Having Trouble Paying For Your Medicine?

Call 1-800-762-4636. Ask them for a free directory of Prescription Drug Patient Assistance Programs.......Woman's World.

Look for FREE HEALTH CARE SCREENINGS.....google "health fair or free screening plus your zip code. Thank you Woman's World.

Hospitals many times way over charge....ask for an itemized statement and check over what they are charging you. Then call the accounting office. I was overcharged last year and saved $20 for checking the bill.

Less on dental care.....check out www.nidcr.nih.gov. Pass this along to others also please.

Fruit

Be sure to buy some fresh fruit, I hope you can find fruit from a local farmer. Dip your strawberries in chocolate.

Set a lunch date with friends. See a movie. Go walking with friends. Enjoy your time with fruit.

Did You Know???

Any color of blue into your day will help relieve stress and help you to stay calmer. If you are like me and have no blue in your home, take a peek at the sky.

Pets help you lower your stress. If you are like me and can't have a pet where you live, visit a friend that has pets as much as possible.

Laugh and laugh more.

If you can bead or knit or paint.........something to keep you busy.......your stress will be lower.

Instead of taking things to the dump.....or tying to find someone to take it.......place outside for the day on your driveway.....today I had a nice chair that had stains but will be beautiful for someone that can recover themselves. Within one hour someone had come by and picked up the chair. No hauling away for me and a new chair for them with only spending a few dollars. I would have had the chair recovered but I did not need to spend the money.

Baking Soda Uses

Scatter baking soda over the grease fire.

Clean the dishwasher and coffeemaker by running an empty cycle with baking soda.....hummmm....I don't think I would use in the coffee pot.

For bug bites, sunburn or poison ivy make a paste with water.

Use baking soda to brush your pets teeth.

Use baking soda on icy sidewalks and driveways.

Add 1/4 cup to the toilet bowl.

Use around your pets food bowl if outside.

Soak your toothbrushes in soda. 1/2 cup baking powder and 1/4 cup water and let soak overnight.

Dandelions

Dandelions~~~~Those yellow flowers that pop up in your yard. Many people hate them and mow them down and they come right back up. Many people see Dandelions as a weed trying to destory their yard. I see Dandelions different. I see them as very strong and determined.......I see them as warriors trying to stay alive. I view them as bright happy faces in the flower world. What they look like to me is a flower that fights hard to keep going. They are mowed down but have the strength to keep pushing forward.

Like me, I am a dandelion and so are many people. We stay strong even when life has a way of falling down in mid-flight. When we have things come our way that cause heartache and stress.....loss....tears and frustration.....through JESUS we are able to fight the good fight and survive. That is what Dandelions do.......they are ripped up and mowed down yet they continue to come back with bright yellow faces.......ready to face another storm, they fight the big fight. I hope next time you see one in your yard you will take a moment and reflect their strength and determination. Through JESUS we can withstand the storms that come our way. Victoria
