Tab Key
Do you often sign up for certain things online? You know, anything that requires you to choose a username and password or even fill in some of your personal information (name, address, phone number, etc.?) Well, when you're filling out those forms, do you have to use your mouse to go through most of it?
Well, today, I'm here to show you a little trick
that will change that forever. All you have to do is use the Tab key on
your keyboard. When you're filling out a form that asks for your name,
address, etc., you can use the Tab key to go from one line to the next.
For example, if you're done filling in your name, hit the Tab key and your
mouse cursor will automatically go down to the next line, which is probably
where your address goes. You can do that throughout the whole form!

Trivia
With the potential to fight infections, soothe pain, and ease autism, a sweet melody can be strong medicine. Traditional healers have used songs and drumming for centuries. "We're simply rediscovering what they always knew---that music, through its profound effect on mind and body, can be a potent way to help people get well," says Northridge music therapist Ron Borczon.
Quote of the Day
"Sooner or later we all discover that the important
moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations,
the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are
less prepossessing.
They come to the door of memory unannounced,
stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and
simply never leave. Our lives are measured
by these."
- Susan B. Anthony, Women's Rights Advocate
Right Choices Can Eliminate Problems by Sandy Karn
We can have all the abilities in the world, but if we don´t make the right choices, we´ll certainly fall short of our goals and cause ourselves more problems down the road. How much thought do you give to the choices you make? Are they wise? Are they smart? Are they related to sound self-esteem or based on fear?
What behaviors do you have that are driving your choices? I have found when I have fear of loss, I end up losing a lot of money, getting into less than perfect relationships and I suffer as a result of bad choices.
So, now, I take all my choices very seriously and I am the better for it. Now, I try my best to forward-think the consequences of my choices because I AM responsible for them. No one else is and if you think others are responsible for your choices, well think again.
Wishing You the Very Best!

Arguing
=-=-=-=-=
Two housewives were discussing their home lives over shopping. One said, "It seems like all Alfred and I do anymore is fight. I've been so upset over our last fight I've lost 20 pounds."
"Why don't you just leave him then?" asked her friend.
"Oh! Not yet." the first replied, "I'd like to
lose at least another 10 pounds."

A recent Cincinnati Enquirer headline read, "SMELL OF BAKED BREAD MAY BE HEALTH HAZARD." The article went on to describe the dangers of the smell of baking bread. The main danger, apparently, is that the organic components of this aroma may break down ozone (I'm not making this stuff up).
I was horrified. When are we going to do something about bread-induced global warming? Sure, we attack tobacco companies, but when is the government going to go after Big Bread?
Well, I've done a little research, and what I've discovered should make anyone think twice .....
1: More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread eaters.
2: Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.
3: In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever and influenza ravaged whole nations.
4: More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.
5: Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month!
6: Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low occurrence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease and osteoporosis.
7: Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat, actually begged for bread after only two days.
8: Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to harder items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter and even cold cuts.
9: Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.
10: Newborn babies can choke on bread.
11: Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.
12: Most American bread eaters are utterly unable
to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical
babbling.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In light of these frightening statistics, the Government has proposed the following bread restrictions to be added to the National Health Plan.:
1: No sale of bread to minors.
2: No advertising of bread within 1000 feet of a school.
3: A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread.
4: No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.
5: A $4.2 trillion fine on the three biggest bread manufacturers. Please pass this message on to everyone you know who cares about this crucial issue.
Remember: Think universally, act idiotically. Let me get this straight.
Obama's health care plan will be written by a
committee whose head says he doesn't understand it,
passed by a Congress that hasn't read it,
signed by a president who smokes,
funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his
taxes,
overseen by a surgeon general who is obese,
and financed by a country that is broke..
What could possibly go wrong? Ban Bread

"Cooking for the Empty Nest"
Recipe of the Week
Peanut butter cookies
2 1/2 cups (625 ml) sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
1/2 cup (125 ml) butter or margarine
1/2 cup (125 ml) vegetable shortening
1 cup (250 ml) sugar
1 cup (250 ml) firmly packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup (250 ml) peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together onto a piece of wax paper and set aside. Beat the butter and shortening in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the sugars and beat until fluffy. Beat the eggs in one at a time. Add the peanut butter and beat until blended. Add the flour mixture, about 1/3 at a time. Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours. Shape the dough into balls about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter and place on a lightly greased baking sheet, about 3 inches (8 cm) apart. Using the tines of a fork that has been dipped in flour, flatten the balls leaving a crisscross pattern on the cookies. Bake in a preheated 375F (190C) oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until slightly firm. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
Makes about 5 dozen cookies
