These are not going to make Phyllis'Favorites (published by CJRLC and really useful and interesting) but I thought they were worth mentioning if you are providing services for seniors (and maybe others).
Looking for Yard Sales - Check out www.YardSaleTreasureMap.com - enter your starting address, the maximum number of miles you are willing to drive and the day you intend to go out yard saling. You'll get back a mashup of yard sales posted on Craigslist, a Google area map of the yard sales and a recommended driving route. Very cool!
Energy Tax Credits - Available through the American Reovery and Reinvestment Act for certain energy-efficient home improvements - find products that qualify at www.energystar.gov/taxcredits.
And, speaking of energy tax credits, beware of scammers posing as salesmen or contractors - check them out at the Better Business Bureau - www.bbb.org and always contact your utility company if someone who claims to be their employee comes to your door suggesting an energy audit or any other service, and don't let them in!
If you know someone who is interested in networking for a new job, they might be interested in starting a local Laid Off Camp using suggestions from this wiki - http://laidoffcamp.pbworks.com/
Wiis are all the rage in libraries and senior residences because they offer folks at all levels of ability the opportunity to enjoy physical and mental exercise. What if you don't know how to play any of those games yourself? Cheat a little and go to http://gamercoach.com . Gaming-lessons.com is also available but has a very confusing user interface, is not current on lessons and seems to serve mostly as adverts for both their online lessons and products.
