Couch Potato No More
From Anonymous:  REPLY
I'm looking for a private personal trainer in the South Biscayne or Brickell area to help me break up with my sofa. This relationship is going nowhere and I want a fresh start with someone who will teach me to have fun and reap the health benefits of exercise, but not ridicule me for how very unfit I've become since falling in love with my sofa. Experience working with large women a plus (pun intended).

Pitch a Tent
From Anonymous:  REPLY
The apartment we are renting has termites. We are moving to a new home and would like to find a moving company that would allow us to have the moving van tented with all of our belongings in it so we don't take any termites with us. If you know a local moving company that would be willing to do this, please let me know.

The "Shalom Bayit" Divorce
From Denise Tamir:  REPLY
Shalom Bayit, Hebrew for "peace in the home," is the Jewish mandate to maintain a harmonious household. At the Divorce Mediation Center of South Florida, we believe the values of "Shalom Bayit" may be applied to the way couples divorce. By creating an atmosphere of mutual respect and dignity, we teach our clients how to communicate and negotiate with each other; a skill that helps them maintain a harmonious family unit even though they will no longer live together. Click HERE to visit our website.

Warning Signs

From Team JAB 
Summer vacation is here JABBERS and we want you and your family to be safe this summer since you will likely be spending more time at the beach and pool. By now, you may have seen the article Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning posted on Facebook. JustAskBoo Palm Beach Editor, Lissa Dorsey, experienced a near-drowning incident with her son recently and believes that if she would have known the signs described in this article, she would have been able to react faster. Lissa was fortunate and was able to pull her son from the pool in time and wanted to share her story.

"During a recent swim lesson with an excellent instructor, my son's teacher and I were watching him practice swimming to the wall. He had done this hundreds of times. He was in the shallow part of the pool with his teacher about five feet behind him and I was standing at the edge just inches away from him. In an instant, something went wrong. He wasn't flailing his arms around in the water, kicking his legs or making choking sounds. He wasn't exhibiting any of the signs of distress I assumed were present when someone was drowning. He appeared to just be standing still. But he was in fact drowning."

The signs of drowning can be so subtle that even a parent and a swim instructor standing inches away can miss it. Please learn the signs of drowning and help keep your loved ones safe this summer.
