STROKE IDENTIFICATION

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)

She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S * Ask the individual to SMILE.

T * Ask the person to TALK to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE(Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today)

R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

*NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this:

Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 911 immediately !! and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

malaking kahihiyan kapag bagsak ka sa exams;
! Simple lang ang pangarap: makatapos, makapag-asawa, mapagtapos ang mga
anak...
Pwedeng iwan ang sasakyan at ibilin sa hindi mo kakilala; wala namang

Mayroon kaming mga laruan na gawa namin at hindi binili: trak-trakan
(gawa sa rosebowl ang katawan at darigold na maliit ang mga gulong,
"sketeng" (scooter) na bearing na maingay ang mga gulong at de-sinkong pako
para sa preno; patining na pinitpit na tansan lang na may 2 butas sa gitna
para suotan ng sinulid (pwede pang makipag-lagutan) ; sumpak, pilatok,
boca-boca, borador, atbp.
Di nakikialam ang! mga matanda sa mga laro ng mga bata: kasi laro nga
iyon.
Maraming usong laro at maraming kasali: laste, gagamba, turumpo, tatsing
ng lata, pera namin ay kaha ng Philip Morris, Malboro, Champion (kahon-kahon
yon!)
May dagta ang dulo ng tinting na hawak mo para makahuli tutubi,
nandadakma ka ng palakang tetot, pero ingat ka sa palakang saging dahil sa

Namumugalgal ang pundiya ng kansolsilyo mo kasi nakasalampak ka sa lupa.
Sa modernong buhay at sa lahat ng kasaganaan sa high technology.. . di ba
minsan nangarap ka na rin... mas masaya noong araw!
Sana pwedeng maibalik...
Takot tayo ngayon sa buhay. Kasi maraming napapatay, nakikidnap,
maraming addict at masasamang loob...
Noon takot lang tayo sa ating mga magulang at mga lolo at lola. Pero
ngayon, alam na natin na mahal pala nila tayo kayat ayaw tayong mapahamak o
mapariwara.. . Na una silang nasasaktan pag pinapalo nila tayo...
Balik tayo sa nakaraan kahit saglit...
Bago magkaroon ng internet, computer, at cellphone.
Noong wala pang mga drugs at malls.
Bago pa nauso ang counter strike at mga game boys.
Tayo noon... Doon ...
Tinutukoy ko ang harang taga o tumbang preso kapag maliwanag ang buwan;

Unahan tayong sumagot sa Multiplication Table na
kabisado natin, kasi wala namang calculator.
Pag-akyat natin sa mga puno; pagkakabit ng kulambo, lundagan sa kama ;
Pagtikwas o pagtitimba sa poso; pingga ang pang-igib ng lalake at may

Inaasbaran ng mga suberbiyo;
Nginig na tayo pag lumabas na ang yantok-mindoro o buntot-page.
Nai-sako ka rin ba? O kaya naglagay ka ba ng karton
sa pwet para hindi masakit ang tsinelas o sinturon?
Pamimili ng bato sa bigas; tinda-tindahan na puro dahon naman;

Pag recess: mamimili ka sa garapon ng tinapay -alembong, taeng-kabayo ! o
biscocho?
Pwede ring ang sukli ay kending Vicks (meron pang libreng singsing) o

Madami pa...
Masarap ang kamatis na piniga sa kamay at lumabas

may siling labuyo; ang duhat kapag inalog sa asin; ang isa-sang isubo ang d!
aliri kasi puno na ng kanin...
Halo-halo: yelo, asukal at gatas lang ang sahog;
Sakang ang lakad mo at nakasaya ka kasi bagong tuli ka; o naghahanap ka
ng chalk kasi tinagusan ang palda mo sa eskwelahan.
Lipstick mo ay papel de hapon;
Labaha ang gamit para sa white-side-wall na gupit;
Naglululon ka ng banig pagkagising; m! atigas na amirol ang mga punda
at kumot; madumi ang manggas ng damit mo kasi doon ka nagpapahid ng sipon,
di ba? Pwede rin sa laylayan...
May mga program kapag Lunes sa paaralan;
May pakiling kang dala kung Biyernes kasi magi-isis ka ng desk.
Di ba masaya? Naalala mo pa ba?
Wala nang sasaya at gaganda pa sa panahon na yon...
Masaya noon at masaya pa rin tayo ngayon habang ina-alaala iyon...
Di ba noon...

Last Photo From the World Trade Center

I don't even have any words to say....

A photo from a camera with pictures that had been taken on the trade building of a tourist and the plane is heading behind him to hit the building. The camera was found by rescue workers and developed. I received this e-mail from a retired firefighter neighbor of ours who received it from a firefighter he worked with in Coronado, CA. He volunteered to be on the search and rescue mission and is there for 10 days. It is hard to believe it when you see it and wonder if the person taking the picture realized the plane was going to hit the center. They still don't know who the person is.

Water or Coke?

WATER

1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the world population.)


2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.


3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%.



4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.



5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.



6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.



7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a ! printed page.



8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?



COKE



1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.



2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.



3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.



4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.



5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.



6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.



7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.



8... To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.



FOR YOUR INFORMATION:



1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.



2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.



3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years!
Now the question is, would you like a glass of water? or Coke?

Very Interesting Facts!

1. The Garden of Eden was in Iraq

2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq , was the cradle of civilization!

3. Noah built the ark in Iraq

4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq

5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq !

6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq !

7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel

10. Amos cried out in Iraq !

11 Babylon , which is in Iraq , destroyed Jerusalem

15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq

16. Ezekiel preached in <>Iraq

17. The wise men were from Iraq .

18. Peter preached in Iraq

The 'Empire of Man' described in Revelation is called Babylon , which was a city in Iraq !And you have probably seen this one: Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second?

It is Iraq ! < /SPAN>

However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon , Land of Shinar , and Mesopotamia . The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris And Euphrates Rivers .

The name Iraq , means country with deep roots.Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.No other nation, except Israel , has more history and prophecy associatedWith it than IraqAnd also,

This is something to think about: Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages ...The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible)

Koran ( 9:11 ) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, whi le some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; And there was peace.(Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?!
