EASY 52 Week Savings Plan - DO IT

The trick is  . . . 

DON'T TOUCH IT!

LEAVE IT THERE!

Don't have a plan on spending it . . . 

It's a SAVINGS ACCOUNT

Let it stay to save.

And when you REALLY need it . . . 

it will be there!

When you DO need it . . . only use that amount!  Don't look at it as something to spend, but to SAVE.  If this is a concept you cannot understand - just try it and see!  What would you do if this money was not there in your savings?  You would find a way.  The point is, to SAVE!  You keep adding to it.  

If after one year, you can keep putting away $52.00 a month, keep doing that.  If you can put away more, then do that.  DON'T STOP!!  If you want to leave it in your savings account knowing it's available right now, then keep it there.  There will not be much of a return.  You could look for online savings account that will give you a better interest rate.  But probably only for the first year.  

When you get a good amount, you can invest it.  CD's are guaranteed.

Fidelity has been a company that has been very good at what they do.

We were NOT impressed with Prudential.  They did not give us much of a return and we had MUCH MORE invested with them and it did not pay off.  We got a GREAT return from Fidelity.  

Good luck!!

You Are the Help Until Help Arrives

How can I provide first care Until Help Arrives?

Life-threatening emergencies can happen fast and emergency responders aren’t always nearby. You may be able to save a life by taking simple actions immediately. You Are the Help Until Help Arrives.

5 Simple Steps That May Save a Life

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), trauma is the leading cause of death for Americans under age 45. Life-threatening injuries require immediate action to prevent an injured person from dying. Those nearest are best positioned to provide first care.

First care focuses on five essential actions:

Call 9-1-1

• Don’t assume someone else has already done so
• 911 operators are highly trained and will help you
• Let them coach you through the life-threatening situation

Stay Safe

• Assess the situation: pause and use all available senses
• Decide whether to stay and help, grab the injured and get to safety, or get yourself to safety

Stop the Bleeding

• Apply steady, firm pressure on the source of bleeding until first responders arrive
• If you can't control the bleeding with manual pressure, consider a tourniquet

Position the Injured

• Lay the injured on their side, legs slightly bent, with bottom hand reached outward and head resting near hand
• Raise the chin forward with mouth pointed downward

Provide Comfort

• Share names and ask basic questions
• Tell them what you know happened, but do not speculate
• Keep them warm and offer a hand to hold

Mental Confusion - A Must Read

This week we would like to share with you a recent post by Dr. Arnaldo Liechtenstein, general practitioner and professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of São Paulo. Dr. Liechtenstein practices medicine in a warm climate, but in these “dog days of summer” his message is very relevant even here up north.

Whenever I teach clinical medicine to students in the fourth year of medicine, I ask the following question: What are the most common causes of mental confusion in the elderly?

Some student offer: "Tumors in the head". I answer: No!

Others suggest: "Early symptoms of Alzheimer's". I answer again: No!

With each rejection of their answers, their responses dry up.

And they are even more open-mouthed when I mention that one of the most common causes is dehydration.


It may sound like a joke, but it isn't. People over 60 constantly stop feeling thirsty and consequently stop drinking fluids.

When no one is around to remind them to drink fluids, they dehydrate. Dehydration affects the entire body. It may cause abrupt mental confusion, a drop in blood pressure, increased heart palpitations, angina (chest pain), coma, and even death.

But there are more complications. Although they are dehydrated, they don't feel like drinking water, because their internal balance mechanisms are not working well. Although they may look healthy, the decline in metabolic functions can result in damage to their entire body.

So here are two recommendations:

1) Get into the habit of drinking liquids. Liquids include water, juices, teas, coconut water, milk, soups, and water-rich fruits, such as watermelon, melon, peaches and pineapple; orange and tangerine also work.

2) For family members: constantly offer fluids to people over 60. At the same time, observe them. If you realize that they are rejecting liquids and, from one day to the next, they are irritable, breathless, or display a lack of attention, these are almost certainly recurrent symptoms of dehydration.

Dehydration creates many of the same symptoms as the lower limb fluid pooling we often discuss on this blog. If a family member or friend is demonstrating symptoms of hypotension, and they do not have symptoms of fluid pooling, such as swollen ankles or legs, follow Dr. Liechtenstein’s advice, and consider the possibility of dehydration.

Ten Tips To Stay Safe - Written By A Police Officer

Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or a loved one's life. In daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation... This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, your children, & everyone you know. After reading these 10 crucial tips, forward them to someone you care about. It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.


1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,....... DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.
Toss it away from you... Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse.
AND RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy.. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.)... DON'T DO THIS!
The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your HEAD and tell you where to go.
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE..

If someone is in the car with a gun to your head
DO NOT DRIVE OFF....... Repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF!!!!
Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it.
As soon as the car crashes......BAIL OUT AND RUN!!!!
It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
A.) BE AWARE... look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor and in the back seat.
B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door.
Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side.. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
(And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN!
The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then,
it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!!!!
Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP!!!
It may get you raped or killed.
(Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next VICTIM).

9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last and because it was late and she thought it was weird..She called the police.
The police told her 'Whatever you do, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR!
The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a windrow and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, do not open the door.' He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby.. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.

10. Water scam!
If you wake up in the middle of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a burst pipe.....
DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE!
These people turn on all your outside taps full blast so that you will go out to investigate and then attack.

Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbors!

I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know.
It may save a life.
I was going to send this to the ladies only but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc.... You may want to pass it onto them.
Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or a loved one's life.

How To Survive A Fall Through Ice

He goes over a lot of good stuff - but the actual demonstration is at 6:39 on the video

Everyday Products You Probably Use The Wrong Way!

There were a few I never knew about!

1. You’ve probably been ignoring this feature.

 Most aluminum foil boxes have press-in tabs that secure the roll in place, so you don’t have worry about it flying out every time you rip off a sheet.

2. You’ve been dispensing Tic Tacs the hard way.

 You know how when you violently shake a container of Tic Tacs into your palm it seems as though you always end up with zero or seven? Avoid that altogether by letting a mint gently glide into the tiny lid crevice.

3. Forget to pack a spoon with that applesauce? No problem.

4. You’ve been storing peanut butter the wrong way.

 Never arm wrestle with a jar of peanut butter, just to make sure it’s not oily on top and crumby on the bottom, again. Store it upside down, so the oils distribute evenly.

5. You haven’t been using ketchup cups to their full potential.

 Instead of grabbing multiple cups of ketchup, simply pull apart at the edges for twice the space.

6. You’re probably using the wrong plunger.

 This is easily the most recognizable plunger. Chances are you have one lying around the house. BUT, did you know it’s only meant to be used on clogged sinks?

 To unclog a toilet, you need a flange plunger, which doesn’t have a flat bottom.

7. Chinese takeout containers are actually made to fold out into plates.

 The containers actually are meant to unfold into a makeshift plate, which you can easily reassemble into a box for storing leftovers. 

8. You’re brushing with too much toothpaste.

 You only need to use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste for effective cleaning. Most ads feature globs of toothpaste the size of the brush because a.) it looks nice and b.) it makes you use up more toothpaste

9. Greek yogurt containers are meant to be folded in half.

Chances are you’ve been scooping the toppings with your spoon onto the yogurt.

 But, have you realized, the topping holder folds over, so you can pour the toppings DIRECTLY ON TOP?

10. You’ve probably been placing toilet seat covers in the wrong direction.

 The flap is meant to be placed toward the front. This prevents the agony of sitting down on a toilet seat, only to realize you’ve dragged the cover down into the bowl.

11. Soda tabs double as straw holders.

 Turn the tab around so that it acts as holder that can stop the straw from raising out of the can as the soda fizzes.

12. There’s a foolproof way to keep your extension cords from coming undone.

 Plug the cords into a loop to avoid disconnection.

13. Pipe cleaners can be used to clean..ACTUAL PIPES.

 OK, sure, you can use them to make mess free crafts with your kids, but did you know you can also use them…

14. You’ve been serving juice boxes the wrong way.

 Pull the sides out so you child has something to grasp onto, stopping them from spilling.

15. Never break off more chocolate than you can chew again.

 To easily break off a single piece of Toblerone, pull toward the bar, not away from it.

16. You probably don’t realize it, but your pots come with built-in spoon rests.

 That hanging hole doubles as a spoon rest, in a pinch.

17. There’s a much easier way to floss.

 Tie floss into a loop and never strangle your fingers again.

18. Soft-drink lids can double as coasters.

Take the lid from the top of cup (or grab an extra) and use it as a perfectly sized coaster.
