Hate ticks? Not only are ticks creepy,

but the bite of a tick can transmit life-

altering diseases. Don’t wait for ticks to

bite! Arm yourself with knowledge and

stand up to them! Studies have proven that people

who are taught the proper tools and techniques

drastically reduce their risks of contracting tick-

borne disease. With the right knowledge and tools,

all tick-borne diseases are preventable.

Come join our workshop! Together, we will review

basic tick biology, scientifically proven protection

methods, and bust any commonly held myths.

“ Write it down”

A couple in their 90’s are both having

some short term memory loss.

While in for a check-up, the physician says that

physically they are both okay, but since they’re

having trouble remembering things, they might

want to start writing things down.

Later that evening they’re sitting and reading, when

the husband gets up.

“ Would you like anything from the kitchen?”

“ Some vanilla ice cream,” his wife replies.

“Okay.”

“Shouldn’t you write it down so you don’t forget ?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t forget.”

“Well,” she says. “A few raspberries on top would

be great. You want to write that down?”

“I’ve got it honey. A bowl of ice cream with

raspberries on top.”

“And chocolate sauce, too. Maybe you’ll forget that.

Want me to write it down for you?”

A little miffed, he replies, “I’ve got it! Ice cream,

raspberries, and chocolate sauce. I don’t need it

written down for gosh sakes!”

He waddles out to the kitchen. A half hour later, he

comes back with plate of ham and scrambled eggs.

She stares at the plate a few seconds, then says,

“YOU FORGOT MY TOAST!”
