New Columns
My husband, Arthur, and I each write twice-a-month columns for The Gainesville Times. His deal with computing and technology issues. Mine deal with whatever strikes my fancy.
His latest was published on October 24th. Click here to read Arthur's piece on when you should consider reformatting your hard drive...and how to do it yourself.
My Oct. 16th column is about the late, great Lola Glazer. Click here to read it.
Made possible through the vision of the Polis-Schutz family, who created the electronic greeting card company

Also...this from my sister-in-law, Carolyn:
The Breast Cancer Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing.
Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising. 45,000 clicks= 1 free mammogram.
In case you're like me and tend to be suspicious, this site has been investigated and confirmed by snopes .com- click here to read their report.Here's the web site- please pass it along to people you know:http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/
Stop by KFC on Monday (10/26) to get a FREE piece of Kentucky Grilled Chicken. No purchase necessary and no coupon required. Yummy!
Stop by the Sephora counter at your local JC Penney to grab one of two great samples from LORAC. Just take along this printable coupon and pick your choice of TANtalizer Baked Bronzer or Mini Couture Shine Liquid Lipstick (in Glam).

Best Illusion Ever
Arthur sent us this video that claims to be the best illusion ever. It's just a tad creepy- perfect for Halloween week. Click here to check it out.
Homemade Tortillas
There are some things I've never even thought about making from scratch- lollypops, cornflakes, vanilla wafers and, yes, tortillas. Then I came across this recipe and I thought, "Hey, maybe I can make that after all." The resulting tortillas are soft and tasty...give them a try and let me know what you think.
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons lard (or shortening or margarine)
1 1/2 cups water
Whisk the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Mix in the lard with your fingers until the flour resembles cornmeal. Add the water and mix until the dough comes together; place on a lightly floured surface and knead a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a well-floured rolling pin to roll a dough ball into a thin, round tortilla. Place into the hot skillet, and cook until bubbly and golden; flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side. Place the cooked tortilla in a tortilla warmer or wrap in a towel; continue rolling and cooking the remaining dough.
Note: this recipe can be easily halved to make just a dozen tortillas.

Last Word
Weekly this 'n' that
Our first week of collecting both essentials and goodies to send to SSgt Latessa Bortner in Saudi Arabia was a huge success- last Wednesday we shipped off a 15-lb. package full of hard candies, nuts, chips, games, toiletries and greeting cards. We're going to try to send out a package each week so please remember Latessa when you're in the grocery store- just pick up a non-chocolate treat such as Jolly Ranchers or flavorings for bottled water. You can scroll down to last week's blog for a complete wish list.
This week, why not get your kids to draw pictures for Latessa? Her mom, Brenda, says her room is bare so let's decorate it with drawings thanking her for her service! Just drop them off at N2N and be sure to sign the card we have for her. Packages will be going out each Wednesday.
Remember to bring in your plastic grocery bags to recycle and register to win a $25.00 store credit. September's winner is JANET MORLEY.
If you'd like to be added to the N2N Hot Flash list and receive freebie and bargain alerts during the week, just email me at next2new@aol.com.
Each week, we'll be doing cash buying for one area in the shop that really needs inventory. This week, it's SCRUBS.
We'll be buying scrubs for cash all week- through Thursday, October 29th. Check next week's newsletter to see what the next buy-for-cash department will be.
Get a $5.00 store credit to you any time you bring us a new shopper. It's easy. Just bring in your friends who've never tried N2N shopping. When they check out at the register, we'll give YOU a $5.00 credit on the spot.
THEN- at the end of the month we'll hold a drawing of names of everyone who brought us new shoppers. That winner gets a $50.00 store credit. Also, if you brought us the MOST new shoppers, you'll get a $50.00 store credit.
Let's work to get the word out: friends don't let friends shop retail!
