Plastic Warning

A friend of ours became very sick after drinking water left in a car overnight. It wasn't cancer but she was ill for a couple of months.   No matter how many times you get this e-mail, please send it on!!!! Bottled water in your car is very dangerous! On the Ellen show, Sheryl Crow said that this is what caused her breast cancer.  It has been identified as the most common cause of the high levels of  dioxin in breast cancer tissue..   Sheryl Crow's oncologist told her: women should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car. The heat reacts with the chemicals in the plastic of the bottle which releases dioxin into the water. Dioxin is a toxin increasingly found in breast cancer tissue. So please be careful and do not drink bottled water that has been left in a car.   Pass this on to all the women in your life. This information is the kind we need to know that just might save us! Use a stainless steel canteen or a glass bottle instead of plastic!  LET EVERYONE WHO IS OR HAS A WIFE / DAUGHTER KNOW PLEASE!   This information is also being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center: No plastic containers in microwaves. No plastic water bottles in freezers. No plastic wrap in microwaves.   Dioxin chemical causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to cells in our bodies. Don't freeze plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently the Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat and plastic releases dioxin into the food.   Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same result, but without the dioxin. So, such things as TV dinners, instant soups, etc., should be removed from their containers and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what's in the paper. It's safer to use tempered glass, such as Pyrex, etc.   He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the styrene foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.   Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Cling film, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.   This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life!

 

Barnie Needs His Master. So Do We

THE NATURAL WAY   “Barnie Needs His Master. So Do We.”  by Janice Stramel

            The little fellow presses his nose onto the sliding glass door. He relies on his ears and nose now; his eyesight is gone. Gone with the diabetes. And his body is riddled with old age and his short legs can no longer deal with a long, heavy body. The elderly dachshund senses someone is approaching. He gets excited and apprehensive. Maybe it’s his master. His paws click across the floor over to the other door as he hears the key in the lock. One sniff and disappointment sets in. It’s only that neighbor man that arrives regularly to put food in the dish and turn him outside for a spell. Barnie howls mournfully. Gives a bark or two to express his disgust. The neighbor is nice, but he’s just not the master. Where is the master? And for that matter, where is the mistress of this house? Always faithful and loyal. Always there for his every need.

            Poor little dog has no understanding of the situation. Mistress is in ICU at a Boise hospital. Master is tending to her. Neighbor comes several times daily to tend to him. Dog waddles around outside on the patio after eating. Still sniffing around trying to find the scent of Master. His brown, dachshund nose bumps the step, the concrete, the wall, the grass, the tires on the truck. No Master. No Mistress.

            It makes Neighbor sad to see his distress. He thinks of how we are like Barnie when we don’t have a Master. We wander around in the dark, howling and barking, searching for that someone or something to fill up our emptiness, our loneliness. We can’t see the truth. Our minds aren’t big enough to understand all our Master is doing. And unlike the little dog’s master, our Master never leaves us for any reason. He is always with us. We just can’t see Him. And sometimes we don’t hear Him. And even sadder yet, we don’t even know Him. We ignore His words of comfort. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest....I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:28-29). Find rest, all of you. For only Christ can relieve your burden.

            (Barnie’s master came home one evening. Barnie gave a joyous bark and howl complete with furious tail-wagging. Finally he went over to his spot, laid down, and went peacefully to sleep. See! That’s what happens when you hear Master open the door.)

Brilliantly explained!!! The national debt In terms we can ALL understand!

Brilliant! In terms we can ALL understand!

This is one of the best explanations of this country's economic condition I ever received...that is why I'm sending it out to you... Maybe you will appreciate it as I did...

Lesson # 1:
* U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
* Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000
* New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
* National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
* Recent budget cuts: $ 38,500,000,000

Let's now remove 8 zeros and pretend it's a household budget:
* Annual family income: $21,700
* Money the family spent: $38,200
* New debt on the credit card: $16,500
* Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
* Total budget cuts: $385

Got It ?????

OK now:

Lesson # 2:
Here's another way to look at the Debt Ceiling:
You come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in your neighborhood....and your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.
What do you think you should do....raise the ceilings, or pump out the crap?  Your choice is coming Nov. 2012

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm for pumping out the crap...
