Buy Local! Small Businesses Save Econom

3Everyone knows the economy is in pretty

bad shape right now. What you may not

know is how effective local businesses are

at fighting bad economies.

Local networks of people can save this nation, it's ba-sically the foundation of much this great country's history. Peo-ple working together inside of a community, sharing business,and getting to know their customers' needs and wants. Theseare the ingredients for a successful local economy, these arealso the ingredients for a successful national economy. Withmoney circulating locally, it moves faster and businessesgrow.

Small businesses are also proven to create and sus-tain a majority of the nation's jobs. The small business is oneof our fighting chances to strengthen our economy and sharethe wealth among those in your community.

According to usgov.info.about.com, small businesseswith fewer than five hundred employees provide the jobs forover half of the United States' workforce. Some recent figuresfrom the Small Business Administration state that small busi-nesses with fewer than 20 employees increased employmentby 853,074 between 2001 and 2002.

Small businesses create more than half of the privatenon-farm gross domestic product and 60-80% of the net newjobs. To push the point even further, in 2004 of the 5,683,700firms with employees, 5,666,600 were small firms. Therefore,small businesses not only create and maintain a majority ofjobs, but produce a majority of our domestic products.

Now comes the battle for employment. While famouslarge companies may employ a decent chunk of the UnitedStates' population, it's small locally owned operations that canhelp save the economy.

According to Stephan Goetz, professor of agriculturaland regional economics at Penn State and director of theNortheast Regional Center for Rural Development,

"Small, locally owned businesses and startups tend to gener-

ate higher incomes for people in a community than big, non-

local firms, which can actually depress local economies...

Local ownership matters in important ways, smaller, locally

owned businesses, it turns out, provide higher, long-term eco-

nomic growth."

The reasoning behind Goetz's argument is that sincethe larger companies send their money out of state and out-source for their needs, and the local economy. The seriouscompetition that the larger companies bring, combined withoutsourcing, the smaller companies are displaced and forcedto relocate or close shop.

While large businesses are more focused on devel-oping their infrastructure (including cost effective outsourcing),local businesses focus on improving innovation and productiv-ity and take advantage of other local businesses such as ac-counting and wholesalers.

The real lesson that Goetz hints at here, is that keep-ing money local and taking advantage of local resources, isthe key to a successful and healthy economy.

The Time Magazine article Buying Local: How ItBoosts the Economy by Judith Schwartz, also talks about theimportance of circulating money locally. Cited in the article,

The New Economics Foundation found that whenpeople buy produce at a local farmer's market instead of a su-permarket twice the money stayed in the community.

Basically meaning that the money spent is twice asefficient at keeping the local economy alive. NEF researcherDavid Boyle says it best, "Money is like blood. It needs tokeep moving around to keep the economy going,” he alsonoted that when it is spent non-locally “it flows out, like a

wound."

Buying local increases the circulation speed ofmoney in an area. The money passes through more hands,and much faster then it would in the hands of larger corpora-tions.

This article also notes, that with much of the nationchoosing to provide a service instead of producing goods,we're losing a foothold in the production industry. According toSusan Witt, Executive Director of the E.F. Schumacher Soci-ety, the higher cost of local goods can seem minimal whenyou consider the raise in local employment, the lowered envi-ronmental costs because of decreased shipping, and thatsmaller businesses can help us reclaim our production poten-tial.

Keeping our local economy strong not only increasesjobs, but keeps the money you spend inside of the community.While this is a talking point many people share, not many peo-ple understand howfast the money circu-lates when it's in thehands of the commu-nity, and in turn howmuch help this does.

There areso many benefits toshopping in yourlocal community, andmany of them havebeen touched uponhere in this article.But we're only justgetting started...

Become a Registered Nurse viaCNA and Patient Care TechnicianPCT Training Programs in theChicago Region

www.TTIMedicalSchool.com

Do you want to become a Nursein the growing healthcare industry andyou don't have a clear path to achieveyour goal?

Did you know that a Bachelorsof Science degree in nursing can cost upto $55,000 or more. Did you know thatyou can become a nurse at 1/10 of thiscost or about $5,500. There is a paththat can lead you to become a Regis-tered Nurse (RN) and here is the secretto your success. It's simple. CNA to PCTto RN. CNA nursing home position, thenPCT hospital position, then the hospitalwill pay you to work and to complete yournursing degree via their hospital benefitsprogram. Here are the 5 steps:

First, choose a healthcare train-ing school, that provides a great Nursevia Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)training program. Becoming a CertifiedNursing Assistant is the first and most im-portant step in reaching your goal to be-come a nurse.

This is because, for a low in-vestment cost in education, you can takeand pass the state CNA examination.This path will allow you to begin work in anursing home, assisted living or homehealth care environment. By taking andpassing this rigorous program you willlearn the basics of "compassionate care-giving" and you will see if this is truly yourlife ambition.

Jobs as a Certified Nursing As-sistant are plentiful. After you pass theState examination, you will apply to 6nursing homes in person and you willusually get 1-2 job offers. You can pickthe offer you prefer and jump into a fulltime CNA position with benefits. Com-pleting training and becoming a CNA islike the "boot camp" of healthcare. Youlearn the basics that you will never forgetas you move into other phases of yoursuccessful healthcare career.

Your next step is to take addi-tional classes to become a Nurse via Pa-tient Care Technician (PCT). PCTs learnphlebotomy skills, i.e. how to draw bloodand EKG skills i.e. working with the heartmonitoring systems. Becoming a Certi-

fied Phlebotomy Technician and a Certi-fied EKG Technician allows you to sit forthe national Certified Patient Care Tech-nician examination through the NationalHealth career Association. Our school,T.T.I. Medical Training, offers the theory,practical and clinical aspects to passthese examinations.

Once certified, and with someworking experience as a CNA, you cannow apply to get hired by a hospital.Your hourly wage will increase from $9-$11 hr. as a CNA to $15-$18 hr. as aPCT. Hospitals love to hire CNA's withsome nursing home experience to workas PCT's. As a Patient Care Technicianyou will have new and added responsibili-ties by providing more technical skills topatients.

You will be performing venipunc-ture and additional testing like: pulseoximetry, electrocardiograms and othertesting as ordered by the doctor. Com-passionate caregiving skills are still in-strumental and enhanced through moreexperience in the PCT position.

Finally, if you do a great job inyour Nurse via Patient Care Technicianposition i.e. coming to work on-time, pro-viding excellent patient care, working withyour healthcare team, you can inform thehospital that you wish to pursue a degreein nursing.

Believe it or not, the hospital willaccommodate your work schedule andpay your tuition. You may have to signan agreement that you are willing to workat the hospital for a specified time periodfor their education investment.

As former student, Kathy, toldme, "I love working at this hospital, Iwould never leave. They paid for my tu-ition and now I'm an Registered Nurse inthe acute ward!" If Kathy can do it, socan you.

Becoming a Nurse via CNA andPatient Care Technician training programis a unique and cost effective path toachieve your dream. Our school, T.T.I.Medical Training, has several former stu-dents take this secret path to their newfound success. Others plan to move intochallenging and rewarding careers as:Physicians Assistant (PA) or Nurse Prac-titioner (NP) or even Doctor of Medicine,M.D. Age and gender is not a factor asboth men and women of all ages cantake this path.

For more information about thisunique path from CNA to PCT to RN con-tact (773) 941-9000 or www.TTIMed-icalSchool.com for an immediate freeconsultation "so that you can begin toachieve all that you can believe!"

Although many people use Ash Wednesday as aguideline to start their gardening, it’s not too lateto start getting seeds planted for your garden. Inorder to get the most out of your garden during theactual growing season, you can give many plants amuch-needed head start by germinating and grow-ing seedlings indoors. Then when it warms up, youcan plant the sturdy, well-established seedlings tobear crops.

Planting ZonesThe USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the stan-

dard by which gardeners and growers can determine whichplants are most likely to thrive at a location. They are shownin a color coded manner in a lot of books, planting charts, andseed packages. For most uses, figure this area to be zone 5.Due to recent weather fluctuations you may be able to getaway with calling it zone 6, depending on what chart you’relooking at and what specifically you’re growing: whether flow-ering or fruit-bearing plants.

When to Sow Seed IndoorsStart your seeds 8 weeks before when the last frost

should be in your area, planting the seedlings outdoors about2 weeks after that date. If you don't feel confident about tim-ing, consult friends with green thumbs, college agriculturalprograms (such as Joliet Junior College’s Agricultural pro-gram), gardening (or seed) books, online sources, etc. JolietJunior College Agricultural program can be reached at (815)280-2276 or 2320, [email protected] or [email protected] orsearch for “agriculture” at jjc.edu and click on the first link.

Getting StartedYou can start seeds in egg cartons or old nursery

packs. You have to keep a close eye on the seeds to makesure they get don’t overcrowded once they start growing. Youalso need to monitor the soil to make sure that you don’twater it too much, or allow it dry out. If you do start them likethat, be prepared to transfer them as they outgrow the space.Otherwise, use containers at least three inches deep, withsmall holes for drainage. You can recycle small plastic con-tainers with drainage holes punched in the bottoms. Start withhydroponic medium or seed starting mixes available frommost grocery stores, nurseries, and garden centers.

Hydroponic mediums If you’re going to use hydroponics, start the seeds

in the medium, not in soil to avoid diseases and problems as-sociated with soil because hydroponics is a clean systemwhich helps to protect your plants from diseases. Sow seedson the medium, spacing as package directions indicate, thenpress them in. Plant seeds in rock wool cubes to avoid trans-planting seedlings later.

Seed Mixes Seed starting mixes are sterile and blended to be

light and porous so your fragile seedlings get both the mois-ture and oxygen they need to thrive. In a large container, witha light hand moisten seed mix to the consistency of a wrungout sponge. The goal in doing this is not to drench the mix nor

over mix it, whereby you remove the air from it. Fill containerswithin an inch to the top, and tap it on a flat surface to settle.Sow seeds according to package directions, marking whatyou planted, covering with soil afterwards. Using a spray bot-tle, gently mist the seeds you just planted.

Germinating and GrowingMany warm weather plants need 80 to 85 degree

temperatures to start growing. Put containers in a warm placewhere it can be warmed from the bottom, keeping soil moist,but not soggy. One such place would be the top of a waterheater or a south facing window (but keep away from drafts!)Depending on what you plant, it can be anywhere from 5 to20 days or more before germination. Avoid the temptation toput the germinating seeds anywhere where cold air might getto it, such as in the windowsill; any cold air will stunt theirgrowth, and possibly kill the plants before they start to germi-nate if the shock is too severe.

Check the seedlings for germination daily; whenyou see any sprouting, provide them with a strong lightsource such as a south-facing windowsill or a 48 inch ad-justable shop light, hung by a link style chain for easy adjust-ment. Hang the light keeping it a few inches above the top ofthe plants. If you opt for a windowsill, rotate the plants everyfew days to make sure they’re getting enough light. If yourseedlings are stringy looking, weak or pale, they’re not gettingenough light. With warm conditions (70 degrees or so),enough light and water, seedlings will grow rapidly. Make surenot to overwater the plants.

Cold FramesAn alternative to starting plants indoors is to build a

“cold frame,” which essentially is an insulated, bottomlessbox, built along a southern exposure, covered with glass,plastic sheeting, or clear fiberglass in such a way that you canadjust the covering to expose the plants to differing amountsof air to “harden” them to the weather. For more informationor instructions on how to build one of these, visitextension.missouri.edu or savvygardener.com and type in“cold frame”

Transplanting When seedlings are 2 to 3 inches tall and have sev-

eral sets of leaves, transplant them individual pots by gentlylifting them, roots and all from their starting container. Don’tworry too much if a leaf falls off, it can grow back. A brokenstem, however, more likely than not, will cause the plant todie. Fill new containers with pre-moistened mix (as above)and make a planting hole in the new soil in which to nestle theseedling into its new home a little deeper than it was origi-nally. Gently press the mix around the transplanted seedlingsand water them gently to settle the soil. Feed your plantsonce a week using a good liquid fertilizer. Continue to giveyour rapidly growing seedlings as much light as possible androtate them regularly so they grow evenly and don't lean inone direction. Some gardeners swear by having a fan blow onthe seedlings, saying it strengthens the stems to withstandwindy outdoor conditions. While it might not help in that way,it may help prevent mildew by speeding up evaporation from

Hardening your Plants In 3 or 4 weeks, it’s time to “harden off” or acclimate yourseedlings to outdoor conditions by exposing them to the ele-ments gradually. What this means is exposing them to outsideconditions incrementally, over the course of a week or 2 (ormaybe even a bit longer), depending on your patience, thetemperature and the fragility of your seedlings.

Day One: Put the seedlings outside on a mild day, protectedfrom direct sun for a few hours, just to give them a taste ofwhat’s to come. Day two through five: Increase sun exposuregradually, protecting them from cold and wind, gradually re-ducing water. Don't fertilize them until they are completelyhardened off. Over the next six to ten days: Lengthen the timeyour plants are outside, until they can stay out permanently,but protect them from high winds, sudden downpours, and /orfreezing temperatures.

TransplantingPlan to transplant into the garden in the late after-

noon or on a hazy or cloudy day to minimize the plant’sstress. Firm the soil around the plants and water well. Keepthe plants moist but not soggy. Mulch plants with a good thicklayer of compost, well-aged manure, straw, peat moss, orother organic material to discourage disease and weeds.

Container Gardening An alternative to gardening outside in a plot of land

is to garden in containers. The advantage to container gar-dening is that you don’t need a huge amount of space to get agood crop. What’s better is that you can arrange and re-arrange it from an aesthetic point of view.

According to containergardening411.com

• Containers can be grown where traditional gardens are notpossible including apartment balconies, indoors, windowboxes, rooftops, small courtyards, decks, patios, and wher-ever a backyard if not available.

• Container gardening allows people to bring part of natureinto their personal living spaces.

• Growing in containers also minimizes problems of plantpests and diseases, or at least makes these easier to control.

• Anyone can design and enjoy container gardening. It can bean ideal solution for people with physical limitations that pre-vent them from working down at ground level.

Almost any type of container (porous or nonporous) can be used for growing vegetables. Regardless ofthe type or size of container used it must drain adequately.Adding about 1 inch of coarse gravel in the bottom of the con-tainer will improve drainage. Drainage holes along the side ofthe container work best when located ¼ to ½ inch from thebottom. If you choose to use a terra cotta (or plastic potmolded like a terra cotta pot) with a hole in the bottom, make

sure to block the hole with something and place the pot on itssaucer.

The size of the container will vary according to thecrop selection and space available, however. For most veg-etable crops 5 gallon containers are the most suitable sizedfor vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant. Smallercontainer sizes (1-2 gallon) are appropriate for herbs, lettuce,and radishes. They are fairly easy to handle and provide ade-quate space for root growth.

Choosing what to plantAlmost anything that will grow in a garden will do

well in a container, including tomatoes, peppers, eggplant,green onions, beans, lettuce, squash, radishes and parsley.Pole beans and cucumbers also do well in this type of garden,but they do require consider¬ably more space because oftheir vining growth habit. When choosing plants varieties fromseeds, seedlings, make sure to note how much space theywill take.

Fertilization & Watering Fertilize container grown plants by preparing a nu-

trient solution and then pour it over the soil mix. There aremany good commercial fertilizer mixes available. Always fol-low label directions. Different plants require different amountsof water, but usually once per day is adequate. Check thesoil’s moisture before watering; give a plant too much waterand it’ll drown.

At least once a week, leach the unused fertilizer outof the soil mix by watering with tap water only. Add enoughwater to the container to cause free drainage from the bottom.This practice will flush harmful minerals out of the soil.

It’s also a good idea to occasionally water with a nu-trient solution containing minor elements. Use a water-solublefertilizer that contains iron, zinc, boron and manganese andfollow the label directions carefully.

Water-holding gels are becoming increasingly popu-lar in container gardening because they absorb 100 timestheir weight in water and slowly release it as it dries. To be ef-fective, they should be incorporated in the soil mix beforeplanting.

LightMost plants grow better in full sunlight. However,

many leafy plants can tolerate more shade than root crops.Fruit bearing plants, such as cucumbers, peppers, tomatoesand eggplant need the most sun of all. One major advantageto gardening in containers is that you can place the vegeta-bles in areas where they can receive the best possible grow-ing conditions.Sources

Practical Ways to Prevent Heart Disease: Stop Tobacco UseBy Cathy Johnson

8One of the ways to prevent heart disease is to eliminate tobacco.

Smoking & Health Problems

Smoking linked to numerous health problems.

Smoking causes many diseases and reduces the health of

smokers in general. According to the Office of the Surgeon

General, has been called "the leading preventable cause of

disease and deaths in the United States." According to the

November 14, 2008 Center for Disease Control’s Morbidity

and Mortality Weekly Report:

Cigarette smoking and exposure to tobacco

smoke are associated with premature death from chronic dis-

eases, economic losses to society, and a substantial burden

on the United States health-care system.

About one in five (1 in 5) deaths in America are

smoking related. It causes more deaths than HIV, illegal drug

use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides, and mur-

ders combined. 90% of lung disease deaths are caused by

smoking. (See graph for details. See Photo Credit for source).

Most of these deaths could have been prevented if people

stopped smoking and did not allow others to smoke around

them.

Smokeless tobacco

There are several types of smokeless tobacco available. The

most common types are:

Snuff. This is finely ground or shredded tobacco

leaves, available in dry or moist forms, packaged in tins or tea

bag-like pouches. Chewing tobacco. This consists of loose to-

bacco leaves that are sweetened and packaged in pouches.

Snus. (pronounced snoos) is a newer smokeless, spitless to-

bacco product that originated in Sweden which comes in a

pouch you can put in your mouth. Dissolvable tobacco comes

in candy-like pieces of compressed powdered tobacco which

dissolve in your mouth, sometimes called tobacco lozenges.

Plugs are tobacco compressed into the shape of a brick, and

twists are braided and twisted tobacco.

Addiction

Smoking and smokeless tobacco contains nico-

tine, which causes addiction. Nicotine is almost identical to

a neurotransmitter which directs and indirectly controls the

flow of more than 200 neuro-chemicals, the most important

being dopamine. Neurotransmitters are natural chemicals that

allow synapses, the spaces between different types of brain

cells, to “communicate” with one another.

Dopamine regulates movement, emotional re-

sponses, and reward driven behavior. Nicotine enhances

dopamine’s release, acts as a stimulant, activating the body's

fight or flight response, and hijacks the mind by creating

memories that are so vivid

that the person forgets life

without nicotine. According to

“Nicotine Addiction 101” on

whyquit.com “It's why getting

off of… [nicotine] is so diffi-

cult. It's why half of the smok-

ers we see each day will

eventually smoke themselves

to death. While their friends

and loved ones scream the

insanity of their continued

self-destruction, their brain…

scream[s] even louder that

continuing… [it] is as impor-

tant as life itself.” (whyquit.com/whyquit/linksaaddiction.html)

Cardiovascular Disease

According to the Center for Disease Control “Health

Effects of Cigarette Smoking,” Health and fact sheet, Tobacco

use is a major cause of heart disease, which is the leading

cause of death in the United States. It increases blood pres-

sure, the tendency for blood clots to form (thus putting you at

higher risk for heart attack and strokes), and recurring heart

disease and heart attack after bypass surgery. It accelerates

the hardening and narrowing process in your arteries. Ciga-

rette Smoking also deceases your ability to exercise and

stamina for exercise.

Smoking both decreases HDL, the “good” choles-

terol and increases the LDL, the “bad” cholesterol. Genetics

seem to play some factor too. When combined with a family

history of heart disease, smoking also seems to greatly in-

crease the risk. Age seems to be a factor too; if you’re

younger than 50, it increases your risk more than if you’re

older than 50. If you’re a woman who uses birth control and

smokes, it greatly increases their risk of heart disease, heart

attack and stroke. Smokeless tobacco also increases your

risk of heart disease.

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

Smoking increases the risk of Peripheral Arterial

Disease (PAD). PAD causes pain, achiness, fatigue, burning,

or discomfort in the muscles of your feet, calves, or thighs. At

first these symptoms usually appear during walking or exer-

cise and go away after several minutes of rest only when you

walk uphill, walk faster, or walk for longer distances, but as

time goes on, they develop more quickly and with less exer-

tion. Your legs or feet may feel numb when you are at rest

without having a pinched nerve. The legs also may feel cool

to the touch, and the skin may appear pale. In its latter stages

PAD may cause impotence, pain and foot/ leg cramps at

night, and ulcers that do not heal properly.

Respiratory Disease

Smokers not only increase risk of asthma, chronic

9bronchitis, emphysema, and lung cancer. Smoking worsens

asthma and counteracts asthma medication by worsening the

inflammation of the airways that the medicine tries to ease.

This is because smoke irritates the airways, causing them to

become swollen, narrow, and filled with sticky mucus.

Chronic bronchitis is a long-term inflammation of

the large airways, is characterized by coughing up phlegm/

mucus over a long period of time.

Emphysema is characterized by shortness of

breath, coughing, fatigue, sleep and heart problems, weight

loss, and depression affecting the lung’s air sacs.

Lung cancer is an abnormal, continual multiplying

of cells that can result in lumps, masses, or tumors in the res-

piratory system. Symptoms may include cough, constant

chest pain, shortness of pain, wheezing, recurring lung infec-

tions, amongst others. Smoking, including secondhand

smoke, is the leading cause of lung cancer.

Cancer

Smoking and smokeless tobacco may cause or

worsen the effects of the following cancers: Smoking is

strongly linked with stomach, bladder, kidney, cervix, and

prostate cancers. Both smoking and smokeless tobaccos are

found to be linked with pancreatic, throat and mouth cancers.

Smokeless tobacco in the form of snuff, when sniffed is linked

with nose cancer. You can find pictures online under “smoking

cancer pictures” and “chewing tobacco cancer pictures” to

give yourself a firsthand view of the damage it causes. It’s not

pretty!

Reproductive & Early Childhood effects

Smoking may also cause reproductive side effects.

One major side effect is decreased sexual response. Accord-

ing to “Female sexual dysfunction” on mayoclinic.com “Ciga-

rette smoking restricts blood flow throughout your body, and

less blood reaching your sexual organs means decreased

sexual arousal and orgasmic response.”

For males, decreased blood flow could mean impo-

tence. For women, decreased blood flow could mean infertility

or difficulties getting pregnant. Second hand smoke could

cause preterm deliveries, stillbirth, low birth weight, sudden

infant death syndrome (SIDS), or cause you or your children

to develop asthma or cause the condition to worsen.

Other Problems

Smoking causes lower bone density in post-

menopausal women and an increased risk of hip fractures. It

also increases risk of cataracts, and macular degeneration.

Also, smokers’ eyes are itchy and have a bloodshot appear-

ance. Smoking causes various mouth problems. Both smok-

ing and smokeless tobacco causes bad breath, gum sores

(ulcers), stains your teeth and gums, and increases your risk

of periodontal disease, causing cavities. If the damage gets

bad enough, it may cause your teeth to fall out. Smokeless to-

bacco causes precancerous mouth lesions (which may de-

velop into cancer). Smoking also affects your appearance:

smokers age prematurely.

Secondhand Smoke Dangers

According to the Mayo Clinic, second hand smoke

is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous than smoking

yourself. Many preventable deaths and health problems are

avoidable if you don’t let other smoke around you. Even if you

don’t think you are being exposed to large amounts of smoke

you still may experience: irritation of the eyes, nose, and

throat, coughing, excessive phlegm (mucus in the airways),

and chest discomfort or pain

Benefits of Stopping Tobacco Use

People who stop tobacco use can actually reverse

some of the damage that has been done to their bodies over

time such as: decreased risk of lung disease, heart disease,

cancer, reduced cigarette stains on fingers and teeth, hacking

cough, elimination of stale cigarettes smell on clothing and

hair, and improved sense of smell and taste

How to Quitting Tobacco Use

First of all you before quitting you should WANT to

quit. Wanting to quit is the first step in being successful in ac-

tually quitting. A person trying to quit must overcome two ob-

stacles: physical addition to nicotine & a habit. Physically, you

need to commit to eating properly, exercising, and getting

plenty of sleep. Mentally, you should be ready and relatively

stress-free.

Here are some tips on how to quit: Think about

why you want to quit. These reasons should be yours alone,

informed by medical, health consciousness, as well as family

and friends. Ask for support and encouragement from family,

friends, and colleagues. By getting other involved you in-

crease your chances of quitting for good. Join a smoking ces-

sation program, or other support group. Outside, neutral

support increases your chances of sticking with the program.

Consider nicotine replacement to help if your addic-

tion is severe. Choices include nicotine chewing gum, the

nicotine patch and nicotine inhaler or nasal spray (by pre-

scription only) Replace the activity with something else or

avoid activities that cause you to want to smoke or use

smokeless tobacco. Instead of having your “fix,” go to the

gym, go for a run, or do anything to distract yourself from

wanting it. As time goes on you may not want to use tobacco

at all.

To stop using any tobacco product, start by talking

to your doctor. Or talk to a counselor by calling 1-800-QUIT-

NOW (800-784-8669). Your doctor or counselor can guide

you in creating a quit plan and choosing nicotine replacement

products or medications to help ensure success.

Meaningful Conversation:

A farmer walked into an attorney’s office wanting to file for a di-vorce. The attorney asked, “May I help you?” The farmer said, “Yes, Iwant to get one of them divorces.” The attorney said, “Well, do youhave any grounds?” The farmer answered, “Yes, I got about 140acres.” The attorney said, “No, you don’t understand. Do you have acase?” The farmer said, “No, I don’t have a Case, but I have a JohnDeere.” The attorney said, “No, you still don’t understand. I mean doyou have a grudge?” The farmer said, “Yes, I’ve got a grudge andthat’s where I park the John Deere.” The attorney said, “No, I meando you have a suit?” The farmer said, “Yes sir, I got a suit. I wear it tochurch every Sunday.” The exasperated attorney said, “Well, doesyour wife beat you up?” The farmer said, “No sir, we both get up at4:30.” Finally the attorney says, “okay, let me put it this way. Whydo you want to get a divorce?” and the farmer says, “Well I can neverhave a meaningful conversation with her!”

12Missing Person: A wife went to the police station with her next-door neighbor to report that her husband wasmissing. The policeman asked her for a description. She said, “He’s 35 years old, 6 foot 4, haddark eyes, dark wavy hair, an athletic build, weighs 185 pounds, is soft-spoken, and is good tothe children.” The next-door neighbor protested, “Your husband is 5 foot 4 inches, chubby, bald,and is mean to your children.” The wife replied, “Yes, but who wants HIM back?”

I think someone’s gonna be in BIG trouble!:

A manager in a big company needed to contact one

of his employees about an urgent problem with one

of the main computers. He dialed the employee’s

home phone number and was greeted with a child’s

whispered voice on the first ring, “Hello?” “Is

your Daddy home?” the boss quickly asked. “Yes”,

whispered the small voice. “May I talk with him?” the

man asked, feeling somewhat put-off by this delay.

To the surprise of the boss, the small voice whis-

pered, “No.” Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss

asked, “Is your Mommy there?” “Yes”, came the an-

swer. “May I talk with her?” Again the small voice

whispered, “No.” “Son, is there any one there be-

sides you?” the boss impatiently asked the child.

“Yes”, whispered the child, “A policeman.” Wondering

what a cop would be doing at his employee’s home,

the boss asked, “May I speak with the policeman?”

“No, he’s busy”, whispered the child. “Busy doing

what?” asked the boss. “Talking to Daddy and

Mommy and the Fireman”, came the whispered answer.

Growing concerned and even worried as he heard

what sounded like a helicopter through the ear

piece on the phone the boss asked, “What is that

noise?” “A hello-coppper.”, answered the whisper-

ing voice. “What is going on there?” asked the boss,

now alarmed. In an awed voice the child answered,

“The police just landed the hello-copper!”

Alarmed, concerned and more than just a little

frustrated the boss asked, “Why are they there?”

After a muffled giggle, the young voice replied in a

very low whisper, “They’re looking for me!”

Rules for Work:1. Never give me work in the morn-ing. Always wait until 4:00 and thenbring it to me. The challenge of adeadline is always refreshing.

2. If it's really a rush job, run inand interrupt me every 10 minutesto inquire how it's going. Thathelps. Or even better, hover behindme, advising me at every keystroke.

3. Always leave without telling any-one where you're going. It gives mea chance to be creative when some-one asks where you are.

4. If my arms are full of papers,boxes, books, or supplies, don'topen the door for me. I need tolearn how to function as a para-plegic and opening doors with noarms is good training in case Ishould ever be injured and lose alluse of my limbs.

5. If you give me more than one jobto do, don't tell me which is thepriority. I am psychic.

6. Do your best to keep me late. Iadore the office and really havenowhere to go or anything to do. Ihave no life beyond work.

7. If a job I do pleases you, keep ita secret. If that gets out, it couldmean a promotion.

8. If you don't like my work, telleveryone. I like my name to be popu-lar in conversations. I was born tobe whipped.

9. If you have special instructionsfor a job, don't write them down. Infact, save them until the job is al-most done. No use confusing mewith useful information.

10. Never introduce me to the peo-ple you're with. I have no right toknow anything. In the corporatefood chain, I am plankton. When yourefer to them later, my shrewd de-ductions will identify them.

11. Be nice to me only when the jobI'm doing for you could reallychange your life and send you tomanager's hell.

12. Tell me all your little prob-lems. No one else has any and it'snice to know someone is less for-tunate. I especially like the storyabout having to pay so much tax onthe bonus check you received forbeing such a good manager.

13. Wait until my yearly review andTHEN tell me what my goals SHOULDhave been. Give me a mediocre per-formance rating with a cost of liv-ing increase. I'm not here for themoney anyway

Speed Limit:

Sitting on the side of the highwaywaiting to catch speeding drivers,a State Police Officer sees a carputtering along at 22 MPH. Hethinks to himself, “This driver isjust as dangerous as a speeder!” Sohe turns on his lights and pulls thedriver over. Approaching the car,he notices that there are five littleold ladies. Two in the front seatand three in the back seat, wide-eyed and white as ghosts. Thedriver, obviously confused says tohim, “Officer, I don’t understand,I was doing exactly the speedlimit! What seems to be the prob-lem?” “Ma’am,” the officer replies,“you weren’t speeding, but youshould know that driving slowerthan the speed limit can also be adanger to other drivers.” “Slowerthan the speed limit? No sir, I wasdoing the speed limit exactly...Twenty-two miles an hour!” theold woman says a bit proudly. TheState Police Officer, trying to con-tain a chuckle explains to her that“22" was the route number, notthe speed limit. A bit embar-rassed, the woman grinned andthanked the officer for pointingout her error. “But before I let yougo, Ma’am, I have to ask... Is every-one in this car OK? These womenseem awfully shaken and theyhaven’t muttered a single peepthis whole time,” the officer asks.“Oh they’ll be alright in a minuteOfficer. We just got off Route 119.”

Top Ten Things Only Women Understand:

10. Cats’/Dogs’ facial expressions.

9. The need for the same style of shoes in

different colors.

8. Why bean sprouts aren’t just weeds.

7. Fat clothes.

6. Taking a car trip without trying to beat

your best time.

5. The difference between beige, off-

white, and eggshell.

4. Cutting your bangs to make them

grow.

3. Eyelash curlers.

2. The inaccuracy of any bathroom scale

ever.
