PRAYER REQUEST |
DONNA >>ROCKYS SISTER
(Email from Rocky)
Donna has been seriously ill for quite some time now
and I'm really sad to say that she may
not make it through the night,
Donna is surrounded with her family at
her bedside.
Please say a prayer for Donna tonight
and her family as they try to cope
at this terribly sad time.
Donna you fought a long hard battle
God Bless you.
To The Prayer Warriors In PeaceKeepers:
Thanks for all the prayers that went
out especially to Shannon,
(NYDETRET) daughter.
Awhile back she had a tremendous
setback with the cancer and it didn't
look good for her.
Recently she has bounced back,
and the last
test results revealed no signs
of the cancer.
Thanks to each and everyone of
you who help
us with prayer requests.
God has performed some real
miracles that we have witnessed in
this group alone.
Please continue to participate with
the program, and lets give credit
where its due to the Almighty.
Thanks again.....prayer does work,
but only through
His will.
Tee
Our deepest Sympathy
To LizBiz and her family.
Liz's baby grand-daughter
Ambrielle Marialene
born July 13, 2008
passed away on Oct 5, 2008.
Please keep all of this family in your prayers
as they deal with this very tragic time.
Liz has offered a photo link below.
God Bless this little angel

Recently Dan's (aka)NYDRET, daughter
Shannon underwent radical surgery
for an agressive cancer in her
neck and lungs,we have an update
on Shannons progress which is extremly good.
below is an extract from an email I recieved today.
Last Wednesday she went to her
oncologist for her 4th. chemo treatment .
when she went into his office he looked at her ,
smiled at her and said . " You know ,
I never expected to see you having your
4th treatment . I never thought you would
make it this far , you were a very sick lady ,
and now your my prized patient . He told her
that she now only has a pea sized cancer on
her lungs , and the tumor in her neck has reduced .
He thinks , with some more luck , she will only
need two more chemo treatments . Shannon told
me she met her brother in NYC and they went to
dinner and the theater . They walked 14 blocks
from the train station to the restaurant , and
she said she felt so good . She hasn't been
able to do that in awhile .
I want to thank you and all the roomies for all
the support and prayers .I know in my heart
the prayers are what has helped her.
But I'll ask that we continue with the prayers
until Shannon is completely healed .
God Bless you ,and Bobby and the children ,
and Tom and all the roomies who have
said prayers for her.

STUPID CROOKS:
A man was arrested last night after throwing a brick
into the Plexiglas window of a jewelry store...
the brick bounced back,
hit him in the head and knocked him cold
until the police got there. |
:
Police interrogated a suspect by placing
a metal colander on his head and connecting
it with wires to a photocopy machine.
The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier,
and police pressed the copy button each time
they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth.
Believing the "lie detector" was working,
the suspect confessed. |
:
As a female shopper exited a convenience store,
a man grabbed her purse and ran.
The clerk called 911 immediately and the woman
was able to give them a detailed description of
the snatcher, and police apprehended him
within minutes. They put him in the cruiser
and drove back to the store.
The thief was then taken out of the car and
told to stand there for a positive ID.
To which he replied,
"Yes Officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from." |
:
Police in Los Angeles had good luck
with a robbery suspect who just couldn't
control himself during a lineup.
When detectives asked each man in the
lineup to repeat the words,
"Give me all your money or I'll shoot,"
the man shouted,
"That's not what I said!" |
:
Karen Lee Joachimi, 20, was arrested
for robbery of a Howard Johnson's motel.
She was armed with only an electric chainsaw,
which was not plugged in. |
:
When his .38 caliber revolver failed to fire
at his intended victim during a hold-up in
Long Beach, California, robber James Eliot
peered down the barrel and tried it again.
This time, it worked. |
:
A guy wearing pantyhose on his face tried
to rob a store in a mall.
When security came, he quickly grabbed
a shopping bag and pretended to be shopping,
forgetting that he was still wearing the pantyhose.
He was captured and his loot was returned to the store. |
:
Richard Avella, a 350 pound New York man,
entered a Long Island jewellery store,
drew a gun, and told the clerk,
"This is a stick-up,"
then tripped and fell to the floor.
He was unable to get up before police arrived.
|
:
Ron Hoffman of Crystal, Kentucky,
picked up a machete and lopped off the red roof light of a Pennsylvania state police cruiser.
After his arrest, Hoffman explained it was
"just something he always wanted to do..."
|
:
A man went into a drug store, pulled a gun,
announced a robbery, and pulled a Hefty-bag
face mask over his head, and realised that
he'd forgotten to cut eye holes in the mask.

HEALTH ISSUES AND TIPS |
Get a scroller sign at http://www.crazyprofile.com.com!
Reference diabetes information
American Diabetes Association
www.diabetes.org/
They have tons of stuff along with
suggested recipes, etc.
The first thing to deal with in understanding
that ones has diabetes is........
getting past "denial".
Most people will want a second or third opinion....
some will insist they don't have it and will
try to continue doing what they have all along.
The ideal glucose (sugar) level range
is 102 - 117. If it goes much below that,
or above that range you have a problem.
Diabetes is controlled through proper diet,
exercise, and usually medication.
The earlier its detected the better it is to
come up with a plan to control it.
Some people can actually stay on a good
diet and exercise program, and do not have
to take medication. Check your sugar level,
and check it often.
There is no such thing as "a borderline diabetic".
Either you have it, or you don't have it.
If you do, then you need to decide to control it,
instead of allowing it to control you.
Keep in mind, that you can have up to 15-servings
of food per day.
1-serving = approximately 3-ounces.
So therefore its recommended you could get
by with even less than that amount,
perhaps even 12-servings.
CARBS & SUGAR
*************************
Pay attention to your carbohydrate intake.
Carbohydrates turn into 100% sugar.
Thats why many diabetics read the labels
on the food they buy, checking more to the
carbohydrate content, as to the sugar content.
Also, keep in mind just because
the packaging may have "No Sugar" or "Sugar Free"
you still need to check that label.
Many of the sugar free item's have more
carbohydrates than the regular type food item.
Also, you can subscribe to the Diabetes Forecast,
a magazine designed for those of us with diabetes.
In it you will find articles relating to the disease,
and also a good recipe section,
usually four different suggestions per issue.
It has a penpal section where you can contact
others and share your knowledge with others
that have the same problem.
There is generally a question/answer section, also.
If you are diagnosed with it, its recommended
to keep on your person, or near you items
like glucose tablets in case you have an
extreme sugar low.
You can buy these at most drug stores,
or pharmacies.
BE PREPARED
*******************
You may want to opt to have fresh
fruit like an orange.
Even a candy bar (1/2) or the real
Classic Coke can help bring up the sugar level.
A tube of cake icing is another quick
remedy, and easy to keep on hand.
You should eat your meals on a regular basis,
skipping a meal is not a good idea for any diabetic.
Try planning your meals in a measured amount,
and try to eat near the same time each day.
You can have snacks between meals,
but they have to be of regulated sensible nature.
You should have on your person some
type of designation advising others that
you are a diabetic.
Many wear a bracelet or a necklace with
that information, and some even
include the type of medication you take.
Have a list of all your medications either on
your person, or in your purse just in case
you become a victim of a medical emergency.
In the home, have a similar list posted either
on the refrigerator door, or a visible bulletin board,
or message center so emergency personnel can find it.
Another good means of treatment
is for anyone with diabetes to take
classes on how to manage it.
Many places offer these,
including some health plans.
If you would like further information,
contact Tee.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the "3" steps, STR . Read
and Learn!
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 and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. It is sunny out today)
R *Ask him or
her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with
ANY ONE of these tasks,
call 999/911 immediately and describe the
symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out
his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the
other,that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this,
you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
MENTAL HEALTH
************************
Only a few years ago this subject was taboo.
No one talked about it,and if you did,
you were immediately "Labeled"
Thank goodness and thanks to media
exposure, this subject is no longer
the scarey subject that people shun from.
Today almost every person world wide
has a family member suffering from
some sort of mental health issue,
wheather it be, depression,anxiety,
panic attacks,or other conditions.
The important thing to remember is,
there is a multitude of help available.
If you think you need help,
contact your clinic or doctor.
Don't try and deal with it on your own.
Here in Australia, there are many
organisations that are there to help.
Beyond Blue and LifeLine
are just two that are constantly
in the media.
Remember
"You are NOT alone"
Why am I talking about this subject ,
I can hear you say...
Well as most of our regulars know,
this time last year I recovered from
major surgery..and not long after that
I was a survivor of a "Hit & Run"
while crossing a road.
The physical injuries healed but
the impact of the accident sent me
mentally into a downward spiral.
I now suffer from Agraphobia...Anxiety..
Post Traumatic Stress
and Depression.
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever
think I would be in this position.
Depression to me just 12 months
or so ago just didnt feature in my vocabulary..
until it happened to me.
Thankfuly I have a wonderful Doctor
who is still treating me for all the above,
but he also put me in touch with a
Personal Support Program and
Victims Of Crime Support
(both Therapy groups)
without this help I don't think
I would be where I am today..
I call my self a Survivor as
opposed to Victim because
Survivor is the positive..
I know I will rise above this in time.
So please seek help
and as I said earlier
You are Not Alone
there are people willing to help.

SAFETY MESSAGE FROM TEE
I know how it feels to wake up some morning and find a vehicle missing out of my driveway. It happened to me, but they broke a window to get mine.
Then took the truck out to a desolate location removed the tailgate, splashed it with gasoline, and burned it.
When I got the new replacement I immediately had an alarm installed, and purchased a steering lock, as well as a brake pedal lock. Not to mention I bought additional ammo for two different handguns.
*******
Here is info worth the price of your car....
WHAT WILL the car thieves
THINK OF NEXT?
The car thieves peer through the windshield
of your car or truck,
write down the VIN # from the label on the dash,
go to the local car dealership and request
a duplicate key based on the VIN #.
I didn't believe this e-mail,
so I called Chrysler-Dodge and
pretended I had lost my keys
They told me to just bring in the VIN #,
and they would cut me one on the spot,
and I could order the keyless
device if Iwanted.
The Car Dealer's Parts Department will make a
duplicate key from the VIN #,
and collect payment from the thief who will return
to your car.
He doesn't have to break in, do any damage to the
vehicle, or draw attention to himself.
All he has to do is walk up to your car,
insert the key and off he goes to a local
Chop Shop with your vehicle.
You don't believe it?
It IS that easy.
To avoid this from happening to you,
simply put some tape (electrical
tape, duct tape or medical tape)
across the VIN Metal Label located on
the dash board.
By law, you cannot remove the VIN,
but you CAN cover it so it can't be
viewed through the windshield by a car thief.
I slipped a 3 x 5 card over the VIN NUMBER.
USA ONLY

G'Day USA |
Well this edition is way overdue
and I'd like to apologise for the lateness.
In the past few months Bobby and I have
lost 5 good friends in 6 months,
all a great shock,
and to top it off the loss of
2 celebrities in one week
was just a bit too much.
But as harsh at it may sound, life goes on,
these tragedies just make you take
stock of your life and make you
appreciate loved ones and friends
a whole lot more.
With that being said..
here we are back on deck and ready
to bring you the best news to the
best friends on the Wide World Web.
So with a heavy heart but a smile on my face...
lets get on with the show!
