The teddy bear has chased away not only bad dreams but also tears and fears, and has been a faithful and lovable companion to children – and adults – for centuries. Three “holidays”
commemorating the teddy bear are proof of the teddy bear craze. Sept. 9 is “Teddy Bear Day,” Oct. 11 is the worldwide “Take Your Teddy Bear to Work Day” and Nov. 14 is “National
Teddy Bear Day."

To piggyback on the Hoosier fi b-fest, Snippetz investigated the world of Internet lies – those questionable e-mails with everything from President Obama’s religious affi liation to Mr. Rogers’ military career. Read on for a good dose of enlightenment.

Before Buying Property Together - One of the problems with owning property as joint tenants is that each of the joint tenants has an undivided fifty percent (50%) interest in the entire property and, if one joint tenant dies, that tenant’s interest is completely extinguished, and the surviving joint tenant now has an undivided one hundred percent (100%) interest in the entire property.
