Quotes of the Day

E-mails sent out Wednesday through Friday will yield the highest open rates. The highest click rates are obtained on e-mails delivered on weekends. Start your e-mail campaigns on a Tuesday or Thursday and then test the waters from there. Once your campaign is established, try a weekend, and compare it to your other results. Avoid scheduling e-mail blasts on holidays and holiday weekends. The best time to send an e-mail blast is between 7 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. I recommend a maximum of once per week, and would average two to three times per month for any e-mail campaign that does not have a per-prescribed frequency. [2007] - Bruce C.

I suggest you decontaminate the bristles of your brush after each use by swishing the head of your brush in an essential oil rinse like Listerine®. Then rinse it with water, and allow it to air-dry in a clean environment away from any toilet contamination. Do not rely solely on UV sanitizers as they may not be as effective as portrayed by their marketing. Even antibacterial toothbrushes need to be cleaned with some frequency, especially if you have an unhealthy mouth. Consider purchasing inexpensive brushes for travel and use them as throwaways. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

People are constantly losing jobs, being involved in accidents, suffering illnesses, getting divorced, dying, or suffering a myriad of other events that put them in a position where they need to sell their home or rental properties quickly. When people throughout the area know you and know what you do, you will start receiving calls about these deals rather than having to stumble upon them. [2004] - Mike Summey

When cancers progress in an orderly manner from precancerous stage to small tumor to large tumor to metastasis, screening succeeds. Screening to remove early cancers prevents the development of late cancers, and this saves lives. But if removal of early-stage cancer does not reduce late-stage cancer, screening is unsuccessful, and overdiagnosis becomes a problem. Not every early-stage cancer needs to be destroyed, as many small cancers are contained by the immune system and will never pose a serious health threat. With toxic treatments such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, the treatment may be worse than the disease. [2020] - Jason Fung

In general, any money you need in less than 5 years shouldn't be in stocks. Even balanced portfolios of 50% stocks and 50% bonds have lost money over that length of time. If you're saving for a down payment or another major purchase in the near term, your top priority has to be protecting your principal. Keep this money in a high-interest savings account or GICs. [2021] - Dan Bortolotti
