Greetings!

     It's hard to believe that back-to-school time is  here already.  My daughter starts her second year of college next week!
  

     If you have teens or young adult children, you have probably learned to stay connected with them via their preferred means of communication--TEXT MESSAGING.

 

     However, text messaging is now becoming a popular means of communication for everyone, even in business. 

 
Take the "text talk" quiz below and find out how skilled you are in this ever-so-popular form of communication.

Also in this edition of the Communique:
  • Info on FREE teleseminar "If You Can't Say Something Nice, What DO You Say?" on August 23, 1pm PST
  • By popular demand...LISTENING RIDDLES!
     
  • Request for submissions for next month's Communique':  What's on your "bucket list?"
     
All the best to you as the school year gets underway!

 Listening Riddles 

  

Test your staff--or friends--with these listening riddles.  See how well they "listen between the lines."  Read each question clearly and slowly, only once.  Do not repeat the question.

 

1. Is there a federal law against a man's marrying his widow's sister?

 

2. How many animals of species did Moses bring aboard the ark with him doing the great flood?

 

3. According to International Law, if an airplane crashed on the exact border between two countries, would the unidentified survivors buried in the country they were travelling to, or the country they were travelling from?

 

4. A man builds an ordinary house with four sides, except each side has a southern expose.  A bear comes to the door and rings the doorbell. What color is the bear?

 

5. You are the bus driver.  You drive three blocks and pick up two people.  You drive three more blocks and one person gets off.  You drive around the corner and pick up five people.  How old is the bus driver?
