The Right and Wrong Way to Do the Afternoon 'Perk Up'

The 3:00 perk up fix should include vitamins and minerals, not sugar and caffeine.

I am a regular Staples customer, and as much as I LOVE Staples for all my office needs, I don't love them for their nutrition advice.

This is the inside spread of the September Staples catalog. Other than with water, the only “Perking up” happening with these products will be your blood sugar levels and your scales!

When you need a little afternoon “fix”, reach for:
•    Fresh fruit and veggies
•    Raw, unsalted nuts and seeds
•    Hummus or guacamole
•    Green tea (with honey)
•    Plain yogurt with fruit/honey
•    Dark chocolate - 85% or higher cacao

Perking up with these items will just make you fat, cranky and unproductive.

But, page 14 does have some neat notebooks and journals. :)

I am just wondering how long this suspense filled soap opera will continue? Bottom line: HurtadoRead More knew his buddy needed a job...so; he and his majority board members made a mockery of local government due process and gave Mr. Peck a job, even though Hurtado voted with the past board to unanimously select an Exec…who is still under a contract. And then decided there was a need to pay a board secretary (who jumped out of the frying pan…smart move) and then appointed someone without pay. And of course there is a need to have a paid political hack to help publicly spin the board’s craziness via press releases.

I hate to ask the obvious of Mr. Peck (not that I expect him to answer anyway), but why is thisRead More announcement coming from the Executive Director rather than our newly appointed Director of Communications?

Mr. Peck, please answer 2 questions for me: 1. If you are cutting $800K but AdministrativeRead More Salaries are up over $118K, where are the cuts coming from. I have always been a patron of the Park District and want to know which of my programs your skimming off to pay yourself and Mr. Booth. 2. "Our staff deserves a lot of credit for this budget,” Peck said, “as their efforts to hold the line wherever possible have led to our success on behalf of District residents." Is reducing hours of employees the way you reward your staff now? I'm very upset that you honestly thought that cutting loyal employees hours instead of offering benefits was a good idea. I have a better one, cut the hours of Mr. Booth who has an unnecessary job and use his pay and salaries to offset the 4 loyal part-time workers. I will not hold my breath for your answers since answering questions to the people who pay your salary isn't on your to do list

I have an extra square table. It is a glass top, more rectangle than square, hole in the center forRead More an umbrella. I had spray painted it dark brown to cover rust since it is older and could use a touch up again but otherwise table is in good condition. I bought a new set myself last year but kept this table to use for garage sales. For $25 it is yours! Michele at michelev333@aol.com :)
