I bet you need to...

clean your keyboard every so often. I know I clean mine every once in awhile. The easiest way is to use a small paintbrush like the ones found in water color sets. It can easily get into the spaces and clean out the dust and junk.

LetterMeLater.com allows you to...

send emails to anyone you wish, with the ability to have them sent at any future date and time you choose. I went to http://www.lettermelater.com and was very impressed with what you get for free.

I was especially impressed with the fact you can have a group email category. That means, at least to me, I can sort out who gets what and when they get it.

If you live in the...

United States, you have undoubtedly heard about the Economic Stimulus package passed by Congress. If you are single and make $75,000 or more annually or if you are married and make more than $150,000 annually, you are left out in the cold. Sorry.

The rest of will be receiving a check for up to $600 (single) and up to $1200 (married) come May. At least that is the latest scuttle butt. The idea is for you and I to take our money and buy shoes, clothes and other consumer goods to spur the economy.

Think of it as recycling our own money. Regardless of what you do with your check, watch your mail box in May.

Crossloop is a freeware application...

that allows you secured access to someone else's computer provided they also have crossloop installed. You get access to the other computer's screen, mouse and keyboard.

When I first read about it, I thought oops, not for me. After a little investigation, I realized I could now help my son with his computer problems and not have to leave my home.

If you get requests for computer assistance, this free service makes sense. Go to:

http://www.crossloop.com

and look it over and decide for yourself. Click on their "about us" link for more details.

A short reminder...

to all subscribers. When I write about a product or a website, I have performed a modicum of due diligence on the product or website. You can rest assured I will never send you to a site so I can make a few bucks from a sleazy affiliate program. I don't work that way and never will.

Eight million women...

in the United States have heart disease. This is according to the American Heart Association in an article they published in their magazine Circulation in 2006. More up to date numbers are not available at this time.

According to researchers at...

Penn State saw children with coughs who received honey as the dosing device not only coughed less but slept better.

If you are like me, you are on...

medication. And, if you are like me, you enjoy an occasional beer or mixed drink. That can lead to a dangerous mix (no pun intended). So, to understand Alcohol-Medication Interactions, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism a part of the National Institutes of Health has a darned good page at:

http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/aa27.htm

This is very extensive information worth your time even if you aren't on medication or don't drink. You may know someone who fits the description and can point them to this page.


Until next issue,

Tom Koziol
