Beautiful Women Month

10.30.09 (12:51 am)   [edit]

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman
With time, only grows...

Sexual Fetish

10.28.09 (10:09 am)   [edit]


Last month a man scammed a woman into coming to his house
and changing his diaper for $300 a week, she thought that she was
caring for his disabled brother.

When she found out the truth she reported him, the police said what
 he did was not illegal because he paid her for a service.

A few other fetishes

 Amputee fetish,is when a person makes amputees their object for sexual gratification

Emetophilias is turned on by  vomit or throwing up, especially on the  sexual partner.

 Urophilia fetishists love to pee in public, pee on somebody, or get peed on.

 Klismaphilia are those who enjoy getting and administering enemas.

 Necrophilia like to make love to dead people.

 Anthropophagolagni rape their victims, then eat them.

There are a lot more, but you get the picture of what turns
some people on.


Prevent Swine Flu

10.27.09 (10:24 pm)   [edit]
        
> The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.
>         

> While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):
>         

>  1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).
>         
>  2. "Hands-off-the-face& quot; approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).
>         
>  3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt). *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected o ne.. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.
>         

> 4. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water. *Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but *blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population..*
>         
>
> 5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla and other citrus fruits). *If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.
>                 
> 6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. *Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.
>         
> I suggest you pass this on to your entire e-list.  You never know who might pay attention to it - and STAY ALIVE because of it.

Flaw in Women

10.27.09 (2:21 am)   [edit]
One Flaw In Women 
   
    Women  have strengths that amaze men.
   
    They bear hardships and  they carry burdens,
   
    but they hold happiness, love and  joy.
   
    They smile when they want to scream..
   
    They  sing when they want to cry.
   
    They cry when they are happy 
   
    and laugh when they are nervous.
   
    They fight for  what they believe in.
   
    They stand up to injustice. 
   
    They don't take "no" for an answer
   
    when they  believe there is a better solution.
   
    They go without so  their family can have.
   
    They go to the doctor with a  frightened friend.
   
    They love unconditionally. 
   
    They cry when their children excel
   
    and cheer  when their friends get awards.
   
    They are happy when they  hear about
   
    a birth or a wedding.
   
    Their hearts  break when a friend dies.
   
    They grieve at the loss of a  family member,
   
    yet they are strong when they 
   
    think there is no strength left.
   
    They know that  a hug and a kiss
   
    can heal a broken heart.
   
    Women  come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
   
    They'll drive,  fly, walk, run or e-mail you
   
    to show how much they care  about you.
   
    The heart of a woman is what
   
    makes  the world keep turning.
   
    They bring joy, hope and love. 
   
    They have compassion and ideas.
   
    They give moral  support to their
   
    family and friends.
   
    Women have  vital things to say
   
    and everything to give. 
   
    HOWEVER, IF  THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
   
    IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR  WORTH.

Clotheslines Are Banned

10.18.09 (8:08 pm)   [edit]

 

<Photobucket

Families all over the nation seek out different ways to save money by using less energy, many have decided to return to hanging their clothes outside to dry them. However, many have met with great disappointment when homeowner's associations and community management services have told them the lines are not allowed.

Hanging clotheslines is against the rules in so many communities nationwide that state governments are being forced to step in and make it against the law to ban them. And states like Vermont and Utah have already succeeded. But the fight for the right to hang clotheslines is just getting started."

Using an electric clothes drier can account for up to 10% of a household's total energy use, and the EPA and other environmental organizations concerned with energy conservation and energy efficiency have been telling people to purchase Energy Star appliances for years. While this is a good idea on paper, many people aren't financially able to simply go out and upgrade to a fancy new washer and dryer. However, they are being told they can't have simple outdoor clotheslines, which are much cheaper and carbon neutral.

The reason for this clothesline predjudice, at least according to the ones making the rules, is that hanging clothes is unsightly, offensive, and causes property values to drop.


While hanging clothes all over your trees and bushes might not be the best way to make friends with the neighbors, you can hardly call a few t-shirts and pairs of jeans flapping in the breeze an offensive practice...or can you?

California Homeowners Associations, told Legal Affairs magazine that a clothesline in a neighborhood can lower property values by 15 percent: "Modern homeowners don't like people's underwear in public. It's just unsightly."

What do you think?

Don't Be A Cheat

10.15.09 (2:42 am)   [edit]
 
I was surprised at the number of tax cheats hiding money in other countries.
So far 7,500 have applied for an amnesty program that promises no jail time
 and reduced penalties for tax cheats who come forward.

Money was hidden in more than 70 countries ranging from $10,000 to more
than $100 million.

The IRS policy is that those who come forward before they are contacted by
the agency usually can avoid jail time as long as they agree to pay back taxes,
interest and hefty penalties.Drug dealers need not apply.

In an average year Fewer than 100 people apply for the program.

Tax cheaters are taking Obama seriously that he is cracking down on
 Americans who evade taxes .

Most of the money came from inheritances, profits skimmed from U.S.
companies and profits earned overseas. Some of the tax cheats had single
accounts while others had multiple accounts in different countries. Some
set up corporations to make it harder to identify them.

Next the IRS will use information from the tax cheats who have come forward
to go after bankers and tax advisers who helped them hide assets.

 A lot of calls from nervous tax dodgers are coming in as the deadline approach.

 It's estimated the U.S. loses $100 billion a year in tax revenue because of
international tax cheats.


I don't have any money hidden away but if you do, now is the time to Fess Up.

Feel Your Bobbies

10.13.09 (11:03 am)   [edit]
Photobucket IT'S NATIONAL FEEL YOUR BOBBIES WEEK OCT. 9-16th

Feel Your Boobies is a campaign that utilizes unexpected and unconventional methods to remind young women to "feel their boobies".


What exactly does unexpected mean? Well, it means you probably won’t see a “feel your boobies” brochure at the doctor’s office…but you sure as heck might pass the Boobies Bus® on the freeway, or you might be laying at the beach and see an airplane towing a banner with our logo during our Boobies @ the Beach promotion.


"Feel Your Boobies" may seem simply like a fun and provocative slogan, but it's really asking “Are You Doing It?”® – well….are you?

 

You can get a free feel your boobie sticker here.

Hoarding Is A Sickness

10.12.09 (3:53 am)   [edit]
I have been watching the show on hoarders and I am just amazed
that people actually live like that.

Hoarding is a sickness.

 A  woman in England's home was so crammed to the ceiling when she died that rescuers made five passes through the clutter before locating her body under stacks of goods that had fallen on her.

Hoarding is and inability to discard worthless items even though they appear (to others) to have no value.

  Hoarding is a type of OCD, they experience significant distress from their hoarding.

An estimated 700,000 to 1.4 million people in the United States are believed to have compulsive hoarding syndrome.

People with compulsive hoarding syndrome have difficulty throwing anything away, from the oldest paper clip, to a used food container, to an out-of-date newspaper, for fear that they might need those items in the future.

Their homes are often full of stuff that the rest of us would call "junk."

 People with compulsive hoarding syndrome do not like to make mistakes. To prevent making a mistake, they will avoid or postpone making decisions.

Even the smallest task, such as washing dishes or checking mail may take a long time because it has to be done "right." The net result of these high standards and the fear of making a mistake is that compulsive hoarders avoid doing many tasks, because everything becomes tedious and overwhelming.

Many of these people have their children taken away because of the clutter.this a really serious condition that requires a lot of help.

I only know one friend like that and she has been threatened with eviction more then once.

It is a sad situation.

Don't wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.

must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must
commit themselves to the glories of love.''

When Your Hut's On Fire

10.01.09 (11:47 pm)   [edit]
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small,
Uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he
 scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to
Protect himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions. One
day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in
 flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had
 happened, and everything was lost. He was
stunned with disbelief,
 grief, and anger. He cried out, 'God! How could you do this to me?'
 Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship
Approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! 'How did you know I was
here?' asked the weary man of his rescuers. 'We saw your smoke signal,'
They replied.
  
 The Moral of This Story : It's easy to get discouraged when things
Are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in
Our lives, even in the midst of our pain and suffering. Remember that
The next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It
Just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God.
