Here are some interesting tips, links, and information from Twitter this week for all of us in the Sandwich Generation:

CAREGIVERS:

Preventing the Spread of Swine Flu in Nursing Homes and Senior Centers is an excellent article from Seniors For Living.

A CDC update, Taking Care of a Sick Person in Your Home , has some very useful information including how it spreads, medications that can help, and steps you can take to lessen the spread.

GRANDPARENTS:

Disney is one of the most popular channels with my grandkids . Particularly since we have a tween! For those who also like Disney, but don’t get it with their current connections, the NY Times reports that “Disney/ABC adds shows to Hulu, joining NBC and Fox/News Corp .”

SANDWICH GENERATION – GENERAL TIPS & ENCOURAGEMENT:

If you, or someone you know, is a hair stylist, Seekzpeace has some really cute stickers for kids when they get their hair cut. Sounds like something my grandkids would love! :)

Free audio book download, Foxes Book of Martyrs , at ChristianAudio My pastors have all recommended that book. I’m going to have to get it!  :)

The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3 Thanks to @RapturReadyNews . Speaking of them, Rapture Ready is one of my favorite sites for news updates from a Christian viewpoint.

CNN reports that the FDA says “stop using Hydroxycut products , which are popular dietary supplements used for weight loss.” Thanks to @NerdNews for that update.

Are you looking for friends from high school, or helping an aging parent track down an old army buddy? PIPL is a great search engine for finding people.

“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” ~ Corrie Ten Boom

Be careful if you use Facebook to keep up with friends, family, and even grandkids . There’s a new phishing attack going on. Don’t click on fbstarter links Thank you @JesseNewhart.

That’s it for this week. More updates on the next Sandwich Generation Twitter Tips on Microblog Monday.
