I Find Myself Thinking Today…….

I am finally up and around this Sat afternoon…With all of our new shows we produce now, I usually never get to bed till at the latest 2 am..I was really tired yesterday and I found myself falling asleep as soon as I rested my head on my pillow..

I look outside and it looks absolutely gorgeous..The air feels warm. I am glad the rain passed on through. Isn’t it funny how the weather affects our mood. When it is rainy and dreary out, we often feel that way ourself. When the sun is shining and bright. We feel happy and uplifted. I think alot of it has to do with the sun. It feels warm on our skin. It makes you feel alive. Not to mention it is healthy for our body and our body does need it..

Anyway I am working on getting my housework and paper work done.  The hubby and I are maybe planning an afternoon of mini-golfing. We are getting rather good at it. So it’s anyone’s game today..It is so pretty and too nice to spend the afternoons indoors. So take a break from your work and step outside in the sunshine today. I bet when you come in your mood will be so much better..Try it…

Happy Saturday….

Craig’s List: This Ad Was Posted to Craig’s List Personals:

I received this through my e-mail and I thought it was great…Not sure if it is true or not but do love the poetic justice..

Enjoy and Happy Labor Day..

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
Date: 05-27-09, 1:43 A M EST.

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on my girlfriend and me, threatening our lives.

You also asked for my girlfriend’s purse and earrings.

I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.

First, I’d like to apologize for your embarrassment when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.

My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening.

Obviously, you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, wasn’t it?

I know it probably wasn’t fun walking back to wherever you’d come from bare footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].

After I called your mother, or “Momma” as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you’d done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as four other people’s in the gas station on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!

I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go’s, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]

I then threw your wallet into the big pink “pimp mobile” that was parked at the curb … after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver’s side of the car.

Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cellphone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what’s going on with that?

Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA’s office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target. The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number, etc).

In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you . . . but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider the career path you’ve chosen to pursue in life.

Remember, next time you might not be so lucky.

Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours,
Alex

P.S. Remember this motto. An armed society makes for a more civil society!

INFORMATION EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW……..

Blood Clots/Stroke – They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue

I will continue to forward this every time it comes around!

STROKE:Remember the 1st Three Letters….S.T.R.

My nurse friend sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word.
I agree.

If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks
Seriously..

Please read:

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall – she assured
everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .she said
she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she
appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest
of the evening

Ingrid’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been
taken to the hospital – (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had
suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs
of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don’t die.
they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this…

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3
hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He
said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then
getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is
tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the ‘3′ steps, STR . Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.
Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke
victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to
recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three
simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. It is sunny out today.)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS…

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency
number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke ——– Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another ’sign’ of a stroke is this: Ask the person to ’stick’
out his tongue.. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or
the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.

mail.google.com

I thought this was important to share. If more people are aware of the signs we can be more pro-active which in turns saves peoples lives..Please share with your friends and family. This may one day save someone you know and love..

California Fires

      • California’s acting governor today declared a state of emergency in Santa Cruz County, site of one of two large coastal fires burning out of control and forcing residents to flee their homes.

        Lt. Gov. John Garamendi issued the order because Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was out of state attending the funeral of his mother-in-law, Eunice Kennedy Shriver. The governor is expected to tour the fire zone in Santa Cruz County on Saturday.

        In the Santa Cruz Mountains, officials said two structures have burned in a 2,800-acre brush fire that has forced evacuations in the hillside communities north of Santa Cruz.

        FireThumb

        That fire, named the Lockheed fire, is being driven by heavy winds, and hand crews have experienced trouble reaching the fire lines. As a result, the fire is being mostly fought by air.

        That fire started Wednesday evening 10 miles north of Santa Cruz, and the cause is still under investigation. More than 2,000 people were evacuated.

        AccuWeather.com says that the gusty winds will continue at least through the weekend, giving little relief to firefighters.

        “The rapid spread of the fire was aided by winds gusting to nearly 20 mph. The fire is burning in a heavily wooded, evergreen forest area,” the forecast said. “The thick brush and rough terrain will make it difficult for ground fire control. Water drops via aircraft may be the best option at this time.”

        AccuWeather said the towns most at risk are Swanton, Davenport and Bonny Doon. The last major fire in that area was in 1948.

        Fire officials said this afternoon that the fire was moving closer to Bonny Doon and that more evacuations were possible as winds picked up. The blaze was 5% contained and was generating huge plumes of smoke over Monterey Bay.

        Smaller fires were also being battled elsewhere in Northern California this afternoon including near the Central Valley town of Tracy and in Yuba County near Lake Francis.

        A second large fire roaring through Los Padres National Forest about 26 miles east of Santa Maria has grown, forcing some residents to flee.

        Authorities issued evacuation orders Thursday that cover about 150 homes and ranches, most in the Cottonwood Canyon area.

        About 1,600 firefighters are attacking the blaze, which started Saturday. The cause is unknown. Firefighting efforts have been hampered by inaccessible terrain and volatile winds.

        Officials said the Santa Barbara County blaze, named the La Brea fire, has grown to 67,092 acres and is 10% contained. It consumed about 20,000 acres over the last 24 hours.

        According to a statement from Los Padres National Forest, “firefighters worked aggressively through the afternoon and night to prevent fire from reaching the Canyon area, conducting burn out operations to reinforce dozer lines along the ridges under challenging conditions. Later [Thursday] afternoon, the fire crossed Horse Creek within the San Rafael Wilderness creating a massive plume of smoke. Another massive plume was created as the fire moved east into Bates Canyon above Cuyama Valley, however, fire lines protecting homes in Cuyama Valley are holding.”

        The state of emergency is considered a first step in Santa Cruz County getting federal aid.

        The Lockheed fire near Santa Cruz has been 15% contained, but still threatens homes, according to authorities.

  • Mother To Sue Hospital Over Baby Luke Death

    I actually came across this story from my Face-Book page..It is so very sad…

    When did it become necessary for the judge or doctors to decide if one life is more important that another???

    You decide for yourself…..

    lukewinstonPA221004_100x110

    The mother of a seriously ill baby who died after doctors were given permission to withhold treatment is planning to sue the hospital, it emerged today.

    , who had the rare genetic disorder Edwards Syndrome, died aged 10 months in Liverpool’s Alder Hey children’s hospital last November.

    Doctors believed it was not in Luke’s best interest to be kept alive through aggressive medical intervention, and in October last year the High Court granted permission to withhold such treatment.

    Luke’s mother, 36-year-old , of Holyhead, north Wales, has always believed more could have been done to save her son.

    She will meet a solicitor today to discuss options for pursuing a claim of clinical negligence.

    She said: “This isn’t about money. It’s about getting justice for my son.”

    What is this world coming to??

    Did You Ever Stop And Wonder…

    I was searching the web and I came across these interesting points. These are things that I often wondered about myself…I am glad that I am not alone, and have thought the same way as others do…

    Did you ever stop and wonder…

    Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

    Why women can’t put on mascara with their mouth closed?

    Why toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp which no decent human being would eat?

    Why there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

    Why you don’t ever see the headline: “Psychic Wins Lottery”?

    Why “abbreviated” is such a long word?

    Why Doctors call what they do “practice”?

    Why you have to click on “Start” to stop ‘Windows’?

    Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, while dish washing liquid is made with real lemons?

    Why there isn’t mouse flavored cat food?

    Who tastes dog food when it has a “new & improved” flavor?

    Why people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don’t point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is?

    Why your Obstetrician or Gynecologist leaves the room when you get undressed – if they are going to look up there anyway?

    Why Goofy stands erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They’re both dogs!

    Why Noah didn’t swat those two mosquitoes?

    Why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

    Why sheep don’t shrink when it rains?

    Why they are called apartments when they are all stuck together?

    If con is the opposite of pro, is congress the opposite of progress?

    Why they call the airport “a terminal” if flying is supposedly so safe?

    Who the first first person was to look at a cow and say, “I think I’ll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?”

    Who the first person was that said, “See that chicken there, I’m gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it’s bum?”

    Why the professor on Gilligan’s Island can make a radio out of coconut, but can’t he fix a hole in a boat?

    If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

    What do you call male ballerinas?

    If blind people can see their dreams? Do they dream??

    That if Wile E. Coyote from the Road Runner had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn’t he just buy dinner?

    If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

    If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

    If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

    Why the “Alphabet Song” and “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” have the same tune?

    Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

    Why do they call it an asteroid when it’s outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it’s on the outside of your ass?

    Why it is when you blow in a dog’s face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

    How come we put a man on the moon before realizing it would be a good idea to put wheels on suitcases?

    Why brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells are forever?

    How important someone has to be before they can be ‘assassinated’ rather than just plain ‘murdered’?

    How come “phonetically” is spelt with a “ph”?

    Why a round pizza gets delivered in a square box?

    Why people pay to go up in tall buildings, and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

    When you get to heaven / paradise / nirvana, are you stuck wearing whatever you were buried or cremated in forever?

    Why people say they “slept like a baby”, when babies normally wake up every two hours?

    Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?

    How do blind people know when they are done wiping?

    What would the speed of lightning be if it didn’t zigzag?

    Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but has to check when you say the paint is wet?

    Why is it that our children can’t read a Bible in school, but they can in prison?

    Why doesn’t glue stick to the bottle?

    Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

    Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?

    Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

    Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

    How come we choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

    Whose idea was it to put an “s” in the word “lisp”?

    Are there specially reserved parking spaces for “normal” people at the Special Olympics?

    If you send someone ‘Styrofoam’, how do you pack it?

    Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?

    What hair color do they put on the driver’s licenses of bald men?

    Why don’t women put pictures of missing husbands on beer cans?

    Do Lipton employees take coffee breaks?

    If someone with a split personality threatens to commit suicide, is it a hostage situation?

    If a man says something in the woods and there are no women there, is he still wrong?

    How do they get deer to cross the road only at those yellow road signs?

    Why did you give me your e-mail address in the first place?

    And I came across these pictures, should I say of some intersting people..You decide….

    Happy Thursday….
