Time Warner Cable - Huntington Beach, CA... @twc @twc_help

I would be rude and just write FUCK YOU in the title, but that would be inappropriate without raising some issues within this text.

I moved to Huntington Beach, in 2011 and from that point on, proceeded to get screwed by your company along the way for bills that were constantly being increased without explanations being given. Similar to the screwy healthcare being provided by Sunrise of Huntington Beach where they give meds without authorizations, and increase bills without explanations. You two should get into bed together, you might have a great time.

I get my day interrupted by some hack from a collections agency stating "I am looking for Michael Murdock to discuss a personal business matter" - FYI - that is a violation of the Fair Debt Collections Act and the FTC will be informed that you've authorized this action.

In 7-21 days after a service has been disconnected you send someone to collections? WTF??? After providing 4 years of spotty-assed service, turning OFF services for no reason because your repair people were in a hurry, multiple issues with DVR equipment and while you replaced the equipment after we had to find your offices because you kept closing and moving them, you don't credit the bill for the inconvenience...you raise the damn thing.

Why doesn't the Federal Trade Commission run a scope up your asses and find out where your brains got hidden because you are screwing over the people of Southern California and no one has the balls to go up against you and say anything. Well....you just uncovered one very pissed off Disabled US NAVY VETERAN who has a knack for drawing attention to matters. Thanks for doing that, now we can get down to specifics and have a few other people hire some ambulance chasing lawyer out there who wants to make some bucks and SUE you people for ripping off your customers.

And what's really interesting is the bills you send out (Still waiting to receive my final bill thank you very fucking much), but the bills you send out with no explanations as to why there are increases, and when you're questioned about it at your wonderful offices, you say "Oh, we made a mistake, let us fix that, and that will credit on your next billing cycle, but you still owe what is on here, how would you like to pay? oh and can we offer you an upgrade to yadda yadda at the same time?"

NON-DEPENDABLE SERVICES
LOUSY PHONE SERVICES - Only 30 blocked numbers allowed? In the digital age, should be more than 1000.
NO 100MB INTERNET SERVICES - only 10MB-50MB and NEVER consistent.
NO 300MB INTERNET SERVICES - although you claimed new equip would deliver this without issues. It never did, but you charged for it.

Raised BILL when I disconnected Phone services but told me the bill would not increase.
Outages every few months, no credits to bill for services not delivered, but bills increased.
Hell the only people who really give a damn are the techs out there and you're screwing them on their wages, their overtime, and their benefits too.

You should be shut the hell down by the FTC and be required to give back the last 4 years of payments to every single customer in Southern California for your crappy services. Come to think of it, I think I'll send a copy of this to the Governor's offices so maybe the State can dig into your drawers and see what the hell is going on and who is making the lion's share of cash there on the backs of customers who are getting screwed.

Now...GO FUCK YOURSELF! Send me to collections? FUCK YOU TIME WARNER CABLE! FUCK YOU UP YOUR STUPID ASSES!

Love,

Michael

AT&T...Remember Me?

Dear AT&T,

A long time ago in a galaxy...well actually in San Francisco 2007, a good friend stood on a stage to announce a product which would change the world. I had one of those products. It was the very first iPhone. It came with an UNLIMITED DATA PLAN which I have been grandfathered into since that very first device.

Now, I have 3 devices, only 1 of them can use that grandfathered data plan because some idiot at the top of your food chain decided that even though there are those of us who have NEVER ABANDONED AT&T that you have to hold us by the balls and only allow us to have 1 device with unlimited data. There were others who threw you a finger and went to other companies and never came back but there are a few of us who have been with you since the beginning.

The LAST THING we want to see on our 1 device is ANYTHING SAYING OUR DATA WILL BE THROTTLED. Why? Because that's NOT part of our ORIGINAL CONTRACT and it's against the law. According to that little organization known as the Federal Trade Commission.

So...how do we resolve this? I'd love to know. Because after paying a bill ON TIME since back then, which is right around 8 years, I really get tired of being told I am approaching some kind of limit because my original contract specifies NO SUCH LIMITS and NO THROTTLING.

Love,

Michael

@att

Arizona!!! We're HOME!

Thanks for those who watched the periscope earlier on twitter. Sorry if the video and sound was a bit whacky. ATT 4G LTE was the signal being used for it. I wanted to get the message out that this post was coming.

My dog and me have spent the past 4 years in Huntington Beach, CA. It's been a time that was filled with some joy, much sadness, immense loss on business, personal, financial, health level and I need your help to get back on track.

Business I had over $100K a year go away due to some interesting circumstances out of my control. It was either stay in a marriage or lose the business. I chose to lose the business. I'm happier as a result of that on a personal level. On a Personal level, I lost BOTH of my parents. Dad in 2013, Mom just this February in 2015. Between the parents, the divorce finalized after more than 1.5 years of delays.

On the 1st of April my Mother's funeral was held at Arlington National Cemetery. I was not able to attend due to an impending eviction process which has now ended with me liquidating more than $30,000 in physical goods which included much technology, as well as things that my family had left me dating back to 1965 when we lived in the Philippines and my Dad did 3 Tours of Duty in Vietnam. Those things are all in the hands of others and for prices which really hurt my heart because of a crooked HOA organization located at Seacliff on the Greens in Huntington Beach, CA. I am happy and blessed to be clear of that place & extremely grateful to be back in Arizona.

Here's what I need help with now. Cash is tight, and I'm hopping with my dog from Motel to Motel right now until I can get enough traction to pay rent for 1 year and get us into a space where we can get life back on track. To that end I have some domains which I am looking to move quickly for cash and looking to get these transactions done this week.

Why should you help? Simple. You'll make a LARGE commission on every sale you help me close. Once I am paid, you're paid. It's that simple. However, in addition to cash, you're going to get something even more valuable. You're going to get my time and you'll find having me available to you to discuss your business or life, we'll get things on track very quickly.

I know that someone out there amidst all that he's doing has the ear of Donald Trump. There are two domains which he should own and the price is very attractive.

MakeAmericaGreat.com & MakeAmericaGreatNow.com both for $100,000.00. Your commission on this sale will be $20,000.00 leaving me and my dog $80,000.00. That money more than sustains us for the next 2.5 years with no issues, all expenses handled, and nothing else needed.

Something to note. It does not have to be TRUMP. WHOEVER comes up with the cash gets the prize. So if you find someone on the other side of the spectrum that wants them, make the connection. Sale closes, you get paid after I do. Simple. I do not like complex things in this arena. There's no reason for them. People make too much of a deal. Do the Deal, MOVE ON.

There are other names which if we can get between $5,000 - $8,000 per name, they'll give you an additional $1,000 in commission per sale closed. Any domain that is priced at the $1,000,000.00 level gets you a commission of $250,000.00.

And the amount of time you'll get from me is 3 one hour calls per week for 8 weeks. Within that time period we can change the world. Ideally the time will be spent discussing how you'll want to market the domain that was purchased but it can literally be about anything.

The sales process is simple. Once there's interest, their person will contact me and we'll arrange transfer of the money to my checking account at Chase Bank (details to be shared with that person directly). They'll deposit a portion of the money and the DNS (Domain Name Services) of the domain will be pointed to their hosting provider. Once they see that and the remainder of the money is transferred, the domain will be unlocked and released to them. They will OWN the domain, no refunds, and they can do with the domain what they desire.

Here's a list of the domains I am looking to move. I own them, they can be purchased and moved at any time. All prices listed are not a joke and are in US DOLLAR AMOUNTS.

$100,000.00 - makeamericagreat.com & makeamericagreatnow.com & I will throw in makeamericagreater.com & makeamericagreatonceagain.com 

$1,000,000.00 - AppleWi.com - Apple WideInternet an idea Steve Jobs & I came up with
$1,000,000.00 - c4yb.com - is in a 90 day holding period so can be pointed until that time ends.
$1,000,000.00 - a4yb.com - anything4yourbusiness
$1,000,000.00 - SteakChannel.com includes TheSteakChannel.com for free.

$10,000.00 - SteakBrew.com - great name for a restaurant, a book or a restaurant website

$8,000.00 - click4love.com - Great for a dating site or book title
$8,000.00 - mindofamillionaire.com - great for a book or seminar leader
$8,000.00 - imoneymagnet.com

$5,000.00 - BusinessCreditSpot.com - includes Thebusinesscreditspot.com
$5,000.00 - MobileGroceries.com - Great for a website that delivers groceries or creating an app

$3,000.00 - ShiftYourFinances.com
$3,000.00 - ShiftYourFinancialFocus.com
$3,000.00 - ShiftYourFinancialOutcome.com
$3,000.00 - ShiftYourFinancialResults.com

$2,500.00 - MotivatingTheTeamSpirit.com
$2,500.00 - LimitedWardrobe.com

This is enough for now. Something to note about the prices. Some will look and say "NO WAY" because they're not looking deep enough at the potential and the long term investment on these. One of these domains was used in a program that generated over $50,000 a month in revenue over the course of just one year. That's a value of $600,000 and that can easily be redone.

The Apple related domain name is something Steve Jobs & I talked about before the iPhone launched. It was fun to discuss things in our friendship of 24 years that no one knew about. The more we talked about this the idea came to me and I coined the term AppleWIdenet which was an Apple exclusive service network that would provide not just cellular service, but tv programming services as well to Apple account holders.

Ideally Tim Cook at Apple will purchase this for the full price of $1,000,000.00 which will allow me to launch my HALT ELDER ABUSE CAMPAIGN across this country as a legacy to my parents who were victims of that, Dad indirectly, Mom directly by a crooked healthcare organization that will remain nameless until that lawsuit hits the courts.

So dig deep into your connections books, see who you can come up with and serious offers for these will be entertained over the next few days. Ideally. these can close this week so that I can get down to the business of rebuilding my life and a life for my dog here in Arizona the right way.

If you have questions, please email murdock@docmurdock.com with only serious offers. Truly serious offers send a fax with contact information for your bank manager to 480-320-4134 so that we can get things on the ball.

Thanks for taking time to read this and for helping me and my dog Sophie make a difference in many lives as a result of your kindness & connections.

GOD, Marriage, Beliefs and more...

I have to share something that really tweaks me. The Supreme Court ruling...God have mercy on them for all the things that they do when they do it. But this ruling basically shoves something into all of our faces and we're told to flat out accept marriage between same sex couples is the law of the land.

It's a lot like a group of people many years ago being told to drink some koolaid and that it was good for them and they'd just go to sleep. Well they did after following their leader, the place was Guyana.

Churches are now being asked to roll back thousands of years of history and to go against the word of God.

But...many don't believe in God. Well...if you don't believe in God then why would you want to go get married in a church? Why should you care where you get married at?

Oh and if you do research on this it's not called a marriage by some churches, it's called a Partnership. So why would you want to go get partnered (better change those invites quickly!!!) in a place where you don't believe something oh and wait for it...

"One of the partners in the partnership in order to be partnered in that place MUST BE A CHRISTIAN" What??? Wait!!! That's discrimination!!!

How can the Supreme Court do this and a church then say that I have to be something I don't believe in because I want to get partnered with so and so!!!

I can see the lawsuits flying and the ambulance chasers saying "OH BABY we gonna go to the SUPREME COURT!!” But when you get to the court they then say… Oh OOPS, we screwed up. Wait!!! That’s discrimination too!!! We’re going to go to…The WHITE HOUSE!!! OBAMA will make it law!!!

Here…sip this Kool Aid, you’re going to go to sleep…NO THANKS!!

Is there something in the water that only some of us are getting and maybe it's because those of us that are thinking straight are doing so because we're drinking Coca-Cola​ and killing off the poison in the water that's causing all the craziness??

I just have to check and see...

God watch over those that make the choice to couple as same sex couples and to partner as they desire with whomever they desire. You gave us all free will and what we do with that free will is of course our choice as you deemed, even for those who by choice say they do not believe. It's interesting that when a non-believer dies, that most of them are caught saying "God help me!" because all of a sudden at the end they get holier than thou and you can't talk them out of the existence of an almighty being known as God.

For all I pray because even though I am now spiritual more than the Catholic kid who was baptized into the church, raised in the church, who'd lift a few wafers, and drink some wine and read and sang and wore the priests robes just to see if I felt closer to God, would go and peek into the priests section in the confession booth to see the Batphone to heaven...(where was the priest getting all of those crib notes from!!!), I am still a believer in The Holy Trinity, and I am believer that when I die I will be called to stand and to account for all of my deeds in this lifetime and I pray that God will be merciful and allow me to live out eternity in Heaven with many others.

That's what I believe. I don't question your beliefs, because they are yours. Now, you know mine, and you don’t have to question them because they are here in writing, and I will never, ever deny them because what’s waiting beyond that very thin veil is so much more than this planet offers us. This is merely a garden we’ve been given an opportunity to play in, to enjoy, to share, and to leave better than when we arrived here.

I hope we start to do a much better job of that.

God Bless all who read this, whether you believe or not. Thank you for reading.

Color doesn't matter...or does it?

This past week the news has been rocked by the story of #RachelDolezal a person born of two white parents who says "I identified as being black". 

My question is, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? You know nothing of the struggle of black people. You know nothing of being deprived as many black people are, you know nothing of having to walk the streets, sign up for various programs and hope your situation warrants you getting assistance for your family. You know NOTHING of being turned down for employment based on your skin color. YOU'RE WHITE!

As a white person who grew up around the globe (in the South Pacific & South China & Philippine Sea areas), I've seen many people of many colors having to deal with many issues. Now, a person who is white has basically snowballed the entire country into believing that she's not of her birth color. Have you seen her parents? GOD BLESS THEM for not executing her under any law for shaming her family as others have done in this country and around the world.

My questions are more around a legal nature. People in this country fight to get benefits and qualify for various programs. Did Ms. Dolezal at ANY time apply for and get approved for any assistance programs in the United States which were only for those who are black? If so, then she lied and she should be held accountable as those programs state when you sign that you are doing so under penalty of perjury, etc.

Now that she is getting her 15mins and then some of fame on the basis of a lie, how does that set the clock back even further? I can see MLK turning over in his grave saying "A WHITE WHAT????" "COME ON PEOPLE!!! I DIDN'T DIE FOR THIS!!"

I look at her and I see a white woman. She's not a dress which was created of black and blue yet people see white & gold. She is a WHITE WOMAN BORN OF WHITE PARENTS WHO LIED. If anyone else did this, you'd hold them accountable. Hold her accountable and lock her butt up in jail for lying and deceiving because that's exactly what she did.

What she did would be like me stepping up and saying "I AM BLACK, SO YOU NEED TO GIVE ALL YOUR MONEY HERE": http://www.gofundme.com/haltelderabuse

I will NOT do that because it would not be right. I have much too much respect for blacks and all that they go through now, have gone through over the years that I have been alive, and how much they'll go through in the future as a result of this woman and her deceit.

Wake Up America!!!! PLEASE!!! COLOR DOES MATTER!!! BE PROUD of WHO YOU ARE & WHO YOU WERE BORN AS. But do stop the barriers between colors because those are not productive. This woman did not break barriers, she made people more suspicious by lying and cheating the system.

Lastly, if she entered a University and on her application and all her documentation claimed she was black, she should have her degree revoked because she did not enter and complete her studies in integrity with the University standards.

Thanks for taking time to read & God Bless Us All.

A bigger, broader mission...

I was visiting with someone this day who came to purchase some things from a sale that I am having in the place I used to call home in Huntington Beach and we were discussing what the http://www.gofundme.com/rebirthlife page is all about. I had a chance to share with her that it wasn’t just about raising some immediate money to get me and Sophie (my dog) moved out of where we’re currently living, it was/is a foundation for a broader mission.

When I finished explaining to her, she was very surprised, impressed, and inspired about the mission which I shared with her and now with you.

What gets to me is that many people raising money for things in this life do it for a number of reasons:

a. Money is everything
b. Money allows me to buy toys
c. Money allows me to take people out to expensive places and impress them
d. Money is the key to happiness.

All of those…are the wrong reasons to raise money. That’s why I’ve stayed away from going to these seminars where you run around with funny hats on and blurt out your requests for money. That’s why I’ve not stood in front of large crowds asking for funds. It’s why I created a page and have been promoting it as much as I have because people need to know that this is a handUP and stepUP and a foundation for the broader mission of informing people. Informing them of ELDER ABUSE on our planet.

Here’s what I want to do with the money that is raised, and the $6000 is just the start. How much do I want to raise totally? The answer is EASY - $5,000,000.00 - 5 Million Dollars.

Now, before you start laughing, let me share with you what those funds will be used for:

a. NOT buying expensive toys

b. NOT taking people out to expensive places to impress them

c. NOT claiming that it is EVERYTHING, and NOT using it to proclaim that Money is the key to happiness.

d. WILL be used for education of many about ELDER ABUSE

e. WILL be used to inform MILLIONS about ELDER ABUSE

f. WILL be used to hold agencies accountable for investigating ELDER ABUSE in ALL CARE FACILITIES in the USA

g. WILL be used to hire & train crack teams that can deploy quickly to remedy ELDER ABUSE situations and engage oversight & reporting

h. WILL be used to RESCUE residents from abusive environments to safer ones quickly, documenting everything & engaging law enforcement to proceed with prosecution of individuals responsible for offenses.

i. WILL be used to assist families with resources to protect their loved ones and their assets.

j. WILL be used to engage lawyers to aid families in recovering funds which are appropriated from them for care that their loved ones truly do not require because of improper staffing by facilities.

k. WILL be used to hold facilities that are tasked with taking care of our elders and our Veterans accountable for all of their actions during the time that those people are in their care.

The bottomline is this money when raised will be used for those things that are important around the mission of informing people of Elder Abuse and bringing a huge spotlight to bear on this problem because we’re ALL getting older. There is no cure for age, and even when there is one, there will be a transition period where people still need care. Everyone is going to be in need of elder care and there’s no reason that these places which are tasked with taking care of our elders should be allowed to get away with abusing those in their trust.

What do I need from you out there? Simple. A $5 donation. The minimum that http://www.gofundme.com/rebirthlife will allow you to donate.

Then, after you’ve donated, email, or facebook, or tweet out to every follower you have and ask them to either match or exceed your donation.

Once the $5 million dollar amount is achieved, the donation acceptance will be stopped, a foundation will be formed, and then the battle begins to expose the spectre of this problem which affects our entire PLANET!! Not just this country.

If you know any celebrities out there who have millions of followers, they have some great pull with them, get them to ask their followers to donate just $5. If you know anyone at Starbuck’s ask them to ask 1,000,000 of their customers to give up coffee for one day and donate their $5 to the page. This will get this campaign funded and over with in less than 24 hours.

If you know anyone in the media who can get the message out and encourage people to donate to this, this matter affects more people than those who were affected by a pizza parlor making a stand against gay weddings in Indiana. In fact, those people who own that pizza parlor are also going to get old and they’ll require care and they could potentially end up being the victims of Elder Abuse.

Working together we can help turn the tables on those companies that take money from families, deliver sub-standard care, and at the very same time abuse our family members, and raise the care rates to suck more and more money from families because they can and no one is holding them accountable.

Thank you in advance for reading this, taking it all in, and understanding the broader mission here. I am moving me and Sophie to a smaller place which is less expensive, and if all goes as planned, getting the car fixed, not replaced, and once all these funds are raised, getting us on the road to begin understanding the issues facing many families placing their parents or relatives into care facilities, and helping them with what all they need.

Once again, here’s the link to read more about me & Sophie, and to donate as well as guide others to:


God bless you all for your help. When you donate, please ask others to either meet or exceed your donation and help us get this fundraising segment over with quickly so that we can get moved out, hold a weekend sale at a rented facility to sell everything we don’t need, get moved into a new space, take a week to breathe & grieve the deaths of my parents, and then get to work!

Sincerely yours,

Michael Murdock, US NAVY VETERAN & son of LCDR Walter E. Murdock & Vincenza Murdock (both deceased, and both abused while they were in the care of a famous facility located in Huntington Beach, CA., specializing in the care of Alzheimer’s & Assisted Living Residents (or so they claim).

So how are you doing?

Someone asked me that this morning and my answer to them surprised even me. I am frustrated, depressed, pissed, surprised, sad, and eventually I’ll get angry, I replied.

That bad? Yes, that bad.

Because it’s Monday, I can be, and I’ve not been without a roof over my head since the 1980’s when I took a 6 month road trip in my car to explore the world a bit and in the end had a phone to pick up to call family and say “Hey, I need help”. Now they’re in the clouds watching all of this and I know they’re wishing they could help once again, but everything that they could do went with them skyward, bless their amazing and loving hearts. They taught me to survive. I want to be so much more than a survivor and they taught me that as well. Don’t settle.

Instead what I have is a mound of paperwork that shows my inheritance spent taking care of my folks, and in the end me being forced out of where I live, selling all my stuff (and it is just stuff), but hoping that what I sell is enough to sustain me at least for a while longer until something breaks open to allow more abundance to flow.

Getting into a zen state or a state of zero and rebooting is rough when all around you is chaotic and moving so quickly. There’s no way to put a hand up and command it all to stop and have it obey. Although we’re taught that with the faith of a mustard seed, that mountains shall level themselves or lift themselves from the ground to make a path for us. I am holding a space for such mountains to pick up and move.

So when you call me, if I seem snippy…you’ll know why. Moving after 4 years is a pain under normal circumstances. Not knowing where you are going to be next and where you and your loving dog can call home and feel safe except your car is challenging…but in the end, I shall overcome this as I have every other challenge thrown my way in this lifetime and I shall come out on top once again.

Because I am anointed! And I know that God has faith in me as I in he.

AMEN

Happy Monday to all.

Can you help me over the hump? 

A Social Media Challenge With a WIN-WIN

Okay, so for those of you following me, you know I am raising money to pay Mom’s bills off and looking to finish that fundraising off by 11AM tomorrow morning when she is buried at Arlington National Cemetery with my Father.

The total amount of the fundraising is $20,000.00. Right up to now, over the past month 50 people have contributed to this cause and helped raise just under $2,500.00. 

So here’s where the challenge comes in. There are many Social Media Gurus out there who claim they know their markets, have followers that do things at the drop of a hat when asked, etc…Now’s your chance to show the world what you have, who really knows their stuff, who has the most influence, and who can get people motivated quickly. In the end, if you’re successful getting your people to help you win this, your business will benefit far beyond the amount of this fundraising. I guarantee you that.

My Challenge to you is to get each of those followers to donate just $5.00 to this fundraising campaign, and in the comments section when they make their donation, mention referred by: (your name)

And the GURU with the most people donating once the goal has been reached or exceeded, I will post tweets and facebook postings, linkedIN postings, about your business and mention it in discussions with connections and such for the next 12 months time.

That’s the WIN for you and the WIN for me and actually the WIN for Mom so she can rest in peace knowing all is well here.

IS there ANYONE out there willing to accept that challenge? Do you think your followers will help you with this? After all, you’re asking them to give up their Starbucks for 1 day!!!! What do you think?

And of course if anyone has a celebrity friend who wants to do this all in one jump, the time is until 11AM EST tomorrow, by the time Mom’s on her way into the ground in Arlington, I want to honor her by having attained this goal.

Yes, people can donate ANONYMOUSLY as well, just in the comments mention REFERRED BY and put the name of the GURU who told you about this.

I know someone out there as 4000 people who can do this, I just want to see who will step up and do something for a great cause. My Mother at age 84 was physically, mentally, and financially abused where she was living. I moved her to safety, and she passed away within 3 months of that move. If she’d been able to speak for herself, and defend herself, she’d probably have killed the people who did the abuse because Italians liker her take crap from no one. I don’t desire to see or hear of ANYMORE abuse of Elderly, especially those widows of Veterans which My Mother was, and even behind the curtain of Alzheimer’s she was present, but not enough to speak out against this. Once this campaign is done, my life begins anew, but part of that anew will be for me to be a voice against the mistreatment of these treasures of our country and our world. They DESERVE BETTER.

In advance, I thank you, I appreciate you, and I ask for God to send blessings down from the heavens onto all of you and your families for all time.

Let the CHALLENGE BEGIN!!!

I will update progress as things happen on facebook & twitter as well.

Here’s the LINK which you need to send people to:  http://www.gofundme.com/burymom 

I look forward to seeing who has the most juice with their peeps.

Arrivederci Mama!! (farewell, till we meet again Mother)

Today...I am blessed. 

I have always been blessed, but today I am especially blessed by God and the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

I had the chance to spend some time with my Mother as she lay in her casket in the funeral home awaiting my Brother, his wife, and their two kids to come and pay their last respects to her.

I arrived early to the funeral home, after running some errands and getting my head in order, as well as crying my eyes out because of Celine Dion's music, especially the song from the Robin Williams Movie Bicentennial Man called "Then you look at me". I'm including the lyric below and God BLESS Celine and her amazing voice which resonates so purely through me. You have to see the movie to understand the impact.

My Mother has been locked behind the doors of Alzheimer's, a ruthless disease that ROBS people of their memories. Those cherished snapshots of this life that we all take in our heads hoping to go to our graves with them in our heads and yet this disease which is RAMPANT among those who have served our country, their spouses and yes even their entire families robs those memories from us so we forget who people are, where they are, what they were in our lives, and eventually it robs people of their abilities to control their bodies, to do things that we all take for granted and yet the amount of money spent on research to cure this disease is...lacking compared to others. 

An article written in 2013 stated the following which I find unconscionable:

"Alzheimer’s disease affects more than 5 million Americans. It’s the fifth leading cause of death in the United States overall, and care costs for Alzheimer’s patients exceed $200 billion. But somehow the government hasn’t made research into this disease a top priority."

To our elected officials, I say "Find a way to MAKE IT A PRIORITY" or we're going to find and elect others who will. Our beloved government is ok with spending billions on wars, and putting the real needs of our country on the back burner. I say it's time for a change.

When Seth Rogen, the actor went before the government and spoke on this, his appearance was slightly comical. Well, I am not laughing. I have lost 2 parents who both served this country with HONOR and DISTINCTION. My Father who served 3 tours in Vietnam, and my Mother who was his spouse for 56 years, 27 of those as a NAVY WIFE dedicated to raising a family, being there for Dad when he returned from War, and helping other families who lost their loved ones and never, ever asked for anything in return. This woman was a Saint in my book and Dad's for that matter, but yet this disease came out of nowhere and took her from us. MORE needs to be done to eliminate this disease from existence. More Veterans, their Spouses, their families have this than others. What does that tell me? Something that we're exposed to somewhere along the way during our "duty" is getting this into our bodies and it's robbing us of that which we deserve to keep, our memories, our intellect, our control over that which we do in our lives.

So Government...Laugh at Seth. Laugh at me and I am in your face more than you care to want me there. I am a Veteran of the US NAVY. I also served with HONOR & Distinction, and I intend to let the world know that Alzheimer's & Dementia need to be more of a priority for this NATION to lead the way to finding a cure, and this needs to be focused in on sooner than later.

As I said, this day I am blessed. I got to say farewell & I will see you later to my Mother. I am grateful that I took the time to do this after caring for her needs over these years after Dad's passing. I am honored to be her Son. I am honored to have had the opportunity to be of service to Mom, to Dad, and to others whose families wouldn't give them the time of day when all they wanted was someone to speak with, to share a story with, to be heard. I am blessed, and I thank GOD for this opportunity to share my thoughts, my words with each of you, especially those who may be embarking down a similar path with their loved ones. You are NOT alone. You ARE LOVED, and you have SUPPORT when you need it. Don't hesitate to reach out and ask for time, or for me to listen. I am here for you.

God bless you all, and may your day be as mine is, nothing short of amazing.

Farewell Mama!!! I will see you in heaven when it's time for me to join you and Daddy. Give him my love as well as yourself, and thank you again for the honor of being my Mother in this lifetime. I love you both always.

Your Son,

Michael

** For ANYONE who would like to donate to the Vincenza Murdock Memorial Fund, this money is being used to pay off Mom's final bills and expenses in this lifetime which were not covered by our wonderful government, please go to the following website, and this is legit, it's not a scam as I have no time for being dishonest to people, and Thank you in advance for your assistance:

This is a long road to reach the goal of this campaign. I wish someone like Seth Rogen, or Ellen DeGeneres, or another celebrity who perhaps has had a friend or relative afflicted with this disease to perhaps help, this campaign could end within an hour of them sharing and asking their followers to chip in. Even small donations help. Once this is reached, I can then wind all of Mom's affairs up, and begin a grieving process that I have been waiting to start since Dad passed away in May of 2013.

In advance, thank you very much for all of your support, and for those who have already donated, thank you as well and God Bless You All.


Then You Look At Me - Lyrics. Celine Dion Singer

Laugh and cry
Live and die
Life is a dream we are dreaming

Day by day
I find my way
Look for the song and the meaning

Then you look at me
And I always see
What I have been searching for
I'm lost as can be
Then you look at me
And I am not lost anymore

People run
Sun to sun
Caught in their lives ever flowing
Once begun
Life goes till it's gone
We have to go where it's going

Then you look at me
And I always see
What I have been searching for
I'm lost as can be
Then you look at me
And I am not lost anymore

And you say you see
When you look at me
The reason you love life so
Though lost I have been
I find love again
And life just keeps on running
And life just keeps on running
You look at me and life comes from you

From you

SalesGenie & Phone Number info products

The reason I mention SalesGenie is that over the past 3 months I have received between 15-20 calls each day of the week at all hours of the day and night from people using the SalesGenie product.

They're calling the Lake Forest Chamber of Commerce in Lake Forest, California but yet somehow they are getting my cellphone which is in the 480 area code of Scottsdale Arizona.

Now if this was 1-2 calls per year, that would be one thing, but...it's not. It's 15-20 calls per day and as early as 3am in the morning.

My Mother died at 3:24AM on the 17th of February 2015. The day before I'd received a call at 3am in the morning from someone asking if they'd reached the Lake Forest Chamber of Commerce. When I asked how they got my number they told me they were using this product called SALESGENIE and they had my number listed as the Lake Forest Chamber.

My number is registered with the National DO NOT CALL center so that I don't receive calls that are not solicited, but it appears someone out there at a particular company does not read that list.

If you're a victim of this type of abuse of your time, make sure you reach out to contact the Federal Trade Commission and file a complaint with them as I have. It's not legal to publish someone's number as these people have and it should be something that allows them to make retribution for.

Personally, I think they should pay the entire fundraising for my Mother's Funeral Expenses, PLUS some additional compensation for my lost sleep every night when people call me, but I think that will never happen as most of these companies never get penalized. I will say this, if they've gotten my number in there and it's directing people incorrectly, they've most probably gotten other numbers in there incorrectly and my best recommendation would be to NOT use their product and to use one of the other ones out there that has the right numbers in place.

For anyone looking for it, the correct number of the Lake Forest Chamber of Commerce is below:

Lake Forest Chamber of Commerce

22996 El Toro Rd #116
Lake Forest, CA 92630

info@lakeforestcachamber.com

Phone: (949) 583-9639
Fax: (949) 596-0410

Office Hours are generally from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. However, we're sometimes out in the community, so it doesn't hurt to call ahead before stopping by.
