The Fourth of July Connection
From Winnie Pritchett: REPLY While the holiday season is hard for deployed soldiers, it is often the summer months when many feel the most disconnected, forgotten, and far from home. That's why we are excited to announce that for the month of June, Apple will be giving us an 8% discount! This means we can buy loads more iPads for our brave troops! We need your help to meet our goal of donating 20 iPads by the Fourth of July! Please consider donating before the end of the month and join us in saying thank you! After all, it is their dedication and sacrifice that allows us to celebrate our continued independence! Click HERE to donate.*

Carolina In My Mind
I have turned to JABBERS in the past and have gotten amazing services from your recommendations. Now I need your help again! My family is relocating to North Carolina in about a year and I am looking for the perfect place to live - I'm open to living anywhere in the state. My first priority is to find an excellent high school. We are currently at Palmetto so I'd like something on par. I'd also like to find a place with a slower pace of life (not too slow) with less traffic and stress. Your feedback on cities/towns in the state is much appreciated!

Decode the Dress Code
From Team JAB 
We know not to wear Black Tie to a Cocktail Attire Recommended event. But what exactly is Snappy Casual?! Read on to discover the most unusual dress codes JABBERS have come across over years of semi-formals, graduation parties, bar mitzvahs, weddings and business events ... what they wore!
Tropical Topics
Heather Geronemus told us about her cousin's Tommy Bahama Formal wedding, a favorite dress code in the Keys. "I went with a maxi dress and flip flops, but literally all of the men wore Tommy Bahama shirts."
Allison Laskowitz was "asked to come to a Southampton soiree in Havana Chic. I wore a bright pink, silk maxi dress, and it looked just right in a sea of colorful frocks and fedora hats."
Cecilia Slesnick says Miami Chic and Guayabera Chic are the hardest dress codes to comprehend. She wore a bright blue belted shift dress to a Miami Chic party and it worked perfectly!
It's Jean-etic
Elaina Moran told us about one of her favorites, a Denim and Diamonds charity gala, where the guests wore ~ as expected ~ a mix of jeans and dressy clothes. "One guest wore old, faded Wranglers with cowboy boots and a tuxedo shirt, cumberbund, jacket and bow tie! It looked great!"
Cathy Keller tells us you can expect at least one person in blue jeans, regardless of the dress code, at a Colorado wedding.
In Theme
Lynne Moore loves the Wear a Tie or Show a Leg dinner party she attended in junior high. "All girls all wore ties and the boys wore shorts ~ in the winter. It was a blast!" She's copied the idea many times over through the years, each time with great success.
Simple Misunderstandings
Rachael Hodyno attended a Snappy Chic Christmas party in Mississippi. "To this day, I have no idea what it means. I wore an adorable 1950s-inspired dress ... and looked like I was in costume among a crowd of dark denim and dressy tops. A failure, but I looked great in pictures."
Angela Martinez attended a spring break cruise in college that introduced her to Smart Casual. "We really didn't know what that meant, so we packed a lot of clothes, just in case. A couple of months later when I sent out the invites for my graduation party, I decided to use the same Smart Casual dress code, thinking it was catchy. Oh my, did it cause a stir! My mother was bombarded with calls about what that meant ... which she couldn't really answer! It became the joke of the party."

Teach Your Kids to Enjoy the Water Safely
"When my husband and I were looking for a swimming instructor for our two-year-old, Tall Thom was the name we heard repeatedly. We were not disappointed. He is, in a word, wonderful! Thom understands children, their abilities, limitations and perhaps, most importantly, temperament. He has the skills, patience and sense of humor to work with children and teach them not only how to swim but to enjoy the water. We can hardly wait for our ten-month-old to start classes with him this summer," says Iris K. Call Tall Thom at 772.618.3599 or email HERE.*

Menopause Matters
I have all the symptoms of menopause but my doctor keeps telling me that it's not menopause because I still have my period. I would really like to get a second opinion so I can deal with the symptoms properly. Is there a doctor you suggest I contact?

Tired of Feeling Sick and Tired?
From Michelle Eggenberger: REPLY Do you suffer from anxiety and depression? Are you tired and in pain? Try acupuncture! "Michelle is the epitome of compassion and kindness! She is very soothing and has a calm demeanor. She is very skilled and has been invaluable to me in my healing journey. Thanks to her help, I have been able to reverse many symptoms without the use of drugs after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis seven years ago. She is a gift to all of her patients!" -Jose S. (Miami, FL). For more information and a complimentary one-on-one consultation, click HERE. Follow us on Facebook.*

Taking on Tourette's
I am desperate for a practitioner to help with my son's Tourette's and tics. No one seems to take kids with this debilitating illness nor have any ideas on how to help. Do you know a neurologist or therapist who can help? I will travel anywhere in the United States. Your replies will be very helpful.
