I w ant to apologize to everybody for the fool I ’ve been. I can see that my be havior for the last decade or so has been degrading, p a thetic and self-destructive. I ’m sorry I ’ve been so heart less and selfish to those w ho try to show their care. Yes, I’m in jail and yes I ’m bored but that is n o t the reason I feel these feelings. I can’t ex plain it, sorry. It’s self-explana tory why I might get the cold shoulder from form er friends and fam ily b u t if you g et bored and have any news or gossip you’d like to share, please write me. I think I ’m going to be in here for a while. Charles T. H ellon c /o Jefferson County A dult C or rectional Facility, 675 N W Round Up Time Thankful I just w anted to say thank you to my aunt Caroline Cruz for coming hom e again and working so hard for all our people. I t’s going to be my goal to be thankful for som e one, relative o r not, everyday. We Eve in such “critical times hard to deal with,” and heart ache and death is so hard. Despite all that, it’s going to be my goal to be thankful for what we have. Joelden Ross Surface Toe Ness H ow do you stop a ten- p o u n d p arro t from talking too much?

Credit Enterprise Spendicitis. It’s a hazardous condition. It’s catching. It can be a gen erational problem . Children learn it from th eir parents w ho may have learned from their parents. Your famiEes rely upon you to act responsibly for them. O ne way to do that is to spend for needs before spending for wants because: • Wasteful spending dimin ishes your abiEty to provide for basic family needs. • Family financial success and survival require an ad equate economic base. There is a remedy, B urp ing Buffaloes— What? A holey quarter or nickel (see instructions below) can be used as a rem inder to be cautious w hen “Spendicitis” threatens. O ffe r— I will exchange “coin-for-coin” for a speciaUy se le c te d a n d p re p a re d (drilled) coin w ith this re minder, warning, suggestion, and hope: 1. Reminder——You can be a p ru d en t spender w ithout being a cheapskate. 2. Warning— T he hole in the coin may have reduced or destroyed its value in com merce. 3. Suggestion— R em em ber to p u t wants in then right ful place— behind needs. 4. H ope— T hat you will be very careful w hen defining wants and needs. How to use • A ttach coin to keychain. • G rasp th e co in w h en tem pted by a “want.” Go o f j — C ra^ y— W eird. Yup. But, my Fi nancial Skills stu dents tell me it has worked fo r them. • Squeeze. Squeeze harder. Squeeze as hard as you can— carefuEy. D on’t hurt yourself. • Y ou may sp en d fo r a “w ant” if you can make the Buffalo, both Buffaloes, the B ear, o r th e B ro n cB u ster burp, belch, hiccup, squeal, or squeak. • N o burp— N o buy! T hat is the rule. • D o n o t modify or ignore the rule. O ne Buffalo w orks weU for spenders with only a smaE problem. Some 2005 nickels have a Buffalo on one side. 2005 K ansas quarters also have a Buffalo. Burp one Buf falo. M edium problem spend ers should use the 2006 N orth D akota quarter— Burp both buffaloes. B ig p ro b le m sp e n d e rs should attem pt to burp the bear on a 2008 Alaska quar te r—-th in k o f p u ttin g a H eim lic h m an e u v e r o n a bear. Burp a bear. Very risky! A nd just for the girls— a Wyoming 2007 quarter with a bucking horse and rider— urp a broncbuster. G o o fy — C razy— W eird. Yup. But, my Financial SkiEs students teE m e it has worked for them. The next deadline to sub m it items fo r publication in the Spilyay is Friday, Sept. 14. T hank y o u fo r writing!
