A Tale of Two Cities
From Jenny Bernard: REPLY I am relocating to beautiful Miami from Massachusetts and am deciding whether to settle in Coral Gables or Pinecrest with my family? I am looking for ease in my day (not much driving!), family-oriented community, healthy places to shop, cute stores, etc. My three children are seven and under and my husband is working in Miami Beach. I would love your advice. |
In Mourning
My sister passed away suddenly, leaving behind her four-year-old daughter and husband. We have no idea how to deliver the news and handle this situation with her daughter. If you have had a similar experience, we would appreciate your advice on what worked for you. We would also like recommendations for a grief therapist in the Biscayne Corridor, El Portal or Miami Beach area. Thank you so much for your help. |
Movie Magic
From Laura Baldwin: REPLY Over the years, I've uploaded most of my videos from my iPhone directly to YouTube and then deleted them off my phone. Do you know of a service that can take the videos from YouTube and put them on DVDs? Thanks for your help!

We "JustAsk" You to Help Deserving Children at The Barnyard
From Team JAB 
JABBERS, yesterday we told you about Keyshawn, an exceptional 13-year-old boy who is using the free after school program at The Barnyard, a community center in West Coconut Grove, to improve his life. The Barnyard provides at-risk youth educational, recreational and cultural activities year-round. While United Way of Miami-Dade provides funding to The Barnyard, the center is still in need of basic school supplies to continue offering enriching activities to Keyshawn and the other children who go there to learn and grow. We've created a registry with an assortment of supplies, games and learning tools and we "JustAsk" you to donate items so the children can continue to focus on their education. Just click HERE to help. Thank you!

In a Class By Itself
My 87-year-old father is interested in learning how to use the computer and internet. He took a class at Miami-Dade College, but would like to find an alternative learning experience. Does anyone know of a person who could teach him one-on-one or a small class where he can get individual attention? I appreciate your suggestions.
