for your wallet! NOT IN THE CLEAR

As soon as you get the green light, you're good to go, right? Not so fast! Although you do have access to the money, the check could still be bogus, and you'd be responsible for whatever you withdraw!!!!!!! How can that be???? A Heads Up! on what you need to know . |

alert! PREPAID PLASTIC HU-060709 You've probably bought a gift card or two over the past year, but another kind of prepaid card is becoming even more popular...the prepaid debit card. Experts say it's aimed at consumers who have no real credit history to bank on...or who just want to control spending. It offers the same protection as regular debit and credit cards but, consumer advocates warn, watch out for all the fees attached! Where do you get one? How do you use it?

your pooch ! PET MELANOMA HU-060710

and your kids to make sure you're all cancer-free. But there may be one member
of the family you don't think about- your pet! Heads Up! Veterinarians say
they see melanoma in dogs and cats all the time
.and it can be just as
deadly in pets as in people. How do you check? How do you protect?
Food
Fad! FRESH
FOOD FOR THOUGHT HU-060711
If you love fresh produce but are sick of running to the store to stock up
and sick of the high costs, too
.now there's another way to make a real
investment in healthy eating: become a shareholder in a farm and get dividends
you can really sink your teeth into! It's the latest food fad called CSA or
Community Supported Agriculture farming. People actually buy a share of a
farm's crops before the growing season begins and then receive vegetables
throughout the season as they're harvested. Produce lovers say they save money
over the grocery store and invest in their communities at the same time. Some
food for thought in this Heads Up!

designed to make you happier, healthier...even thinner! We'll tell you if
they're a real help...or all hype!
