thirty second quiz

Don't bother getting a pen and paper... just read... if you can't
answer them, just keep going.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer prize.

5. Name the last five Academy Award winners for Best Actor and Actress.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remembers the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They're the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Now here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. Name three teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worth while.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson?

The people who make a difference in your life aren't the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They're the ones who care.

ECZEMA?

Eczema is an uncomfortable skin disorder. But, if topical treatments are not working, perhaps you should try healing eczema with juice. Juice is an easily absorbable way to get the vital nutrients for healing this condition.

Juices: red grapes, black currants, spinach, beets and carrots. Cucumber is widely used both topically and ingested as an added ingredient.

But beware that in the beginning of fasting, or juicing the problem may seem worse before it gets better. This is due to the large amount of impurities leaving the body thus irritating it slightly. When the bulk of the problem elements are gone the condition will be eliminated.

my resignation

I am hereby officially tendering my
resignation as an adult. I have decided
I would like to accept the responsibilities
of an 8 year-old.

I want to go to McDonald's and
think that it's a four star restaurant.

I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud
puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.

I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.

I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.

I want to return to a time when life was simple; When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care.

All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.

I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good.

I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.

I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.

I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.

So... here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood.

And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause........

......"Tag! You're it."

HOMEOPATHIC COLD REMEDIES…

The following are various homeopathic cold remedies that have been used safely and effectively for centuries. Homeopathy is an ancient practice that is being revived in these modern times. The process might’ve changed slightly but the end result is still the same.
• Aconite napellus: symptoms are strong and come on rapidly, dry stuffy nose, tension in the chest, a scratchy or dry throat, and choking cough
• Allium cepa: burning or stinging watery eyes, a tickling cough, excessive sneezing.
• Arsenicum album: frequent cold and sore throat sufferer, weakness, restlessness, and excessive sneezing.
• Baryta carbonica: cold sufferers that catch colds repeatedly and are usually from getting too cold, frequent tonsil irritation and inflamed lymph nodes.
• Gelsemium: severe achiness and lethargy with a headache or migraine generally need this specific homeopathic cold remedy. The chills are generally restricted to the back.
• Natrum muriaticum: thick, clear mucus discharge from the nose, sneezing, inability to smell and taste, and dry skin with chapped lips.
• Nux vomica: is one of the homeopathic cold remedies that deal with the temperament of a person during the cold. Example: irritable, sensitive to light and sound as well as being very impatient.
• Pulsatilla: yellow or green thick mucus is present, stuffy nose in the heat and runny nose in the cold air.
• Rhus toxicodendron: intense aches and pains.

no legs

When an accident deprived the village headman of the use of his legs, he took to walking on crutches. He gradually developed the ability to move with speed -- even to dance and execute little pirouettes for the entertainment of his neighbors.

Then he took it into his head to train his children in the use of crutches. It soon became a status symbol in the village to walk on crutches, and before long everyone was doing so.

By the fourth generation no one in the village could walk without crutches. The village school included "Crutchery -- Theoretical -- Applied" in its curriculum and the village craftsmen became famous for the quality of the crutches they produced. There was even talk of developing an electronic, battery-operated set of crutches!

One day a young Turk presented himself before the village elders and demanded to know why everyone had to walk on crutches since they had been provided with legs to walk on. The village elders were amused that this upstart should think himself wiser than they so they decided to teach him a lesson. "Why don't you show us how?" they said.

"Agreed!" replied the young man.

A demonstration was fixed for the following Sunday at the village square. Everyone was there when the young man hobbled on his crutches to the middle of the square, stood upright, and dropped his crutches. A hush fell on the crowd as he took a bold step forward -- and fell flat on his face.

With that everyone was confirmed in their belief that it was quite impossible to walk without the help of crutches.

“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.”

IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY!

Did you know that memory problems can merely be a sign of vitamin deficiency? It is true. There are some vitamins that actually improve the memory and brain function. Even in cases of dementia and Alzheimer’s the decline of one’s memory can directly have to do with the lack of nutrients consumed.

If your diet isn’t allowing the necessary nutrients a vitamin supplement can be used to stop the problem and significantly improve memory. B vitamins are a perfect example of brain optimizing vitamins. Studies show that they can reduce these types of problems even in aging individuals.

INCREASE SEX DRIVE NATURALLY

If you want to increase your sex drive you first need to stop listening to those commercials that are trying to sell you a fix all pill that is supposed to turn you into a horny devil. It has been proven time and time again that they are not only very expensive but most of them don’t work.

The bottom line is this: Don’t be fooled by companies looking to make a buck by hiring cheap actors to play the part of a sexual active person all due to the wonder pill. Of course Viagra is a valid choice but it is very expensive. There are herbal choices that do exactly the same thing for only a few dollars. And the supplements can do more for the body in general while also boosting sexual desire.
