You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years of trying to get other people interested in you.

Over and over, we begin again.

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but starting July 1, 2004, you will no longer be able to use a cell phone while driving unless you have a “hands free” adapter. I went to Circuit City and they wanted $40 for a headset with a boom microphone for my cell phone. Having a friend in the cell phone business, I talked with him and was able to come up with an alternative, working through Office Depot.
These kits are compatible with any mobile phone and one size fits all. I paid $0.08 each because he bought a large quantity. I’m selling them for only $1.00. I tried them out on Erickson, Motorola, and Nokia phones and they worked perfectly.
A photo is attached (or scroll down). Take a look and let me know if you want one. Also, forward this to anyone you know who may want one!

Are seniors who don’t understand the federal drug program simply suffering from dementia? I don’t think so. I listened to a report on NPR last week explaining how the thing worked and that there was one seniors assistant in Fairfax County VA who understood how it worked and was giving lectures to seniors on how to pick a card. I have a Masters Degree in Science, and the explainations were unfathomable! Talk about bureaucrats run amok! There is some serious inside the beltway thinking going on at the Department of Health and Human Services.
