It is ok to be a banana…?



Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!
This is interesting. 



After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Q:   Doctor, I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A:   Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it...  don't waste them   on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not   make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by   d riving it faster. Want to live longer?  Take a  nap.

How To Go Green: Water

  • by Lindsay Spangler   March 22, 2011  6:05 pm


There is no resource more precious than water. There is also no resource that is misused, abused, misallocated, and misunderstood the way water is. Safe drinking water, healthy and intact natural ecosystems, and a stable food supply are a few of the things at stake as our water supply is put under greater and greater stress.
The picture might look grim, but opportunities to be more efficient abound. Many people have had water-saving etiquette pumped into them at one point or another, so hopefully we can make a good case for conserving the stuff with practical, everyday water-saving strategies as well as some more high-tech approaches.

Top Water Conservation Tips
No drips A dripping faucet can waste 20 gallons of water a day. A leaking toilet can use 90,000 gallons of water in a month. Get out the wrench and change the washers on your sinks and showers, or get new washerless faucets. Keeping your existing equipment well maintained is probably the easiest and cheapest way to start saving water.

My mom had only...

My mom had only one eye. I hated her... She was such an embarrassment. 

She cooked for students & teachers to support the family.
There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me.
I was so embarrassed.
How could she do this to me?
I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.

The term "Water Crisis" has been applied to the worldwide water situation by the United Nations and other POLK world organizations. The major aspects of the water crisis are overall scarcity of usable water and water pollution.

15 Ways To Protect Your Kidneys

posted by Delia Quigley 






In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the kidneys are known as the Minister of Power because they are considered to be our most important storehouse of essential energy. Another name for the kidneys is the Root of Life, due to the Chinese view that our original prenatal energy is stored in the kidney organ-energy system. This kidney organ system includes the adrenal glands and what the Chinese refer to as the external kidneys, those being the testicles in males and the ovaries in women. In this way your kidneys, not only filter waste from the blood, balance fluids and regulate acid-alkaline balance (pH) in the body, they also control your sexual and reproductive functions and are a prime source of sexual vitality.

7 Pains You Should Never Ignore

posted by Rodale Mar 28, 2011 5:01 pm


See which painful symptoms could indicate a health emergency

Pay Attention to Your Body’s Signals
Usually a headache is just a headache, and heartburn is nothing more than a sign that your last meal didn’t agree with you. Except when they’re not.
Pain is your body’s way of telling you that something isn’t quite right. More often than not, you have some idea of what’s behind it. But when it comes on suddenly, lingers longer than usual, or just seems different, it calls for medical attention—and the sooner, the better. According to our experts, all of the following pain conditions should be considered red flags.

7 Signs Your Lungs Are in the Danger Zone

7 Signs Your Lungs Are in the Danger Zone

By Melanie Haiken   March 9, 2012, 5:01 pm

We hear a lot about the risks of lung cancer — but less about a lung condition that’s just as common and debilitating, called COPD. This term, which stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, refers to a combination of two conditions, emphysema and chronic obstructive bronchitis, both of which are caused by lung damage from smoking or exposure to other lung irritants, such as asbestos. Whether you’re a smoker, a former smoker, or just unlucky, you can develop COPD as a result of damage to your lungs that gradually limits their ability to take in oxygen.

When your lungs aren’t functioning at full capacity, symptoms begin to appear that are sometimes so subtle that you may not recognize them as such. And because COPD is a progressive disease that can’t be slowed without treatment — and because it’s the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. — it’s critical to catch it as soon as possible. Here, seven signs that your lungs are trying to tell you they’re in trouble.

Under Oath


Under Oath
Lawyers should never ask a Southern grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand.

He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"

She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."

The Kind Lawyer


The Kind Lawyer
One afternoon, a wealthy lawyer was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw two men eating grass by the road side. He ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.
"Why are you eating grass?" he asked one man.
"We don't have any money for food." the poor man replied.
"Oh, come along with me then."
"But sir, I have a wife with two children!"
"Bring them along! And you, come with us too!", he said to the other man.
"But sir, I have a wife with six children!" the second man answered.
"Bring them as well!"

They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limo. Once underway, one of the poor fellows says, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The lawyer replied, "No problem, the grass at my home is about two feet tall!"

Satisfaction from a Lawyers Office


Satisfaction from a Lawyers Office

A guy phones a law office and says, "I want to speak to my lawyer."

The receptionist replies, "I'm sorry but he died last week."
The next day he phones again and asks the same question. The receptionist replies, "I told you yesterday, he died last week." The next day the guy calls again and asks to speak to his lawyer.
By this time the receptionist is getting annoyed and replies, "I keep telling you that your lawyer died last week. Why do you keep calling?"

The guy responds, "Because I just love hearing it."

22 MPH


22 MPH
Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. 


He thinks to himself, "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies -- two in the front seat and three in the back - eyes wide and white as ghosts. 


The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?"

Denmark cries in Sea of Blood, 950 Whales and Dolphins KILLED…

Published 16th November 2009 - 72 comments - 59851 views - ShareThis
I stood baffled. WTH was a tradition?! To kill an animal and not just to eat it or to survive, or maybe because it wants to kill you. You do it just for fun and then you`re called mature!? How heroic.
That is normal for 21 century! Still. Some boys on our age do it, without much emotions despite of satisfaction from the sheded blood. DISGUSTING and PITY for US as HUMANKIND.
We sit here, talk and discuss what to do to help people be aware of the fact that our plantet is slowly dying and in the interim some youths just kill innocent sea creatures! Rare, smart and noble ones!!!!! We are doing nothing. They die there and we sit here and watch movies and photos of brutally killed creatures. Killed from the generation we want to be the sign for the new future of the greener world. Scham und Schande. "Wie eine Träne im Ozean"...

Smart Father


Father:    “I want you to marry a girl of my choice”.
Son:          "I will choose my own bride!"
Father:      "But the girl is Bill Gates' daughter."
Son:          "Well, in that case, OK"

Next:         Father approaches Bill Gates.

Father:      "I have a husband for your daughter."
Bill Gates
  "But my daughter is too young to marry!"
Father:      "But this young man is a vice-president of the 

                 World Bank." 
Bill Gates:  "Ah, in that case, OK"

Finally, Father goes to see the president of the World Bank.

Father:     "I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-
                president."
President: "But I already have more vice- presidents than I need!"
Father:     "But this young man is Bill Gates's son-in-law."
President: "Ah, in that case, OK"

Peroxide


Peroxide, who knew? (Safer and healthier than bleach)

This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana (a doctor's wife), and I want to share it with you.

She was over recently for coffee and smelled the bleach I was using to clean my toilet and countertops. This is what she told me...

I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little old bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide. Have you ever smelled bleach in a doctor's office? No!! Why?

The Good Husband


Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company's Party. Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn't taste like alcohol at all. He didn't even remember how he got home from the party. As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.
 
Jack had to force himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose!! Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed.

It looked like he was carrying all of his books. 

I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.'

How to Avoid the Dangers of Plastic Food and Beverage Containers
Mar 7, 2008 "Contribute content like this. Start Here."

Plastics are convenient, light weight and often disposable. Recently, when public health and consumer groups reported that a hormone-disrupting chemical was released when baby bottles were heated, it caused uproar. What are the facts? Are all plastics harmful? Which plastics should be avoided? What are safe practices?


Different types of plastic
Polyethylene - Containers for water, soft drinks, cleaners and detergents are made of it. There is high density and low density polyethylene. High density is an opaque plastic used for all kinds of bottles and some plastic bags, while low density polyethylene is used in grocery store bags, most plastic wraps and some bottles.
