Judi’s Notes:According to the Georgian
calendar, March is the thirdmonth of the year. According tothe early Roman calendar, it wasthe first month and was calledMartius. The ancient Romans latermade Jan. 1 the beginning of theyear, and March became the thirdmonth on the calendar. March hasalways had 31 days. Its namehonors Mars, the Roman Godof War.
The winter ends with March, andthen comes spring. Spring in thenorthern half of the world beginswith March 19, 20, or 21. It’s theday when the sun is directly overthe equator. March can either feelwintry or springy, with as manyblustery, windy days as there aremild, sunny days.
In the northern hemisphere, theanimals end their hibernation andmany plants come to life again inMarch. The sap flows in the treesagain, and the buds begin to showup. Bears, woodchucks, andchipmunks leave their hibernatingspots. People begin to startlooking for the first robin, for thebeginning of spring arrival.
There are no national holidays inMarch, but there are importantstate and religious holidays

Are YOU a Pisces?!?!Pisces is a water sign along with
Cancer & Scorpio. Unlike theother two water signs, Pisces are alot more easy-going emotionally.They aren’t going to throw theirchampagne glasses at you in arage, or board up the door so youwon’t ever leave home, but theywill offer you a world ofexcitement. The Piscean has anatural way of connecting with allwhom they come in contact with.The Pisces will look at you acertain way and they will say theright things to make you feel goodabout yourself. They appear warm,caring, and friendly, while at thesame time their mind can be milesand miles away. Pisceans arebeautiful people who see allsituations from both sides,because in their eyes everythingright can still be wrong, andeverything wrong can still be rightand at the same time it’s all good.
To them the chauffeur is just asinteresting as the celebrity they arechauffeuring. It’s like two fishswimming in opposite directions.Hmm, that says something onwhy their symbol is two fishswimming in different directions.The Pisces seem to havedistinguished extra metaphysicaland super intuitive abilities &have a way of getting you to seethe truth from your own eyes nomatter how much it hurts. It issaid that Pisces people are similarto a sponge that uncontrollablyabsorbs everything, either good orbad, & that’s very painful for theirsoul. This may lead them intostates of depression, but they willdisguise their insecurities so wellthat many will lean on themwithout offering them a hand orasking them if they are okay &well since they are always sohappy. So, take care of your Piscesfriends & appreciate them for theirkindness.
Nerissa’s Corner:Infections with influenza viruses
occur every year, eithersporadically as local outbreaks or
as a widespread epidemic.Epidemics occur almost
exclusively during the wintermonths. Attack rates are high
among the elderly and children,especially those with chronic
medical conditions or chronicdiseases.
A unique feature of Influenzavirus is the frequency with which
antigenicity occur. Because ofthese alterations, variants of the
viruses develop to which thepopulation at risk has little or noresistance, which helps explain
why Influenza epidemicscontinue.
As we all know, prevention ofInfluenza is best accomplished byannual vaccination especially forthose who are at risk. Adjunctive
therapy for Influenza includesmeasures to provide symptomatic
relief.
Increase fluid intake, remain inbed for a couple of days, usecough medicines to relieve
coughs, and antifebrile medicineto reduce fever. If suspected ordiagnosed with Pneumonia,
antibiotics should beadministered. Precautions must beobserved to prevent the spread of
the virus. It spreads by aerosol
droplets expelled during coughingor sneezing. Covering the mouthwhen coughing or sneezing is soimportant to remember. Hand
washing and hand sanitizing mustbe observed at all times.
Environmental sanitation usingbleach and water is an effective
disinfectant (1/3 cup bleach in 1gallon of water) to surfaces, tile
floors, counters, sinks, and toilets.A mixture of 1 Tbsp bleach in 1gallon of water can be used for
food/mouth contact items, toys orstainless steel surfaces. Make sure
to use chemicals in well-ventilatedareas. Handle contaminatedmaterial as little as possible.
Again, observe hand washing andhand sanitizing at all times. And ifyou haven’t received a Flu vaccine,
it’s not too late. Get vaccinatednow.
