Reader tip of the week: If you must go, have this ready

A small, secure box is best for quick escapes.

This summer has brought wildfires and power outages that have caused many to leave home in a hurry.  Leatrice Urbanowicz of Frederick, Md., suggests keeping a “grab and go” box with all your important documents. Make it small and fireproof, and stash a little cash for immediate needs.

Put your name, address and phone number in permanent marker on the outside of the box, too. That way, in case of a house fire, tornado or worse, your items are more likely to be recovered.

  1. well said and written! Thanks so much

  2. It’s genuinely very complicated in this busy life to listen news on Television, therefore I simply use the web for that purpose, and get the hottest news.

      Trying out products from ur crnutoy thatb4s really interesting. Here in Brasil most people have curly hair, so they came up with the brasilian blowout yrs ago because everybody wanted straight hair. Also in Japan, they have TONS of products for brighten up the skin and clear blackheads. And the list goes on I really do believe thatb4s a valid tip. Recently I discovered 3 great brasilian brands that have been doing wonders for my skin! Im really impress! So itb4s always good researching =)

      I had no idea you could turn that off.Going to check on my purse/ play camera. It’s a cute liltte p’n's. It’s great for not lugging my camera around, but when you’re accustomed to dSLR quality, it could use any extra help it could get.

      An article this week debrsiced the efforts of two well-funded corporate giants in a new Sacramento-area company that hopes to change the future of aging by using technology to help senior citizens age gracefully. They hope that their partnership, Care Innovations, can help shape the future of aging. The joint venture brings together Intel’s Digital Health Group and General Electric Healthcare’s Home Health division and was formed in January 2011. Their technology solutions for aging adults include products that monitor chronic disease, improve social connections, minimize falls, and reduce healthcare costs.

    Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the internet the easiest thing to
    be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people
    think about worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

  7. Link exchange is nothing else but it is just placing the other person’s weblog link on your page at proper place and other person will also do same for you.

    Reading through the MWFC bio (a naisissrct, I know) and realized the write up on Jeffy is incorrect. Jeffy is our EP, recorded in Detroit with Matt’s brother. The recordings with Django are still being produced. This site is beautiful, though. Great job guys!Toodles!-Mike, MWFC

    Right now it sounds like WordPress is the preferred blogging platform out there right now.

    (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
