"SOUTHERN MANNERS"
01.24.08 (8:49 pm) [edit]
Two nicely dressed ladies happen to start up a conversation during an endless wait in the LAX airport. The first lady was an arrogant California woman married to a wealthy man. The second was a well mannered elderly woman from the South.
When the conversation centered on whether they had any children, the California woman started by saying, "When my first child was born, my husband built a beautiful mansion for me."
The lady from the South commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman continued, "When my second child was born, my husband bought me a beautiful Mercedes-Benz."
Again, the lady from the South commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman continued boasting, "Then, when my third child was born, my husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet."
And a gain, the Southern lady commented, "Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman then asked the Southern lady, "What did your husband buy for you when you had your first child?"
"My husband sent me to charm school," declared the Southern lady.
"Charm school?" the first woman cried, "Oh my God! What on earth for?", asked the first woman.
The Southern lady responded, "Well for example, instead of saying "Who gives a shit?" I learned to say, "Well, isn't that precious?"
National Peanut Butter Day
01.24.08 (6:26 pm) [edit]
Today, January 24th is National Peanut Butter Day:
I love Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, they were my favorite sandwich as a kid and I still like them just as well today. The good news was to find out that peanuts or peanut butter is good for you.!
The Food and Drug Administration recently approved a health claim that maintains, “Diets containing one ounce of nuts per day can reduce your risk of heart disease.” That’s because over 80 percent of the fat in peanuts is derived from monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, both of which have been shown to lower blood cholesterol levels. In a study at Purdue University, people who ate 500 calories of peanuts a day (slightly more than half a cup) for eight weeks had a significant drop in their triglyceride levels (a risk factor for heart disease) while their intake of heart-healthy nutrients (folate, magnesium and fiber, for example) increased.

VISHING ATTACKS INCREASE
01.18.08 (10:11 am) [edit]
Are you one of many who have received an e-mail, text message, or telephone call, purportedly from your credit card/debit card company directing you to contact a telephone number to re-activate your card due to a security issue? The IC3 has received multiple reports on different variations of this scheme known as "vishing". These attacks against US financial institutions and consumers continue to rise at an alarming rate.
Vishing operates like phishing by persuading consumers to divulge their Personally Identifiable Information (PII), claiming their account was suspended, deactivated, or terminated. Recipients are directed to contact their bank via telephone number provided in the e-mail or by an automated recording. Upon calling the telephone number, the recipient is greeted with "Welcome to the bank of ..." and then requested to enter their card number in order to resolve a pending security issue.
For authenticity, some fraudulent e-mails claim the bank would never contact customers to obtain the PII by any means, including e-mail, mail, and instant messenger. These e-mails further warn recipients not to provide sensitive information when requested in an e-mail and not to click on embedded links, claiming they could contain "malicious software aimed at capturing login credentials."
Please beware; spam e-mails may actually contain malicious code (malware) which can harm your computer. Do not open any unsolicited e-mail and do not click on any links provided.
A new version recently reported involved the sending of text messages to cell phones claiming the recipient's on-line bank account has expired. The message instructs the recipient to renew their on-line bank account by using the link provided.
Due to rapidly evolving criminal methodologies, it is impossible to include every scenario. Therefore, be cognizant and protect your PII. Beware of e-mails, telephone calls, or text messages requesting your PII.
If you have a question concerning your account or credit/debit card, you should contact your bank using a telephone number obtained independently such as; from your statement, a telephone book, or another independent means.
If you have received this, or a similar hoax, please file a complaint at www.ic3.gov.

Tips On Pumping Gas
01.11.08 (12:06 am) [edit]
I don't know what you guys are paying for gasoline.... but here in California
we are also paying higher, up to $3.50 per gallon. These tips are from a friend
that worked in petroleum for about 31 years, so here are some tricks to get more of
your money's worth for every gallon..
Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where he work in San Jose , CA we deliver
about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day is
diesel the next day is jet fuel, and gasoline, regular and premium grades.
We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons.
Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground
temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their
storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the
gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon
or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum
business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel
and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role.
A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the
service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.
When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast
mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low,
middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby
minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at
the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of
the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being
sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less
One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF
FULL or HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your
tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster
than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating
roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the
atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, here
where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated so that
every gallon is actually the exact amount.
Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage
tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up--most likely the gasoline is
being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some
of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.
Hope this will help you get the most value for your money.
"Laus Deo"
01.10.08 (12:31 am) [edit]
One detail that is never mentioned is that in Washington , D.C. there can never be a building of greater height than the Washington Monument .
With all the uproar about removing the ten commandments, etc., this is worth a moment or two of your time. I was not aware of this amazing historica l information.
On the aluminum cap, atop the Washington Monument in Washington , D.C. , are displayed two words: Laus Deo.
No one can see these words. In fact, most visitors to the monument are totally unaware they are even there and for that matter, probably couldn't care less.
Once you know Laus Deo's history , you will want to share this with everyone you know. These words have been there for many years; they are 555 feet, 5.125 inches high, perched atop the monument, facing skyward to the Father of our nation, overlooking the 69 square miles which comprise the District of Columbia , capital of the United States of America .
Laus Deo! Two seemingly insignificant, unnoticed words. Out of sight and, one might think, out of mind, but very meaningfully placed at the highest point over what is the most powerful city in the most successful nation in the world.
So, what do those two words, in Latin, composed of just four syllables and only seven letters, possibly mean? Very simply, they say "Praise be to God!"
Though construction of this giant obelisk began in 1848, when James Polk was President of the United States , it was not until 1888 that the monument was inaugurated and opened to the public. It took twenty-five years to finally cap the memorial with a tribute to the Father of our nation, Laus Deo. "Praise be to God!"

Capricorn: Dec. 22-Jan. 20 / Flower: African violet
Once again, your hard work has paid off. This will be a month of celebration as you achieve a series of career and financial goals. Reward yourself and savor the moment. Next up? Assess your health and fitness goals. Pick an exercise buddy or decide to get fit as a family. You know you can do it.

A delicate family issue is front and center. Fret not, your powers of observation will help you come up with a unique solution that works for everyone. After that, your emotional energy will rebound and you’ll have time to count your blessings.
Pisces: Feb. 20-March 20 / Flower: Alstroemeria
Before the end of the year, formulate a strategy for eliminating psychic toxins from your life. It might be as simple as throwing out a photo album of bad memories or as complicated as ending a long-term relationship. It’s not too late to move forward; act now to forever mold your peace.
Aries: March 21-April 20 / Flower: Tulip
You might hate hearing this, but patience is a virtue. You will get what you want, but it may not be exactly on your timetable. Don’t be tempted to issue ultimatums or play mind games. Meanwhile, sign up for a yoga class, breathe, and dedicate your practice to patience.
Taurus: April 21-May 21 / Flower: Lily
Looking for more romance in your life? Then take matters into your own hands and get proactive. If you’re single, attend a speed-dating event and if you’re married, plan a date night. Either way, relax and enjoy the experience. By Dec. 10, you’ll face an interesting challenge on the job.
Gemini: May 22-June 21 / Flower: Rose
It’s time to take that risk. You’ve done the homework, you’ve weighed the pros and cons. Now you must act. You may experience feelings of loss in the short term. But bumps will subside and with change comes growth and fulfillment. Trust me, girl, you are bound to blossom.
Cancer: June 22-July 22 / Flower: Delphinium
You’ve had a hard few weeks, but tensions will ease, believe it or not. Hang in there! You can’t please everyone (even though you often try) so cultivate the art of compromise and try not to sweat the details. And you just might be in for a very pleasant financial surprise.
Leo: July 23- Aug. 22 / Flower: Sunflower
So much to do, so little time. There are never enough hours in the day for a creative soul. But that pie-in-the-sky project needs your attention. Don’t give in to procrastination or self-doubt. Draft a plan to make it happen; perhaps setting aside one hour per week. Onward!
Virgo: Aug. 23-Sept. 23 / Flower: Daisy
In this hectic holiday season, be sure to make time for yourself – book a massage or pedicure; some fresh flowers will preserve that tranquil spa vibe. At the end of the month, remember that it takes a lot of energy to hold a grudge. Forgive and forget is the best strategy.
Libra: Sept. 24-Oct. 23 / Flower: Hydrangea
Careerwise, use your natural charm. Attend industry events and understand that networking isn't about asking people for favors. Develop the relationship first, you’ll reap benefits down the road. On the romance front, play it cool. Nothing is more alluring than mystery.
Scorpio: Oct. 24-Nov. 22 / Flower: Peony
Choose your battles carefully, at home and at work. Not everyone is blessed with your energy and drive, so be understanding as those around you try to match your pace. Though she may not say it, a close friend needs your support. Ask her directly (but gently) what the problem is.
Sagittarius: Nov. 23-Dec. 21 / Flower: Carnation
Time to chill out, Ms. Sag! You’re gonna need your energy for your next big adventure. This is an excellent time to plan a trip. Fire sign that you are, you’re bound to blaze new trails. Also, an old romantic partner might make a surprise appearance – and being gone would be a good thing.
"Legs Broken To Gain Height"
01.06.08 (2:38 pm) [edit]
This was so interesting that I thought it was worth reposting:
Would you be willing to have your legs deliberately broken to gain a few extra inches in height if it would help you get a better job or husband? officials in China are warning their citizens against going through this very painful procedure that has grown in popularity there.
The procedure is called Ilizarov or leg lengthening. It involves having the legs broken and affixed to a frame, then the legs are stretched a little every day. the bones fuse together to cover the separated area. this procedure can lengthen height up to 4 ft. or more. It is considered a long term investment in their future.
This procedure was first performed on Dwarfs to help them live a more normal life. I see on the net that it is so popular that other countries like India are even offering it. There is a site with pictures of the apparatus, that was developed By Dr Ilizarov in 1950.

(Why I'm So Tired)
01.05.08 (1:16 am) [edit]
For a couple years I've been blaming it on iron-poor blood, lack of vitamins, dieting and a dozen other maladies. But now I found out the real reason. I'm tired because I'm overworked.
The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work.
Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government. This leaves 19 million to do the work.
