About Heart Attacks

posted by:

I told you about my neighbors husband passing away suddenly didn’t I.  Well it seems he had a heart attack in his sleep.  I felt this information was important enough to include in my blog.  PLEASE READ IT.  IT MIGHT SAVE SOMEONE’S LIFE!!

Why keep aspirin by your bedside?

There are other symptoms of an heart attack besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating, however these symptoms may also occur less frequently. Note: There may be no pain in the chest during a heart attack. The majority of people (about 60%) who had an heart attack during their sleep, did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.

If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water. Afterward – phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by – say “heart attack!” – say that you have taken 2 aspirins. – take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and… ~ do NOT lie down ~ A Cardiologist has stated that, if each person, after reading this, gets just 10 more people to read it, probably one life can be saved! I have already shared the information– What about you?

She got a Tacori ring!!

posted by:

My older sister just came in showing off her new engagement ring.  She has been dating this guy for almost 6 yerars and he finally popped the question.  Luckily enough he had enough sense to check out  Tacori engagement rings.  He has really good taste too and picked out a beautiful engagement ring for her.  I remember when I got my engagement ring.  Guys just don’t quite understand what an engagement ring means to a woman.  It is proof that someone loves us enough to buy us a beautiful diamond ring.  It means that we are special enough for a man to ask us to marry him.  It means so very much more than what he paid for it, especially if it’s a Tacori engagement ring.

JR Dunn understands just what an engagement ring means to us women.  If he didn’t, he sure wouldn’t have the quality and beautiful diamond engagement rings he has.  His jewelry store is absolutely fantastic.  Even if you’re already engaged or married, if you want to win some great brownie points with your girlfriend or wife, his jewelry store is the place to start.  It’s like that old song Marilyn Monroe sang ‘Diamonds are a girls best friend’ and that makes whoever buys them for her, her best guy.

I am not racist at all but I have always wondered about this

posted by:

My cousin sent me this in an email and like the title says, I’m not racist or predigest but I have always wondered about this and maybe it’s time someone did what Michael Richards did and put it in words.  Remember he got in trouble for saying the ‘N’ word on stage during his comedy routine.

Michael Richards makes his point…………..Michael Richards better known as Kramer from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point. This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points…

Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this? There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc. And then there are just Americans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me ‘White boy,’ ‘Cracker,’ ‘Honkey,’ ‘Whitey,’ ‘Caveman’… and that’s OK.  But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink .  You call me a racist. You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you… so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma’uled Al-Nabi. You have the NAACP. You have BET… If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we’d be racists.

If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.  If we had White History Month, we’d be racists. If we had any organization for only whites to ‘advance’ OUR lives, we’d be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that??

A white woman could not be in the Miss Black America pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant. If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships… You know we’d be racists.

There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US. Yet if there were ‘White colleges’, that would be a racist college. In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you’re not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists. You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

I am proud… But you call me a racist. Why is it that only whites can be racists?? There is nothing improper about this statement. I sadly don’t think many will share it with others. That’s why we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. We won’t stand up for ourselves!

BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!  It’s not a crime YET… but getting very close!

I think I have a thing for beds!

posted by:

I have been checking out the Internet for furniture because I keep seeing the same old things around the furniture stores around here.  I guess I shop for furniture like most women shop for shoes but I want some new modern furniture and I just can’t seem to make up my mind as to what I want.  Have you ever had that problem?

See I’m not like everyone else.  I want something that will not only dazzle me but anyone that looks at it.  I really need some new furniture for my bedroom but not just any old furniture either.  I want modern bedroom furniture.  I have found several new bedroom suites I like but nothing that just drops my jaw when I see it.  Well not until now anyway.  I found the bed of my dreams finally.  It’s a platform bed but I’m still going to shop around just a bit longer.  I have the like to the bed bookmarked and I’m pretty sure that’s the bed I’ll buy but it doesn’t hurt to look just a bit more.

This is amazing and beautiful

These incredible images of waves were taken by the number 1 photographer of surf: Clark Little. He has dedicated his life to photographing the waves and has published a selection of the best images of his career. He captures magical moments inside the “tube”, as surfers say.  These are only a couple of several I was sent by email but they are breathtaking.
