<br />
<strong>Single Black Female</strong><br />
This has to be one of the best singles ads ever printed. It is reported to have been listed in the <strong>Atlanta Journal.</strong> <br />
Love the response this ad got!!<br />
<br />
SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me.... Call (404) 875-6420 and ask for Annie, I'll be waiting.....<br />

True, three of the islands are not on the mainland, but we all know friends who have said that vacations on any of the three are outstanding choices:<br />
<ul>
<li>Maui, Hawaii</li>
<li>Oahu, Hawaii</li>
<li>Island of Hawaii</li>
</ul>
But if you want to stay in the continental USA, there are 7 other islands designated as "Top 10 US Islands, According to TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice Awards":<br />
<ul>
<li>Key West, Florida</li>
<li>Mount Desert Island, Maine</li>
<li>Hilton Head, South Carolina</li>
<li>Amelia Island, Florida</li>
<li>Marco Island, Florida</li>
<li>Chincoteague Island, Virginia</li>
<li>Macinac Island, Michigan</li>
</ul>
<br />
Pick the area for your travel and have fun exploring the possibilities of an island vacation here at home.<br />

This Might Be Why.Tons of very nice people can create negative vibes without intending to do so. Hard to believe, I know, but we might have done these unconscious things ourselves. Here are some of our actions that might turn people off.<br />
<br />
Dr. Travis Bradberry, co-author of <strong>Emotional Intelligence 2.0</strong> and co-founder of TalentSmart, shares his research with us.<br />
<br />
He describes a study (UCLA) of "500 descriptions of people based on their perceived significance to likeability. The top-rated descriptors had nothing to do with being gregarious, intelligent, or attractive...Instead, the top descriptors were sincerity, transparency, and capable of understanding (another person)."<br />
<br />
He continues, "TalentSmart research data from more than a million people shows that people who possess these skills aren't just highly likeable; they outperform those who don't by a large margin."<br />
<br />
Dr.Travis Bradberry says these habits might be the culprits.<br />
<ul>
<li>Humble-Bragging</li>
<li>Being Too Serious</li>
<li>Not Asking Enough Questions</li>
<li>Emotional Highjacking</li>
<li>Whipping Out Your Phone</li>
<li>Name-Dropping</li>
<li>Gossiping</li>
<li>Having a Closed Mind</li>
<li>Sharing Too Much, Too Early</li>
<li>Sharing Too Much on Social Media</li>
</ul>
Hmmm...I'm thinking I see some I've done on this list. Sigh!<br />
<br />

That's right. If we want the benefits of increasing stamina, whole body strength, and endurance while sharpening reflexes, boosting eye-hand coordination, losing a little weight painlessly AND having fun with family and/or old or new friends at the same time, the go-to sport is pickleball.<br />
<br />
It started as a way for a family to lower the boredom factor for their children while on vacation. That was in the 1960's. Now it's a sport for all age groups, including the 80-year-old who beats some of us every time he walks onto the court. And then there are the six and seven-year-olds who learned to serve the ball after two times out with their grandparents. Plus, it is a growing middle-school extracurricular activity and has been added to the high-school phys. ed. curriculum in many schools. The USA Pickleball Association promotes the sport through its 1000+ volunteers who are ambassadors throughout the world; they recruit and teach all age groups to play<br />
<br />
If you've played tennis, handball, racquetball, table tennis or badminton, you have an advantage. But many of us have never played any sport and yet have learned because of so many willing people on the courts. Local YMCAs have added pickleball, and many municipal parks and recreation departments have converted tennis courts to pickleball across the country. Leslee Komaiko of the LA Times calls the sport "beginner friendly"("Pickleball: a little bit ping-pong, a little bit badminton, a lot of momentum," August 8, 2015).<br />
<br />
Interested? Start by yourself. There will be plenty of people waiting to help you. Or take a friend or family member. Children, tweens and teens, adults, and people in their 70s, 80s, 90s can play. Go to USAPA.org and search "Places to Play." For example there are 84 places and contact people listed for PA and many that aren't listed, like the Edinboro, PA, YMCA and Warren, PA, YMCA. Texas lists 121 places to play, and Kentucky has 20 although cities like Richmond aren't yet on the list. Florida has 320, and Ontario has 155. Canadian sites are listed by provinces, and international sites are listed in 10 countries. <a href="http://usapa.org/">places to play pickleball</a> <br />

<div class="action-menu ab_ctl">
<br />
Oh! And one more benefit- we need to do stretches before pickleball play so that we don't invite unnecessary injuries to muscles or joints. And best of all, the stretches increase flexibility AND we end up able to touch our toes again. Nice, right?<br />

A free online site called BookBub.com is a great source for titles and authors in the categories that interest you.<br />
<br />
The site doesn't sell books; instead it gives you a daily email of limited-time deals based on your preferences. The choices come from major publishers and widely-known authors. The prices range from free to a very small charge. One reader recently paid $1.99 for <strong>Prince of Tides</strong> by Pat Conroy. Once you choose the book you want, a list comes up of places for you to buy the book. You may choose to buy it on your kindle, your nook, your Apple ibook, or others. The prices are only available for a short time. <br />
<br />
How are theses low prices possible? Sites like BookBub.com contract with and receive offers from publishers who want to promote certain selections. BookBub decides whether the selection should be listed. If you have indicated that you like to read the category of book sent by a publisher, BookBub will email you that offer and others you might enjoy.<br />
<br />
To sign up, you give your email address and indicate the types of books you enjoy. For example, you might list fiction, biography, historical fiction, cooking, fashion and sports. There's no limit as to the types you check. It's easy to join and has become a go-to site for some of our readers already.<br />
<br />
Just click on <a href="http://www.bookbub.com/">www.BookBub.com</a> to get started.<br />
<br />

There might be a reason that the glass of wine at the end of the day looks appealing, but for teachers who teach and grade exams, the reasons are many. Fortunately, there are many serious students whose answers make life better for the teacher reading the responses of some students below.<br />

For those of us who color our hair, or those who don't but see gray in our eyebrows, there are solutions. One of our readers asked her colorist to also tint her brows, but she didn't feel the tinting really covered the gray. Another plucked that interloper out immediately, but then there's the worry that eyebrows will become very thin as a result of that overzealous approach.<br />
<br />
Here are 4 that one of our readers has tried and has deemed all 4 as effective and cost-conscious:<br />
<br />
These 3 are gels and come with a mascara-like want for easy use.<br />
<br />
1.) Revlon Brow Fantasy by Colorstay-Opinion? This does a good job of grooming brows. It also has a brow pencil on the other end in the same shade.<br />
<br />
2.) Maybelline Brow Drama- Opinion? Also a good choice. It covers grays well and sculpts nicely.<br />
<br />
3.) Rimmel Brow This Way-Opinion? A winner, too.<br />
<br />
The 4th has been tried by our reader and deemed effective.<br />
<br />
4.) Godefroy 28 Day Mascara Permanent Eyelash and Eyebrow Tint Kit-Opinion? Our reader will never try to do the eyelash tint even though the product has "no hydrogen peroxide or synthetic dyes" as listed on the packaging. BUT, this does a great job on brows, and it is both waterproof and non-fading for about 4 weeks. The application time is 2 minutes. It is $19.95 but it lasts for at least 6 applications or 6 months. It can be purchased on line by googling Godefroy 28 Day Mascara.<br />
<br />
Her final opinion? All 4 work better than any tinting she has done in the stylist's salon.<br />

You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay.

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks.<br /><br /> A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Two pairs of shoes are more than enough.. You almost never have strap problems in public You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color..

OK, we've had our morning coffee. It's time to face reality. Summer is almost a memory, and if we've been lucky, we've been able to spend time with those we love best, both at home and on vacation.<br />
<br />
So what now? It's time to think about one of our favorite topics again: VACATIONS ! Last summer we had some great advice on river cruises from Pam and Alan, Carol and Ray, and Ruthanne and Ted. Now let's consider other ways to enjoy getaways, both close to home and abroad.<br />
<br />
Our friend Terry has just returned from a trip to France, Italy, and Switzerland. On a tour? In a manner of speaking. Terry and friends booked a guided walking tour with <a href="http://www.northwestwalks.co/">www.northwestwalks.co</a>. Their hike covered 112 miles in 10 days. But wait! Before you scream, "Yikes, who can do that?" remember that the group hiked 12 miles a day with the following schedule: Hike/break/hike/lunch/hike/break/hike/dinner with ice-cold beer. Terry's advice? Add squats and lunges to your exercise routine for 6 months before the trip. That strengthens your legs for those inclines. Take your hiking sticks with you, too. A side benefit? Using those hiking sticks makes the hike more doable and also burns more calories at the same time. And best of all, enjoy the magnificent vistas all along the way.<br />
<br />
Would you rather walk this winter or spring instead of in the summer months? <a href="http://www.macsadventures.com/">www.macsadventures.com</a> offers walks in places like Southern Spain and Portugal as well as trips through the British Isles, their base of operations. You can explore the site by putting in your level of ability (Whew! There is an "easy" category.), the dates of interest, and other info that will aid in showing you their offerings.<br />
<br />

Many of us like to stay closer to home. If you would, consider this. Bob A. has just returned from a bike trip starting in Burlington,Vermont and ending in Quebec City. Bob was on a Sojourn tour. And they offer a number of different bike tours to various locations within the USA. The Sojourn tours are in Canada and the USA are ranked:Bob's was an "intermediate tour" covering an average of 55 miles per day. Bob felt the tour guides were very knowledgable, both from a historical standpoint and also about cycling tips. Starting on Sunday, the riders experienced some "rather easy flat ride days along Lake Champlain on lightly traveled roads and some scenic area as well as lots of very green pastures and farm land. Most breakfasts, a few lunches and several dinners were included in the trip fee. The tour ended in Quebec City, and on Thursday, we had a day off the bike and all of us participated in a Walking Tour of Quebec City with an interesting guide." On Thursday, Bob joined 4 others on he optional long ride: 85-90 miles." Since it was Bob's 16th tour, he was well able to finish, but he cautions that this option was "arduous." There are loads of US bike tours for all levels of riders so there's no need to shy away because of the challenges of his trip.<br />
<br />
Other tours? Walking? Camping? Kayaking? For families? For couples? For singles? Many tour companies serving the USA offer these. <a href="http://grandamericanadventures.com/tourtypes">http://grandamericanadventures.com/tourtypes</a> There are even tours for those of us who prefer to amble along at a slower pace. Now, that sounds great to me!<br />
<br />
<em><strong>(Our thanks to Terry and Bob A for sharing their amazing adventures.)</strong></em><br />

Sometimes we need to post information on the recent ploys by criminals to stop us on the highway. Sadly, we all need to be even more aware now. Careless drivers, inattentive drivers, and impaired travelers are already on our radar, but the three situations below definitely deserve our attention, no matter where we drive. This applies to drivers in all 50 states and is taken from a message by the Office of Attorney General: State of Michigan.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><u>Ploy I</u></span>: A child's car seat covered with a baby blanket is placed on the side of the highway-usually in a secluded area of the highway. Thieves hope you will stop. If you do, the consequences could range from robbery to physical assault to death. Instead of stopping, call 911 and tell the operator about the car seat. Do not stop and do not even slow down. The police will send someone to investigate.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><u>Ploy II</u></span>: Thieves will throw eggs at the windshield of a car, hoping the motorist will activate the wiper solution. That coats the windshield with a smear that can keep you from seeing virtually 100% of what's ahead. They wait for you to pull over so that you can clear the window. If it happens to you, don't try to use the wipers/wiper fluid. Drive carefully, but do not stop.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><u>Ploy III</u></span>: Many of us are already aware that thieves are using the unmarked car/flashing lights ploy to make drivers think they are being asked to pull over by a policeman. The rule is to never pull over for an unmarked car with lights flashing. Instead, the traveler should keep driving until he or she is able to pull in to a gas station or similar safe place. <span style="color: red;">But many of us aren't aware that we should use our cell phones to call 112. This number reaches a police dispatcher</span>. Tell the police dispatcher about the unmarked car with lights flashing and explain that you will not pull over until you find a safe place to do so. This emergency operator will check to find out if a valid unmarked police car is in the area. Most of us are unaware that police must respect the motorist's right to continue driving until a safe place like a gas station appears. The number 112 is a "direct link to state trooper information" and applies to every state.<br />

Sherry, Trish, and Jerra are taking a natural approach to increasing energy, combating weight, looking healthier, and lowering their bad cholesterol numbers. They retrieved the recipe for this morning detox drink from the website, <a href="http://thecrunchymoose.com/my-morning-detox-drink">http://thecrunchymoose.com/my-morning-detox-drink</a>. <br />
As with any approach to our health, a consultation with our family doc is the first step so that we aren't counteracting some meds that might be on our 'have to take' list. <br />
<br />
But one of our friends' sister has been using this detox for 2 years and swears by it. All three friends are reporting good results. As Sherry says, "From about 2 months' experience, I know it has reduced my appetite and made 'digestive issues' almost unknown. overall, I have felt better, perhaps a placebo effect, but good nonetheless. I drink it first thing in the morning-before breakfast and usually my most healthful meal of the day-and follow almost immediately with a banana to cleanse my palate"(email correspondence, April 14, 2015).<br />
<br />
As described in the website listed above, the detox is 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar, juice of one lemon, 1 tsp. cayenne pepper, 1 or 2 tbsp. honey, and 1/4 cup of water(more or less to suit your taste).<br />
<br />
The author of the CrunchyMoose website lists the benefits of each ingredient in the vinegar/ lemon detox drink: We list some quoted benefits below, and a review of the website address will fill us in on more detail.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://amzn.to/1hxHuIo">Apple Cider Vinegar</a> (acv) has lots of minerals, vitamins, and enzymes.. ACV is great for digestion. If you suffer from indigestion, don’t get commercial antacids. Drink acv daily instead. Here are some benefits of acv:<br />
Balances pH levels <br />
Lowers cholesterol.It’s pretty magical stuff <br />
Cleanses your system leaving your skin glowing and clear <br />
Gives you more energy. <br />
Reduces bloating and water weight <br />
Suppresses appetite (because it balances your pH levels and thus your glucose and insulin levels making you feel satisfied longer). <br />
Can help with muscle aches and pains <br />
Lemon Juice: Another acid and works very similar to acv. You can drink either one or mix both together. I mix them both together. <br />
<a href="http://amzn.to/NhA8gw">Cayenne Pepper</a>: Lots of good stuff in this little spice. <br />
Improves digestion <br />
Reduces bloating <br />
Increases blood circulation. <br />
Breaks up mucus and toxins in blocked and clogged arteries, making it great for heart health <br />
<a href="http://amzn.to/1k1VP16">Honey</a>: It is ideal that you use raw LOCAL honey. It will help tremendously with seasonal allergies. Since you are ingesting what you are reacting to from allergies, you are building an immunity. Raw honey has <a href="http://thecrunchymoose.com/2013/10/the-biotic-breakdown-pro-pre-and-antibiotics.html">probiotics</a> which are great for digestion.<br />
<br />
He explains, "I do not use all of those every morning. I typically do lemon and/or apple cider vinegar with cayenne pepper."<br />
<br />
<strong><em>(Our thanks to Sherry, Trish and Jerra for introducing us to this all-natural healthy alternative. Once we've run this by our family physician, it could be a real find for many of us. And of course, thanks to The Crunchy Moose website for providing such detailed info on the detox drink.)</em></strong> </div>

improve Your Golf Game," current thinking about improving your golf game, emphasizes "the functional movement required to execute the perfect swing, which is why yoga is increasingly appealing to golfers."<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Santas is the yoga trainer for numerous pros in golf, baseball, basketball, football, and hockey. He describes Spieth's movement in the Masters as exhibiting "optimal movement in two key areas that enhance swing power and fluid control while decreasing the risk of back and knee injuries: mid-back mobility and internal hip rotation...while maintaining a stable low back and integrated core strength as the foundation for expressing his swing mobility."</span><br />
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
</div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
Want the mobility to swing like Spieth and avoid the back and knee issues that commonly plague golfers? Santas recommends " Three yoga-based moves I use with my PGA clients to address the key areas of the swing." He points out that the moves will not only help your swing but will also help to alleviate or sidestep altogether problems with knees and back.</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Half child's pose with internal hip rotation</strong> <em>Trains internal hip rotation; stabilizes and lengthens lower back muscles; stretches upper back and shoulders; encourages ankle mobility.</em></li>
<li><strong>Sphinx</strong> <em>Promotes proper mid-back extension; strengthens shoulder girdle, opens front of shoulders and chest; lengthens low back.</em></li>
<li><strong>Twisting Chair</strong> <em>Promotes thoracic spine rotation and shoulder girdle function; stabilizes low back; activates glutes (primary muscles of the buttocks); encourages ankle mobility, strengthens adductors (groins), core and legs (Santas, April 23, 2015)</em></li>
</ul>
<br />

Many very famous people have compared golf to the state of the world, to government officials, to God, to profanity, to business rivals , and to a host of other life experiences. "The Gospel According to St. Titleist" will clue you in to all of these and more. Enjoy and share with your golfing friends!<br />

When we think of strong women, Eleanor Roosevelt's name pops into the minds of many of us. She said many things that we can remember and enjoy. <br />
<br />
She said, "A woman is like a teabag-you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water."<br />
<br />
And "I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall."<br />
<br />
All of us have had a moment of doubt about our abilities. Roosevelt commented, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."<br />
<br />
And for all of the grandmothers, mothers, aunts, godmothers, and friends of young families everywhere:<br />
<br />
"I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity<br />

We are always alert to dangers in the lives of the young people that we love.<br />
<br />
Now, so many of them have cells, ipads, kindles, nooks, other tablets and computer internet access. And apps are readily available to anyone using this technology.<br />
<br />
There are seven apps that you should be aware of and be concerned if you see them on your young person's technology device. Five are reviewed by Kim Komando, America's Digital Goddess. And two additional apps are reviewed by Stacia Naquin in "3 Apps Parents Should Find Out if Their Kids Are Using"(<strong>Arizona Republic</strong>, March 18, 2015)<br />
<br />
Basically, Komando lists 5 apps that could be dangerous for our young loved ones.<br />
<br />
1.) <strong>Snapchat</strong>: This app allows users to send and receive photos that disappear in 3 seconds. So the photos-no matter how risqué-seem safe because they disappear so quickly. But they aren't safe because another person can take a screenshot of the photo and save it in the 3 seconds before it's deleted. So a young person who posts a photo that he/she thinks will be private and destroyed quickly may find that photo posted somewhere else by someone who has taken that screenshot and saved it.<br />
<br />
2.) <strong> Tinder</strong>: No young person should be on this app. It is a location-based dating app. The user could come across predators, scammers, or other undesirable people.<br />
<br />
3.) <strong> Vine:</strong> This app is dangerous because of peer pressure. Komando says that the best way to be accepted here is to do something really outlandish. Komando points to a popular post in August that encouraged users to set themselves on fire.<br />
<br />
Komando's advice? "Keep track of kids' social media profiles. You'll know if they're running with the wrong Twitter or Vine crowd if you keep track of their presence on the website."<br />
<br />
4.) <strong>Whisper:</strong> This is an app that is designed to promote the spreading of rumors and secrets. It allows postings to be anonymous, and it can be shared with everyone who is geographically close to the posting person.<br />
<br />
Komando notes that apps with GPS tracking to bring users together can facilitate cyberbullying. She comments that "Cyberbullying from someone next door" can be especially hurtful to the victim.<br />
<br />
5.) <strong> 9Gag</strong>: All types of photos and pictures can be posted without any moderating for appropriate content. The content could come from users that you don't want your young people to be connected to, and the content itself could be objectionable, content that you don't want your loved one to see.<br />
<br />
Komando notes that cyberbullying occurs on 9Gag and that most "swatting" occurs on 9Gag. Swatting can mean to strike a sharp blow. But in internet terms, swatting can be a prank in which the user calls 911, trying to trick an armed response on someone's house.<br />
<br />
Naquin also lists Whisper plus two more: <strong>Yikyak</strong> and<strong> Kik</strong>.<br />
<br />
<strong>Yikyak</strong> functions as "a local bulletin board" for people in a geographic local. The danger? Naquin says "It has led to cyberbullying and teacher bashing in schools." How bad is it? " It has been banned by numerous colleges and has been removed from Google app store listings."<br />
<br />
Note: Many are offered free through other well-known app stores which could also be a problem for parents since children might be able to download them with no charge.<br />
<br />
Finally, <strong>Kik</strong> allows information to be shared with usernames only. So it seems safe because of anonymity. Because of complaints about "harassment and inappropriate content, the Kik company has installed tools "to prevent child exploitation. <br />
<br />
It is heartening that app developers may be taking steps to prevent the dangers listed above, but parents, grandparents, relatives and other concerned adults really need to check out the apps that their young people have been using.<br />

<br />
Those of us who spend much time in a doctor's office should appreciate this!<br />
<br />
Doesn't it seem more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line?<br />
<br />
Here's what happened to Kevin: <br />
<br />
Kevin walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he had. Kevin said: 'Shingles.' So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat. <br />
<br />
Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aide came out and asked Kevin what he had....<br />
<br />
Kevin said, 'Shingles.' So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Kevin to wait in the examining room. <br />
<br />
A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Kevin what he had. Kevin said, 'Shingles..' So the nurse gave Kevin a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Kevin to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor. <br />
<br />
An hour later the doctor came in and found Kevin sitting patiently in the nude and asked Kevin what he had. <br />
<br />
Kevin said, 'Shingles.' The doctor asked, 'Where?'<br />
<br />
Kevin said, 'Outside on the truck.'</td></tr>
