Five Things You Need To Know Today (the Hy-Five)

It’s tipsy Tuesday, Hyattsville! Here are five suggestions for getting through today:

1. If you have an emergency, you can call 911, but you will likely get a faster response by calling the Hyattsville Police Department because city first responders will be the ones to rescue you. Why bother having your call re-routed to them when you can go straight to the top. Find out all the contact numbers you need at the city’s website.

2. Need a sweet deal this weekend? On Sunday Under the Coconut Tree is having an event offering free school supplies and plenty of home cookin.’ Head over to Baltimore Avenue from noon to 6 p.m.

3. Want to know how to block that irritating ad-/spyware from your computer? Check out Marcofolio.net for all kinds of techie tips.

4. Ever wonder why you have back pain when you don’t use those muscles at work? Turns out sitting can be really bad for your back. Check out this tip and a whole bunch more at projechappilyeverafter.com.

5. And this from hallfordhealth.wordpress.com: “Neurobics for your mind. Do things differently to keep your mind challenged and evolving. Do daily things with your off-hand. Park in different places.”
