meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an
underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site &
click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle).
Fight Breast Cancer pink - If you
go to the Cigna web site and click on the pink

SKIN CANCER - Most Preventable
Cancer! Research is showing us that over-exposure to the sun, from early
childhood to adulthood, is a major cause of skin cancer! (Tanning beds are also
a new cause of skin cancer!) No sun tan is a safe tan!
Every sunburn has the potential to cause cancer later in
life! So... Avoid over-exposure; avoid over exposure,
especially in the heat of the day (11 to 3). Slip on a cover-up --
shirt, sarong, etc. Slop on sunscreen (apply often!)
Slap on a hat! (wide brims protect) Wrap on sunglasses!
Over-exposure to the sun causes skin to wrinkle!
May also cause glaucoma (thus the sunglasses!) For more sun safe
tips, games for children, visit

JB4Shore - I guess you are
familiar with the recent 3 judge panel ruling by the 9th federal circuit court
regarding the "pledge of allegiance" being unconstitutional and
therefore should be banned in school. I was sent this by a friend and
thought it might be worthwhile for Marylanders as we all tend to lose sight of
what our country stands for as we muddle, drink, party,and wander aimlessly
through this "modern" society of ours. Bless you all I Pledge Allegiance -- By Red

REQUESTS:
YOUR WALLET
READ & PRINT OUT , PASS ALONG TO YOUR FAMILY, and DO!!!!
Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine or
your scanner and copy both sides of each license, credit card, etc. You will
know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone
numbers to call and cancel in case it gets lost, or worse yet, stolen. Keep the
photocopy in a safe place.
1. As everyone always advises, cancel your credit cards
immediately, but the key is having the toll free numbers and your card numbers
handy so you know whom to call. Keep those where you can find the easily.
2. File a police report immediately the jurisdiction where it
was stolen, this proves to credit providers you were diligent, and is a first
step toward an investigation (if there ever is one).
3. But here's what is perhaps most important (I never thought
to do this). Call the three national credit reporting organizations immediately
to place a fraud alert on your name and SS# (And call the Social Security fraud
line). I had never heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called to
tell me an application for credit was made over the Internet in my name.
Equifax:
Experian (formerly
Social Security Administration (fraud
line):
The alert means any company that checks your credit knows
your information was stolen and they have to contact you by phone to authorize
new credit.
IS YOUR PHONE NUMBER ONLINE?
Take a look at the note below - if you go to www.google.com
and type in your telephone number it will actually pull up directions to your
house - there is a way to have your number removed. Many people are unaware of
this danger. I was, in fact! Go to www.google.com then
type in your phone number (separated by hyphens, including area code) and click
on Google Search. If your phone number is listed it will show your name
and address and give you two map options. Yahoo and MapQuest. See
how accurate the map is to your home. VERY SCARY!!! Any person wishing to
discover the physical location of a phone number, be it a home or business
address, could use this feature to locate a physical street address, and
receive directions on how to get there from anywhere in the country. In
the age of the internet communication we all know the dangers of this - for
adults and CHILDREN! Google has made available an option that will allow anyone
to REMOVE their telephone number from the database that is linked to the mapping
feature. You will first need to check if your number is listed in this manner
by attempting a search-entering your full telephone number separated by dashes
(e.g.
How to opt out of direct marketing lists
