Here In My Car

I've been car shopping recently. This is a road I've been down before and it's never a smooth ride. Car dealerships will advertise the cheapest price possible, but once they get you on their lot the game changes. I have researched my vehicle choices and read probably too many articles on how to buy a car. I know to determine the price of the car before even discussing a trade-in, and that most warranties are for the power trail only. No matter how prepared I feel, I still feel very vulnerable when I'm dealing with the salesperson that truly has his part down. I've also purchased enough cars to recognize a few standard lines like; "I'm only making $500 above what the car costs me, really", "that's the final price, really" and "what color do you want." The color of the vehicle comes up way to soon for me, they always ask this question. It is the oldest approach in the book. In fact, I have always felt this to be a female stock question, almost discriminatory, but I digress. No one should be talked down to; remember to meet her where she is when your on the air. Think about the time of day you are on and what she could really be doing. And if she's car shopping, go along with her for the test drive. Your station should be the first pre-set anyway.

She Teach

Our nation has about 3 million public school teachers. Most have a masters degree and 10 years' experience. Three-quarters of them participate in continuing their education. They spend approximately 50 hours a week on teaching and noncompensated duties like bus duty and after-school clubs. Average class size for elementary school is 21 children; there are about 28 per class in higher grades. They spend an average of $440 of their own money for classroom supplies. Average starting pay for teachers is $31,704, with extra duties such as coaching bringing in more. The number of teachers leaving this profession is increasing due to low salaries and working conditions. By 2014 this nation will need 3.9 million teachers due to retirement and the growing student population. Encourage a teacher today; make sure they know they make a difference!

ADHD is a neurologically based disorder that starts in childhood and moves into adulthood. Seven to eight percent of school-aged children have ADHD and approximately five percent of adults. That's about 5 million children and 10 million adults. This disease is inheritable.

She Beware

Oscar Mayer Lunchables may seem like an easy choice for kids, but they are not nutritious. For example, the Maxed Out Ultimate Nachos with Cheese and Salsa Lunchables has 580 calories and 27 grams of fat; this is 42% of the recommended daily amount of fat based on an average adult's 2000-calorie diet. Children have different nutritional needs. On a good note, Oscar Meyer now has a "Sensible Solution Flag" to attract shoppers to healthy options. Obviously there is no flag on Lunchables.
