A while ago I ordered a Free Cookbook called “Light & Easy Recipes” from Merck and the American Heart Association… you had to take a quiz to get the free book, but as I remember it was pretty easy and only took a few minutes.

Anyway, that was in the newsletter last month, and it arrived today. I just checked and the link is still good - just take the ‘Heart Smarts Challenge’ if you want to get a copy for yourself.

About the book; it’s about 90 pages of healthy recipes covering everything from appetizers to desserts… and some healthy info from the American Heart Association spread throughout. All in all, well worth the few minutes it took to get it.

A couple weeks ago I ran a freebie offer in the newsletter for a Free Anti-Smoking Bumper Sticker and/or Poster … today the poster I ordered arrived. It’s a little smaller than I expected, but you certainly can’t fault their speed in sending it.

There were about a half-dozen posters to pick from, I chose this one to put in the kids bathroom because my youngest is really vain - even for a teenage girl - and I hope it will make her think twice before she lets the tobacco company advertising convince her that smoking is cool.

Limit Your Kid’s Online Time with ComputerTime (Free Trial Download)

Why I Like This Software:
ComputerTime lets me set how much time in a day, and when during the day, my kids can use the computer.
With our kids addicted to instant messaging, and all the dangers of the Internet, we needed to find a solution that sets time limits on the computer. ComputerTime does just that!

We can set flexible limits for when, and how long, our children can use the computer. Different limits can easily be set for each day of the week. ComputerTime also has a popular feature called “Time Tokens” which gives you the ability to hand out extra computer time to do homework or as a reward for good behavior.

Here’s a user review from PCMag.com - funny thing is that I could have written this myself: Except for the time span (I’ve only had it about three months) it’s exactly how I feel about this software!
“I’ve been using ComputerTime for over a year now and it is AWESOME! Before installing ComputerTime, my kids were on the computer way more than I liked. And when I asked them to take a break for 20 minutes, they would complain and get upset with me. ComputerTime let me set the times during which they can use the computer as well as how long they can use the computer in one sitting. The best part of all is that there is no more complaining and arguing about using the computer! My kids know, up front, how much time they can spend on the computer before it logs them out so they can manage their own use of that time by using it all at once, or saving time for later…talk about learning time management at an early age - bonus! I love it and would highly recommend this software. The installation and setup was the easiest I have seen anywhere!”

With the dangers of unsupervised Internet surfing, instant messaging, and game playing; every parent in the world needs a way to limit their kids computer use… There is a free trial download ~ get it and give it a try. If you love it as much as I think you will, it can be easily purchased right from the trial copy user interface.

You know you want to quit smoking.

But do you know WHY?

For many people who are trying to quit smoking, it helps to have a list of reasons why — a kind of map that you can turn back to when the going gets tough.

What are YOUR reasons to quit?

__ You want to add more years to your life, by decreasing your health risks.
__ You want to stop spending money on cigarettes, and save that extra spending money for yourself.
__ You want to prove to yourself that you can meet this challenge . . . so you can go on to improving your lifestyle in other ways.
__ You want to experience more natural energy, better health, and better quality of life.
__ You want to model healthy living for your children and grandchildren.
__ (insert your own reasons here — and keep the list)

Whatever your reasons are, you should write them down and keep them close. Have them in front of you. Repeat them to yourself again and again. Keep a 3″x5″ card in your pocket or purse with the list. In doing so, you’ll be laying the psychological groundwork to make quitting easy.

I’m talking about a comprehensive hypnosis program for smoking cessation, “The Non-Smoker’s Edge”. And, as I thought about the importance of wanting to quit smoking, I realized that this program perfectly demonstrates those principles.

The Non-Smoker’s Edge uses new techniques in cognitive behavioral therapy and clinical hypnosis to help you truly want to quit smoking . . . with your mind, body, and soul. Using a holistic approach, it helps you keep your goal in mind at all times. And not just your goal, but the reasons for this goal.

Desire is critical to action. Maybe that’s why multi-session hypnosis has a 66% success rate at helping people quit smoking. That’s higher than any other smoking cessation method that there is.

To learn more about hypnosis for smoking cessation in general and The Non-Smoker’s Edge in particular, click here… or download this free report” “10 Steps Toward a Smoke-Free Life” and see for yourself just how easy it can be to become a non-smoker.

The publisher, The Hypnosis Network, guarantees the results for a full year. If you’re not satisfied, you can return the program for a full refund of the purchase price less shipping. And right now they’re offering a great deal for our readers - $50 off the regular price. You can get the whole program (7 CDs) for only $99.

Make your list of reasons. And then make the next move to quit.
