Saints Get Overtime Win

Brett Favre didn’t want to go out like that and I don’t think he was the only one that felt that way. You’ve got to give it up to Favre who stood in the pocket and took hit after hit for his team. It just wasn’t in the cards for the Minnesota Vikings though. The New Orleans Saints seemed to have the cards all along. They were playing at home and the 12^th man really played a role yesterday.

Drew Brees deserves a lot of credit for being calm in the pocket and keeping his team composed, but the Saints defense was the deciding factor. They put a bruising on the Vikings yesterday and showed that they wanted it 110 percent.

It took longer than regulation, but the Saints pulled out a 31-28 win in overtime. They will face the Indianapolis Colts on Feb. 7 in the Super Bowl.

The earthquakes that have struck Haiti and caused an estimated 200,000 deaths and the displacement of 1.5 million people cannot be summed up in one word, even if that word is devastating. Fortunately, millions from around the world are opening their hearts and wallets to help in the relief. If you can’t help through service, you may be able to donate to those who can.

A telethon is planned for tonight called “Hope for Haiti Now” and will be televised on several networks starting at 8 p.m. You can also click here to see how your community can get involved to help.

Feel free to share any information you have about local Haiti relief.

Fess Up, Are You Drinking Caffeine Before Bed?

If you are drinking it in the afternoon or early evening you are. You don’t have to drink a cup of coffee or down a can of soda right before bed to have it impact your sleeping pattern. Drinking caffeine after lunch will keep your system going for hours, so you may want to switch over to green tea or decaf in the afternoon.

Think about the Ink Cartridge

How fast do you go through your ink cartridges? It can be annoying how fast your ink is used, but that doesn’t mean you should just chuck the cartridge in the trash. It takes about 1,000 years to decompose the 375 million cartridges that are thrown away each year. There is a better way.

You can use the empty cartridges and refill them with new ink or you can drop them off at most office supply stores and even receive a rebate. You can click here to find locations and tips to be more green minded when it comes to your ink cartridges.

Believe it or not warm tea can be a real benefit to you this time of year. Well, maybe I’m just saying that because I’ve always been skeptical about warm tea. For me, there’s nothing like a glass of cold sweet tea, but I’m starting to see and feel the benefits of warm tea. It can help you warm up in the cold, but it can also help with your vitality.
