Is the water you drink is safe? - Tamil Health Tips
Water scarcity has increased in these days
We are in the stage to buy water for drinking purpose
The reason behind this is polluted water sources,mixing of toxins, and reduction of drinking water.
So as we dont get the essential water we are depending on the Canned water
In chennai alone they are selling 75 lakh litres of can water per day
We are going to see whether the can water we buy are really pure.
Recently central government has conducted a research
They conducted this research with a top selling brand of can water in four south Indian states
They revealed shocking results after the research
Some people think that ISI mark is enough while buying Can water.
In the can water we buy , both ISI and FSSAI mark should be present
The ISI certificate given by Bureau of Indian Standard should be there
At the same time the FSSAI (Food safety and standard authority of India) mark which decides the quality of the food should also be present
So before buying Can water confirm whether both the marks are present in the can.
You would be aware that ISI certification of some water companies has been withdrawn while checking in BIS Certification website
We should check whether the name of compnay, Manufacturing date, Expiry date, Batch No., CML No is present.
All these details should be present in the lid of the can also
Some of the companies use stickers instead of printing.
So by this we can confirm where the quality of the can water we buy is upto the standard.
Some can will not damaged even if it falls down. They are chemicals for this.
And in some companies there will be no machineries to fill water in the can and they do it manually
Due to this unhygienic condition is present in filling the can.
But we are not bothering about these actions.
How to confirm whether we are buying a good can water.
Get the receipt for the drinking water can
You can check whether your water company is authorised in BIS website
Check whether ISI and FSSAI marks are present
We can check the Purity of the water can we buy by calling their customer service also
We can check the purity of water by Water Analysis centres
If there is purity issues you can raise a complaint in food department officer and make steps to get pure water
Nature would have given water and air essential for human beings
We are buying these resources as we are against the nature
In olden days we welcome our guests by giving water and it is our tradition
But Now-a-days water is the reason behind many health problems

PWF 2016 Dominique Verga interview FR/EN/IT - Duration: 29:07.
Yes, my name is Dominique Verga
I live in Liege, in Belgium.
Before arriving at Prana, I had a very active life
in the field... I would say in the field of business
a world which is governed by speed, performance, money.
That is the "perfection" aspect. I was self-employed, I was business consultant, so...
My life was going 300 miles per hour,
always in my mental body
and with the aim of always doing everything perfectly
and accomplishing more and more
I really had a very mental life and a very fast life.
Of course, this kind of life had in impact on my health,
since it was always going 300 miles an hour, under stress,
and my past, too, contributed, and I started to have health problems.
The constant stress absorbed by the body ends up having negative effects on it.
And I really had some physical problems, some illness that had started to show up
due to the stress.
Problems like hypothyroidism, autoimmune diseases, problems of... enormous stress
And, at a certain point... we can say I had a burn-out, I totally collapsed.
These problems had been latent for many years
and they grew during many years,
and at a certain point my body really wanted no more of it.
I totally collapsed.
Yes, I am a mother. I have two sons. Today they are 16 and 19.
aah... how did my relationship with them evolve, before and after Prana?
Hmm, I would say that... it was enriched by a new dimension.
hmm... more listening, more sensations...
Prana brings into our lives the possibility of being in touch with...
... with things that are not told... things that... a much greater sensitivity to what another being is experiencing.
And... myself, I had freed myself from many things from the mental concentration of the past...
so I was much more able to listen to them, because before, in my life at 300 miles an hour
sometimes I was not very available for them.
And then I realized, after Prana came into my lfe, that what nourishes us, and is essential in life,
is human relationships.
This is what I nourish myself from.
And... they were already important to me, but they even came much more to the foreground,
in the sense that I realized that...
... sometimes I let my professional life take precedence over my family life
and then I really realized that it was essential.
And, then, it is so beautiful that, ever since I am pranic,
in everything I experienced, I never received any negative, oppositional reactions.
On the contrary, I received encouragement, much interest, many questions...
and a real listening on their part,
and now they are also starting to follow this path.
Of course my sons did realize the change that was happening because....
as I told you I had had health problems
and I was feeling very very bad
and ever since I started this path that lead me to Prana
month after month, year after year, I was feeling much better.
So, they were not upset at all by the fact that at a certain point I stopped eating...
For them... they could see that I was feeling much better, really...
Even the doctors said that my evolution was, quote, "miraculous"
because it defied all the laws of medicine, all the beliefs of the physicians on the body's capacity to recover.
So, seeing me recover, they spontaneously were in seventh heaven about it.
The only thing that truly scared them was when I spent 5 days without drinking.
They were really terrorized at that moment.
Because.. the general belief is that "after 3 days without water you die",
and so they were very worried.
And so... they really told me "Mum, you absolutely have to start eating again because we cannot stand this fear anymore"
And so... for them I... sorry, drinking, not eating... so I started to drink again for them.
I wasn't capable of drinking a full glass of water, I just took a sip, but I told them "ok, I quit..."
"I will start drinking again not to upset you anymore", out of respect for them, respect for their fear.
They had known me in a very difficult situation and I did not want to reactivate the fears they had had a few years earlier.
Ah, education. The term "education" has gone through a deep evolution since I have become pranic
... because I have realized that, in our belief system,
... we believe that certain things are good for others.
And... hmm.... we never cease, in our role as parents, wanting to...
believing that we know what is good for them, and give them advice
... making plans... telling them "if you don't do this, then..."
and I really.... and also, as a parent...
... we try, at the bottom of our hearts, thinking that we are doing the right thing
but often, we do things and say things, often, only to prevent
our children from living so called "negative" experiences.
So... a pranic being, or at least I... I know now that we come to this Earth in order to accomplish something,
and that experiences come to us in order to allow us to go beyond certain things
and reach a certain level of consciousness.
And I told myself, really, that before this, I had fallen into the trap of wanting to protect them
of wanting to prevent them from having negative experiences... to protect them, in every possible way.
And so my relationship with education now is really... hmm... "let them do it their way".
If there is an experience that they must have, they must have it.
We can talk about it. I can say "be careful, mind this or that, be aware", but it is their life, their experience,
and they have their experience, and this will help them grow.
Trying to prevent them... doing my best to remove negative things from their lives, I don't do that anymore.
It is really a totally free relationship!
And it does not start when they are on their own and have their own jobs and apartments
but already when they are still young, they can be conscious of what they do
and become responsible. This is the most important thing: responsibility of one's own life.
And freedom.
My own sons are 16 and 19 years old.
My sons... all that I experience – for instance I am a Reiki master –
they told me "the first people you are going to train will be us", so...
since the beginning I trained them in Reiki.
And so, in their environment, with their friends, not only did they talk about it,
but some of their friends come to my homeplace to receive treatments
and later, with Prana, they have talked about it freely
and I myself find it unbelievable how freely they talk about it
without any taboos, without fears.
They have seen, with me as an example, that it radically transforms life, health, and the entire human being
who is full of fears and restrictions, into a free, light person, who does exactly whatever she feels like doing
in every moment, carried by an unbelievable energy.
They are so immersed into the benefits that this can bring, that to them,
it is totally natural to talk about it in their environment.
Because they experience it too: they are already 70% pranic
simply by living with me, for all that I imply, that is the change in DNA that it causes in others
so it is totally natural that they have no problem talking about it,
and it is surprising to see how much their friends are interested.
There are people that come to my homeplace – friends of my sons – that want to talk about it with me,
they want me to explain it to them in more detail.
This is an opening, from young people, that seems really unbelievable to me.
This for me is the greatest pleasure, thinking that perhaps it happened to me
so that I could open that door for them, at their early age, and they can lead all their lives with it
and not having to wait to reach my age in order to be able to transform their lives.
Ah, professors at school, have they said something?
Yes because I had a meeting with the teacher of my youngest son, who is 16
and she said "it is unbelievable, your son, the point he has reached...
he is not normal... he always has a critical attitude".
He is always trying to dismantle the system, ponting the finger on the problem,
he is almost on the verge of quitting school because... he does not agree at all with the system.
And Robin – Robin is his name – has fully realized that he cannot stand going to school anymore,
It is a closed system, which .... stultifies the brain, which formats you,
while at home, all we experience, and all we do is reformatting, breaking, restructuring...
going towards a new world.
We are constantly talking about it. All our conversations circle around this subject.
And so he has decided, by the way, to quit school next year
and do... in Belgium there is a system which is called "central jury", which allows you to remain at home
to study on your own and to stand an exam with an external jury
and not go to school anymore. This is a quite extreme decision, but this is what he has decided.
The question was "if you could go back to the time when you were pregnant,
how would you live that wonderful time when you were pregnant, and...
and your sons were growing and approaching birth?"
Well.. This is a difficult question to answer.
but I realize, with this question,
that it was at that time, when I was pregnant, that I started to connect with something else within me,
something which was... "bigger than me"
something that was much more subtle,
and with some forces that were there, powerful forces,,,
which I perceived but did not know how to name or explain with words.
One example of this is that I always had the impression that
it was not me who chose the name of my sons.
For both of them – Raphaël the first and Robin, the second – I had the impression that
their names had "come to me"
One morning I woke up and I felt that during the night I had been impregnated with this name
that the name had really "fallen" upon me, and it came from there, from my womb.
And so I really had the impression, for both of them, and by the way I had only one single name in my mind,
and I never wanted to make any test in order to get to know whether it was a male or a female.
To me, it was just a human being that was going to be born and, whether it was female or male, it was perfect.
So I did not know whether it was male or female.
And both times the name that had come to me was a male name... and...
this already had somewhat surprised me, because... this is not the way one chooses a name, isn't it?
Normally there are discussions between the man and the woman, and the family too, it is a subject of negotiation
but in this case, the name had come from me only, in a natural way.
This has been confirmed to me a short time ago...
because I learned a new method for testing questions and... I asked....
I asked my children to make the test to see if it had been them who had chosen their own names
or whether they had been chosen by me,
and in both cases the answer was they had chosen their names.
And I was happy about this because I told myself that that intuition which had come to me
it was the right intuition and it was not just my mind making it up when I woke up in the morning.
Because my husband had told me "But wait, you are telling me the name came from here, from your womb, this name...?"
It seemed pretty difficult to understand
but I knew it was true.
And so it was a real pleasure for me, two or three weeks ago, to receive a confirmation of this,
through this test, that their names had been chosen by themselves.
For the rest, I don't know whether I would have lived it diffently, because I...
during my pregnancy, I was really.... connected to them by a sentiment of absolute love,
and I don't know whether being pranic would have changed something.
The question is if something changes in living as a couple...
Hmm... I am... I have lived on my own for 5 years now,
and so I don't have a relationship, I live alone.
So I don't know how to answer your question.
I live on my own with my two sons.
Well, something that I would like to add is... definitely that
living on Prana, for me, has nothing at all to do with... the absence of food.
To me living on Prana means reaching a certain level of consciousness
and a certain vibrational level,
that brings... to new levels of cure.
But to me... people make a lot of fuss, people are very impressed by the fact that one does not eat.
Evidently, I have let this go a year ago, and it has no more importance to me the fact of not eating.
I don't even think about it anymore, it is no more part of my life.
I cannot even remember the times when I used to eat,
and so, being on the other side of the wall,
I realize that the important part of this, the important side of this path
is what it opens you to...
this state of absolute freedom
of total trust,
of total safety, because I never feel in danger anymore, anywhere.
If there is no food, doesn't matter. If there nothing to drink, doesn't matter...
if there are dangerous situations, I feel totally protected and have the feeling that nothing bad can happen to me anymore
and so I really have the impression that the world I am in is totally safe
and, to me, – of total safety and freedom – and to me, this is actually what one should expect and search for.
It seems to me that the people around me, when I announce this or when I speak in a conference,
they all focus on "Ooh, eating... not eating...". Okay... it is difficult... but it is not the real goal.
It is only a door which opens on to something else
and everyone are focused on the door. That's normal, they cannot see what there is behind...
but what I would like to point to, in this conversation, is that it is just a door.
The essential things come later, after the door is opened, it is really like stepping into another world.
And at that point it is... the connection – vibrating at a very high frequency – to the Universe
and to the fact that we are constantly living in abundance,
contanstly in... "no effort is needed anymore".
I said before that I was living a life at 300 miles an hour
and I was wasting huge amounts of energy in order to reach whatever was necessary.
Today, I don't do anything anymore.
I ask for things with my heart – not out of a whim – mostly for others, not even for me – I don't need anything anymore...
for others.. and I just need to express a request while in conscious meditation,
and the whole Universe, absolutely, it makes me meet the right persons, the right occasions,
the right appointments, the perfect synchronicities... And all this happens from heaven. I use zero energy
to reach the project that I have given myself, to proceed along my path, to open consciousness.
Ah, yes, do I cook for my sons? Yes
And by the way, it is a great pleasure for me, to cook, I adore it. All my life I have always liked to cook,
and this has not changed. I still like very much cooking.
But actually, the term "to cook" has become a little... restricted, because they are now both raw foodists,
but... it is a pleasure to... touch those vegetables, to watch their colors, to cut them into pieces, to observe...
to smell their fragrances, to see the colorful plates, and... I nourish myself, literally, it is a nourishment for me...
seeing the colors, because colors are vibrations, they are waves, and so I nourish myself from these waves.
They touch my subtle bodies and they nourish me.
And the fragrances! I am extremely sensitive now. My 5 senses have become extremely sharp now
and so, seeing the colors, smelling the fragrances, and the spices that I add,
hmmm, I nourish myself from all this.
Well, my activities... Obviously, I could not continue to work in a job...
that was cold, dry and hard, centered on business and money
so I gave a totally new direction to my activities.
Reiki helped me a lot on my path to reconnecting to energy and it was thanks to Reiki that I became pranic
because I was constantly connected to the universal love energy.
To me, Reiki and Prana are exactly the same thing because I am connected all the time
and so now I have become Reiki master. This means I practice Reiki healing on people that come to me.
And I also train others. I am Reiki master so I train other people in Reiki.
This is my primary activity.
My second activity is that I have become a sofrologist,
so I have attended a course of studies in sofrology
and I work with people, individually or in groups, with this technique.
It is a technique which helps people discover their hidden potential.
This is my second activity.
And a third activity is to coach people during fasting, so I accompany them during their fast.
Not Prana, because I think you must do a lot of fasts before you can become pranic
and I absolutely don't want people to wish to become pranic.
To me, this is something that happens to you, not something towards which you must want to go,
because that would totally block the process. When we want something, we are in our minds.
So I continue to offer fasting so that the body can detoxify, because we need that, in any case,
in order to reach Prana.
So my third activity is to help people during fasting.
And the fourth is to help people who are in a diet transition and want to change their diet...
but not with the aim of losing weight. I don't help people who tell me they just want to lose weight.
It must be out of becoming aware that what we eat has an impact on our lives.
I live in a city, I live in a city, LiÃ?ge, which is the second or third largest city in Belgium.
ah... Whether my pranic lifestyle has changed something for the people around me.
Surely!
You cannot witness such difference in the state of health, of being, of conscience of a person
without being fatally and totally disconcerted by what has happened.
So the first thing was that people asked a lot of questions,
and I realized that there are people who are ready to listen to a message.
And these people immediately start to ask questions, they inquire, they ask "how?" and, "how can I do it myself?",
"how can I walk the same path?"
And then there is another category of people who, in their present state of consciousness,
say "it is not possible". And these people have disappeared from my life.
Whereas the others, they have evolved.
And now I attract to me only people who are in a state of awakening their conscience, of evolution,
And all my activities are actually dedicated to this, but even in my close entourage
there have been people who have done this process of evolution with me
and this is fantastic, otherwise I would have lost all my friends.
Hmm, questioning about the future... I would say that now I live my life essentially in the moment,
in the "here and now".
So this is what allows me to remain connected with myself and with the reality of life.
In spite of this, obviously, one needs to project oneself in the future, and it is quite difficult for me.
But I do it. I have plans. Long term plans. Very long term plans,
reguarding all these new.... aspects of life... Pranism...
Ah, does the fact of being pranic turn some things that could seem extreme before, into much less extreme?
Hmm, I would say so, because now I really have the feeling that living without eating and without drinking
for many people is really something unimaginable.
And so other preoccupations that could be important, or could seem extreme before,
now seem totally realistic and feasible, and much less... unsettling than the fact of living without eating and drinking.
And so in this sense, we actually realize that, well, yes, it is still easy to accomplish this
it is feasible, it is within my reach, it is only a question of will and of goodwill.
But the fact of being pranic really pushes the notion of "possible" and "impossible" very far ahead.
So it is as if we have moved that scale so much higher that what seemed totally impossible
becomes totally feasible.
And maybe this is one of the goals... well, of the "goals"..
because it is an evolution that we have not searched for, that is here, that we experience, that takes roots
and maybe the goal is to make certain things accessible that we could not reach in the past.
This will help some people move more speedily towards... the first steps, really, the first stages.
"What is life to me now?"
To me now life is... the relationships... between me and other human beings. Between me and Nature.
This is the real life to me.
It is the nourishment, the exchange... of emotions, of experiences,
between me and all the people around me. And this is my nourishment.
Between me and the plants, me and the animals, and what is Alive. Also the minerals; I have contacts with minerals.
And to me this is life: the exchange.
It is the fact of being together, and the fact of helping each other evolve.
As much as we can.
And I realize, with the healing treatments I do, that... at beginning I thought:
"Well, I am a Reiki master, people come to me and I can help them"....
and I thought this was going in one direction only.
And now I realize more and more that this is totally wrong!
Because people come to me with problems. But these problems, they find and echo within me.
So these people, when coming to me, they create a resonance and...
it is me who should "cure" them, since they are coming to me for that reason...
but in reality it is not so! When they come to me with their problems,
they elicit something in me and this helps me move further, me too.
So I can see that everything moves in a circle.
There is never one who gives and the other who receives.
It is constantly "I give and receive".
In any kind of relationship.
It is an illusion, also of the spirit, the fact that there is one giving and the other one receiving,
Everything is circular. "I give and I take", everything is One in life. It is Unity in this case too.
It is Unity.

on Amazon) there's a whole section in there on running flyers.
Here's why I like flyers.
Flyers is the old-fashioned way of doing business, but it's really effective.
You get to pick the neighborhood that you want to work in.
You can drive through the neighborhood, and you can look and see "what is the age of
these houses?"
"Do these houses have double pane windows where they're going to be easier to clean
than those windows that have all the separate panes, with all the little crumbly stuff that
falls and breaks, and then you got to replace the windows if you damage them?"
You'll want to make sure that the houses are in the type of shape that you want to clean.
You also want to make sure that the size of the house is something you want to clean.
If you drive through a neighborhood in all the houses are like 10,000 square feet that
might freak you out, I know it would freak me out.
Okay, so pick the size of a house that you want to clean.
And then run flyers in that neighborhood.
You get to target the neighborhood you want to work in.
Here's another reason why that's beautiful; Let's say that you live in this ZIP code,
and you want to work in this ZIP code.
You can run flyers in your own neighborhood, or in the neighborhood next door. Or the neighborhood
on the other side of that, without traveling for 45 minutes between houses.
You can literally go work down the street.
And I've done this for years; I worked in my own neighborhood.
It's beautiful for this reason; the neighbors can drive by.
And they see my house, and they say; "Wow, look she takes really great care of her yard.
She must also take really good care of the inside of her house."
It's a great advertisement for my house cleaning business.
Another thing is these are my neighbors, so they say "Of course we can trust her, she's
not going to run off and then steal our stuff, or skip out, or whatever.
She's our neighbor."
Right?
There's some responsibility that's connected to that, and you get to pick the neighborhoods
that you want to work in.
So running Flyers is amazing because like I say you get to pick.
Second, of all, you're targeting a very specific demographic.
So what you do with your flyer is you say; "Hey, I'm Angela, I'm in the neighborhood,
and I have two openings."
That's it.
Two openings.
Now truth be, if you're just starting out your business, you may have a hundred openings.
Right?
Don't tell people that.
Because if you say "I have a hundred openings" well that looks like you don't know your marketing
very well, and it looks like, "well, you must not be very good at what you do.
Why do you have a hundred openings?"
People want to hire people who are booked.
They're booked solid.
They work by referral only. Right?
So, you're giving me a flyer.
If you're giving me a flyer, that means you need new business.
That's what that means.
However, if it says I only have one opening in this neighborhood, I would like to
come by and clean your house.
"Oh.
She only has one opening she must be really good; she is super booked."
Once you book that appointment, you can release one more opening.
Do you see how this works?
So, what you're doing is you're creating a scarcity by saying "I only have one opening."
But you're targeting the market that you want to work in.
Now, when you run a flyer instead of making your flyer super impressive with all kinds
of graphics and…
I've seen some that frightened me quite frankly.
They have multiple logos, and it has lots of stuff on it.
Don't, do that.
Don't go for all color.
I understand that everybody has a home printer now that has four color printing I get that.
Turn off your colors and print black and white.
Because when you print in black and white here's the message that you send:
"I'm a small company.
I'm just getting started.
I am booked, but I've got one opening and here's my flyer."
I look at that flyer in my mailbox, and I say: "Wow, well, this is not a high glossy,
four-color print job.
This is not a franchise that has to recoup their advertising cost.
This is a person that's looking to expand their business, and they have one opening.
I better hurry and call."
What you're sending is a message that says; "I'm approachable."
"I'm easy to work with."
And "I'm affordable."
So I have this crummy little flyer, it is crummy, very professional-looking,
but it's crummy.
It's a half a sheet.
I print two on one page, and I cut it in half.
I do that so that it's more eco-friendly it saves more paper.
I'm not killing as many trees to run the flyers.
Okay, but the important part is this.
It says exactly what I do.
At the very top, it has my contact information.
So it has my name, and my email, and a way to get in touch with me.
Then it has my credentials, so that says:
"I'm bonded."
"I'm insured."
"I accept credit cards."
"I have a satisfaction guarantee" whatever the things are, that are your credentials
that will get people to call you.
So you have a little bit of sales space, where you are going to have people call you because
you're going to make them feel good because you have these credentials in place.
Then I have a little list of things that are available.
These are the things I do.
"I empty the trash, and I clean the window sills, and I do baseboards, and I dust blinds..."
and whatever it is.
Then at the very bottom, there's a little thing that says; "I work by referral only.
This is a one-time flyer in this neighborhood, and I'm just introducing myself because I
have one opening.
So if you don't need my service now, please save this until you do."
And that's the end of the flyer.
If you would like a copy of the flyer, you can go to https://savvycleaner.com/flyers
and you can download that flyer.
And you can tweak it.
Change the address, change the name, change the credentials whatever, make that your own.
It's a crummy flyer, but it works wonders.
And it has worked for everybody I know for 25 years.
It's an amazing flyer, super crummy, and it works.
Not four color.
Not glossy.
Black and white, half a sheet.
Okay so put the flyer inside a shoebox.
Put it on your car seat, and as you drive through the neighborhoods you're going to
have a little moisture wick stuff that you put your fingers in, and you're going to
grab one, roll it up put it in the newspaper tube.
The newspaper to not the mailbox.
The mailbox is federal property.
If you get caught putting a flyer inside a mailbox, you can be fined a hefty fine from
the US Postal Service.
And they can make you pay full postage for every single flyer that they find.
So don't put it in the mailbox.
But put it in the newspaper box.
And then go about 9 o'clock in the morning.
If you go at about 9 o'clock in the morning.
People typically check their mail during the weekdays.
Not so much on the weekends, but during the week, and avoid garbage day.
Because you don't want to be driving in and around garbage cans in the neighborhood.
So pick a day that's not garbage day.
Go about 9 o'clock in the morning before people check their mail for the day, and put the
newspaper tubes.
Just make sure that that is in place.
If you see people coming out of their yards, out of their houses, or walking their dog
or whatever… pedestrians have the right away.
Don't try to run people down.
Try to zip past them, be patient enough just wait.
The other thing that I might recommend is this: wear your uniform when you're out delivering
flyers.
Wear your uniform.
I cannot tell you how many times I've had people running out going:
"Wait! Stop can you come in and give me a bid right now?"
"Yes, I can.
I'm prepared to do that."
And so have your worksheets with you and get out and go in and deliver a free estimate.
That happens to so many people that I know.
It's a possibility.
So be prepared for it.
And then also realize as you're out delivering flyers, you are an advertisement for your
business.
People see you driving down the street; there are people who work out of their houses.
They look out the window: "Oh, there is some guy running flyers."
If your car is dirty and if you're not your uniform, that sends a message really quickly
before they ever even saw your flyer.
"Wow, that's a really clean car."
"That person looks like they are in a uniform."
"What's going on there?"
"Who is that person?"
See how that works?
You are an advertisement for your business.
So do flyers work?
Yes, they work really well.
Here's the catch to flyers:
On your flyer, you must have something that links back to your website, or your social media.
Because before people are going to hire a perfect stranger to come into their home,
they're going to vet you on social media or online.
They're going to look for you.
They're going to make sure that they're not hiring a you know, a pervert.
Or somebody who's been incarcerated.
Or somebody's who is going to steal their stuff, or whatever.
They want to know that my family is safe.
"My pets are safe.
My home is safe.
This is a person who is qualified to do the job that they promised to do on the flyer,
that I left in my newspaper box this morning."
Flyers do work.
And I'm a big fan of flyers for those reasons.
So that's it for today.
