November 30 Indianapolis doctor's letter to Sen. Bayh
Having served, and now serving, our great country, we must look at
our president, and probably 98% of our congress, and senate,who
have never served a day in defense of our country, but who are
trying to completely control it. And will ultimately destroy it !!
After reading these many pages, as the Doctor says,, if the bills being worked on
are passed, it will be a disaster, plain, and simple !!!
It would seem our government thinks we are a bunch of idiots !!
An Indianapolis doctor's letter to Sen. Bayh about the Bill (Note: Dr. Stephen E. Frazer, MD practices as an anesthesiologist in Indianapolis , IN )
Here is a letter I sent to Senator Bayh. Feel free to copy it and send it around to all other representatives. -- Stephen Fraser
Senator Bayh,
As a practicing physician I have major concerns with the health care bill before Congress. I actually have read the bill and am shocked by the brazenness of the government's proposed involvement in the patient-physician relationship. The very idea that the government will dictate and ration patient care is dangerous and certainly not helpful in designing a health care system that works for all. Every physician I work with agrees that we need to fix our health care system, but the proposed bills currently making their way through congress will be a disaster if passed.
I ask you respectfully and as a patriotic American to look at the following troubling lines that I have read in the bill. You cannot possibly believe that these proposals are in the best interests of the country and our fellow citizens.

Respectfully,
Stephen E. Fraser, MD
Dear Reader,
I urge you to use the power that you were born with (and the power that may soon be taken away) and circulate this email to as many people as you can reach. The Power of the People can stop this from happening to us, our parents, our grandparents, our children, and to following generations.
DEAR ABBY ADMITTED SHE WAS AT A LOSS FOR WORDS TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:
Dear Abby,
A couple of women moved in across the hall from me. One is a middle-aged gym teacher and the other is a social worker in her mid twenties. These two women go everywhere together, and I've never seen a man go into or leave their apartment. Do you think they could be Lebanese?
Dear Abby,
What can I do about all the Sex, Nudity, Fowl Language and Violence on my VCR?
Dear Abby,
I have a man I can't trust. He cheats so much, I'm not even sure the baby I'm carrying is his.
Dear Abby,
I am a twenty-three year old liberated woman who has been on the pill for two years. It's getting expensive and I think my boyfriend should share half the cost, but I don't know him well enough to discuss money with him.
Dear Abby,
I've suspected that my husband has been fooling around, and when confronted with the evidence, he denied everything and said it would never happen again.
Dear Abby,
Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy who was raised in a good Christian home turn against his own?
Dear Abby,
I joined the Navy to see the world. I've seen it. Now how do I get out?
Dear Abby,
My forty year old son has been paying a psychiatrist $50..00 an hour every week for two and a half years. He must be crazy.
Dear Abby,
I was married to Bill for three months and I didn't know he drank until one night he came home sober.
Dear Abby,
My mother is mean and short tempered I think she is going through mental pause.
Dear Abby,
You told some woman whose husband had lost all interest in sex to send him to a doctor. Well, my husband lost all interest in sex and he is a doctor. Now what do I do?
Remember, these people can vote!!

You Can… Leave Your Abusive Relationship!
Leaving an abusive relationship can be hard. It is not easy as one thinks. Once you are in an abusive relationship it is like a trap that has no open ends to it. However, after being in an abusive relationship and escaping, I thought I could perhaps write something about it. I still see so many women or even men for that matter (Abuse happens to both genders) staying in their relationships because they feel like they have no way out. I just wanted to say it is possible and there are people wanting and willing to help.
I am a person that will be there for those who need help. My contact information to send me a message is available 24/7. I can’t fix always the situation, but I can try, and be a friend that listens. Always remember you have have options and YOU ARE NEVER EVER TRAPPED!
One other thing before I start, abusive relationship is a broader subject, it could be a marriage, a teen relationship or an adult relationship. The information given below is just the general information on some of the things you can do to be leaving from an abusive relationship.
First step would be meeting a Confidant
You might know someone who you trusts, could be close to you or could be some one who you have known in years and maintain a professional relationship. The first fact should be, who ever is your confidant make sure that he does not know or have any ties with a person you are in relationship with. It can cause a great damage if you have trusts a confidant who probably knows your relationship status.
Personal belongings
Most of abusive relationships have greater ties with personal belongings. This could either mean money or apartment or something that has placed you both together in this relationship. Often with the abusive relationship these things become a matter of subject. If none of the above mentioned are reasons to your ties in a relationship than the answer is simple, if not than read the following paragraph.
Seek an attorney or take legal advice
Take your confidant to meet up with an attorney in case of money matters or apartment matters. It is important to take legal advice. What are the pro's and con's if you decide to leave and have a partnership in a bank account or you have bought the house together but it is under your name? These are important questions to consider and so it is advisable to take legal help or sort legal advice to help you make a smoother transition of leaving this relationship.
Pack your belongings
Without telling your partner, seek the help of the confidant to help you pack up your belongings in the absence of your partner. There should be no indication shown to give away your intentions of leaving. There was one case, when the partner almost committed a murder because they did not wanted the victim partner to leave. It is a matter of security for the abusive partner too and in no way they want to let go of it. So carelessness is out of question in this matter, one has to be wise and smoothly leave the place. You can leave a letter, but make sure that you do not sign the letter or else you never know it could be a written confirmation and might end up in some other case.
Leave the town if Possible
If it is possible than it would be easier to leave the town. You might want to leave with some of your friend for few days to get a secure feeling or have some one to help you through. In this case, Confidant would be a right person but it depends on the relationship you share with your Confidant.
Transitioning into not being in a abusive relationship
This will be hard for you. You will have to persevere through the hard time. In this case, it is helpful to talk to some one you trusts or if you are a student go and meet up with your school counselor. You will be depressed for first few months, but the counselor or your helper might take you through the steps of helping you fit in back in to the normal schedule of time. This isn't going to be easy so bear that in mind. There will be times when you might want to go back to the same person, due to various reasons. People do that, but remember the reasons in the first place you left the abusive relationship.
General tips to help you through with the depression:
1. Try Exercising (Yoga or some kind of positive meditation)
2. Find a Job
3. If you are a student, try and refresh your mind by studying and saying positive things to yourself.
4.Hang out with your friends who you trusts
5.Find some thing to do which really excites you and makes you happy
6.Try something new in life
7.Stay away from relationship for a while
8.Recite positive attributes about yourself
9.Volunteer an organization
**These are just general tips that are given to people who have left abusive relationships** November 25
IT’S GREAT WHEN A 95 YR OLD
HAS THE ----- TO TELL IT LIKE

November 20, 2009
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the headman. So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish. I can't figure out what country you are the president of. You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like: " We're no longer a Christian nation " America is arrogant" - (Your wife even announced to the world," America is mean-spirited. "Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)
I'd say shame on the both of you but I don't think you like America nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House. After 9/11 you said," America hasn't lived up to her ideals." Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around because we stand for freedom. I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man. Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue .You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves. And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president. You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle. Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes

I guess this how to repay your friends for helping you....waste your tax dollars... November 14
Barefoot Angel
Barefoot and dirty, the little girl just sat in the park and watched people go by. She never tried to speak, she never said a word. Many people passed, but not one person glanced her way, no one stopped, including me.
The next day I decided to go back to the park, curious if the little girl would still be there. Right in the very spot she was yesterday, she sat perched on high, with the saddest look in her eyes.
But today I could not just walk away, concerned only with my affairs. I found myself walking over to the little girl. For as we all know, a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play alone.
As I began walking towards her, I could see the back of the little girl's dress indicated a deformity. I figured that was the reason the people just passed by and made no effort to care. As I got closer, the little girl slightly lowered her eyes to avoid my intent stare. I could see the shape of her back more clearly. It was grotesquely shaped in a humped over form.
I smiled to let her know it was okay, I was there to help, to talk. I sat down beside her and opened with a simple "hello."
The little girl acted shocked and stammered a "hi" after a long stare into my eyes. I smiled and she shyly smiled back.
We talked 'til darkness fell and the park was completely empty. Everyone was gone and we were alone. I asked the girl why she was so sad. The little girl looked at me and said, "Because I am different."
I immediately said, "That you are!" and smiled. The little girl acted even sadder, she said, "I know."
"Little girl," I said, "you remind me of an angel, sweet and innocent." She looked at me and smiled slowly, she stood to her feet and said "Really?"
"Yes, dear, you're like a little guardian angel sent to watch over all those people walking by." She nodded her head, "yes,"' and smiled, and with that she spread her wings and said, "I am. I'm your guardian angel," with a twinkle in her eye.
I was speechless, sure I was seeing things. She said, "And when you began thinking of someone other than yourself, my job here was done."
Immediately I stood to my feet and said, "Wait, so why did no one else stop to help an angel?" She looked at me and smiled, "You're the only one who could see me," and she was gone. When you think you're all you have; remember, your angel is always watching over you.
<>< Author Known to God ><> November 12 Barak Obama meets with the Queen of England. He asks her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?"
"Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."
Obama frowns "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?"
The Queen takes a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy. You just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle."
The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"
Tony Blair walks into the room. "Yes, my Queen?"
The Queen smiles. "Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?" Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, "That would be me." "Yes! Very good," says the Queen.
Obama goes back home to ask Joe Biden, his vice president, the same question.
"Joe. Answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"
"I'm not sure," says Biden. "Let me get back to you on that one." He goes to his advisors and asks every one, but none can give him an answer. Finally, he ends up in the men's room and recognizes Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall. Biden asks Powell, "Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Colin Powell yells back, "That's easy. It's me!"
Biden smiles, and says, "Thanks!" Then, he goes back to speak with Obama. "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Colin Powell."
Obama gets up, stomps over to Biden, and angrily yells into his face, "No, you idiot! It's Tony Blair!"

Curtis and Leroy saw an ad in the Starkville Daily News Newspaper in Starkville, MS and bought a mule for $100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day.
The next morning the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night."
Curtis and Leroy replied, "Well, then just give us our money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
They said, "OK then, just bring us the dead mule."
The farmer asked, "What in the world ya'll gonna do with a dead mule?"
Curtis said, "We gonna raffle him off."
The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead mule!"
Leroy said, "We shore can! Heck, we don't hafta tell nobody he's dead!"
A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis and Leroy at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store and asked:
"What'd you fellers ever do with that dead mule?"
They said, "We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do."
Leroy said, "Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898."
The farmer said,"My Lord, didn't anyone complain?"
Curtis said, "Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back."
Curtis and Leroy now work for the government.
They're overseeing the Bailout Program.
Limit all U.S. politicians to two terms:
One in office,
One in prison!
Illinois already does this!

Was on The Wall Street Journal's website. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203863204574346610120524166.html - and you didn't see this in the media - except for Fox "Today, even though President Obama is against off shore drilling for oil for this country, he signed an executive order to loan 2 Billion of our taxpayers dollars to a Brazilian Oil Exploration Company (which is the 8th largest company in the entire world) to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil. The oil that comes from this operation is for the sole purpose and use of China and not the USA . The Chinese government is under contract to purchase all the oil that this oil field will produce, which is hundreds of millions of barrels of oil". America has absolutely no gain from this transaction whatsoever. Guess who is the largest individual stockholder of this Brazilian Oil Company and who would benefit most from this? It is American Billionaire, George Soros, Liberal businessman who is a radical left wing supporter and was President Obama's largest and most generous supporter during his campaign. Not a word of this transaction was on any of the other news networks. Forward this factual e-mail to others who care about this country and where it is going. Also, let all of your Government representatives know how you feel about this. November 07

I apologize for the length of this page, however, I share this information to allow you to get to know who is asking you to help spread abuse and violence awareness issues. My hope is that by the end of this page, you will know in your heart this book is importance to me.
Please excuse the grammar and spelling mistakes. I do not have an editor for this page, but I assure you I will have one for the book.

I am the mother of three adult children, and a grand-mother of seven children. I went from a childhood full of abuse into a 17 year relationship, chalked with heartache, betrayal, and overflowing with domestic violence.
Until I got away from my ex-husband, my motto was
After 5 1/2 years of alone time, I met a wonderful man who has helped me to gain dignity and some respect for the fine person that I am. He treats me like I matter. He has helped me to understand that I am a worthwhile person and he shows me that I am a lady who deserves to be loved. We have been together for 3 years.
I will soon be a published author of a book titled; Shadows of Silence. A book about abuse. Hurray!!!
.gif)
Creating my book has blessed my life in many ways; however the greatest blessing I have received was an ability to embrace my life in a different and a more positive manner. My book has allowed me to step out from behind the Shadows of Silence that prevented me from speaking about what I have endured in my life. Along the way I learned some valuable lessons. The first is to never give up on your dreams because sometimes they do come true.
.gif)
The second was that by looking at the painful events from my past, my healing journey has began. I still have issues to look at and I still have some healing to do, but the important thing is that I am on the right road.
.jpg)
and chances are others will too.
I agree with the words in the song, "Unanswered Prayers" by Garth Brooks. If we pray and our prayers come true, then it is meant to be. On the other hand if they do not come true, it is for a reason. Sometimes we get discouraged when our prayers go unanswered, but then a time will arrive that you will actually be thankful that your prayer was not answered.
Due to the abuse I have been exposed to, I have built protective walls that have sheltered me from living life, which merely allowed me to exist. Slowly my walls are coming down and I am letting people get to know me so that I can get to know them too.
.jpg)
Betrayals and bad experiences led me to mistrust people in general. I have come to realize that the new people that enter my life are not the people from my past. The new people deserve my trust until, if they ever, give me a reason not too trust. If I had not learned this I would continue to carry on in the loneliness that I have become accustomed to. Being lonely does not bring joy.
Some information about me.
.gif)
I do not ask people to agree or disagree with me, however I do need others to respect me for me. I live my life my way; you live your life your way.
I am not a religious person who attends church but I do agree with the phrase, Do onto to others, etc...
I can not recall a day where I have not said the Serenity Prayer. This is an easy prayer to remember. It helps me through each day, especially when I come across circumstances that I wish were different but there is nothing at that moment that I can do to change it. Believe it or not it helps me to be more accepting of whatever it is that upsets me. An example would be, I have to rely on others or on public transportation to get to the places I want to go. Right now, I cannot do anything about it but, hopefully, one day I will have my drivers license and a car. It will not be today, it will not be tomorrow, and it certainly will not be the next day, but one day. And until that day, I need to have patience.
Because I am somewhat of a perfectionist, sometimes when I set out to do something, such as a craft project, and it does not quite turn out the way I envision, I tend to get disappointed and frustrated. My boyfriend has been with me when this has happened. He just kind of looks at me and he will then ask,"Did you try your best?" I will say yes, Then he says, Well that's all you can do. He has a motto, "Do your best. Be your best." For some reason, his words always come to mind and his words have helped me in many situations.
No matter what my day is like, when I retire for the night, I look for at least three positives things that happened during my day. The one thing I am certain of is that no matter how many horrible things happen in my day, there are always three positive things to acknowledge and to be thankful for. Sometimes I have to do some soul searching to find them, but they are there. They may not be a positive for another person, but they are my positives. I find focusing on the positive allows me to look forward to the next new day. If I am feeling down to begin with, mauling over my negatives will do nothing more than drag me down even farther.
If I am out and about, I try my best to do something nice for another person. It is the simplest task that can make another person smile or make their day a bit better. Carry their groceries, take out a bag of garbage, open a door, smile at someone, etc...
Most every day I start my day by doing some things for myself. Have a bubble bath or a shower, put on a bit of makeup, a bit of perfume, and paint my nails, curl my hair, then have my coffee or tea, and a little something to eat. I talk to my kids and/or my grandchildren, go to internet sites that provide inspirational messages. The one thing I do every single day with out fail is, I make certain at some point, I watch a 1/2 hour comedy program. It took me many years to learn this. I have spent far too many years crying, so I intend to spend as much of my remaining years, finding things to laugh at and to bring me some joy.
I try never to criticize, to put others down, or to say mean things to other people.
I try never to judge others. I have not walked in that person's shoes, therefore I do not understand why he or she may have done something differently than me. I try to take an honest look at a situation to gain some type of understanding.
I do not give opinions. Sometimes I may say, “Well if it was me I would do this or maybe I would do that.”
I do not gossip. I will say, well they never did nothing to me, so I am not getting involved.
I will never break a confidence. The way I see it, if someone has put trust and faith in me, to tell me something they need to get off their mind, then, I choose to never let that person feel regret for confiding in me. Well I should not say never, there are two instances that I will break a confidence. One is if they discuss suicide and the other is if they are abusing a child.
I try to never take advantage or take someone for granted.
I will never do a task for someone unless my heart is into it. If I cannot do a favor willingly, or with-out being begrudging, I will not stress myself to do something and then carry the guilt or anger around because I did something I did not want to do.
I do not loan money with out looking at the truth. The truth being, when you loan a person money, there is a chance you may not get it back. I ask myself if my life will be difficult if I do not get that money returned.
Child and abuse should not be in one sentence.
What you are about watch, is an example of two people who knew that a child was being abuse. They did not make that crucial call. And now; they will deal with the consequences for the rest of their lives.

November 05 Cinnamon
and Honey
Honey is the only food
on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It
will do what some call turning to sugar. In
reality honey is always honey.. However, when
left in a cool dark place for a long time it
will do what I rather call "crystallizing"
When this happens I loosen the lid,
boil some water, and sit the honey container in
the hot water, turn off the
heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as
it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a
microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the
honey.
Cinnamon and
Honey
Bet the drug companies
won't like this one getting around. Facts
on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a
mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most
diseases. Honey is produced in most of the
countries of the world. Scientists of today also
accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective)
medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey
can be used without any side effects for any
kind of diseases.
Today's science says
that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the
right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm
diabetic patients. Weekly World
News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated
17 January,1995 has given the following list of
diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon
as researched by western scientists:
HEART
DISEASES:
Make a paste of
honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread,
instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly
for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the
arteries and saves the patient from heart
attack. Also,
those who have already had an attack, if they do
this process daily, they are kept miles away
from the next attack. Regular use of the above
process relieves loss of breath and strengthens
the heart beat. In
America and Canada , various nursing homes have
treated patients successfully and have found
that as you age, the arteries and veins lose
their flexibility and get clogged; honey and
cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins
ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily,
morning and night, one cup of hot water with two
spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of
cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic
arthritis can be cured. In a recent research
conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was
found that when the doctors treated their
patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey
and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before
breakfast, they found that within a week, out of
the 200 people so treated, practically 73
patients were totally relieved of pain, and
within a month, mostly all the patients who
could not walk or move around because of
arthritis started walking without pain..
BLADDER
INFECTIONS:
Take two
tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon
of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink
it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.
CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three
teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces
of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient,
was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in
the blood by 10 percent within two hours.
As mentioned for arthritic patients,
if taken three times a day, any chronic
cholesterol is cured. According to information
received in the said Journal, pure honey taken
with food daily relieves complaints of
cholesterol.
COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe
colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey
with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three
days. This process will cure most chronic cough,
cold, and clear the sinuses.
UPSET
STOMACH:
Honey taken with
cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also
clears stomach ulcers from the root.
GAS:
According to the studies done in India and
Japan, it is revealed that if Honey is taken
with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of
gas.
IMMUNE
SYSTEM:
Daily use of honey
and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune
system and protects the body from bacteria and
viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey
has various vitamins and iron in large amounts.
Constant use of Honey strengthens the white
blood corpuscles to fight bacterial and viral
diseases.
INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two
tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves
acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.
INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey
contains a natural ' Ingredient' which kills the
influenza germs and saves the patient from flu..
LONGEVITY:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder,
when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old
age.. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of
cinnamon powder, and three cups of water and
boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to
four times a day.. It keeps the skin fresh and
soft and arrests old age. Life spans also
increase and even a 100 year old, starts
performing the chores of a 20-year-old.
PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon
of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on
the pimples before sleeping and wash it next
morning with warm water. If done daily for two
weeks, it removes pimples from the root.
SKIN
INFECTIONS:
Applying honey
and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the
affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all
types of skin infections.
WEIGHT
LOSS:
Daily in the morning
one half hour before breakfast on an empty
stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink
honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of
water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight
of even the most obese person. Also, drinking
this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to
accumulate in the body even though the person
may eat a high calorie diet.
CANCER:
Recent research in Japan and Australia
has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach
and bones have been cured successfully. Patients
suffering from these kinds of cancer should
daily take one tablespoon of honey with one
teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three
times a day.
FATIGUE:
Recent studies have shown that the sugar
content of honey is more helpful rather than
being detrimental to the strength of the body.
Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon
powder in equal parts, are more alert and
flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research,
says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a
glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon
powder, taken daily after brushing and in the
afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality
of the body starts to decrease, increases the
vitality of the body within a week.
BAD
BREATH:
People of South
America, first thing in the morning, gargle with
one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed
in hot water, so their breath stays fresh
throughout the day.
HEARING
LOSS:
Daily morning and night
honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts
restores hearing. Remember when we were kids? We
had toast with real butter and cinnamon
sprinkled on it!

Because of recent abductions
In daylight hours, refresh yourself
in an emergency situation...
After reading these 9 crucial tips,
forward them to someone you care about.
It never hurts to be careful
in this crazy world we live in.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :
The elbow is the strongest point
If you are close enough to use it, do!
2.. Learned this from a tourist guide.
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,
Toss it away from you....
Chances are that he is more interested
in your wallet and/or purse than you,
and he will go for the wallet/purse.
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,
kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole
and start waving like crazy..
The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars
after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit
(doing their chequebook, or making a list, etc.
The predator will be watching you, and this
is the perfect opportunity for him to get in
on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,
and tell you where to go.
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR ,
LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE..
If someone
and speed into anything, wrecking the car.
Your Air Bag will save you.
If the person is in the back seat
they will get the worst of it .
As soon as the car crashes
It is better than having them find your body
5. A few notes about getting
into your car in a parking lot,
at the passenger side floor ,
B.) If you are parked next to a big van,
enter your car from the passenger door.
Most serial killers attack their victims
by pulling them into their vans while the women
are attempting to get into their cars.
parked on the driver's side of your vehicle,
and the passenger side... If a male is sitting alone
in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back
into the mall, or work, and get a
guard/policeman to walk you back out.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator
Stairwells are horrible places to be alone
and the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!)
7. If the predator has a gun
and you are not under his control,
The predator will only hit you (a running target)
4 in 100 times; and even then,
it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!
8. As women, we are always trying
It may get you raped, or killed.
Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,
well educated man, who ALWAYS played
on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.
He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often
asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle,
which is when he abducted
his next victim.
Someone just told me that her friend heard
a crying baby on her porch the night before last,
and she called the police because it was late
and she thought it was weird.. The police told her
The lady then said that it sounded like the baby
had crawled near a window, and she was worried
that it would crawl to the street and get run over.
The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way,
whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.'
He told her that they think a serial killer
has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax
women out of their homes thinking that someone
dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it,
but have had several calls by women saying that
they hear baby's cries outside their doors
when they're home alone at night.
If you wake up in the middle
of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a
burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your
outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and
then attack.
Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbours!
This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because
the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on
America 's Most Wanted when they profiled
the serial killer in Louisiana
I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know.
It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle..
I was going to send this to the ladies only,
but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters,daughters, etc.,
you may want to pass it onto them, as well.
Send this to any woman you know that may need
to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it
and it's better to be safe than sorry..
Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or love one's life November 04
Excellent advice
A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, 'How heavy is this glass of water?' Answers called out ranged from 8oz. To 20oz.
The lecturer replied, 'The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it.'
'If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.'
'In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.'
He continued, 'And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on.'
'As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden. '
'So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work/life down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow.'
'Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later after you've rested.
Life is short. Enjoy!'
And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
1 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
2 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it
3 . * Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
4* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague
5 . * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
6 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late..
7 . * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live
8 * Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once..
9 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull.. Some have weirdnames and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
10 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour..

A Patriotic Resistance, Here
I have noted that many elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans, called upon America to unite behind Obama.
Well, I want to make it clear to all who will listen that I "AM NOT" uniting behind Obama. However, I promise to give our country the devoted loyalty of a patriot.
I will respect the Office which he holds, and I will acknowledge his abilities as an orator and wordsmith and pray for him, BUT that is it.
I have begun today to see what I can do to make sure He is a one-term President!
Why am I doing this? It is because I do not share Obama's vision or value system for America;
I do not share his Abortion beliefs;
I do not share his radical Marxist's concept of re-distributing wealth;
I do not share his stated views on raising taxes on those who make $150,000+ (the ceiling has been changed three times since August);
I do not share his view that America is arrogrant;
I do not share his view that America is not a Christian Nation;
I do not share his view that the military should be reduced by 25%;
I do not share his view of amnesty and giving more to illegals than American Citizens who need help;
I do not share his views on homosexuality and his definition of marriage;
I do not share his views that Radical Islam is our friend and Israel is our enemy who should give up any land;
I do not share his spiritual beliefs (at least the ones he has made public);
I do not share his beliefs on how to re-work the healthcare system in America;
I do not share his Strategic views of the Middle East, and certainly do not share his plan to sit down with terrorist regimes such as Iran.
Bottom line, my America is vastly different from Obama's, and I have a higher obligation to my Country and my God to do what is right!
For eight (8) years, the Liberals in our Society, led by numerous entertainers who would have no platform and no real credibility, but for their celebrity status, have attacked President Bush, his family, and his spiritual beliefs!
They have not moved toward the center in their beliefs and their philosophies, and they never came together nor compromised their personal beliefs for the betterment of our Country! They have portrayed my America as a land where everything is tolerated except being intolerant!
They have been a vocal and irreverent minority for years;
They have mocked and attacked the very core values so important to the founding and growth of our Country;
They have made every effort to remove the name of God or Jesus Christ from our Society;
They have challenged capital punishment, the right to bear firearms, and the most basic principles of our criminal code;
They have attacked one of the most fundamental of all Freedoms, the right of free speech!
Unite behind Obama? Never!
I am sure many of you who read this think that I am going overboard, but I refuse to retreat one more inch in favor of those whom I believe are the embodiment of Evil!
PRESIDENT BUSH made many mistakes during his Presidency, and I am not sure how history will judge him. However, I believe he weighed his decisions in light of the long established Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers!!!
Majority rules in America, and I will honor the concept; however, I will fight with all of my power to be a voice in opposition to Obama and "his goals for America."
I am going to be a thorn in the side of those who, if left unchecked, will destroy our country!! Any more compromise is more defeat!
I pray that the results of this election will wake up many who have sat on the sidelines and allowed the Socialist-Marxist anti-God crowd to slowly change so much of what has been good in America!

November 02
COME NOVEMBER 2010 I WILL STILL BE MAD AS HELL.
WE NEED TO GET RID OF 100% OF ALL OF THEM AND START ALL OVER.
Your U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.
1. They voted to not give you a S.S. cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
2. Your Medicaid premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years and
you will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr. Your total 2-yr loss and cost is
-$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.
3. Over 2-yrs they each get $10,000 
5. Will they have your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., increase?
NO WAY. They have a raise and better benefits. Why care about you? You never did anything about it in the past. You obviously are too stupid or don't care.
6. Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you?
7. Not to mention that the way they get the cost of the Senate proposed Healthcare Bill down to $800 Billion is by chopping $500 Billion in Medicare/Medicaid.
SEND THE MESSAGE--  You're FIRED.
IN 2010 YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RID OF THE SITTING CONGRESS:
Up to 1/3 OF THE SENATE, AND 100% OF THE HOUSE.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE STILL MAD IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND
REMIND THEIR REPLACEMENTS NOT TO SCREW UP.
It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse.

A WV wife came home just in time to find her husband in bed with another woman.With super-human strength, born of fury, and cutting firewood power, she dragged him by the willy down the stairs, out the backdoor, and into the tool shed out back of the barn.She put his hoo-ha in a vice, then secured it tightly and removed the handle. Next she picked up an old carpenter's saw.The banged up cheater was terrified, and hollered, 'Stop! Stop! You're not gonna cut it off with that rusty saw, are you?The wife put the saw in her husband's hand and said...... 'Nope.I'm gonna set this old shed on fire. You do whatever you want. November 01
Why is the First Lady using our tax money this way?
Never in the history of the White House has a First Lady spent so much on so many personal assistants, all paid from taxpayer dollars.
Hilary had three; Jackie Kennedy one;
Laura Bush one; and prior to Mamie Eisenhower, social help came from the President's own pocket.
Michelle Obama has 26 - from makeup artist Ingrid Miles and hairstylist Johnny Wright to her "chief of staff" Susan Sher, whose salary is $172,200.00.
The First Lady does not get paid to serve as First Lady, and she doesn't perform any official duties. But this hasn't deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to every whim and satisfy ever request in the midst of a great Recession.
Sort of makes one think the White House has been mistaken for the Versailles Court of Marie (let 'em eat cake) Antoinette, doesn't it?
