both tell me my package has been suspended and want me to click on a link to track my packages. Only thing is, I'm not expecting any packages and thank you very much I can track my own packages!

I'd assume it's a scam and delete it.

@Jordan2 not paranoid, so many scams. I get at least 10 a day in my junk mail. CVS, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, USPS, DHL, FedExpress, Netflix. No Netflix, no DHL, no Fedex account.

Get your package that’s missing. Anything I buy, I can and do track. delete them all.

I think it is never a bad idea to be aware of what is going on in your neighborhood. We live on a cul-de-sac and it is rare to see someone walking down our street unless they are a neighbor. Sometimes they are a solicitor so I just ignore them.
