JUST A NOTE:

Pamela Lutrell for Goli GummiesThere are several ways that I generate income through this blog in order to cover business expenses and give myself much needed income.  Purchases through the slideshow links is one way, ads on the page is one way and a new way is through ordering or re-ordering the GOLI Apple Cider Vinegar gummies through me with my GOLI LINK HERE.  Again, if you are not familiar with the benefits of apple cider vinegar, you should speak with your personal physician.  My husband and I are sold on the benefits and I am proud to represent this product.  I am going to leave this at the bottom of my posts so that when you, friends or family would like to order you can use my link.  Thanks for the support.  This is a great product.

  1. Enjoyable articles, thank you Pam! I was interested in someone else’s perspective on how they perceive intelligence. If we aren’t already doing these things, they are very easy to implement. That article on sweeteners, we talked about that often when I worked in the hospital and it’s so important. One thing this article mentioned that I hadn’t thought of was the pure maple syrup. It sounds very sweet, but I’m going to try it for a different flavor!

  2. You always find good information for us to mull over. The article on the 12 signs of intelligence was very interesting and actually common sense. Some of the tips even overlap into manners Before I was compelled by my doctor to curtail my sugar intake, I had used a small amount of brown sugar in tea. Surprisingly good. IMHO artificial sweeteners should be banned altogether. Sharing a little story about my granddaughter’s school Roach Middle School in McKinney…the teachers organized a parade of cars and drove through neighborhoods where students live, honking their horns and waving. She will be a freshman this fall.

  3. A few of my family favorites…like baked beans…include maple syrup…so good. Happy Sunday, Karen!

  4. Those little parades are so cute and fun for the students right now when they really cannot gather with friends and teachers. I love it. The university I work for is going to host one as well for the graduates! Thanks Donna!

  5. Speedway High School graduates got to drive a lap on the Indianapolis 500 track, which I thought was very cool.

  6. I enjoyed the article on the 12 things that make people think you are intelligent. I can say that I agree with most of them. The first time we walked into our accountant’s home office, my husband & I were impressed with how neat it was. Being a person that thrives on neatness & order, his office told me that our business was important to him, & we had his full attention.

  7. If #6, SHOES, on the 12 things that make people think you are intelligent is true, then I’m on my way to genius! I LOVE shoes and enjoy wearing the most appropriate, stylish, color-coordinated and comfortable shoes for any occasion. My mother was, and my sisters are the same. I have one daughter who loves shoes and the other…well, she’s a work in progress, but I do have 3 out of my 5 granddaughters on the way to genius as well.
