WHAT WOULD YOU BUY?
According to a new survey, people spend almost six months of their life dreaming about landing a huge financial windfall. People spend 12 minutes a day - or almost an hour and a half a week - dreaming about unexpectedly receiving a pot of money. That adds up to a total of three days of every year. The survey also found that 39% of people wouldn’t tell anyone if they won a fortune. And amazingly almost 15 percent of people said they’d keep the windfall a secret from their own partner.
HOW TO SPOT A SCAM
Here are some tips on how to spot a scam, according to Woman’s Day magazine.
It might be a scam if…
It’s just too good to be true. A free car just for taking a survey? A laptop computer for a single mouse click? No way.
You’re a winner…but you have to pay a fee to claim your prize.
It’s free with shipping and handling if it’s five or six bucks, fine. But make sure it’s not $59.95.
The website offers nothing but free stuff. It’s probably an e-mail collection site for spammers.
There’s a lot of fine print and you have to agree to accept all the terms.
You have to make a purchase to get the freebie.
You must give a credit card number to get the free item.
There’s a free “trial period.” This may be true, but the company can make it difficult to cancel, and if you forget, wham! You’re on the hook.

5 SURPRISING USES FOR TOOTHPASTE
Here are 5 surprising uses for toothpaste.
REMOVE CRAYON MARKS - Squirt a small dab of non-gel toothpaste on the wall where the mark is. Rub gently with a soft cloth, then rinse with warm water.
DEODORIZE HANDS - Can’t get garlic or onion odor off your hands? Wash them with a blob of toothpaste.
BUFF A DVD - Get rid of light scratches by squeezing a little non-gel toothpaste onto a cotton ball. Wipe over the DVD from the center out to the edge. Rinse with water and dry with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth - all gone.
DEFOG GOGGLES - Coat the inside of swimming goggles with toothpaste, then wipe off - they’ll be crystal clear.
CLEAN JEWELRY - Rather than take your prized pieces to the jeweler, you can get the same shinbe at home with a non-gel toothpaste!
