moongoddess3Hello readers,
Before I get to what's been going on with me, I got this very important message, well I consider it an important message anyway, in an e-mail from a friend. After reading it, I immediately grabbed my cell phone and did this. I will for space's sake put it behind a cut but I do encourage you all to read it and do as i have. It may just be something that helps save your life if you find yourself in a situation where you can't speak for yourself.
Apparently this is a standard procedure all paramedics follow at the
scene of an accident when they come across your cell phone.
ICE - 'In Case of Emergency'
We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its
memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers
belong to our closest family or friends.
If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the
people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who
to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is
the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this 'ICE' (In Case
of Emergency) Campaign the concept of 'ICE' is catching on quickly.
It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As
cell(mobile) phones are carried by the majority of the population, all
you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who
should be contacted during emergency under the name 'ICE' ( In Case
Of Emergency).
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to
the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with
patients, but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore
thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally
recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation,
Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to
quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have
stored as 'ICE.'
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.
A great idea that will make a difference!
Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our
Mobile phones today!
Please forward this. It won't take too many 'forwards' before
everybody will know about this.It really could save your life, or
put a loved one's mind at rest. ICE will speak for you when you are
not able to.
I just felt that was something that needed to be printed in here. I always find it sad when people are very very ill or have been in an accident and there's no one to be at the hospital with them, or if they can't say what they want or fill out forms for themselves. If you have someone who is close to you, at least they can come and be your voice when you don't have one.
And now for something completely funny...after reading they above part, I do believe it's time for a bit of humor. Don't you? Yes of course you do. *grins*
HOW TO START A FIGHT
One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as
a Christmas gift...
The next year, I didn't buy her a gift.
When she asked me why, I replied,
"Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"
And that's how the fight started.....
My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while
we were in bed.
I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?'
'No,' she answered. I then said,
'Is that your final answer?'
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..'
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."
And that's when the fight started...
I took my wife to a restaurant.
The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.
"I'll have the rump steak, rare, please."
He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"
"Nah, she can order for herself."
And that's when the fight started.....
My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school
reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his
drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.
I asked her, "Do you know him?"
"Yes", she sighed,
"He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking
right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he
hasn't been sober since."
"My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on
celebrating that long?"
And then the fight started...
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting
to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had
something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat,
making beer.. Always something more important to me. Finally she
thought of a clever way to make her point.
When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall
grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing
scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into
the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again
I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the
grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."
The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.
My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, "What's on TV?"
I said, "Dust."
And then the fight started...
Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my
lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the
boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential
downpour. The wind was blowing 50mph, so I pulled back into the
garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather
would be bad all day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back
into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back; now with a different
anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is
terrible."
My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my
stupid husband is out fishing in that?"
And that's how the fight started...
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming
anniversary.
She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in
about 3 seconds."
I bought her a bathroom scale.
And then the fight started......
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply
for Social Security.
The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to
verify my age.
I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at
home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have
to go home and come back later.
The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.
So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.
She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for
me' and she processed my Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at
the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped
your pants. You might have gotten disability too.'
And then the fight started...
My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.
She was not happy with what she saw and said to me,
"I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you
to pay me a compliment.'
I replied, "Your eyesight's darn near perfect."
And then the fight started........
I rear-ended a car this morning...the start of a REALLY bad day!
The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!!
He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!'
So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?'
That's how the fight started.
So I'm thinking that I should just say goodbye to you all now because after tomorrow night, I may not be around any longer. I kind of did something that wasn't exactly my fault but it happened nonetheless. What have you done that was so bad that you feel you have to say goodbye you may be asking? I lost vampy's cat!!!! I feel absolutely horrible about this. I'm trying so hard right now not to burst into tears and it's getting to be a hard thing to do. My boss is so cool though, he offered to let one of the drivers and me go back home and go cat hunting. Summer was nowhere to be found in the apartment or in the basement that we could tell. I wish vampy were home because i know she'd come to his voice. We went knocking on the neighbor's doors to ask if they had seen a little gray and white cat running around. It turns out that someone had seen her running up and down the stairs. He tried to put her outside but she wouldn't go. He said she just sat there and didn't move when he opened the door to outside. By this I am a little bit comforted. The neighbors are going to keep a look out for her and if they see her they will notify me. I feel really horrible like I said. Vampy loves that cat with all of his being and i know that if it were my cat missing I'd be just as horrified. For now, I am back at work and I just hope and pray that when I get home, I will have a little gray and white cat back at my apartment door meowing to be let back in.
I found out that my hours are going to be increasing at work. This makes me excited sense in the beginning I was hoping to get 40 hours a week. I'm not yet sure how many more hours I'm getting but every hour helps. Land To Air is expanding and we are going to go more places which I think is the coolest thing ever. It will mean more of my paycheck going to transportation but at least i get out of the house and won't be bored.
Well it's nearing the end of my work day so I'm going to close this for now and do my end of the day things. I'll write again soon, that is if Vampy doesn't murder me for losing his cat. But before I go, have this link. LOL!
