Hey everybody! I know “Soulville” has been absent lately (school rocks!), but I wanted to share some public health info about swine flu with you. A lot of people are really freaking out, but at the moment we don’t know if it’s something to freak out about and freaking out won’t help anything anyway.

Spring is here! I’m so excited. Spring is my favorite season of the year, with fall close behind. Here are some things to do as the season changes to get you together in multiple parts of your life.
1. Toss old clothes. During the winter you probably were thinking of all those clothes that are clogging up your closet OR that you have lost weight and need to get some new clothes OR you just need some new clothes OR you just have too much stuff you don’t use. Take this opportunity to toss things that are too big, way too small, not your style anymore, torn up, worn out, etc. This means clothes, shoes (sneakers should be changed every 6 months or more often anyway), hats, undies, socks, athletic gear, etc.

There is little doubt in my mind that almost every one reading this article has heard almost exactly what I’m going to write, but I will bet less than 1/3 of you have actually done it. What am I talking about? Preparing for a disaster. Most people in the US think of terrorist events when they hear disaster these days, but natural disasters and accidents have occurred far more often and can cause geographical, physical, emotional, and financial harm. Are you prepared?
I’ve had my Apple iPhone for about 3 weeks now and I think it’s pretty awesome.
Every couple days, I find some really neat applications that help all facets of my life – school work, organization, entertainment, hobbies.
Here are 15 of the coolest free iPhone apps I have located so far.
1. The Weather Channel – For quick updates on weather, this is where I turn first. It’s easier to check the weather here upon waking up than getting up and going to a website on the computer.

These are rough financial times for everyone (well, maybe not Bill Gates), but that doesn’t mean you have to cut out all vacations, all fun, all treats. It just means you have to get a little more creative.
If you’re a person who always makes an adventure out of a place and really looks for things to do, this will be rather easy. If you’re a person that never really finds much to do, this might be a little difficult but you’ll learn a lot by the time it’s all over.

Right now, most people are freaked out about eating peanut butter. STOP. Yes there is a massive recall and a huge amount of pretty much unregulated peanut butter has made people sick. But what’s on the shelf at your local grocery store hasn’t been recalled – stores are obligated to pull peanut butter that is affected by recall – and what’s in your cabinet may not be affected. Since peanut butter is one of those things that has a very very long shelf life, eating “older” peanut butter shouldn’t be an issue – I’m still munching on a jar I bought about a year ago and have a jar on my shelf that I bought over the summer. Neither are affected and are safe to eat. Check the location your peanut butter came from – if it’s from one of the plants that is under investigation or has been recalled, don’t eat it to be safe.

I’m always wanting to meet new people. I like my internet friends and I like my real life friends but especially when I move to a new place I feel lost all over again. Here is my list of awesome social networking websites and a list of places to meet people in real life.
