 River Here is one for you!
 
 River ya seem to have a good sense of humor , and since I realize you are not a recent graduate of Ms Pringley's School for proper young ladies you will appreciate this LOL!
 Pharmacology:
 All drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name.
 Example, the trade name is Tylenol and its generic name is
 Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen.
 
 Amoxil
 Is also call Amoxicillin and Advil is also called
 Ibuprofen.
 
 
 
 The FDA has been
 Looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful
 Consideration by a team of government experts, it recently
 Announced that it has settled on the generic name of
 Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin,
 Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course,
 Ibepokin.
 
 
 Pfizer
 Corp. Announced today that Viagra will soon be available in
 Liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power
 Beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible
 For a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we
 Can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning
 To the names of 'cocktails', 'highballs' and just a good
 Old-fashioned 'stiff drink'. Pepsi will market the new
 Concoction by the name of: MOUNT &
 DO.
 
 
 Thought for the day:
 There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra
 Today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040,
 There should be a large elderly population with perky boobs
 And huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to
 Do with them.

 Well, first off, in the original layout this read like bad poetry (short lines and at the very least double line spacing). What this means it that it has been copied, copied, and copied again. And guess what, it got better in the telling. Well, as a story perhaps, but not as advice. Snopes to the rescue. Besides criticizing some tips, Snopes also has some other tips.Originally posted by Peter Hansen View PostEveryone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or love one's life
 
 ...
 
 This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on America 's Most Wanted when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana. ...
 
 Snopes also marks the Crying Baby Theory as a plain urban legend, which got attached for the sake of veracity, or something. No, it wasn’t mentioned. Nowhere. Except in posts like these.

 IT is unfortunate that we do have some "scum of the earth" walking around , and one must be aware of his surroundings when out and about!

 Well, some of the tips were not very good and that rather cuts into the bottom line. But I surely agree with the awareness part.Originally posted by Peter Hansen View PostKarel, yes probably some urban legends here .....but bottom line if one of the tips saves someones life ......it was worth it.

 Can You Believe this?
 
 This article appeared in the "Weird But True Column" in the 2/11/10 NY POST .
 Gezzzzzzz did this lady ever play the lottery?........Oh Lord what luck!
 
 Weird but tragically true.
 
 A Hong Kong woman was killed as she walked down the street when she was struck by an elderly woman who fell from a window as she took in her laundry.
 
 The 74-year-old woman, who plunged 27 stories, was also killed. Oddly, the woman on the ground was recently widowed when a falling crane killed her husband as he walked down a street.

 A Beautiful Poem!
 
 Slow Dance
 by
 David L. Weatherford
 Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round
 Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?
 Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
 Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
 
 You better slow down
 Don't dance so fast
 Time is short
 The music won't last
 
 Do you run through each day on the fly
 When you ask "How are you?" do you hear the reply?
 When the day is done, do you lie in your bed
 With the next hundred chores running through your head?
 
 You'd better slow down
 Don't dance so fast
 Time is short
 The music won't last
 
 Ever told your child,
 We'll do it tomorrow
 And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
 
 Ever lost touch,
 Let a good friendship die
 'Cause you never had time to call and say "Hi"?
 
 You'd better slow down
 Don't dance so fast
 Time is short
 The music won't last
 
 When you run so fast to get somewhere
 You miss half the fun of getting there.
 When you worry and hurry through your day,
 It is like an unopened gift....
 Thrown away...
 
 Life is not a race.
 Do take it slower
 Hear the music
 Before the song is over.
