SUPPORT YOUR UNITED STATES SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN
Did you know the military no longer accepts "Any Service Member"mail? That stinks, but there is no reason you can't do your part to help our country's armed forces. There are many reputable organizations ready and willing with the goal of providing a morale boost to our military.
When your in your home surrounded by those you love, when you are soaking in a refreshing sweet smelling, relaxing bubble bath, or eating whatever your heart desires at the moment and going to your bedroom at night for a safe, comfortable nights sleep, think about those trying to get a moments shut eye in a war torn country hoping no mortar falls during the night or no one sneaks in to cut their throats. They have no bubble bath, they're lucky to have clean water at all, they are fortunate to be able to heat their rations before eating them, and they taste nasty at best. So next time you're enjoying all the comforts that these fighting men and women over there are safeguarding for America remember them.
Below is a list of services provided by caring organizations and if these aren't enough you can go to this email address for even more to choose from. www.Army.mil/howyoucanhelp.
HERO MILES:
Donate frequent flier miles to military men and women who are undergoing treatment at a military or VA medical center due to injury sustained in Iraq or Afghanista. Learn more at http://www.fisherhouse.org/.
TAPS:
Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors provides comfort to anyone who has lost a military loved one, through comprehensive programs including crisis intrervention and peer-based emotional support. Visit: http://www.taps.org/.
HOMES FOR OUR TROOPS:
This nonprofit organization builds or renovates homes for severly wounded military members, free of charge and with special modifications as needed for particular disabilities.
Visit: http://www.homesforourtroops.org/.
GIFT CARDS FOR TROOPS. . . My personal favorite!
The Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) provides merchandise and services to militaty famailes and uses earnings to supplement Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) programs. Service members can buy anything with gift cards from baby clothes to Energy Star appliances with gift cards purchased through AAFES. Learn more at: http://www.aafes.com/
It sounds like they get lots of freebies doesn't it? Well think about what they have given up and sacrificed for us, for our freedoms. There is not enough in this world to compensate these brave men and women and their immediate families. PLease help, no amount is too small especially just sending letters and cards to let them know we appreciate their sacrifices.
GOD BLESS OUR MILITARY and GOD BLESS AMERICA.

25 SENSIBLE TIPS TO LIVE BY...
This is a list I have compiled over the years to make lifes chores easier. It's for women, or men keeping up their end at home... I've listed 12 today and will list the rest another Friday.
1.) Flies or bee's bothering you? Spray them with hair spray and watch them take a quick dive.
2.) Sealed envelope? Put it into the freezer for a few hours, then slide a knife under the flap. The envelope can even be resealed if your snooping. Hummm!
3.) Use an empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them neat and you can write on the roll what appliance the cord within belongs to.
4.) For icy doorsteps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put Dawn dishwashing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They absolutely won't freeze. Then in warmer weather add some water and wash the steps clean.
5.) Crayon marks on walls? Anyone with kids knows what a mess that can be! This works wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in Baking Soda. Crayon comes off with little effort.
6.) Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt BLUE!) Simply use rubbing alcohol on a paper towel.
7.) Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S. pads, I immediately take a pair of scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally figured out how to be more economical. Now a box of S.O.S. pads last me indefinitely. An unexpected plus I noticed is that the scissors get sharpened this way as well.
8.) Opening brand new jars can be a real pain in the drain, well, I found the answer. Instead of banging the jar of jam, pickles etc., with a knife until it loosens up, I simply reach into the drawer and pull out my handy dandy nutcracker. It adjusts to the size of the jar and I simply give it a good twist and off pops the lid.
9.) Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little peroxide on a clean cloth and proceed to wipe off all the blood. Works every time, then toss cloth in washer to get it clean too.
10.) Dirty windows, well then use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal on inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks. Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean, but don't wash windows on a sunny day. They will dry too quickly and streak terribly.
11.) Spray a bit of perfume on a lightbulb in any room to create a lovely scent in each room when the light is turned on. Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell freshly washed for weeks to come. Especially effective on lingerie. You can also do this with towels and linens.
Last for todays tips but not least, 13 more to come another Friday...
12.) Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3 hours prior to burning.
I hope these tips will help make your life easier and lot less stressful.

BRAIN TEASERS
These are pretty cool when one takes the time to read then and concentrate...
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle, even crazy glue?
Can fat people actually go skinny dipping?
Can you be a closet claustrophobic?
Why is the word abbreviation so long?
Is it possible to be totally partial?
What is another word for Thesaurus?
If a book about failure doesn't sell, is it a success?
If a funeral is at night, do folks drive with their light off?
When companies ship styrofoam, what do they pack it in?
If you are crossed eyed but have dyslexia, can you read alright?
If a stealth bomber crashes in a forrest will it make a sound?
If the cops arrest a mime do they still say he has the right to remain silent?
If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages?
When it rains why don't sheep shrink?
Should vegetarians eat animal crackers?
Do cemetary workers prefer the graveyard shift?
What do you do when you see an endangered animal that eats only endangered plants?
Do hungry crows have ravenous appetites?
Why is bra singular and panties plural?
If a mute swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap?
If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill hinmself, is it considerecd a hostage situation?
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow? Only to be troubled and insecure?
Is there another word for synonym?
Isn't it a bit unnerving that doictors call what they do "practice?"
When sign makers go on strike, is anything written on their signs?
Where do Forrest Rangers go to gat away from it all?
Why do they report power outages on TV?
----------------------------------------------------------------
To all our Veterans out there...
HAPPY 4th of JULY... And thanks to you all for our FREEDOM.
