2/28/2009 a little fun2/21/2009 It could happen todayI hope this does not happen to you
But just in case
Let's say it's 6.15pm and you're driving home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, and frustrated…… YOU ARE REALLY STRESSED AND UPSET …. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far WHAT TO DO ??? YOU HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN CPR, BUT THE GUY THAT CONDUCTED THE COURSE DID NOT TELL YOU HOW TO PERFORM IT ON YOURSELF !!! HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE? SINCE MANY PEOPLE ARE ALONE WHEN THEY SUFFER A HEART ATTACK, WITHOUT HELP, THE PERSON WHOSE HEART IS BEATING IMPROPERLY AND WHO BEGINS TO FEEL FAINT, HAS ONLY ABOUT 10 SECONDS LEFT BEFORE LOSING CONSCIOUS WHAT TO DO ?? ANSWER: DO NOT PANIC, BUT START COUGHING REPEATEDLY AND VERY VIGOROUSLY. A DEEP BREATH SHOULD BE TAKEN BEFORE EACH COUGH, THE COUGH MUST BE DEEP AND PROLONGED, AS WHEN PRODUCING SPUTUM FROM DEEP INSIDE THE CHEST. A BREATH AND A COUGH MUST BE REPEATED ABOUT EVERY TWO SECONDS WITHOUT LET-UP UNTIL HELP ARRIVES, OR UNTIL THE HEART IS FELT TO BE BEATING NORMALLY AGAIN. DEEP BREATHS GET OXYGEN INTO THE LUNGS AND COUGHING MOVEMENTS SQUEEZE THE HEART AND KEEP THE BLOOD CIRCULATING. THE SQUEEZING PRESSURE ON THE HEART ALSO HELPS IT REGAIN NORMAL RHYTHM. IN THIS WAY, HEART ATTACK VICTIMS CAN GET TO A HOSPITAL ARTICLE PUBLISHED ON N.º 240 OF JOURNAL OF GENERAL HOSPITAL ROCHESTER TELL AS MANY OTHER PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE ABOUT THIS. IT COULD SAVE THEIR LIVES !!! DON'T EVER THINK THAT YOU ARE NOT PRONE TO HEART ATTACK AS YOUR AGE IS LESS THAN 25 OR 30. NOWADAYS DUE TO THE CHANGE IN THE LIFE STYLE, HEARTATTACK IS FOUND AMONG PEOPLE OF ALL AGE GROUPS. BE A FRIEND AND PLEASE SEND THIS ARTICLE TO AS MANY FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE Some good info here

I hope this has been of use for someone even jusy one person then it was worth my while putting this on my blog so heres hopeing it was all the best Sheila & Mike 2/15/2009 The way it used to beCONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE
1920's, 30's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!! First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses full of asbestos.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese & tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer. Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took cadging lifts.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. A trip to the beach on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the stream and NOT from a bottle. Take away food was limited to fish and chips, no pizza shops, McDonalds, KFC, Subway or Kebabs.
Even though all the shops closed at 6.00pm and only opened for a few hours at weekends, somehow we didn't starve to death! We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. We could collect old drink bottles and cash them in at the corner shop and buy fruit Spangles and some bangers to blow up frogs with. We ate buns, white bread and real butter and drank soft drinks with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because...... WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!! We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No mobile phones - no one was able to reach us all day. And we were always O.K. We would spend hours building our trolleys out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. We built tree houses and dens and played in streams with matchbox cars. We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on Sky, no video tape or DVD movies, no surround sound, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........We listened to plays on the radio while sitting around the fire. No central heating! WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them! Pre: late 1950's We had NO TV, and no Fridges - imagine that! And lino on the bedroom floors - no carpets! We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no Lawsuits from these accidents. Only girls had pierced ears!
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. You could only buy Easter Eggs and Hot Cross buns at Easter time.......no really!
We had air guns and catapults for our birthdays,
We drank milk laced with Strontium 90 from cows that had eaten grass covered in nuclear fallout from the atomic testing. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them from the street!
Mum didn't have to go to work to help dad make ends meet!
Mum & dad didn't need Brandy, Whisky whatever when they came in from work! A cup of tea sufficed! Footy had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! Our teachers used to belt us with big sticks and leather straps and bully's always ruled the playground at school.
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good. And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were. Kind
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 70 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL! of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?! PS -The big type is because your eyes are shot at your age! 2/14/2009 Saturday nightWell it's Saturday once again
I shouldn't wish my life away like this but I do long for week ends because I get so bored now going to work I guess I am ready now for my retirement but hey I have a few years yet unless I can bag the big lottery but well I guess not much chance of that not sure what the odds are but I know they are very small I was told once that the odds are nearly equal to being knocked over Well I am lucky enough for that so who knows maybe I will be the nexed winner but I will prob get knocked over just after I pick up my cheque lol. I wonder where all my Family are not one online I guess they have all gone out for Valentines day I tell Sheila that I am not sending cards for this anymore to each other and feel guilty every year as we always bought each other a card and a present but I think its just another money making thing it's ok if it's used for the way it was started when you wanted to tell someone that you fancied them and didn't know how or don't want them to know but now days they send one and then say where's mine lol I did get a letter today from a company telling me if I don't’ pay three hundred pounds in the nexed seven days they will send the bailiffs in to collect something to the value .not sure what to do yet as the person that owes the money doesn't live in my house and never has,I have written to this company and phoned them but I still get this sort of letter,I would like to get them in trouble now if I can because this is harassment as far as I am concerned not sure how I stand really that's why I wanted to get in touch with my son as he isn't behind the door on this sort of thing and as my daughter in law works for the police she will probably be able to help me but no answer from the phone and none of them online so yep all gone out for the day. My Sheila has gone to her Bingo she loves it twice a week sometimes wins sometimes not doesn't matter she gets out for a few hours with her mates and enjoys herself . Not like me I cant enjoy myself these days not going out I just like to play around on my PC and read or sometimes practice my relaxation tapes see how deep I can go in a meditative state or am I just sleeping lol no matter what it's doing me good not as tired and much calmer blood pressure is still down so its a hobby worth pursuing a little longer I think. What about Australia with the fires what makes it worse they think some of it was done on purpose What a horrible thing to do I am sure the people who did this only meant to burn some grass or claim so insurance but they have now turned into murderers so sad for all the Australian people in fact for us all But i was wondering the houses that have been burned look as though they are made of wood and plaster is that the case I mean when a house is burned badly in the UK its still standing in most cases but burnt out inside so why are the housed mainly of wooden frame I notice that the chimney stacks are still intact but of brick .maybe they should be looking ast a better way of building if the fires are regular its definitely something that should be looked into. Well now I have a good PC I want to get into video editing I used to like playing around with that before but my PC was not up to it this one is but I cat afford the good software I need always something standing in my way or is this a excuse on my part for being lazy I wonder.I have just setup my old printer I have a HP psc 750 its been a very good printer for me it is a printer scanner and a fax machine all in one ,I put it away years ago because i couldn't get it to work very well with my new PC and when windows changed to the first vista it went haywire even when i tried to download new drivers it never really worked. I reinstalled it ontomy new PC and it works great the software that came with it doesn't work but all the drivers are ok now and it scans and prints fine even the ink in it was still ok well for printing documents i have not tried a picture yet ,but i have been asked to put some picture on my facebook by my nephew of my parents as he only has old ones so ill give it a go at scanning pictures see how it does and ill put them on facebook for him. He put a picture on his facebook of a I was going to say tortoise but this one lives in water turtle is it he has had it for thirty one years it lives on cat meat and worms and it is as big as his hand and he is a big lad so looks good for its age not sure how long they live but it must be a old man by now or woman .

DON'T FORGET TO SHARE THIS 2/8/2009 You should listenDon't talk to my parrot ..
Wanda's dishwasher quit working so she called in a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman, 'I'll leave the key under the mat Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you a check. Oh, by the way don't worry about my dog Spike. He won't bother you.'
 'But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!'
'I MUST STRESS TO YOU: DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!'
 When the repairman arrived at Wanda's apartment the following day, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking dog he has ever seen. But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his work.
The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling.
Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled,
'Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!' To which the parrot replied,
'Get him Spike!' 2/7/2009 secure noticeSubject: SECURITY- Differences Between http and https
THIS IS IMPORTANT..............................
What is the difference between http and https?
FIRST MANY PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE OF **The main difference between http:// and https:// is It's all about keeping you secure**
HTTP stands for HyperText Transport Protocol,
which is just a fancy way of saying it's a protocol
(a language, in a manner of speaking) for data to
be passed back and forth between web servers and
clients.
The important thing is the letter 'S' which
makes the difference between HTTP and HTTPS.
The S (big surprise) stands for "Secure".
If you visit a website or webpage, and look at the
address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://.
This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular 'unsecure' language. In other words,
it is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site
. This is why you
never -ever- enter your credit card number in an
http website!
But if the web address begins with https://, that basically means your computer is talking to the
website in a secure code that no one can eavesdrop on. You understand why this is so important, right?
If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card
information, you should automatically look to see
if the web address begins with https://.
If it doesn't, there's no way you're going to enter
sensitive information like a credit card number.
PASS IT ON
(You may save someone a lot of grief) |
