Happiness Depends on More than Years
Happiness depends on more than years. All one's moments gather to a wave.
Passing in a rolling swell of tears, Passions too immense to name or save.
Yet New Year's is a crest on which to sing, Now poised between the future and the past.
Each awaits what course the fates may bring,Winds that never touch the things that last.
Years turn and turn with an hypnotic grace, Even as the depths of life lie still.
Although above one cannot silence face, Remember that below the divers will.
New Years Are a Chance for a Beginning
New years are a chance for a beginning
Even when there hasn't been an end.
Wheels turn in an interminable bend,
Yet, marked in one spot, seem to wobble spinning.
Each year we hope to do a little better
Although we know that really nothing's changed.
Reason thinks that everything's arranged,
So we must dream if we would fate unfetter.

Christmas Is a Time for Love and Fun
Christmas is a time for love and fun,
A time to reshape souls and roots and skies,
A time to give your heart to everyone
Freely, like a rich and lavish sun,
Like a burning star to those whose lonely sighs
Show need of such a time for love and fun.
For children first, whose pain is never done,
Whose bright white fire of anguish never dies,
It's time to give your heart to every one,
That not one angel fall, to hatred won
For lack of ears to listen to her cries,
Or arms to carry him towards love and fun,
Or friends to care what happens on the run
To adult life, where joy or sadness lies.
It's time to give your heart to everyone,
For God loves all, and turns His back on none,
Good or twisted, ignorant or wise.
Christmas is a time for love and fun,
A time to give your heart to everyone.

Bankruptcy forces end of Value City in its hometown
Wednesday, December 24, 2008 3:04 AM
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
The central Ohio stores of the bankrupt Value City Department Stores chain planned to close their doors for good after business yesterday following more than a month of liquidation sales.
The remaining Columbus stores, on Westerville Road on the North Side and on North Boulevard on the West Side, ended business by offering discounts that they said were up to 95 percent off in the final two days. A store associate at the Kettering store in the Dayton area said that yesterday also was its last day.
A representative at Value City's Columbus headquarters did not return calls seeking comment on the status of the rest of the stores. Since filing for bankruptcy in October, the company has declined to provide specifics about when stores would close and whether all of them would cease operations. According to the Value City Web site yesterday, there were 38 remaining locations, down from more than 100 a year ago.
In documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York on Friday, Value City said it was rejecting the leases of about 30 stores as of the end of this week. In a number of cases, Schottenstein Stores Corp. is listed as the landlord or manager of the property.
The Value City chain grew out of the original Schottenstein's store in Columbus. It was spun off from privately held Schottenstein Stores to become part of Retail Ventures as the chain grew. Retail Ventures paid a group of private-equity firms to take the struggling discounter off its hands in January.
Value City Furniture is a separate entity controlled by Schottenstein's Chief Executive Jay Schottenstein. It is not affected by the bankruptcy.

NEW RAPE SCAM!!!!PLEASE READ!!!!!
NEW RAPE SCAM!!!!PLEASE READ!!!!!
Please pass on to all your girlfriends, wives, etc. Just to be on the safe side. Please be aware and pass it on to anyone you think this will help.
Sunday afternoon around 5 PM I headed into the Target in
It was still light outside and I parked fairly close to the entrance. As I got out of my car and began walking towards Target, an older lady shouted to me
from the passenger seat of a car about 30 feet away from me.
'Ma'am you must help me, help me please, help me Ma'am!' I looked at her in the eyes and started to walk towards her when al l of a sudden I remembered
an email my Mom had sent me a week or two ago about rapists and abduct ions using elder people to lure women in.
I paused, memorized the license plate and immediately headed into Target to get a manager to come help this lady, just in case something was up.
While the woman manager headed out there, I kept a close watch just because I was curious what was wrong with the lady and wanted to be sure nothing happened.
As the Target lady walked up towards the car and got very close to the old woman in order to help her, the back door of the car flies open and a large man
with a stocking cap on, jumps out and sticks a gun to the lady's stomach as he shoves her into the back of the car.
I yelled out 'call 911' several times and just as I was saying that, a policeman who happened to be on the other side of the parking lot! And who, luckily
had seen the entire thing happen, raced over to the car.
He was able to stop the car and arrest the male as well as the old lady, who was involved in the scheme. By God's grace everyone was all right, including myself, although I think we were both shaken up.
Like many of you, I would not in a million years have left an elderly person who was yelling for help if it weren't for the e-mail I had read last week.
So, I wanted to pass this along so you all can be aware and remember that you really can't trust anyone these days.
You just never know when something like this could happen. I would have never dreamed it to happen to me especially on a Sunday afternoon at a Target in a safe area!
It definitely was not a coincidence that my Mom sent that email just a few days before this all happened. Please, be careful and always be aware of your surroundings.
Just because you individually don't go over to help someone doesn't mean you have to leave them in trouble , but don't go ALONE, you really don't know what might be going on.
This was checked with Snopes.com -
this is true - and they also use children to lure the victim!!
Retail Ventures' stock rises after purchase of 2 million shares
Retail Ventures' stock rises after purchase of 2 million shares
Thursday, December 18, 2008 7:18 PM
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Jay Schottenstein purchased more than 2 million shares of Retail Ventures stock in the past week, giving him about 55 percent of the parent company of DSW and Filene's Basement.
The purchases, made Monday and last Friday, sent the stock of Retail Ventures -- which had closed at under $1 for the two days prior to Schottenstein's purchases -- soaring. It closed at $3.06 today.
Like that of most retailers, Retail Ventures' stock has been trading at very low levels in recent months. It has fallen as low as 90 cents, down from a 52-week high of $7.46.
Michael Broidy, a vice president of privately held Schottenstein Stores who acts as a spokesman for Schottenstein, did not return a call seeking comment on the stock purchases. In October, Schottenstein bought more than 1 million shares of stock in shoe retailer DSW, which trades separately but is controlled by Retail Ventures.
Robert Shook, a Columbus-based business author who sat on the board of Retail Ventures for several years beginning in the 1990s, said that to an outsider, Schottenstein's move would seem to be a vote of confidence for Retail Ventures.
"He must think it's a good value, and he would know more than most people," Shook said.

Value City Department Stores Close
By Denise Yost
Managing Editor, nbc4i.com
Published: December 23, 2008
COLUMBUS, Ohio—It’s been two months since Value City Department Stores filed for bankruptcy and the company closed its last two locations Tuesday.
The locations that closed included the stores on Innis Road and West Broad Street, NBC 4‘s Tanya Hutchins reported.
Longtime Columbus residents consider the company an institution. Value City Department Stores’ liquidation sale has items for 90 percent off, including all fixtures, furniture and equipment.
The signs were unavoidable and there was no shortage of shoppers.
“It was pretty bare. I’m used to a ton of stuff. There are people rummaging through everything. They’re selling wallpaper for 90 cents that’s supposed to go for $40. It’s pretty crazy in there and I got a bunch of dresses that go for $60 for $1.97,“ said Samantha Dress, a shopper.
The company wouldn’t comment Tuesday, but said when it filed for bankruptcy that it couldn’t handle the current financial crisis.
“I think that Value City has been a staple in Columbus for a long time. It’s kind of Columbus’ history, so it is really sad to see it go,“ said Dana Mason, an area resident.
Now, shoppers have to find a new department store and employees have to find new jobs.

NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON!
This could save your life!
I wonder how many people know about this ~
A 36 year old female had an accident several weeks ago and totaled her car. A resident of Kilgore, Texas , she was traveling between Gladewater & Kilgore. It was raining though not excessively, when her car suddenly began to hydro-plane and literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence!
When she explained to the highway patrolman what had happened he told her something that every driver should know - NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON. She thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain. But the highway patrolman told her that if the cruise control is on when your car begins to hydro-plane and your tires lose contact with the pavement, your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed making you take off like an airplane. She told the patrolman that was exactly what had occurred.
The patrolman said this warning should be listed, on the driver's seat sun-visor - NEVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR ICY, along with the airbag warning. We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a safe speed - but we don't tell them to use the cruise control only when the pavement is dry. The only person the accident victim found, who knew this (besides the patrolman), was a man who had a similar accident, totaled his car and sustained severe injuries. If you send this to 15 people and only> >one of them doesn't know about this, then it was all worth it. You might have saved a life.
NOTE: Some vehicles (like the Toyota Sienna Limited XLE) will not allow you to set the cruise control when the windshield wipers are on.

Useful Websites for Ohioans
I have posted a few links that are useful for unemployed Ohioans. These were given to me at a REQUIRED orientations I had to attend at the Job and Family Services this week. You are REQUIRED to show up or they will not pay you for that week of unemployment. This is also can be listed as one of the two mini mun contacts on your log sheet that you must keep weekly.
After the initial orientation you then are REQUIRED to attend a scheduled one on one meeting with a counsel who will asst you on areas you would like more info on. This meeting can also be listed as one of the two minimum contacts on your log sheet that you must keep weekly
For example:
After the initial orientation you then are REQUIRED to attend a scheduled one on one meeting with a counsel who will asst you on areas you would like more info on. This meeting can also be listed as one of the two minimum contacts on your log sheet that you must keep weekly
For example:
- Grant $ for educational needs
- Housing Needs
- Workshops / Careen Events
- Resource Areas
- Additional Job Training
And so much more!
Everyone receiving unemployment pay will receive a letter REQUIRING you to attend.
I will post more of the info once I am able to read all thru it.
Good Luck and I hope these links are helpful!
Pssss.. One the day of my orientation there were at least 10 other fellow associates from the warehouse here in Columbus there on the same day. We joked about it being like a family reunion. Everyone had a positive attitude and is doing well :)

VICKS VAPO RUB - INTERESTING
VICKS VAPO RUB - INTERESTING
During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it. Some of us have used Vicks Vapo rub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of this. And don't laugh, it works 100% of the time, although the scientists who discovered it aren't sure why. To stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vapo rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines.
In addition it is extremely soothing and comfortin g and they will sleep soundly. Just happened to tune in A.M. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good, due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs so, I listened. It was a surprise finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly. My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep, (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night that she used it. If you have grandchildren, pass this on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed at how it works.
DON'T SHUN THIS ONE.. TRY IT THE NEXT TIME YOU GET A BAD COLD.
During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it. Some of us have used Vicks Vapo rub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of this.

Thanksgiving Day Songs
My Ducky lies Over the Ocean=
My turkey dinner is over the ocean.My turkey dinner lies over the sea.I guess it’s not fully prepared yet.Please bring my turkey dinner to me!!!My turkey weighs thirty-five pounds.My turkey is so hansom brown.I guess we cannot have turkey dinner.Please bring my turkey dinner to me!!!My mashed potatoes are probably cold now.My mashed potatoes costs twenty-five dollars.I guess that there will be no thanksgiving.Please bring my turkey dinner to me!!!My sweet potatoes costs fifty dollars.My sweet potatoes there were forty of them.I guess there will be no sweet potatoes tonight.Please bring my turkey dinner to me!!!Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my turkey dinner to me-ee.Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my turkey dinner to me-ee.Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my turkey dinner to me-ee.

I Ate Too Much Turkey=
I ate too much turkey,I ate too much corn,I ate too much pudding and pie,I'm stuffed up with muffins and much too much stuffin',I'm probably going to die.I piled up my plate and I ate and I ate,but I wish I had known when to stop,for I'm so crammed with yams,sauces, gravies, and jams that my buttons are starting to pop.I'm full of tomatoes and french fried potatoes,my stomach is swollen and sore,but there's still some dessert,so I guess it won't hurt if I eat just a little bit more.

Thanksgiving Day Thought #2
Thanksgiving thoughts are the kind of thoughts that we should have all year long. For it is the folks with thankful hearts whose lives are filled with song. We should take time for kindness to those we hold most dear,and just extend a helping hand to others through the year. Let's set aside some quiet time and share it with a friend. For friendships brings a special joy and pleasure without end. So may the blessings of this day that I would ask for you, now fill you with Thanksgiving Peace that lasts the whole year through!
Thanksgiving Day Thought #1
Life can be very trying. When your child is hungry, your body wracked with pain, or you have no idea where you and your family will find a place to sleep, it's hard to find something for which you can be thankful. So, for just a few minutes on Thanksgiving Day, step outside your situation and just "be". Find something, no matter how small, to be thankful for because in giving thanks, you will be lightening your load, even if for only a moment.
Early Holiday Wishes . .
Okay, Thanksgiving is just a day or so a way.
Let start by everyone posting what you are
"Thankful" for this Holiday!
Pumpkin Pie
I received this Thanksgiving wish as well as many others of you may have from Sylvia..

A FUNNY! 'And then the fight started.....
When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive....So, I took her to a gas station..... And then the fight started....
**** My wife and I are 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 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 start ed.....
**** Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage . I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, 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 10 years replied, 'Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?' And that's how the fight started ...
**** My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at A nearby table.My wife asked, 'Do you know her?''Yes,' I sighed, 'she's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many & years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.''My God!' says my wife, 'Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?' And then the fight started.....
**** I rear-ended a car this morning.So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car.You know how sometimes you just get soooo stressed and Little things just seem funny?Yeah, well I couldn't believe it.... He was a DWARF!!!He stormed over to my ca r, looked up at me, and shouted, 'I AM NOT HAPPY! !!'So, I looked down at him and said, 'Well, then which one are you?' And then the fight started.....
**** I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.'I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please.'He said, 'Aren't you worried about the mad cow?' 'Nah, she can order for herself.'And then the fight started....
**** A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's darn near perfect.'And then the fight started.....

I Am Thankful For...
Subj: I Am Thankful For... (S147)
From: WSelwa on 11/24/1999
..the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
..the taxes I pay because it means I am employed.
..the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.
..a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.
..my shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.
..the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.
..all the complaining about our government because it means we have freedom of speech.
..my large heating bill because it means I am warm.
..the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear.
..the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means I am alive.
..the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby.
..weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive.
Happy Thanksgiving!

A Thanksgiving Thought
Top Subj: A Thanksgiving Thought (S200)
From: gheckman on 11/25/2000
The following is something to ponder:
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep ... you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace ... you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation... you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death... you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
If your parents are still alive and still married... you are very rare, even in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful... you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
If you can hold some one's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder... you are blessed because you can offer healing touch.
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and further- more, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
Have a good day, count your blessings, and pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

The Animal Rescue Site
To all you animal lovers.
This is pretty simple... Please tell ten friends to tell ten today!
The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals.

Winter Quotes and Sayings
Winter dies into the spring, to be born again in the autumn.- Marche Blumenberg
Winter is the time of promise because there is so little to do - or because you can now and then permit yourself the luxury of thinking so.- Stanley Crawford
Spring, summer, and fall fill us with hope; winter alone reminds us of the human condition.- Mignon McLaughlin
Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories.- Anonymous
Snowflakes are one of nature’s most fragile things, but just look what they do when they stick together.- Verna M. Kelly
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.- Anne Bradstreet
Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen.- Willa Sibert Cather
In the winter I was with Nelson Piquet. He was talking about his capacity to race faster. He said that he was still learning new things all the time.- Jean Alesi
Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.- Victor Hugo
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.- Andrew Wyeth
And for the season it was winter, and they that know the winters of that country know them to be sharp and violent, and subject to cruel and fierce storms.- William Bradford
Blow, blow, thou winter windThou art not so unkind,As man’s ingratitude.- William Shakespeare
The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter; the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to literature, summer the tissues and the blood.- John Burroughs
In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago.- Christina Rossetti
I was just thinking, if it is really religion with these nudist colonies, they sure must turn atheists in the wintertime.- Will Rogers
And finally Winter, with its bitin’, whinin’ wind, and all the land will be mantled with snow.- Roy Bean
As winter weather settles in around the country, millions of American families are facing skyrocketing home heating prices with even greater impact if cold temperatures persist into the spring.- Russ Carnahan
The problem with winter sports is that - follow me closely here - they generally take place in winter.- Dave Barry
To shorten winter, borrow some money due in spring.- W.J. Vogel
You can’t get too much winter in the winter.- Robert Frost
Winter makes a bridge between one year and another and, in this case, one century and the next.- Andy Goldsworthy
Brew me a cup for a winter’s night.For the wind howls loud and the furies fight;Spice it with love and stir it with care,And I’ll toast our bright eyes,my sweetheart fair.- Minna Thomas Antrim
Winter is not a season, it’s an occupation.- Sinclair Lewis
Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.- Edith Sitwell
As the winter set in with its customary Canadian severity the real trouble of the French began. They did not suffer from the cold, but they were dying of scurvy.- Harry Johnston
Winter is the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it was in the summer, when they complained about the heat.- Anonymous
One kind word can warm three winter months.- Japanese Proverb
Winter testing is essential but there comes a point where you have had enough of all the rehearsals and the pretend racing. You just want to get down to the real action.- Damon Hill

Daily Poem
How To Make You Funny?
How to make you funny?
And you are always funny,
You hide it and It is still funny,
And that makes me laugh.
How to make you serious?
And you can not be serious,
Funny is funny,
And being seriously funny is not that funny,
And you laugh.
How to tell you a joke?
And you are the funniest joke
That makes you more funny and serious
While you are drinking and thinking
At the risk Of spilling the juice of your lips
At my laugh.

DO YOU KNOW WHO YOUR NEIGHBORS ARE?
Very interesting. Run your mouse pointer over the red flags/push pins and it brings up the convicted person's name, age and charges! I had quite a few in my neighborhood!
This isn't just the 'child predator' look up - it's ALL convictions (felony in nature). Just type in your street name, city and state and click move your mouse to the red stick ups...
It's scary!

Attitude
Attitude is ' weather '
A persons weather
Sunny days
Cloudy days
Sometimes an adversity of fate
Like a weather with spate
Uncovered the image
Can be personal damage
Can be appreciated
If in good faith
A complex weather of mental state
Moral behavior to maintain so complicated

CARROTS! Interesting Info.
Thanks to Heather Miley for this info....
I always thought the white stuff meant the carrots were dried out!
The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages carrots for IGA, METRO, LOB LAWS, etc. The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small plastic bags are made using the larger crooked or deformed carrots which are put through a machine which cuts and shapes them into cocktail carrots . Most people probably know this already.
What you may not know and should know is the following: once the carrots are cut and shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve them (this is the same chlorine used in your pool) since they do not have their skin or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose of chlorine.
You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for a few days, a white covering will form on the carrots, this is the chlorine which resurfaces. At what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing vegetables which are practically plastic?
We do hope that this information can be passed on to as many people as possible in the hopes of informing them where these carrots come from and how they are processed. Chlorine is a very well known carcinogen. Please let us make this information available to as many people as possible. If you care about your family and friends, pass it on.

Safety Warning Story!
This Incident has been confirmed.
In Katy , TX A man came over and offered his services as a painter to a female putting gas in her car and left his card. She said no ,but accepted his card out of kindness and got in the car. The man then got into a car driven by another gentleman. As the lady left the service station, she saw the men following her out of the station at the same time. Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could not catch her breath. She tried to open the window and realized that the odor was on her hand; the same hand which accepted the card from the gentleman at the gas station. She then noticed the men were immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that moment. She drove into the first driveway and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help. The men drove away but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes after she could finally catch her breath. Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously injured her.
This drug is called 'BURUNDANGA' and it is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them. This drug is four times more dangerous than the date rape drug and is transferable on simple cards. So take heed and make sure you don't accept cards at any given time alone or from someone on the streets. This applies to those making house calls and slipping you a card when they offer their services .

LIFE
Life is like the waves it has its ups and downs
Life is like a roller coaster it has its twists and turns
Life is like a sport it just depends on what we play
Life is like a game of poker it just depends on what we are dealt
Life can be given, life can be taken
Life can be a curse, life can be a blessing
Life can be a pain, life can be insane
Life has its ways, life has its days
Life has its love, life has its hate
Life has its gentler touch but it has its harder punch
Life brings you your knees when you feel in need
Life brings you a lot of things but in the end it depends on what we do
Life is like the waves it has its ups and downs
Life is like a roller coaster it has its twists and turns
Life is like a sport it just depends on what we play
Life is like a game of poker it just depends on what we are dealt
Life can be given, life can be taken
Life can be a curse, life can be a blessing
Life can be a pain, life can be insane
Life has its ways, life has its days
Life has its love, life has its hate
Life has its gentler touch but it has its harder punch
Life brings you your knees when you feel in need
Life brings you a lot of things but in the end it depends on what we do

Cygan, Heather (Pick)
View/Sign Guest Book
CYGAN (PICK) Heather (Pick) Cygan. Local hero and 10-TV news anchor, Heather (Pick) Cygan, lost her battle to breast cancer on Friday, November 7, 2008. Heather is survived by her husband, Joe; their children, Julia 7 and Jack 4; loving and supportive relatives and many, many close friends. Heather was the shining light in every room she entered as well as in the heart of every person she met. Not only was she sweet and caring, but the energy, courage and bravery bottled up in her petite frame exceeded that of an entire varsity cheerleading squad AND football team. Fighting and cheering for children. Fighting and cheering for women. Educating the public. Making loved ones laugh. Making strangers laugh. Brightening up the life everyone she came in contact with. These are the things for which this wonderful young woman will be remembered. Maybe her bright pink wigs too. There will be a private celebration of life for family and close friends. In lieu of flowers, Heather requested simply, "Don't wait. Give someone an unexpected gift just because you appreciate them. Take your own loved ones to a cherished community treasure or try something completely new." If you would like to make a donation in Heather's memory, please consider The Columbus Zoo, Nationwide Children's Hospital or the Stefanie Spielman Fund. A bench in Heather's honor will be dedicated by the pond upon entrance to the Columbus Zoo - a favorite place to visit with her family. Sign the online guestbook at www.dispatch.com/obituaries

The day we were given the news it shook us to the core We knew that life had changed in every way forever more Everyone asked how I am and I hope that they will see.
