We couldn't help loading one more military surprise video.  Family is most important and that is something these videos share.  At FotoDialer, we also believe family matters most.  This is why FotoDialer was invented; to allow family to communicate easier and stay in touch.

There's Still Time For Christmas

There is still time if you need to order your FotoDialer for a Christmas gift.  Your FotoDialer is usually sent the same day it was ordered if done on a weekday before 4:00pm MST.  Orders are usually sent via USPS Priority if being shipped within the USA. Shipping time usually takes 2-4 business days.  Overnight deliveries are possible.  Call or email for details.  See our CONTACT page if you have questions for us.

It is a great time of year to remember those we love and share meaningful gifts with them.  Here is just one way we can show them we care and ensure they have the ability to communicate with friends, family, and emergency personnel. 

We wish you a very Merry Christmas!

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Split dough in half. Place one half into refrigerator. Roll second half out until 1/4 inch thick. Cut shapes or circles. Place onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill. Repeat procedure with second half of dough.
4. Bake cookies for 7-9 minutes, or until poufy but not brown. Remove form oven. Cool one minute on baking sheet. Remove and cool on wire rack completely.
5. Frost with favorite frosting or decorate with icing, candies, etc. Another fun option is to put decorative sugar or crystal sprinkles onto your dough just before baking. That will create a beautiful, sweet pop of color and you won't need any frosting at all!
The refrigeration trick also works with my famous Gingerbread Cookies. Follow this recipe and you'll have delicious gingerbread cookies every time.

    More Great FotoDialer Features!

    Another great FotoDialer feature is the amount of numbers you can program.  Other versions can only program 5-10 phone numbers.  With FotoDialer you can program 24 numbers for family, friends, or emergency numbers.  These numbers are associated with larger, wallet-sized photos instead of small, hard to see pictures.  FotoDialer has six pages with four photos per page.

    If you want to use your telephone without going through FotoDialer, you can just use it as you normally would.  Your phone will work as it regularly does.

    Make it a wonderful day!

    Suggestions to Reduce the Risk for Dementia

    I saw a good article the other day detailing five ways to reduce the risk for dementia.  Click here to see the article.  The article gives ideas all of us can use to prevent having forms of dementia when we get older.  Though these ideas are not surefire actions to prevent getting Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, they do seem to be great aids in prevention.  So, on to their list:

    1) Solve a Crossword.  Brain stimulation builds brain cells and connections in the brain.

    2) Play an instrument.  The article suggests learning to play early on in life pays off when you are older.

    3) Break a Sweat.  Raising your heart rate and breathing harder can reduce dementia risk later on.  Exercise can also slow dementia if someone already has it.

    4) (My favorite) Phone a Friend.  Being social can keep your brain young and active.  So, get your FotoDialer to phone your friends and family to plan activities.

    5) Order the Salmon.  Fish has been called, "brain food" in the past and for good reason.  To quote the article, "Brain scans showed that people who ate baked or broiled—but not fried—fish at least once a week had better preserved gray matter in key areas of the brain. The researchers calculated that eating fish weekly cut Alzheimer’s risk by almost five-fold."

    Hopefully doing these five things can be what it takes to reduce our risks for dementia.  And remember to get your FotoDialer based on tip number 4, "Phone a Friend."
