John Travolta’s 16-Year-Old Son Dies In Bahamas
NASSAU, Bahamas—Police in the Bahamas say John Travolta’s teenage son has died after injuring himself at the actor’s vacation home.
Police spokeswoman Loretta Mackey says 16-year-old Jett Travolta hit his head in a bathtub Friday morning. She said he was declared dead at Rand Memorial Hospital on Grand Bahama Island.
Jett was the oldest child of Travolta and his wife, actress Kelly Preston, who also have an 8-year-old daughter.

COLUMBUS, Ohio—Ohio’s unemployment rate remains above the national average at 7.3 percent.
But national numbers show unemployment in the nation increased from 6.5 percent in October to 6.7 percent in November. Many people are looking for ways to better market themselves, NBC 4‘s Tacoma Newsome reported.
Experts at a local temporary staffing agency said news in the auto and manufacturing industry is not getting better in 2009. But, Amy Harkins of Proteam Staffing said, temporary work is becoming a viable option to recently laid-off workers.
Harkins said there is a high probability that temporary contracts lead to long-term employment.
In addition to finance positions, the information technology field is expected to see a 4 percent increase.

From a Smaht Fella (or the reverse)
Yesterday I had a flat tire on the interstate, so I eased my car over to the shoulder of the road, then carefully got out of the car and opened the trunk.
I proceeded to take out 2 cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic.
They look so lifelike you wouldn't believe it!
They are in trench coats exposing their nude bodies and private parts to the approaching drivers.
To my surprise, cars start slowing down looking at my lifelike men, and of course, traffic starts backing up.
Everybody is tooting their horns and waving like crazy.
It wasn't long before a state trooper pulls up behind me.
He gets out of his car and starts walking toward me.
I could tell he was not a happy camper!
"What's going on here?"
"My car has a flat tire", I said calmly.
"Well, what the hell are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?"
I couldn't believe that he didn't know.
So I told him,
"Hellooooo, those are my emergency flashers!"

For Cold Relief, Try a Hot Fruit Drink
Getting over a cold virus takes time, but you don't need to feel miserable every moment until your sickness runs its course.Some people turn to over-the-counter medication to ease their congestion, coughs and other symptons. Other cold sufferers try folk remedies, like chicken soup.
The study was small, involving just 30 people who had not taken any other remedies for their symptoms. And it had some scientific limitations. But a researcher said the results were promising because they showed the drinks "provide immediate and sustained relief from most cold and flu symptoms, especially cough and sore throat
But the broth may not be the only thing in the kitchen that can make a person feel better. A new study suggests that hot fruit drinks can provide sustained relief for symptoms including coughing, sneezing, chills, sore throats, runny noses and fatigue, ABC News reports. The drinks were made from concentrated apple and black currant juices that were mixed with water and heated.

New Year’s Reflections
As a new year starts and an old one ends,
We contemplate what brought us joy,
And we think of our loved ones and our friends.
Remembering how they enriched our lives
We reflect upon who really counts,
As the fresh and bright new year arrives.
I/we immediately think of you.
COBRA RESPONSE FROM CORPORATE CONTACT!
RESPONSE I RECEIVED BACK FROM A CORPORATE CONTACT! IF YOU ARE ON COBRA NOW, START LOOKING FOR OTHER OUTSIDE INSIDE, IT WILL BE GONE BY THE END OF JAN 08
At this point I know that people on COBRA that worked for Value City will have coverage through January and maybe longer depending how long it takes the owners of Value City to close the company down. There would be no more COBRA after Value City is shut down, and a letter will go out to them to tell them the COBRA will end.
If there is no company to offer the insurance through, then there is no COBRA, some think because they went on COBRA before the company shut down they will continue till the COBRA is over, but that is not true.
Hope this helps

After serious & cautious consideration . . . Your contract of friendship has been renewed for the New Year 2009! It was a very hard decision to make. So try not to screw it up!!! My Wish for You in 2009 May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had forget your home address! In simple words . . . May 2009 be the best year of your life!!! |
Mark Twain
New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as ascapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls and humbug resolutions.

Let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you've always wanted to do but couldn't find the time. Call up a forgotten friend. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories. Vow not to make a promise you don't think you can keep. Walk tall, and smile more. You'll look ten years younger. Don't be afraid to say, 'I love you'. Say it again. They are the sweetest words in the world.

There is no moment like the present. The man who will not execute his resolutions when they are fresh upon him can have no hope from them afterwards: they will be dissipated, lost,and perish in the hurry and scurry of the world, or sunk in the slough of indolence.

It is difficult not to believe that the next year will be better than the old one!And this illusion is not wrong. Future is always good, no matter what happens.It will always give us what we need and what we want in secret. It will always bless us with right gifts. Thus in a deeper sense our belief in the New Year cannot deceive us.
Albert Einstein
I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play.

Bad night here, Tuesday night!
Got home from moms Tuesday night and there was a man outside down the street in the Asians yard yelling and waving his hands. I thought it was the dad outside with the dog. BY the time I got in the house the door bell rang and I thought it was Doug's mom.. I started to open the door but didn't see anyone..then I notice a man dressed in all black with a furry hat on in the front yard doing the same thing. He came back to the door , open then the storm door and was ringing the door bell over and over and beating hard on the door. I called Doug's dad hoping he could see the man or deter him. By then he was walking down the door. Call Columbus pd, has a cruiser, the helicopter and one of their equipment truck out here within 5 minutes. the cop said he was prob a mental out on the streets confused. the were going to search the area. Scared the crap out of me!
Please becareful and don't open the door to anyone!

Health Coverage - COBRA ????
DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS? I JUST SENT MY JANUARY COBRA PAYMENT AND THEY CASHED THE CHECK.. BUT BY THE WAY THIS READS IF THERE IS NO COMPANY, THEN THERE IS NO COBRA TO PAY IN TO????
BY LAW SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE TO SEND US SOME KIND OF NOTIFICATION????

Health Coverage
Don't fool yourself: You risk disaster if you allow health insurance to lapse between jobs –– even if it's only for a few weeks. The federal COBRA law, which gives you access to your ex-employer's group insurance plan after you leave the company, may be the best insurance bridge. Alas, there are major catches. You must pay the premiums, and the insurance will evaporate if your ex-employer goes out of business or drops its group health coverage.
So you may be forced to buy private insurance, which could offer inferior coverage. When you receive an offer for your next job, "bargain with the new employer to start your insurance" and waive the standard waiting period, advises Meena Patel, former human resources director and associate general council for Goinvest.com Inc. of Santa Monica, California; the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late 2000.
MAY WE ALL HAVE A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS 2009!
ENJOY!

A warning about potpourri and pets
A MEMBER ASKED FOR THIS TO BE FORWARED.
This is from my Chariots of the Dogs List to which I belong. I found it worthy of passing it along to all. Merry Christmas everyone and be safe!
"We have suffered a terrible, terrible tragedy last Wed. December 3rd 2008!! Two, beloved avaliers of mine, Haley and Zoe both ate potpourri from a decorative basket in my living room. Within hours, they were vomiting, convulsing, going into total body rigidity and shock. We took them to the after hours clinic. They had no idea what it could be and wouldn't listen to me about them vomiting the potpourri at home and my concerns about the toxic effects of it. They treated the symptoms. We transferred them to our day vet. He also wouldn't listen to me about the potpourri theory and said they had "strychnine" poisoning symptoms. I kept telling him that the potpourri was “Made in India”, sold by a company in California, and sold by my local Wal-Mart. My heart told me that it was the culprit of their condition.

They declined rapidly throughout the day and we transferred them back to the after hours clinic for a second night. At midnight, I made the agonizing decision to put them to sleep. Haley was in constant seizures that wouldn't stop, fluid was filling up in her lungs, body temp was dropping on both of them, and Zoe was lying almost lifeless on the table, struggling with every breath she took. Every muscle was completely rigid, you couldn't even move her. I have devoted the last couple of days (now that I can get out of bed and function) to researching my concerns with the potpourri and have since found out I was right. There is a lab in England that has case studies on toxic potpourri from India which in its commercial form the toxin strychnine comes from a certain tree grown in India. I am completely heart broken over this.
Please be aware of the potential toxins in any and all stuff like this in our homes. I would have never guessed this could happen but when I saw them both "playing" in the potpourri and then after about two hours saw the symptoms of a poisoning, I just put = two & two together.
