Could You Have Blackberry Thumb?

     It's rare these days to see people without a cell phone in hand, texting for hours at a time.

When  folks attempt to spend the day e-mailing, instant messaging and surfing the Web on a handheld device, repetitive stress injuries -- such as "Blackberry thumb" -- are likely to occur.


    Symptoms of Blackberry thumb include aching and throbbing pain in the thumb or sometimes other fingers and in the wrist.  

 The  name of the condition comes from the Blackberry,  a popular brand of smartphones that debuted in 1999.

Just use common sense. Be smart with your use -- shorten answers and just use the devices when you need to.

Celebrate Labor Day!

Traditionally, Labor Day is celebrated by most Americans as the symbolic end of the summer. In high society, Labor Day is (or was) considered the last day of the year when it is fashionable for women to wear white.


Labor Day marks the beginning of the NFL and college football seasons. NCAA teams usually play their first games the week before Labor Day, with the NFL traditionally playing their first game the Thursday following Labor Day. Most school districts that started summer vacation in mid June will resume school near this day.

The first Labor Day in the United States was observed on September 5, 1882, in Boston, by the Central Labor Union of New York, the nation's first integrated major trade union. It became a federal holiday in 1894.Singed into law as a National Holiday by Grover Cleveland.

All Car-Lotta Credit locations will be closed Monday Sepetmber 5th in observance of Labor Day.
