YOUR OPINION COUNTS
You may have noticed that the Faces & Places options have changed a bit and I took off Resources for Wellness from the right hand side of the home page - at least temporarily. I need your help in determining what to keep on this site and what to let go (it takes a lot of time to keep this site updated and I want the information and articles to be useful and something folks will read!)
Please take a moment to answer the questions on the Opinion Form.
Thanks so much for your time in responding!

HOAXES
We all get them - those annoying emails telling us that the son of a deposed king needs our help in getting money into the states. Did you know that many of the emails floating around are also hoaxes? Like the Amber Alert one? There was one I received about 3 weeks ago about John Edwards. I checked it out - it wasn't true.
Before forwarding any of these emails, you should check one of the sites below or do what I do. I go to my search engine, type in some of the text from the email and then I type in the word "hoax." I usually get sent directly to one of the two websites listed below but it takes me directly to the correct lising.
