 One of the many splendors of living in Miami is the ability to enjoy fresh produce and crafts from local artisans year round. Ever since the increased interest in becoming locavores, juicing and all things organic began spreading like wildfire, we have seen farmer's markets pop up all around town. Delight in open-air shopping and select and savor local honeys, juices, bouquets, hand-made jewelry, soaps, spreads and breads - all while chatting with the vendor, who will gladly tell you more than you ever imagined about what it is you're about to buy. Supporting our local community and connecting you to people in-the-know is what JAB is all about. So, if you want to jump on the fresh and organic bandwagon and need to search for a great produce buying club, the best electric juicer around or a wonderful doctor to get you started on the right path, just ask our trusted community of JABBERS HERE. And, if you want to scope out a farmer's market near you, we've got you covered. Just click HERE! Happy JABBING! ~Team JAB

Divorce Dilemma
My husband and I are filing for a divorce and neither of us are represented by an attorney. The only question I have is whether it is customary to share the dependent exemption for tax purposes in alternate years even though our daughter will be living with me the majority of the time. I have tried researching this issue and can't find the answer. If you have experience with this, I would appreciate you contacting me. Thanks!

Rare Type "O" Kidney Needed for South Florida Man
From Team JAB
We want to spread the word about a young man in our South Florida community who needs help. Bobby Bebber was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of two. Not expected to survive, Bobby has fought for his life for almost three decades, living life to the fullest in the process. Despite his many challenges, Bobby went to school and then to college at Florida International University. His battle continues as he now needs a double lung transplant to keep him alive. His kidney, which his mother donated to him 11 years ago, is not healthy enough to withstand the medication that he will need, but not sufficiently unhealthy to place him on the kidney donor list. Bobby is now seeking a private "O" type kidney donor. If you or someone you know is interested in being a living donor, please contact the Duke University Medical Center kidney program, where Bobby is currently being treated, at 1-800-249-5864. Many thanks to NBC6 and Adam Kuperstein for this information.
