Why Do people start stupid rumors?

The latest rumor circulating on the net now is that President Bush is the Anti-Christ, and that in two weeks he will attack Iran an no election will be held next year because Bush will declare marshall law to be President  indefinitely.

Now that's a scary thought.
 

Have you heard of the latest thing in toilet training? I was surprised to find out that some mothers are potty training their children  from birth.

The practice is called diaperless potty training, the baby doesn't wear diapers at all, the only problem that the mothers say they have is finding tiny panties  for them to wear.

When the child wants to go to the bathroom, one signal used was the child was trained to clasp his right hand around his wrist to signal that he needed to go.

 "There is a new diaper-free " movement founded on the belief that babies are born with an instintive ability to signal when they have to potty. Parents who practice this have to learn their childs body language and mimic the sound that the child associates with having to go.

One woman that began toilet training her son at birth  said he has not wet his bed at night since he was six months old.

This practice is common in many parts of rural Africa and Asia where parents cannot afford diapers so it is not unheard of.

10. I was trying to keep up with traffic. I know there are no other cars around. That's how far ahead of me they are.

We are playing a fun game on soulcast called snakes an ladders, I don't know why it's called that, but it's easy to play...

It goes like this.....I say a sentence...you say one starting with the last word....I'll start it off:

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you...

* Share everything.
* Play fair.
* Don't hit people.
* Put things back where you found them.
* Clean up your own mess.
* Don't take things that aren't yours.
* Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
* Wash your hands before you eat.
* Flush.
* Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
* Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
* Take a nap every afternoon.
* When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
* Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
* Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.

* And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.

Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.

 Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.

And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

Have you heard the story of a young woman who was visiting her inlaws, and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that her eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and she replied that she'd been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.

The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and she refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that she had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head.

A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid.

This is another funny story that has circulated the net for years, not sure that it happened this way, but story did contain the biscuit dough.

  "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.
  
   
   Every morning when you wake up. you have a choice; you can
   spend the day in bed
   recounting the difficulties of the past day
   
   or get out of bed and be thankful for this one.
   

   Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open,
   I'll focus on the new day
   and all the happy memories I've stored away. 
  

   Life is like a bank account. You withdraw from it
   what you've put in.

   So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of
   happiness in the bank
   account of memories! Thank you for your part in
   filling my Memory bank. I
   am still depositing." Remember the five simple rules
   to be happy:

   1. Free your heart from hatred.
   2. Free your mind from worries.
   3. Live simply.
   4. Give more.
   5. Expect less.

No wonder men are happier


Send this to the women who can handle it and to the men who will enjoy
reading it.

I am getting very excited friends, on Sun. the 12th, I will be missing for a week, we are going on a family cruise.We are taking the 7 day Mexican Riviera cruise  I need a vacation and I am ready looking forward to it. I am going to miss you all.

Don't be surprised if you see me back on during the week, they have an internet cafe on board so I know I will be checking it out.

When is it good to be a good semaritan? I read the story today about the paraplegic who had his wheelchair to accidentally tip over when it lost a wheel throwing him to the pavement, even though many people saw him fall  not one person stopped and tried to help this poor man. He was finally able to pull himself up and when he mooned the next car coming, that person called the police and he got the help needed.

How do you pass someone that you know clearly needs help? It was stated that most people passed because they assumed someone else would stop and help, to me that is ridiculous, if I couldn't help him up I sure would call for help.

Another theory is that most people don't want to help because if something happened while you were assisting the person, you could get sued.This has happened also. A friend was following her friend in a car when the friend hit a pole, the other friend ran and helped her out of the car, the lady ended up paralyzed, she blamed her friend because she said the injury happened when she was pulled out of the car like a rag doll. the other lawyer said it was due to the accident.

This is why the Good Semaritan law was passed:

The good samaritan doctrine as it is legally known, is a legal principle that prevents a rescuer who has voluntarily helped a victim in distress from being successfully sued for 'wrongdoing.' Its purpose is to keep people from being so reluctant to help a stranger in need for fear of legal repercussions if they made some mistake in treatment. Therefore, this doctrine was primarily developed for first aid encounters and every state does have its own adaptation of it. However, the crucial points are about the same.

FBI CONTINUES TO ASSIST IN BRIDGE COLLAPSE INVESTIGATION

This is a public service message from the FBI:

In recent history, tragic incidents such as 9/11, hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and the Virginia Tech shootings have all prompted individuals with criminal intent to solicit for contributions for a charitable organization and/or a good cause. Consumers should consider the following:

Do not respond to unsolicited (SPAM) e-mail.
Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as officials soliciting via e-mail for donations.
Do not click on links contained within an unsolicited e-mail.
Be cautious of e-mail claiming to contain pictures in attached files, as the files may contain viruses. Only open attachments from known senders.
To ensure contributions are received and used for intended purposes, make contributions directly to recognized organizations rather than relying on others to make the donation on your behalf.
Validate the legitimacy of the organization by directly accessing the recognized charity or aid organization's website rather than following an alleged link to the site.
Attempt to verify the legitimacy of the non-profit status of the organization by using various Internet-based resources, which also may assist in confirming the actual existence of the organization.
Do not provide personal or financial information to anyone who solicits contributions: providing such information may compromise your identity and open you to identity theft.

While officials at many levels marshal their resources to investigate, recover and do all that is needed in the horrendous tragedy that took place in Minneapolis yesterday, we must marshal our forces and pray.

In a speech this morning, President Bush said, “I told them we would help with rescue efforts, but I also told them how much we are in prayer for those who suffered. And I thank my fellow citizens for holding up those who are suffering right now in prayer.”

”Pray. Just pray,” said Jessica and Anne Engebretsen, adopted daughters of Sherrie Engebretsen, still missing.

Another woman, upon learning that her sister who she believed dead was, in fact, alive said, “I feel more peace than I’ve felt in years. God does answer prayers!”

It is for times like this that The Presidential Prayer Team exists! Please join me in prayer for the good people of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Let’s pray around these prayer points and any others you consider important:

• Comfort for family members who have lost loved ones.
• Healing for those who are injured.
• Peace for those who await news of a missing loved one.
• Wisdom, safety and protection for officials executing recovery work.
• Investigators seeking to discern what happened so as to prevent future tragedies.
• Wisdom and guidance for officials providing support and leadership including:
  • Mary Peters, Secretary of Transportation
  • Mark Rosenker, Chairman, National Transportation Safety Board
  • Tim Pawlenty, Governor of Minnesota
  • R.T. Rybak, Mayor of Minneapolis
  • Jim Clack, Fire Chief of Minneapolis
  • Tim Dolan, Police Chief of Minneapolis
  • Paramedics, EMTs and hospital personnel
  • Search crews seeking to recover missing persons

I invite you to post your prayers for the people in Minneapolis on PPT's Prayer Wall.

Thank you for your prayers. Let’s look to the Lord God with expectancy and hope as we lift up all who are impacted

I am really shook up over watching the tragedy of the bridge falling in Minn. while watching the coverage, they did a report on people's fear of crossing bridges. Some peopple are so fearfull that they either avoid them are pay someone to drive them across. After seeing how this bridge collasped, I think that it will just get worse.

I Have to admit that I am one of those people, I have a real fear of heights and I am not so bad that I can't go across, but I do prefer that someone else is driving. the bridge that bother me the most is the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco, also the Coronado bride in San Diego.

I checked to see if their is a name for this fear, this is the definition.

Fear of crossing bridges is a relatively common phobia although most people with it do not know they have something called "gephyrophobia." However, the derivation of the word "gephyrophobia" is perfectly straightforward (if you know Greek); it is derived from the Greek words "gephyra" (bridge) and "phobos" (fear).
 Sufferers of this phobia experience undue anxiety even though they realize their fear is irrational. Their fear may result partly from the fear of enclosure (claustrophobia) or the fear of heights (acrophobia).

If you want a house for free and you live in or near Tennessee, A church is giving away a house that's worth about $30,000, the only catch is that you have to pay someone to move it.

Apparently the house used to be a parsonage, which is the house for the Pastor of the church. This house has been empty for 13 years, it blocks the view of the church, they can't afford to have it moved so they are giving it away. I think that this is great because they could have it torn down.

So check out the story if you are interested.
