Thanksgiving is a time of giving and thanks!

We hope and pray everyone has a safe, wonderful Thanksgiving!

Homeless folks come in all shapes, sizes, age, ethic origin & Male 0r Female.   In these economical times we even read how we not only have record breaking numbers of homeless folks nationwide but homeless animals also!  Can you imagine the heartbreak of a pet owner, what is going through their head when the reality of having to leave behind their loving, sole mate, 4 legged pet when they themselves do not know even where they are going to end up.

The Following Article which is on the Hasting Group, feeding the homeless:

HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. – While the local communities continue to recover from Hurricane Sandy, the Project Share program was out at the Hastings Farmer’s Market Saturday to raise money for its 23rd Annual Thanksgiving Dinner for  the Homeless.

 

Since 1989, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving has meant a warm and wonderful turkey dinner  for some of the region’s homeless. The event is sponsored, paid for and hosted by Project Share and has grown from 125 guests in 1989 to more than 300 men, women and children from New York City and Westchester County each Thanksgiving.

The dinner is at Hastings High School, whose students volunteer as servers. It also features basketball, games, arts and crafts and a clown for entertainment.

Donors can seat a guest for $25 or a table of 10 guests for $250. Donations are made payable to Share the Project, Inc., and can be mailed to 161 Broadway, Hastings-on-Hudson, NY, 10706. The group also is taking donations to aid victims of Hurricane Sandy.

Contributions also may be made Saturday at the Hastings Farmers’ Market at the Village Hall parking lot or by visiting the Share the Project website at sharingtheproject.wordpress.com.

You just cannot get any better than this, we all, in every town, city, suburban area should be doing this very same thing!  It is a shame for us to be in the richest nation in the World and to have so so many homeless individuals, every age, race: Homelessness is NON discriminating…While politicians spent trillions of dollars in campaign money…Just think of the people that could be helped, the children that could go to bed at night without their stomachs hurting from the pain of emptiness!

 

 

Volunteer to help the homeless this Holiday Season.  Organization are always looking for volunteers, young &/or old.   Click here

Retailers Hope For Good Start on Black Friday

Retailers Hope For Good Start on Black Friday.  Christmas is Coming,  Hanukkah is coming, the Holiday Season is coming…Will you be ready?  The news is reporting that the sales are going to be  greater this year than last year but that frivolous items are NOT on the lists.  Useful things, I-Pods, I-Phones, Amazon’s Fire, are great items, very useful, and very practical.  Enjoy this season, be safe and happy!

There is much more included in the above story-read the entire story here to find out more!As in year’s past, with elbows sharpened and smartphones in hand, shoppers are getting primed for Black Friday, the most analyzed day of the retail year and the holiday season opener.

The good news for retailers: an early Thanksgiving means the season is longer with 33 shopping days.But the economy is still sluggish and Washington atmospherics have rattled consumers.

“Retailers are very concerned about the fiscal cliff situation,”said Ellen Davis, vice-president of the National Retail Federation. “In a recent survey, 72 percent of consumers say they were changing their shopping pattern as a result of the uncertainty of the situation.”

Also dampening the forecast is super-storm Sandy. By one estimate, nearly 5 million households in its path will have to curb spending this year.

To counter, the retailers are going all in, already offering discounts. And like last year, some stores will start opening on thanksgiving at midnight, with Wal-mart, Target, Sears and Toys ‘R Us opening even earlier in a fierce competition to get the very first shoppers.

Fun Medical Alert Bracelets For Kids & Young Adults.

“Boys will be boys”,  ”Kids are Cruel”,  Is this the reason for Bullies or is this the excuse?  Kids today with medical issues need things like medical alert bracelets without the fear:  ”I am not going to wear that stupid bracelet”, Or  ”They will make fun of me” Is this your son &/or daughter?

Football year around for your bracelet!

Italian Charms used for Medical Alert Bracelets for Kids can be practical, fun  and fashionable while serving a great importance & peace of mind for loved ones.  Medical alert bracelets save lives by saving seconds and minutes in an acute life- death situation!  Anyone that has a severe allergy or medical condition and are not responding nor cannot speak a medical alert bracelet can give the EMT’s (Emergency Medical Technician)  those few Seconds that may save the individual’s life whether this person is 60 or 6 years old.

The Following Article which is on the NYtimes:  Campaign Tries to Help Defuse Bullying

By 

While some dismiss bullying as a nearly universal but fleeting experience, Ms. Thomas says the Internet has made the problem worse.

“This is not the old ‘Boys will be boys,’ ” she said. “This has gotten vicious and lethal. I’ve talked to children who dread coming to school, who want to change schools or be home schooled. It is dire now because it’s online. People are anonymous and they say awful things and are not held accountable.”

Having been introduced by Timothy Armstrong, AOL’s chief executive, Ms. Thomas joined with Ms. Conlon in early 2011. Ms. Conlon said the Ad Council had long wanted to tackle bullying but needed to cover the production and distribution costs, which average $800,000 to $1 million per campaign.

The Ad Council got support from the pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson and pro bono help from the New York ad agency DDB, part of the Omnicom Group.

There is much more included in the above story-read the entire story here to find out more!

Italian Charms make the greatest Medical Alert Bracelets for kids especially!  The reason for this high regards is that because of the accessibility  to adding different charms, boys can pick their favorite football, baseball, or hockey team, while girls could choose Justin Bieber Photo Charm,  Disney Princess or if they are a horse lover.  It goes on and on the choices that are available.

Kids Need help to stand up to bullies!   Medical issues are NOT any fun for anyone of any age!  Age however is NOT always the answer to acceptance or coping with it!   The bottom line is that Medical Alert Bracelets that are put together using Italian Charms, just help to make it go a bit easier.

  • Easy to adjust size
  • Can put additional charms on the bracelet; Example like pictured above with Lucy, football & Charlie Brown dangling.  (This one will work for boys & girls
  • Durable
  • 100% Stainless Steel, no tin, nickel.   Bracelets which are NOT 100% Stainless Steel tend to turn the skin green under the bracelet.

You cannot go wrong with this choice of an Italian Charm Bracelet for a Medical Alert Bracelet!  We have had numerous parents contact us after they have received their bracelets, thanking us, commenting on how their Son &/or Daughter is Wearing their bracelet, how other kids think they are “cool” and on and on!

Please also note:  Click here to read about our Pay It Forward program, AddALinkOfCharm gives away 4 bracelets a month to folks who cannot afford a Medical Alert Bracelet!

Medical Alert Bracelets save lives!  We are always looking for sponsors to donate funds to help us in our goals and folks who need a bracelet!  Can you help?  Do you need a Medical Alert Bracelet?  Sign up by clicking here:

Russell Dohner, Illinois Doctor, Charges Patients $5 For Entire Physician Visit

Pin Me you know you want too!

Back to school, back to work gearing down for the coming Months!  Yes the elections are only two months away and are you sick of the publicity already or are you looking for more?  We are living in very uneasy times and we need to pull together!  Government needs to be seen and not heard as my father use to say!  There comes a time when government involvement is good and then not so good!  I was speaking to a group the other night and the question on everyone’s mind was “Who are you favoring in this years election”?  There was one  gentleman in the crowd who seems to get it and understand where the problems are…..”What are the most expensive programs in the United States”?  he asked, no one could answer this question.  He said government programs was the answer.  Medical programs and insurance as long as it remained in government’s hands it will always continue to drain the funds helping to make the deficit even larger.   “It needs to become back in the patients hands and control.  This way folks would be able to DECIDE what procedures they were willing to have because they may or not be able to afford one procedure over another.  This was needing to become the first consideration in deciding whether the procedure needed to be done or not.  It was  not already decided for  because of what was paid for and what was not.   Insurance companies, need to pay the patient for services rendered and the patients need to be responsible to pay their Doctors, hospitals etc.  With this thought everyone just sat in awe listening with intense focus.  ”It use to be what my insurance did years ago, when I had something done, a procedure, or test, the insurance company sent me the check, then I paid for the service.”

Is this the secret?  Does control need to come back to the folks  control?  Will Medical costs come down a bit, or??

Russell Dohner, Illinois Doctor, Charges Patients $5 For Entire Physician Visit.

 

While the rest of the country awaits the Supreme Court’s decision on the Affordable Care Act and the future of health care costs, the residents of Rushville, Ill., are less worried about the cost of a visit to the doctor.

Russell Dohner, the town’s doctor since 1955, charges his patients just $5 – not for a co-pay but for the entire cost of a physician’s visit, according to KSDK News. The low price isn’t the only thing at Dohner’s office that’s remained constant for decades. The office hasn’t been remodeled, nurses haven’t been replaced and staff members haven’t ditched their old-school method of writing medical records on index cards in favor of more modern technology.

Considered a local hero, the 87-year-old Dohner keeps his clinic open seven days a week. In 57 years of practicing medicine, he’s never taken a vacation, KSDK News reports.

The $5 physician visit charge has been in place since the 1970s. Before that, he charged $2 per visit.

Lori McCoy Which is on huffingtonpost.com Website She is the Author of Mother’s Day: 5 Tech Gifts Mom Will Love.

Thinking about the best tech gifts for Mother’s Day? All right. Let’s just get it out of the way and start with the obvious: The new iPad. Yes, I could have left it off the list but I figured if it’s something I’d really like to have myself — I’m telling you about it.

What’s not to love with its retina display, clarity, and the fact that it now takes photos! I have an original iPad and I love it — but yeah, I would love the new iPad even more. And this time I’d splurge for the 4G. I didn’t get the 3G option on mine and while its useful as is, having 4G would make it the best tool in my bag while. If I had 4G, I could even file these blog posts from the soccer field! The ability to connect anywhere adds far more value than I realized when I purchased mine sans the 3G.

The new iPad also comes with free shipping and engraving — but if you have it engraved you might want to make sure that its really what Mom wants! This will be a pricey option starting at $499, 4G bumps it up to $629 and remember that a data pack is required with the 4G.

A tip if you go that route — let MOM be the person pushing the buttons when she is learning. If you take her computer or device and punch all the buttons yourself, I promise you she won’t learn and thing and she won’t use them. But if you truly take the time to show her and let her do the work, she will think of you fondly every time she uses that app, whatever it may be!

Stories like this is the sign of the times.  There is much more included in the above story-read the entire story here to find out more!

Just more than anything else gift or no gift make sure your Mother knows that she is loved and appreciated for all the things that she does!  Do not take her for granite in the least!  Eggs are inexpensive, cooking breakfast and serving her breakfast in bed with a piece of toast,  glass of Orange Juice, Cup of Coffee and a Bright cheerful  flower .will make her very happy!  Do not forget the simple things in live that do not do.

Do not forget … Our Military & Their Families This Memorial Day!

Do not forget … Our Military & Their Families This Memorial Day!  What is Memorial Day to most of Americans?  Is it hamburgers, hotdogs, barbecues, concerts, sales or…What does it Mean to you?  I was at the store yesterday the parking lots were full.  This was not just at one store it was at all three major supermarket stores here in Ellensburg, WA.  I thought to myself “oh.. families and groups were getting together to celebrate this wonderful thought-filled holiday.”  Oh I was stupid! I have either been living in a small town for too long or getting too old!  They were kids from all over  including Canada packing up their cars and ice chests with food,  beer, wine and ice for the great “Concert at the Gorge”,  Referred as: Sasquatch! Music Festival 2012.

Have you ever been to the Gorge in George, Washington?  Well here is a link to the Gorge’s Web site:  Click Here

“The Gorge is an Amphitheatre that sits above the Columbia River Gorge in George, Washington. It can hold 20,000 concert-goers is known for its spacious lawn-seating and breath-taking views of the river. In 2004, Glide Magazine named The Gorge the top outdoor venue in the United States. It has on-site camping and the area’s summer weather is generally perfect outdoor concert weather.” Click Here for More Information:

Gorge Amphitheatre Sasquatch Festival

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are apparently over 150 different bands and comedy acts going to participate in the venue!  Maybe the kids of today will celebrate their freedom this way.  Hopefully they understand the sacrifices that have been made to kids their own age, families and service folks who have fought for their freedom enabling them this choice or NOT!

Memorial Day sometimes gets forgotten however this year it seems to be remembered more.  Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.   If we did not have the wars, so many folks would not have been so touched by the memories of death and sacrifice.

If you are enjoying the friendship of family and friends at picnics, parades, camping or at the concert please just stop On Memorial Day and Remember to be thankful for the Peace and Freedom we have, how we got it & the sacrifices that were made for us to have it!

We have many customers who cherish their Military ties by celebrating and remembering by the Military Italian Charms on their bracelets.  Italian charm bracelets are a great way of remembering a loved one, a holiday, a birth, a special time.  Anything that brings you a memory is cherished on a Italian Charm Bracelet!  Take a look at some of the Military themed Italian Charms that we have at this link!

These work great for Briefcases, lap tops and ???

Purse hangers or bag hangers work for both Men & Women.  Have you ever used a restroom with a purse, lap top case, briefcase in your hand and no place to hang it?  You look at the floor, no hangers and you have only two choices, either place it on the floor or hold on to it with your teeth.

Well Purse Hangers, bag hangers give you choices.  Hang your articles on a hook, off of the floor!  This way you are not carrying with you all different kinds of bacteria that you could carry home to your family!  These also are very nice gifts for office parties, secret Santa parties or even wedding gifts for your guests!

Mothers Day Sale Do NOT Forget Mom!

Mothers Day Sale… Do NOT Forget Mom!      This day is coming fast! Needing that special thought-filled gift? In this economy even with money so tight you still need the joy and satisfaction of giving! Without this we are lost! AddALinkOfCharm takes great pride in offering top notch items for min cost! We are Offering a 25% off sale for Mother’s Day, this will be good through May 13, 2012!
Our Customer pool stands over 8,200! We are proud to say we treat everyone like you are our very first customer! We offer a wonderful selection of Italian Charms that would fit pretty much every theme you can imagine. Mother’s Day  is for Mother’s & Family to share with each other the love that each shares with a special consideration & blessing “For Mom”!

So why not get her an Italian Charm Bracelet or Pandora Style Bracelet. You see the commercials on TV regarding the Pandora Bracelet and how it can tell a story of your memories and life! Well the Italian Charms have done this for the last 15 years and they continue to give smiles and love every day!
Our Pandora style jewelry is 100% compatible with Pandora bracelets and charms. Please bear with the idea that when Pandora first arrived on the fashion scene, jewelry manufactures were working diligently to mimic the same bracelet for at least half of the cost. Unfortunately they did NOT do a good job, the charms, beads did not interchange with the Pandora line. Needless to say compatible jewelry to Pandora got a bad name! Folks would purchase the Pandora bracelet. After finding out that the charms & beads that went with them started at around $60.00 – $600.00 for one charm. Yes the most expensive are solid Silver and or Gold. The complete bracelets that are advertised on TV for a complete gift are several thousand dollars to say the least. Is there a Mom in today’s economy that would be excited to wear such a expensive present when she had kids. If she had a great deal of money then it probably would not matter, for her children would not have to go without.

Well to make a long story shorter, it took Add A Link Of Charm 3 years to find a company that manufactured great quality Pandora Style Jewelry that is totally compatible to the “Pandora Bracelets” and compatible to use Pandora Jewelry on our chains.    Now, you can enjoy the best of both worlds, no one will know the difference when you sit both brands side by side.

You can choose a bracelet with a “Mother’s Love” Like the one pictured here:

The Best Nanny Money Can Buy

“Enjoyed this post? If so please Pin this image to your Pinterest boards and share it with the world.”

Nanny’s, Good Nanny’s are NOT a dime a dozen.  Have you ever thought about the life of a Nanny?  How much they are Paid Today  and I believe it but it hard to comprehend. This is what we have done in our Society today!  Do you remember approx 20 -25 years ago Mom’s and Dad’s were starting to change places.  The Mom’s would go out in the work force and bring home the paycheck while Dad’s stayed home watching the kids and Monitored the status of the kids and the home.  They became the homemaker while the kids mother would be the one to bring home the “Bacon”.  How much do you feel that a good Mom is worth?  Is not a Nanny a Mother?  Yes in a matter of speaking she is!  How do you value your children’s life?   Now folks have elected to have the children, have the huge house, have to work 3 jobs to be able to afford these things.  What happens to their children?  Day Cares or Nanny’s?  If you had the money, the live-able space what would you choose?  I think it would be a no-brainer…Don’t you?

It took Zenaide Muneton 20 seconds to convince me that she was the perfect nanny. Short and dark-haired, she has a goofy, beaming smile and knows how to make everything fun for a little kid. Time to brush your teeth? She shakes her hands and does a pantomimed teeth-brushing dance. Bath time? She pumps her arms up and down in a going-to-the-tub march. After I told her I’d love to hire her, she smiled and thanked me.

Then we both laughed, because there is no way I could possibly afford her. As one of New York City’s elite nannies, Muneton commanded around $180,000 a year — plus a Christmas bonus and a $3,000-a-month apartment on Central Park West. I should be her nanny.

I began researching this bizarre microeconomy shortly after my wife and I started looking for someone to watch our son for a few hours a week. We met with several candidates, all of whom had good references and seemed fine with him. Still, we weren’t sure how to judge them. Should we hire the one who seemed to be the most fun? The most experienced? A native English speaker or someone who could speak a foreign language to him? Someone with a college degree? A master’s?

We had no idea. But I began to wonder if price conveyed any important information about the nanny market. All the candidates we spoke with charged about $15 to $18 per hour, which, though standard in our Brooklyn neighborhood, seemed like a bargain when I learned that some nannies charge considerably more than double that rate. Would my son suffer with a midmarket nanny?
