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. It takes less than a minute (How about 20 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box "fund food for animals" for free.

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

Holiday Music Added to the Site!

I have added a Holiday Music box to our site.

Just click on any song and then the songs will roll the the list.

Hope you enjoy the songs!

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.

by Atef Ayadi

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!

Daily Poem

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 .
