One of the ways people steal other’s identities is by searching through their trash. Think about it…credit card companies send you a bill…that bill has your account number on it. Social Security sends you award letters and notifications….all with your social security number on them. There are so many documents out there with information for these nasty thieves. You throw out a credit card….there’s your name, your credit card number, and the CVV code on the back, one uses often times when purchasing on the Internet or over the phone.
Let Fellows assist you with your Spring cleaning of all your documents. You can help protect yourself by shredding documents and even credit cards! Fellows has a shredder that does just that (I accidently put a credit card through my last shredder…I killed it 🙁 ).

Bananas contain three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes. But energy isn’t the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills – eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia : High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit’s ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a ‘cooling’ fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body’s water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack. Eat bananas to help with leg cramps and charlie horses.
Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

I am going to love this…I have a hard time making it back and forth from Twitter to Fb all the time checking on what’s been added to my walls. I think I may have solved the problem! Seesmic also has a destop app which contains more websites, however; I think I will stick to this to make sure I really like it before installing something bigger. However…if any of you happen to use the desktop app…would you please let me know your experience with it? If I get good feedback…I will give it a try 🙂
How this all came about…I had been seeing these emails come to my inbox…hadn’t read any of them from this Lois person. I just figured it was something I signed up for when I entered a giveaway. Well tonight, I decided I would open this one email and as I read it, it made no sense to me. So I went to the website to see what it was all about. This is when I found their web application and decided to try it, but not before checking out the website’s reviews. I found there to be good reviews, so I signed up, added the sites I wanted to connect with, and there was my wall on all three social networks right before my eyes. You can even respond to posts and tweets right from the dashboard.
Since I tend to have, what seems like a hundred browsers open with multiple tabs in each one (I really do have lots of browsers open at one time), I am going to launch a browser session with just this site. This way, it will be easy for me to locate on my taskbar. The one drawback I found was…I couldn’t read the print very well without my spectacles. To remedy this…using my keyboard, I held down ‘control’ and pressed the ‘+ (plus) key to enlarge the page (this happens to be one of my most favorite keyboard shortcuts!).
Enjoy and Happy Thursday,
