About Heart Attacks.

Post 649 ~ ~ ~ Friday, 11th December, 2009.

Hi Everyone ~~ How are things with you all? Looking forward to the
weekend I guess. We have had a cool change here for a few days
and it is warming again, but two really cool days for summer. Even
had a blanket on the last two nights.

I will start tonight with the photo taken a few years ago at our friend's
home. We went to visit them recently and I love this piece of iron in
the shape of Australia. It should enlarge to read the words.





I have been writing on some Christmas cards today, so it is certainly
the time for Peace and Love. A lovely time to keep in touch with
friends and relatives.

My good friend Linda L sent me this article about Heart attacks and it
just might help someone. Thank you Linda.

HEART ATTACK ~~ THE NEW ASPIRIN ~~ IMPORTANT READ .......

Something that we can do to help ourselves. Nice to know.

Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve under the tongue.
They work much faster than the tablets.

About Heart Attacks -- Why keep aspirin by your bedside?

There are other symptoms of a heart attack besides the pain in 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 occur less frequently.

Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack.
The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during
their sleep did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may
wake you from your deep sleep. If that happens, immediately dissolve
two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water.

Afterwards:

~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 receiving this
e mail sends it to 10 people, probably one life can be saved.

A Mountain Wings item by Fred Taylor. Walking with a wolf.

In nature, tigers are not monogamos animals. Both male and female
tigers have several mates over their lifetime. Even when you call
a person a tiger, monogamous is not what comes to mind.

What is one of the few inherently monogamous mammals?
Oddly enough, it is the wolf.

Wolves mate for life and remain faithful to their life mate,

A wolf is often what a man is called who chases women, but the
name is a total misnomer. It is the wolf that is faithful.

Often we get things totally backwards.

One from my friend Warren. Thanks mate.
For all the golfers out there . . . .

Husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf... Unfortunately,
the wife promptly whacked her first shot right through the window
of the biggest house adjacent to the course.

The husband cringed, "I warned you to be careful. Now we'll have to
go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much your lousy
drive is going to cost us."

So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door.
A warm voice said, "Come in."

When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done:
glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying
on its side near the broken window.

A man reclining on the couch asked, "Are you the people that broke
my window?"
"Uh...yeah, sir. We're really sorry about that," the husband muttered.

"Oh, no apology necessary. Actually I want to thank yo... You see,
I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years.
Now that you have released me, I'm allowed to grant three wishes.
I'll give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one
for myself.."

"Wow, that's great!" the husband said. He pondered a moment and
blurted out, "I'd like a million dollars a year for the rest of my life."

"No problem," said the genie. "You've got it, it's the least I can do.
And I'll guarantee you a long healthy life. And now, young lady, what
do you want?" the genie asked.

"I'd like to own a gorgeous home complete with servants in every
country in the world." she said.

"Consider it done," the genie said, "And your homes will always be
safe from fire, burglary and natural disasters."

"And now," the couple asked in unison, what's your wish genie?"
"Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle and haven'tbeen with a
woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to have sex with
your wife."

The husband looked at his wife and said, "Gee, honey, you know we
both now have a fortune and all those houses. What do you think?"
She mulled it over for a few moments and said, "You know, you're
right. Considering our good fortune, I guess I wouldn't mind, but
what about you, honey?"

"You know I love you sweetheart," said the husband, "I'd do the same
for you."

So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest
of the afternoon enjoying each other in every way. After about three
hours of non-stop sex, the genie rolled over and looked directly into
her eyes and asked, "How old are you and your husband?"

"Why, we are both 35," she responded breathlessly.
"NO S**T," he said. "Thirty-five years old and you both still believe
in genies?"

The teacher asked the class to use the word 'fascinate' in a sentence.

Molly put up her heand and said, "My family went to my granddad's
farm and we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating."

The teacher said, "That was good, but I wanted you to use the word
'fascinate', not fascinating' ."

Sally raised her hand. She said, "My family went to see Rock City
and I was fascinated."

The teacher said, "Well, that was a good try Sally, but I wanted you
to use the word 'fascinate'."

Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had
been burned by Little Johnny before. She finally decided there was no
way he cold damage the word 'fascinate', so she called on him for his
offering.

Johnny said, "My aunt Gina hass a sweater with ten buttons, but her
boobs are so big she can only fasten eight."

The teacher just sat down and cried.
