A Wonderful Story

FW: Give Love a Chance‏


Sent: Monday, 22 Dec, 2008 10: 33 AM







A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said 'I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.'


'Is the man of the house home?', they asked.


'No', she replied. 'He's out.'


'Then we cannot come in', they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.

'Go tell them I am home and invite them in!'

The woman went out and invited the men in'


'We do not go into a House together,' they replied.


'Why is that?' she asked.



One of the old men explained: 'His name is Wealth,' he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, 'He is Success, and I am Love.' Then he added, 'Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.'



The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. 'How nice!!', he said. 'Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!'


His wife disagreed. 'My dear, why don't we invite Success?'

Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: 'Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!'

'Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice,' said the husband to his wife.

'Go out and invite Love to be our guest.'

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, 'Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.'


Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: 'I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?'

The old men replied together: 'If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!!'

MY WISH FOR YOU...
-Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy.
-Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through it.
-Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength.
-Where there is fear, I wish you love, and courage.

Spanish LOGIC

Subject: FW: Spanish LOGIC!
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2008 12:59:24 +0000

A Spanish Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.'
'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'

A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:

1 No one but their creator understands their internal logic ;

2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;

3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

(THIS GETS BETTER!)

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;

2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.

Send this to all the smart women you know...and all the men that have a sense of humor.

Great Household Tips


Subject: FW: Great household tips

Great tips!!!

How many of these did YOU know about? Or remember??

A sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed.
(hmmmmmm...)

============================================
Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords . It keeps them neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to.

============================================
For icy door steps in freezing temperatures:
get warm water and put dawn dish washing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won't refreeze. (wish I had known this for the last 40 years!)

============================================
To remove old wax from a glass candle holder , put it in the freezer for a few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The wax will fall out.

=================================================

Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in baking soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!).

====================================
Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt BLUE!) rubbing alcohol on paper towel.

=============================================
Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads , I immediately take a pair of scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that this would be much more economical. Now a box of S.O.S pads last me indefinitely! In fact, I have noticed that the scissors get 'sharpened'' this way!

=============================================
Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works every time! (Now, where to put the body?) LOL

============== ========================
Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal for inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks. Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean. Don't wash windows on a sunny day. They will dry t oo quickly and will probably streak.

=======================================
Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely light scent in each room when the light is turned on.

========================================
Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell freshly washed for weeks to come. Y ou can also do this with towels and linen.

=======================================
Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3 hours prior to burning.

=======================================
To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag an d add the flowers. Shake vigoro usly as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm!

=======================================
To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet , simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stove top.

======================================
Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring In tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.

=======================================
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

================================ =======
When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn's natural sweetness

.=====================================
Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it i n half, and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

=======================================

=======================================
To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area and you will experience instant relief.

======================================

Ants, ants, ants everywhere .. Well, they are said to never cross a c
halk line. So, get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march. See for yourself.

============================== ========

Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still, leaves a lovely smell to the shine.

======================================
When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, and then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily.

The Way Children See Things

Subject: The way children see things

(1) NUDITY

I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when
a Woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark
naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from
the back seat, "Mom! That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!

(2) MORE NUDITY

A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's
locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with
ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in
amazement and then asked, "What's the matter haven't you ever seen a
little boy before?"

(3) HONESTY

My son Zachary, 4, came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he'd
dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. So I fished it out and threw it in
the garbage. Zachary stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to my
bathroom and came out with my toothbrush. He held it up and said with a
charming little smile, "We better throw this one out too then, 'cause it
fell in the toilet a few days ago.

(4) OPINIONS

On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a Note
from his mother. The note read, "The opinions expressed by this child
are not necessarily those of his parents,"

(5) Tomato Sauce

A woman was trying hard to get the sauce to come out of
the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter
to answer the phone. "It's the minister, Mommy," the child said to her
mother. Then she added, "Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you
right now. She's hitting the bottle,"

(6) ELDERLY

While working for an organisation that delivers lunches to elderly
hospices, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds.
The various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and
wheelchairs, unfailingly intrigued her. One day I found her staring at
a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the
inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered,
"The tooth fairy will never believe this!"

(7)DRESS-UP

A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw
her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that
suit," "And why not, darling?" "You know that it always gives you a
headache the next morning,"

(8) DEATH

While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister
heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt.
Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin.
Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small
box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal
of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate
prayers and with sonorous dignit y intoned his version of what he
thought his Father always said "Glory be unto the Faaaather, and unto the Sonnn
... and into the hole he gooooes,"

(9) SCHOOL

A little girl had just finished her first week of school.
"I'm just wasting my time," she said to her mother. "I can't read,
I can't write and they won't let me talk!"

(10) BIBLE

A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he
fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the
Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old
leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I
found", the boy called out. "What have you got there, dear?" With
astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think it's
Adam's underwear!"

Breathing Therapy

Subject: MUST Read - Breathing Therapy
Date: Friday, November 14, 2008, 4:00 AM




Wonder how true it is, but anyway, no harm trying, so !!!!!!!!!!!!???????

Good day.


Breathing Therapy

The nose has a left and a right side,; we use both to inhale and exhale..
Actually they are different, you would be able to feel the difference.

The right side represents the sun, left side represents the moon.


During a headache, try to close your right nose
and use your left nose to breathe.

In about 5 mins, your headache will be gone. If you feel tired, just
reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose.
After a while, you will feel your mind is re-freshed .


Right side belongs to 'hot', so it gets heated up easily, left side
belongs to 'cold'.
Most females breathe with their left noses, so they get "cooled off"
faster.

Most of the guys breathe with their right noses, they get worked up.


Do you notice the moment we wake up, which side breathes faster? Left or
right? If left is faster, you will feel tired.
So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing, you will
get refreshed quickly.
This can be taught to kids, but it is more effective when practised by
adults.


My friend used to have bad headaches and was always visiting the doctor.

There was this period when she suffered headache literally every night,
and unable to study. She took painkillers, did not work.
She decided to try out the breathing therapy here: closed her right nose
and breathed through her left nose.
In less than a week, her headaches were gone! She continues the exercise
for one month.

This alternative natural therapy without medication is something that she
has experienced.

So, why not give it a try ?

Gallstones Removal (6-day treatment)

----- Original Message -----

Please note always consult your doctor first before any alternative treatment or remedy.

Dear All,


this is a useful piece of information that you may have received
before.


This is true and it works. You can 'google' Dr Lai Chiu-Nan to find
out more about her and the feedbacks of this treatment.

ps. as always, spread the good things

Pictures first, explanation and procedure follows:


1. Liver
2. Common Bile Duct
3. Gallstones
4. Gallbladder

REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY
by Dr Lai Chiu-Nan

It has worked for many. If it works for you please pass on the
good news. Chiu Nan is not charging for it, so we should make it free for
everyone. Your reward is when someone, through your word of mouth,
benefits from the regime. Gallstones may not be everyone's concern. But they
should be because we all have them. Moreover, gallstones may lead to cancer.
"Cancer is never the first illness,"


Chiu Nan points out. "Usually, there are a lot of other problems leading to cancer. In my research in China, I came across some materials which say that people with cancer usually have stones. We all have gallstones. It's a matter of big or small, many or few. One of the symptoms of gallstones is bloated feeling after a heavy meal. You feel like you can't digest the food. If it gets more serious, you feel pain in the liver area."


So if you think you have
gallstones, Chiu Nan offers the following method to remove them
naturally. The treatment is also good for those with a weak liver, because
the liver and gallbladder are closely linked.


Regimen:
1. For the first five days, take four glasses of apple juice (green apples preferred)
every
day. Or eat four or five apples, whichever you prefer. Apple juice
softens
the gallstones. During the five days, eat normally.
2. On the sixth day, take no dinner.
3. At 6 PM, take a teaspoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate)
with a glass of warm water. (Drink slowly because of swallowing difficulties)
4. At 8 PM, repeat the same. Magnesium sulphate opens the
gallbladder ducts.
5. At 10 PM, take half cup olive oil (or sesame oil) with half
cup fresh lemon juice. Mix it well and drink it. The oil lubricates the
stonesto ease their passage.

PS. 1cup=250ml, ½ cup lemon juice=3 lemons (aprox.)

The next morning, (bowel movement) you will find green stones in your stools.
Usually they float," Chiu Nan notes. "You might want to count them. I
have had people who passes 40, 50 or up to 100 stones. Very many."
"Even if you don't have any symptoms of gallstones, you still
might have some. It's always good to give your gall bladder a clean-up now
and then.


PASS THIS AND YOU MAY HELP OTHERS!
