00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.799
about scams. I'm Joyce Petrowski. You can find more information

27
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.959
if you go to our website at Roseadvocacy dot org.

28
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.680
You'll find our social media channels at the top of

29
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.400
the homepage. Scroll down to the bottom you can see

30
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:54.159
where you sign up for our newsletters. We do one

31
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:56.079
at the beginning of the month that we send out

32
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.519
in the mail, and we also do one via email

33
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.319
that comes out at the beginning of the month, the

34
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.680
larger newsletter. But then every Tuesday morning, you're going to

35
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:10.280
get a Tuesday Tip. You might learn something new, it

36
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:15.560
might just reinforce what you already know. But the really

37
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:20.400
just as important thing about it is that it's reinforcing

38
00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:26.400
your scam prevention habits. It's helping you build that healthy skepticism.

39
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.919
Social media channels at the top of the page, click

40
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.759
on that YouTube and click subscribe to the YouTube channel,

41
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.800
so you get notified of any new videos we have

42
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.039
out there, and get notified of what's coming up on

43
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:45.400
the radio show each week. So today it's going to

44
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.960
be a short one. We're going to go over some

45
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:54.520
different settings. I'm going to share my screen, all right.

46
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.680
So the first one is we are going to go

47
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.680
over the cookies. So you know, you get on the

48
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.199
websites and it comes up and it says about managing

49
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:11.479
cookies or accepting all of them, or just accept, or

50
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.520
there's a reject button, or accept only necessary, a ton

51
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.039
of different ways, and that's where you can actually go in.

52
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.400
You can manage. You can look at the different cookies

53
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.080
that the company is tracking, you can read about them,

54
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.879
make a decision. But if you want to do it

55
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.039
for all third party cookies, these three dots here in

56
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:35.120
the top right of your screen is is what you're

57
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.280
going to do. So you click on that, you come

58
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.000
down and you're going to go to the last one.

59
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:46.080
It's settings, and over here on the right hand side,

60
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:55.000
you're going to go to privacy and security and looks

61
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.400
like I need to go to a safety check here

62
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.120
regarding some extensions and permissions, which I'll I'll do at

63
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.520
a later date. But here this is where you can

64
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:07.039
delete your browsing data. So a lot of times if

65
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:13.680
your Internet browsers not working right, it's slowing down, just

66
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:18.519
doing some stuff weird, you can go in here and

67
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:27.519
you can delete browsing history, cookies and cashed items, and

68
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.439
you can delete everything. You can delete the last twenty

69
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.519
four hours, the last hour, last fifteen minutes, and then

70
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:42.240
that might help your device run better. But then we

71
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.600
go down here third party cookies. You can see mine

72
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.759
it says third party cookies are blocked. But let's get

73
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:55.000
into it, and it might be by default that it's

74
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.279
going to allow third party cookies unless you go in

75
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.240
change it. So if you allow those thirty third party cookies,

76
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.560
websites can use the third party cookies to personalize content

77
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.639
and ads and learn about actions you take while you're

78
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:18.120
on their website. Some website features rely on that rely

79
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:22.439
on third party cookies. Should work as expected. But also

80
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:26.639
when you're in incognito mode, Chrome block sites from using

81
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.000
third party cookies. So there's a way to go in

82
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:35.639
incognito mode as well, so I have them blocked, and

83
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.759
so it's going to the websites cannot use third party

84
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.439
cookies to personalize contents and ads and learn about actions

85
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.639
that you take while you're on their site unless you

86
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:54.160
have allowed related sites to access them. So down here

87
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.439
at the bottom sites allowed to use third party cookies.

88
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.040
It affects any sites you have listed here. You would

89
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.480
have to add them, so this would be an exception

90
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.600
to blocking them up here. And in this instance you

91
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:15.439
have to add asterisks before the dome name creates the

92
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:19.920
exception for the entire domain, so that would be an

93
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:24.079
exception to it. But the websites can still use cookies

94
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:30.319
to see browsing activity on their own site, and site

95
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.519
features that rely on third party cookies may not work.

96
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.079
I could go in here and turn on to allow

97
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:44.240
related sites to see activity in the group, but it's

98
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.519
the company that's going to define a group of sites

99
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:51.399
that can use cookies to share your activity in the group.

100
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.279
You would just have to click here and that turns

101
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.319
it on. I'm going to turn it back off though.

102
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.800
I've got this one. It's an advanced send to do

103
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:08.000
not track request with your browsing traffic, and again there's

104
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.600
this little disclaimer. Sites use their discretion when responding to

105
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:20.399
this request, so that's a way too. Now you might

106
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:24.439
still have to manage cookies on the actual site itself,

107
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:34.000
because so let's go back to privacy guide you can.

108
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:41.800
That's just a tour there. Security. So this is I'm

109
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:45.959
on Google and so you can here's some safe browsing.

110
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:50.319
I have enhanced protection turned on, real time AI powered

111
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:54.879
protection against dangerous sites, downloads and extensions. That's based on

112
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:59.759
your browsing data getting sent to Google. So when this

113
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.720
is on, it warns you about dangerous sites, even ones

114
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.000
Google didn't know about before, by analyzing more data from

115
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.120
sites than the regular standard protection. You can choose to

116
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:14.600
skip Chrome. You can still choose to skip the warnings

117
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:16.759
and go to the site, but at least it's giving

118
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:21.120
you a warning. It does in depth scans for suspicious

119
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:25.120
downloads and when you're signed in, and protects you across

120
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:32.039
Google services. So it improves security, and there's some things

121
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:35.720
that they want you to consider. It sends the URLs

122
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.840
of sites you visit in a small sample of page content, downloads, extension,

123
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:44.080
activity and systems information to Google Safe Browsing to check

124
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.919
if they're harmful. So they are. It is sharing some

125
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.679
information with Google when you're signed in The data is

126
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:57.759
linked to your Google account to protect you, and it

127
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:02.000
doesn't noticeably slow down your braw or your device. If

128
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.279
you want to learn more about how Chrome keeps your

129
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:08.399
data private, you can click here. If you don't have

130
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:13.159
enhanced protection on, it'll be standard or no protection, which

131
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:17.879
is not recommended. So standard protection gives you some protection,

132
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.639
but the enhanced protection gives you even more for safe browsing.

133
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:26.559
This.

134
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:28.440
I don't know why I don't have it turned on,

135
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.639
but I'm going to turn it on now. Always use

136
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.279
secure connections. For sites that don't support secure connections, get

137
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.279
warned before visiting the site, so it warns you for

138
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:42.679
insecure public sites. And I'm going to click here, so

139
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:44.840
that was the default I'm going to click. I wanted

140
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:50.360
to warn me for insecure public and private sites if

141
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:56.519
they don't think it's a secure connection. There's some other

142
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.200
things down here. Advanced you'll warn you if password was

143
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.320
compromised in a data breach, So when you go to

144
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.360
put the password in, it'll come up and tell you

145
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.159
prompt you to change it, that it's been it's been

146
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.600
in a data breach. And I've got this turned on.

147
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.600
This DNS make it harder for people with access to

148
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:29.559
your Internet traffic to see which sites you visit, security keys, certificates.

149
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.440
I don't need to go into any of those down there.

150
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:34.840
So as you can see, there's a there's a ton

151
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.480
of stuff in here. If you have autofills and passwords,

152
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:43.200
you can go in here and it's going to list

153
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.360
them and you can verify it to you or remove

154
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:53.000
the account. You can change your autofill autofill settings down

155
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:58.000
here's your Google password manager, your Google wallet. So there's

156
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:02.240
a lot of different things you can do there. We

157
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:11.759
go back to if you want to look at extensions,

158
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.200
they're down here and look to see if you want

159
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:19.720
to delete any extensions. And if I go back up

160
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:22.320
to these three dots, so you can if you want

161
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:27.639
to search you remember the one let's see third party

162
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:34.399
was it under third party cookies? Is where it set it?

163
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:38.679
Or yeah? Right here allow related sites to see your

164
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:43.440
activity in the group. I have it turned off. But

165
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.919
if you are automatically in incognito mode, if that's how

166
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:51.159
you're browsing, you click on those three dots. You can

167
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.159
do a new tab, a new window, but you can

168
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:57.440
do a new incognito window. And when I pull that

169
00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:00.720
up you're going to get this you've gone in, and

170
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:05.039
that's a safer way to third party cookies are blocked.

171
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.879
It won't say Chrome won't save your browsing history, cookies

172
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.080
and other site data, and it won't save information entered

173
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.399
in forms, but your activity might still be visible to

174
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.960
websites you visit, your employer or school, and your internet

175
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.320
service provider. So it's just an added layer of security

176
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:27.360
if you want to go in cognito mode and then

177
00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:29.720
you can just type in a website and get there.

178
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.799
So that's it. On the cookies, I'm gonna stop sharing

179
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:42.000
my screen. There we go a couple other things I

180
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:45.600
wanted to just go over. I think we might have

181
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:49.399
mentioned this on the last week's show when Joan was

182
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:51.759
on towards the end, but I'm going to talk about

183
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:55.200
it again. A lot of us, when we have the

184
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:59.200
multi factor authentication code setup, we have it set up

185
00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:03.279
to be texted. It just might be easier for a

186
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.639
lot of us. And if you don't have your text

187
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:11.919
preview turned off, you're going to get you get your

188
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.519
notification of the text, and it usually has the first

189
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:19.399
couple lines of the text message would could very well

190
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:24.200
show your multi factor code on there, so you want

191
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.919
to make sure that you go in and turn that off.

192
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:33.039
Once you have it turned off, you are still going

193
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:35.120
to see the name of the person or the phone

194
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.720
number of the person or company that texted you, and

195
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.639
it'll say text message, but it's not going to show

196
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:47.639
a preview of the actual message itself. So if you

197
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.240
and I haven't done this in a little while, So

198
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:56.240
if you go into your settings and go down to apps,

199
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.519
and then I have an iPhone, so I'm doing this

200
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:04.879
from an iPhone an Android, you could just if you

201
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:08.759
wanted to do an Internet search to say how to

202
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:12.120
stop text message previews on Anandroid, then it'll give you

203
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:15.600
the instructions. But once you go into settings, you go

204
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:22.200
to apps, go to messages, and then go into I

205
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:28.519
think it's under notifications, yeah, under notifications, and then down

206
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:32.879
towards the bottom there's an area called lock screen appearance

207
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:38.639
and it says show previews. You could have the default

208
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:42.480
onmine is always show the preview, so you'd have to

209
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:46.159
go in and you could say when it's unlocked, So

210
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.039
when your phone's not locked, like maybe it's within that

211
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:54.519
ten fifteen thirty seconds whatever it is from when you've

212
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.039
used it, and a text message pops up if your

213
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:00.879
phone is in the unlocked position, and it'll show the

214
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.919
preview of it if you have it when unlocked. I

215
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.799
have never, So yes, it takes a little bit of

216
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:12.279
extra time seconds because I have to unlock my phone,

217
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:16.480
go into my text messages and read it in order

218
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:18.399
to get the number. But it is safer. You don't

219
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.320
want someone sitting there. You happen to go to the

220
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:23.200
bathroom and your phone's locked, and you think it's safe,

221
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:26.519
but then all of a sudden, they're trying to get

222
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.720
into one of your accounts and it pops up on

223
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.559
a text message preview and they can see your code.

224
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:41.600
The other thing that I wanted to go over was

225
00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:48.120
in your settings. If you go down to apps, you

226
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:51.519
can go down you can look at all your you

227
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:54.039
can manage your default apps on the iPhone, but you

228
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:57.519
can go down to every single app that you've downloaded,

229
00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:01.799
and you can look at the notifications. And I'm gonna

230
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:08.639
choose American Airlines. I just flew in yesterday, so I'm

231
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:11.519
choosing America in Airlines and the first one that comes

232
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:15.200
up is location, and I have never, so I don't

233
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:22.440
want I don't want my phone sharing my location with

234
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.120
the American Airlines app. Now I have choices, and I

235
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:31.919
have never chosen, but there's also always while using the

236
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:36.559
app or ask the next time or when I share it,

237
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:42.279
So there's different different things. And then contacts is the

238
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:47.080
next one down, So I have none. I don't want

239
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:51.960
American Airlines app to have access to my contacts. I

240
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:55.039
could say limited access, which means I'd have to go

241
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:58.559
in and select which contacts I want American Airlines to

242
00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:01.600
have access to, or I could say full access, meaning

243
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:05.960
they could have access to all every single contact that's

244
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:08.960
in my phone. There'sn't any reason why they need it,

245
00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:12.319
they just want it. And a lot of times when

246
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:14.759
you go to download an app, it will ask you

247
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:18.839
for these voluntary permissions, and I think a lot of us,

248
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:20.759
because we're in a hurry, we just say yes yes

249
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:24.160
to get the app downloaded, without even looking and reading

250
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:28.079
what permissions it's asking. So you can just go down

251
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:30.759
through there some other things that are on here, as

252
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:35.880
I could give it access to my camera, my Apple wallet,

253
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:43.599
my calendars. So there's just there's a lot of things now,

254
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:46.480
like on my calendar, I just tell it to add

255
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:49.240
an event, so like if I book a ticket, then

256
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.319
it'll automatically add it to my calendar. But you can

257
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.319
go down through you know, any of your any of

258
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.480
your other your other ones. And one of the ones

259
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:07.119
I was gonna get onto was it Googles Google Maps here.

260
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:10.799
So if I get into Google Maps, now, if I

261
00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:13.000
want to use Google Maps, they're gonna have to know

262
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.920
where my location is. And so I have that one

263
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:20.759
set to while I'm using the app, it can access

264
00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:25.079
my location, which makes sense because it's gonna want to

265
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.680
know where you're at in order to tell you how

266
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:32.839
to get someplace that you're looking for. It it was

267
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:35.920
asking for access to my photos, and I said, no,

268
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:42.079
let's see some other ones in here, Hilton Honors, here's

269
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:45.839
one that I have. Actually, that one I went into

270
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:52.200
and it doesn't doesn't ask for your location or your

271
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:58.160
contacts or anything like that. What about Instagram? So Instagram

272
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:01.160
you can give it access to your location, but I don't.

273
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:04.240
I have never wants access to your photos, and I

274
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.240
say none. Now, if you're it's going to have to

275
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:10.039
have access if you try to go to post a

276
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:16.799
photo you know, from your from your phone, and that

277
00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:22.559
could be the limited access which would be uh selected

278
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:31.000
photos and you've given it access to those photos. So anyways,

279
00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:33.079
I think you guys get the idea. Just go into

280
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.400
those and check out what permissions that you've given and

281
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.880
turn off those ones that aren't necessary. Not every single

282
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:44.599
app needs to know your location all the time, where

283
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:48.079
you're at. They don't need they don't need to have

284
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.400
access to your contacts, they don't need to have access

285
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:56.119
to your photos, and so turn them off. Or like

286
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:01.440
if it's on the Google Maps or a different map app,

287
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.880
it's going to need your location while you're using the

288
00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:07.599
app because it needs to know where you're at. So

289
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:10.680
just check those settings and and go in and and

290
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:14.000
and let's stop sharing everything about us with all these

291
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:18.680
different apps, and hopefully your friends and family talk to them,

292
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.599
because if you're in their contacts, you don't want them

293
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:26.279
sharing their contacts with those apps either and getting your

294
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:30.519
information that way. So that's all I have for today.

295
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.000
Told you it was going to be a short one.

296
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.240
Next week we're going to have a guest, Mary Doyle

297
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:43.200

298
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:46.160
to talk about in home non medical in home care

299
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:51.279
and if if it is regulated here in Arizona, how

300
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:57.599
that works, and some different questions to if you're searching

301
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:00.319
for a non medical in home care company, you know,

302
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.400
some different questions to ask when you're interviewing these companies,

303
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:08.640
and you know, do all of them accept veterans benefits?

304
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:14.319
Probably not, But anyways, Mary's is one of the many

305
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:16.079
