Long Distance

 

You may have seen a reference to this statement in the papers recently - The cheap long-distance plan, which allows 1,000 minutes of calls anywhere in North America, was launched last June as a way to encourage customers to buy a bundle of services that include high-speed Internet, wireless and satellite-television.

The following is the latest update on the above Long Distance Plan. It is a long distance plan for $5 you get 1000 minutes available within the Bell bundled (not the $5 discount per product). Since May 1st, the directive was to stop promoting the LD plan; only customers who were asking for it would receive it. Starting July 3rd, the plan will not be available anymore even if customers ask for it. The customers who already have the plan will be able to keep it and benefit from it (grand-father clause).

 

Rules

Never give yourself a haircut after three alcoholic beverages of any kind.

You need only two tools. WD 40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD 40. If it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape.

If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance.

Be really nice to your friends and family. You never know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.

 

Recognizing a Stroke

 

Susie is recouping at an incredible pace for someone with a massive stroke all

because Sherry saw Susie stumble--that is the key that isn't mentioned below

and then she asked Susie the 3 questions

 

So simple-- This literally saved Susie's life--Some angel sent it to Susie's friend

and they did just what it said to do. Susie failed all three question so 911 was

called. Even though she had normal blood pressure readings and did not appear

to be having a stroke as she could converse to some extent with the Paramedics

they took her to the hospital right away. Thank God for the sense to remember

the 3 steps! Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to

identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.

The stoke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognized

the symptoms of a stoke.

 

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple

questions:

 

1-Ask the individual to SMILE

 

2-Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS

 

3-Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (coherently)

(i.e., It is sunny out today)

 

If her or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 911 immediately and

describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

 

After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial

weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general

public to learn the three questions.

 

They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual

meeting last February.

 

Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the

stoke and prevent brain damage. A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this

message passes it on to ten people, you can bet that a least one life will be saved.
