Health Info - Kesadaran [tidak] Merokok

Merokok adalah suatu tindakan yang "berani", karena nyawa taruhannya.
Baik itu nyawa sendiri, keluarga maupun orang lain. Asap tembakau yang [jelas-jelas] mengandung racun, telah merenggut nyawa 'penikmatnya'.

Tentang rokok dan statistiknya bisa dibolak-balik dulu di medline plus dan di Komnas Penanggulangan Masalah Merokok.

Secara sosial, asap rokok meninggalkan "jejak" pada bau mulut, gusi, gigi dan pakaian. Secara ekonomi, penghematan dari merokok tentu bisa dialihkan untuk hal lain yang lebih bermanfaat.

Merokok dikatakan sebuah pilihan. Rokok tetap ada karena pabrik rokok menghidupi banyak tenaga kerja. Negara juga mendapat hasil dari cukai rokok yang tidak sedikit.

Namun...sungguh ironis. Selain menghidupi rakyat pekerja rokok dan bangsa kita pada umumnya, rokok juga lambat laun mencabut kehidupan para "penikmat" rokok, baik itu perokok aktif maupun perokok pasif (yang tidak kalah berbahayanya).

Lepas dari beban negara menanggung biaya kesehatan yang 3 kali lipat dari pendapatan cukai rokok, lepas dari peraturan-peraturan dilarang merokok, merokok adalah berbahaya bagi kesehatan, merugikan secara sosial dan ekonomi.

Apa yang bisa kita lakukan..akankah kita biarkan asap rokok merenggut nyawa orang-orang yang kita sayangi..

Bagi yang [masih] merokok karena "pilihan" hidup, kini juga harus menghargai [pilihan hidup] yang tidak merokok. Larangan merokok di tempat-tempat umum mesti diperhatikan..racunmu bukan untukku..:)

Mari tidak merokok...
Mari berhenti merokok...

The Natural Medicine Of Humor Helps You With Santa's Identity

Thirty years ago my then nine-year-old son, Greg, asked me an earth-shattering question: "Dad, I want you to tell me the truth," he said. "Is Santa Claus real?"

I told him, without hesitation, that, "Yes, son, Santa Claus is real."

I wasn't The Laugh Doctor yet, but I was already investigating, and experimenting with, humor as a natural medicine. As a psychiatrist, I understood that your thoughts and attitudes create your reality. I intuitively knew that there was more to humor than the research was telling us.

It stood to reason that if you used humor as a natural medicine, you would change your reality as you changed your attitude. After all, life is like a glass of water - you either see it as half-full or half-empty. Either way it's the same glass of water - so, given the choice, why wouldn't you choose to see it as half-full?

And I've since proven, beyond the shadow of any doubt, that you have no better resource than the natural medicine of humor to help you see the glass as half-full today.

My early understanding of the natural medicine of humor helped me explain my answer to Greg. Here's what I told him:

"Yes, Greg, Santa is real.

Santa Claus is magical and he is real, but his magic is a special magic just for children who believe in him. The moment you decide not to believe in him, he is no longer real for you. And your Mom and I will then make your Christmas as special for you as Santa does.

Now, it's okay if you decide not to believe in Santa Claus; I promise you will still have a wonderful Christmas. But it's also okay to believe in Santa and, as long as you decide to do so, he is as real as I am."

To which my daughter, Rebecca, immediately chimed in, "Greg, I know Santa is real. Think about it - he brings us big, expensive presents. Mom and Dad can't afford those presents!"

Those words are still just as true today! Here's to your use of the natural medicine of humor this holiday season!

Wellness with Mattresses?

I found that the right mattress ads a lot of wellness to your life and quality to your sleep.

This material of a tempurpedic is a breakthrough in sleep technology that will change the way you sleep. The original formula for the mattress was developed in the early 70's at the NASA in an effort to relieve astronauts of the incredible g-forces experienced during lift-off. Tempurpedic has used this technology to create Tempurpedic mattresses that automatically react to your body's weight, shape, and temperature to provide unsurpassed comfort and therapeutic support. Billions of viscoelastic memory cells conform exactly to your body, alleviating counter-pressure and promoting deep REM sleep.

How The Natural Medicine Of Humor Can Help You With Employee Recommendations

Ever have to write a letter of recommendation for a fired employee? Or, ever have to make a decision about hiring someone you aren’t sure about? These key phrases may give you a clue about the REAL meanings. You never know when they might come in handy – or serve as fair warning!

Regarding an employee who is chronically absent:

"A man like him is hard to find."

"It seemed her career was just taking off."


For the office drunk:

"I feel his real talent is wasted here."

"We generally found him loaded with work to do."

"Every hour with him was a happy hour."


For an employee with no ambition:

"He could not care less about the number of hours he
had to put in."

"You would indeed be fortunate to get this person to
work for you."


For an employee who is so unproductive that
the job is better left unfilled:

"I can assure you that no one would be better for the job."


For an employee who is not worth further consideration
as a job candidate:

"I would urge you to waste no time in making this candidate
an offer of employment."

"All in all, I cannot say enough good things about this
candidate or recommend him too highly."


For a stupid employee:

"There is really nothing you can teach a man like him."

"I most enthusiastically recommend this candidate with no
qualifications whatsoever."


For a dishonest employee:

"Her true ability was deceiving."

"He's an unbelievable worker."

The Natural Medicine Of Humor Helps With Hair Loss Stress

Are you losing your hair? If so, have you experienced hair loss stress like millions of Americans? Think I don't know about hair loss stress? Check out my photo on my home page.

I started going bald in my mid-twenties...and I was a very vain young man! I had hair loss stress for over a decade and, like many, spent hundreds on ointments, cures, and fixes.

But I never found a magic bullet and neither will you. And as long as you continue to search for one, you'll have no end to your hair loss stress.

Do you need to take the plunge like me and shave your head? Nope. That action was very liberating for me, but you should feel free to pursue whatever appearance makes you the most comfortable.

What I do recommend to alleviate your hair loss stress is to use the natural medicine of humor. How? Read my hair loss stress article for some great ideas on how to do that.

Please let me know what you think!

Obesity Risks

With obesity, comes the increased risk of diseases such as high blood pressure, Type II Diabetes, heart disease, and breast, colon, and prostate cancer. In addition, obesity has been linked to mental health conditions such as depression or feelings of shame and low self-esteem.

Health experts say that even losing 10 to 15 percent of your body weight can dramatically decrease the risk of developing these serious conditions. In addition, many obese people are discriminated against and targets of insults and other verbal abuse.

A number of factors, such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, genetics, and certain medical disorders, cause obesity, but it can be conquered. This information is not presented by a medical practitioner and is for educational and informational purposes only.

The Natural Medicine Of Humor Teaches You To "Smile When You Say That"

One of my favorite Gary Cooper movies is "The Virginian", because of one particular scene. A man makes an insulting remark. Cooper turns toward the perpetrator, gives him a withering stare, and calmly says, "If you want to call me that, smile."

Good advice for us all.

What a great habit to cultivate. By smiling when you speak, you encourage others to be more receptive to whatever you have to say.

Try it right now. Go to a mirror. Look deeply into your own eyes (aren't they lovely?). Say out loud, "I love you and I have voice immodulation disorder!"

Notice how the smile softens the impact of the words and adds a forgiving element? You may actually think negative things when you see yourself in the mirror sometimes. But I'll bet, delivered with a smile, those negatives are more difficult to take seriously!

So, the assignment is to practice saying everything with a smile, as though you were talking to Gary Cooper. Whenever you start to speak, remember to turn up the corners of your mouth before saying the first word.

CompTech - HKI dan Kesehatan

Dengan diberlakukannya Undang-Undang Hak Cipta atau Hak Kekayaan Intelektual (HKI), maka kita semua harus mencermati pemakaian suatu hasil karya, dalam hal ini akan kita fokuskan pada sistem operasi (OS / Operating System; misalnya Windows, Mac, GNU / Linux, FreeBSD, dll) dan software / perangkat lunak (misalnya Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, Corel, SPSS, Macromedia, Photoshop, TheGIMP, dll) untuk komputerisasi. Hal ini sejalan dengan upaya pemerintah untuk menggalakkan pemanfaatan teknologi informasi di semua bidang termasuk sektor kesehatan.

Tiap software memiliki lisensi / license agreement tentang pemakaian atau sering disebut juga End-User License Agreement (EULA). Sistem operasi Windows (kalau dibeli legal, saat ini Windows XP Home Edition seharga sekitar $78-$80; belum lagi Microsoft Office yang harganya jutaan) misalnya, hanya mengijinkan untuk digunakan / dikopi / disebarluaskan pada 1 atau sekian unit komputer saja (Campus Agreement, warnet memiliki ijin khusus dari Microsoft untuk menginstall Windows pada lebih dari 1 unit komputer di lingkungannya). EULA bisa dibaca pada saat awal instalasi atau biasanya terdapat pada menu 'help' tiap software.

Pada sistem operasi lainnya, misalnya GNU/ Linux distro Ubuntu, sistem operasi ini gratis..."Ubuntu will always be free of charge..." bahkan kita bisa minta dikirim gratis (ongkos kirim saja). Termasuk software sendiri ada yang harganya mahal dan ada yang gratis bahkan disertakan kode pemrogamannya.

Mengapa dokter juga harus tahu? Tidak cuma orang-orang teknik komputer atau orang-orang informatika yang harus paham hal ini. Terlebih lagi dokter katanya terpelajar, pekerjaannya tentu banyak terlibat dengan komputer dan program-programnya, minimal mengetik dan urusan kantor lainnya. Orang terpelajar katanya harus bisa jadi contoh..:D

Minimal sadar dulu bahwa lisensi ini ada.

Dan sepertinya kita tidak perlu harus mengajukan pertanyaan: "Skripsi anda dulu pake program statistik apa..? Dapet dimana programnya?" Atau: "S3 anda dulu ngetik ama presentasinya pake program/sistem operasi apa?"

Kalau kita ingin karya kita dihargai..maka hargailah hasil karya orang lain..

Gadget - PDA bagi Dokter

Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) merupakan perangkat genggam yang dirancang untuk memudahkan penggunanya dalam aktivitas sehari-hari. Bentuknya mungil , mudah digenggam (handheld device; gadget), seukuran kantong (pocket-sized), layar sentuh (touch screen) dengan alat tulis khusus berbentuk pena (stylus) dan memiliki sistem operasi tertentu (misalnya: Palm OS, Windows Mobile/Pocket PC, GNU/Linux, Symbian OS).

Belakangan muncul konvergensi PDA dan telepon genggam (handphone) yang disebut PDA-Phone maupun SmartPhone dengan kemampuan koneksi nirkabelnya (wireless) seperti infra red (IrDA), Bluetooth maupun wifi (wireless fidelity). Berhubungan dengan fungsi teleponnya, maka bisa juga digunakan GPRS (General Packed Radio Services), CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) dan yang sedang dikembangkan di Indonesia adalah EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution).

Banyak model yang sudah beredar dengan segala kelebihan dan kekurangannya.

Sebagai dokter, perlukah kita menggunakan PDA?

Fungsi PDA bagi Dokter:

PDA dapat membantu kita dalam hal:

• mempermudah akses informasi pribadi (PIM-Personal Information Manager), daftar kontak, memo dan jadwal kegiatan (Task, To-do List)
  
• membaca artikel elektronik (e-book yang di-download dari internet)
• membagi informasi antar pengguna PDA secara nirkabel
  
• pembuatan resep online (berlaku di beberapa negara)
  
• mempermudah penyimpanan data pasien secara mobile (mobile EMR)
  
• mempermudah pekerjaan bidang anda sesuai dengan perangkat lunak (software) yang ada (misalnya: software Journal Club untuk yang senang melakukan penelitian)
  
• mempermudah penyimpanan informasi/data yang disinkronisasi dengan komputer/notebook
  
• mempermudah akses informasi ke database pasien (misalnya: koneksi PDA dengan server masing-masing poliklinik/bagian)

Health Informatics - Privacy and Security

Health Informatics - Integration and Interoperability

The benefits of electronic health records, and the appropriate sharing of health information among patients, physicians, and other authorized participants in the healthcare delivery value chain, are nearly universally understood and desired. However, the level of adoption of electronic health record systems in primary care settings remains low...

HIMSS has convened the Integration and Interoperability Steering Committee to guide the industry on allocating resources to develop and implement standards and technology needed to achieve interoperability...

Indonesia nantinya juga memerlukan standar untuk masalah ini..

Health Informatics - Electronic Medical Record

The Electronic Medical/Health Record (EMR/EHR) is a longitudinal electronic record of patient health information generated by one or more encounters in any care delivery setting. Included in this information are patient demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data and radiology reports. The EHR automates and streamlines the clinician's workflow. The EHR has the ability to generate a complete record of a clinical patient encounter, as well as supporting other care-related activities directly or indirectly via interface - including evidence-based decision support, quality management, and outcomes reporting...

Health Informatics - Introduction

Setelah googling dg keywords masing2:

• health informatics
  
• medical informatics
  
• public health informatics

maka didpt pengertian..

Health informatics is an evolving scientific discipline that deals with the collection, storage, retrieval, communication and optimal use of health related data, information and knowledge. The discipline utilises the methods and technologies of the information sciences for the purposes of problem solving and decision-making thus assuring quality healthcare in all basic and applied areas of biomedical sciences...

Medical informatics has to do with all aspects of understanding and promoting the effective organization, analysis, management, and use of information in health care. While the field of medical informatics shares the general scope of these interests with some other health care specialties and disciplines, medical informatics has developed its own areas of emphasis and approaches that have set it apart from other disciplines and specialties. For one, a common thread through medical informatics has been the emphasis on technology as an integral tool to help organize, analyze, manage, and use information...

Public Health Informatics may be defined as the systematic application of information technologies and systems to public health practice.
Information technology is playing an increasingly important role in helping public health both manage client information for the delivery of services and assisting in the efficient evaluation of health outcomes and program effectiveness. Public Health Informatics is closely related to Medical Informatics,...

Percentage of Bodyfat?

It is difficult to determine the exact percentage of body fat a person has, but estimates can be made in a number of ways.

First, using a tweezer-like tool called a caliper, you can measure the thickness of skin folds on different points of your body and compare the results with standardized numbers. You can also use a small device that sends a harmless electrical current through your body and measures your body fat percentage.

The most commonly used method to determine if a person is obese is to look at his/her Body Mass Index (BMI). A person with a BMI over 30 is considered to be obese, and a BMI over 40 is considered to be severely obese. It’s important to remember though that BMI could be misleading in pregnant or lactating women and in muscular individuals.

Overview of Obesity

Obesity is a disease that affects approximately 60 million people in the United States, and women are especially affected. Over one-third of women between the ages of 20 and 74 are obese, the majority of them being African American or Mexican American. With more and more
pre-packaged food and less and less activity, the number of obese people in America has steadily increased since the 1960’s.

But what is obesity?

Many people think obesity means that a person is overweight, but that’s not exactly true. An overweight person has a surplus amount of weight that includes muscle, bone, fat, and water. An obese person has a surplus of body fat. Most health professionals concur that a man is obese if he has over 25 percent body fat, and a woman is obese if she has over 30 percent.

Women physiologically have more body fat than men, so that why there’s a difference in percentage.

More infos will follow!

To your best!

An obese person has a surplus of body fat. Most health professionals concur that a man is obese if he has over 25 percent body fat, and a woman is obese if she has over 30 percent.

Women physiologically have more body fat than men, so that why there’s a difference in percentage.

Overview of Obesity

Obesity is a disease that affects approximately 60 million people in the United States, and women are especially affected. Over one-third of women between the ages of 20 and 74 are obese, the majority of them being African American or Mexican American. With more and more
pre-packaged food and less and less activity, the number of obese people in America has steadily increased since the 1960’s.

5 Super Effective Tips To Kill Depression

Being lonely is a normal part of our everyday lives. We
get sad when we fail in our exams, when we're rejected by
the person we love, or when someone very close to us
passes away. Depression, however, could be more fatal
than just plain loneliness. It could render life-long
consequences that could ruin your health. Here are some superb tips to conquer the melancholy mood and get the most bliss out of your daily activities.

1) Get Enough Light and Sunshine.

Lack of exposure to sunlight is responsible for the
secretion of the hormone melatonin, which could trigger
a dispirited mood and a lethargic condition.

Melatonin is only produced in the dark. It lowers the
body temperature and makes you feel sluggish. If you
are always cooped up in your room (with the curtains
closed), it would be difficult to restrain yourself
from staying in bed.

This is the reason why many people are suffering from
depression much more often in winter than in the other
seasons. It's because the nights are longer.

If you can't afford to get some sunshine, you can
always lighten up your room with brighter lights.
Have lunch outside the office. Take frequent walks
instead of driving your car over short distances.

2) Get Busy. Get Inspired.

You'll be more likely to overcome any feeling of
depression if you are too busy to notice it. Live
a life full of inspired activities.

Do the things you love. If you're a little short
on cash, you could engage in simple stuffs like
taking a leisurely stroll in the park, playing
sports, reading books, or engaging in any activity
that you have passion for and would love to pursue.

Set a goal - a meaningful purpose in life. No
matter how difficult or discouraging life can be,
remain firm and have an unshakable belief that you
are capable of doing anything you desire. With
this kind of positive attitude, you will attain
a cheerful disposition to beat the blues.

3) Take a Break.

I mean it.

Listen to soothing music. Soak in a nice warm
bath. Ask one of your close friends to massage
you. Take a break from your stressful workload
and spend the day just goofing around. In other
words, have fun.

4) Eat Right and Stay Fit.

Avoid foods with lots of sugar, caffeine, or
alcohol. Sugar and caffeine may give you a
brief moment of energy; but they would later
bring about anxiety , tension, and internal
problems. Alcohol is a depressant. Many people
would drink alcohol to "forget their problems."
They're just aggravating their conditions in the
process.

Exercising regularly is a vital depression buster
because it allows your body to produce more
endorphins than usual. Endorphins are sometimes
called "the happy chemicals" because of their
stress-reducing and happiness-inducing properties.

5) Get a Social Life.

No man is an island. Your circle of friends are
there to give you moral support. Spending time
and engaging in worthwhile activities with them
could give you a very satisfying feeling. Nothing
feels better than having group support.

Never underestimate the power of touch. Doesn't
it feel so good when someone pats you on the back
and gives you words of encouragement during your
most challenging times? Hug or embrace someone
today. You'll never know when you have saved
another life.

Get intimate. Establish close ties with your
family and friends. The love and care expressed
by others could tremendously boost your immune
system and fend off illnesses. Best of all, you'lllive a more secured and happy life.

An Easy Way For You To Make Your Work Fun

You'll discover that the practicalities of making work fun are very similar to making anything else fun.

Chances are at least fifty percent, however, that you are working for someone who trivializes fun. You don't need to bash those bosses who find fun too risky to incorporate, but you do need to understand that you may be on your own regarding enjoying the benefits of humor in the workplace. Having fun is an "inside job," requiring the type of self-discipline we Humor Beings are famous for.

Here's a great "hands-on" strategy for making work fun: Smile more often. This is the most basic strategy for fun at work and it is foolproof. If you make it a priority to smile more often at work this week, you will be amazed at the results. Even if you are smiling often, you can always do it more. This week, commit to smiling every time you become aware that you are not.

Start smiling early in your day! You'll have more resilience and tolerance for the trip to work (those other drivers may still be idiots, but you won't take it so personally).

If you start smiling early enough, by the time you get to work, you will already be having a successful day. It is much easier to perpetuate success, than to "kick-start" it from a standstill when you get to your workstation.

I trust I don't have to recount how smiling benefits you by telling you that it boosts morale, peps up your immune system, releases endorphins, stimulates creativity, enhances communication, inspires hope, etc.? And, remember, even if you fake a smile you still get these benefits!

So don't forget that simple, yet powerful, smile during your work day. Keep your focus on smiling no matter what you're called to do.

One thing at work that drags us down is a feeling of insignificance. Consider this: Gene, from a recent cancer support group, theorized that if everybody on the planet smiled simultaneously, we could heal the world. What if, by some miracle, everybody on the planet was smiling at the same time -- except you? Wouldn't you feel terrible holding us all back like that? Take back control of your smile and you'll have more fun at work!

Why Are You Holding That Glass Of Water All Day?

At a talk I was giving recently, an audience member asked me to explain stress. Looking down, I noticed the glass of water the conference host had thoughtfully placed on the lecturn for me. I raised the glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Various answers rang out.

I acknowledged the responses and said, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it.”

"If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem... If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm…If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.

In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. "

I continued, "And that's the way it is with our worries and fears."

"If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we become affected by them. And that's called stress."

"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again."

"When we're refreshed, we can carry on. "

"And that is precisely why we were born with the amazing resource of humor. This natural medicine, which exists in abundance in your own personal chemisty, is capable of keeping your perspective off your fears and worries...regardless of your circumstances."

"Use humor to keep putting your glass down; there is no reason for your to hold it longer than a few seconds."

Things That Make Me Scratch My Head

Here are nine things that make me scratch my head and wonder:

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is, where is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?



2. People who are willing to get off their rear to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.



3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Darn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?



4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the heck would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?



5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the floor.



6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya?



7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.



8. When people say "life is short". What the...?? Life is the longest thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?



9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here?

How To Avoid Offending Blind People

According to BuyCostumes.com, the most popular Halloween costumes this year are fantasy figures, like mythical heroes and witches. And not the evil, green, wart-nosed witches of fairy tales either...fancy, nice, good witches.

It seems that, this Halloween, you are choosing to forget about the real-life horrors you're encountering like outrageous gas prices, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and Supreme Court nominations - and choosing to have fun. Good for you!

I also saw a list of politically incorrect costumes. You know how "far out" political correctness can get; along with the expected ethnic stereotypes, I noticed "pirate costumes with eye patches." Why? "They may offend blind people."

How would they know? I have a simple idea...let's just not tell them.

Happy Halloween!

And People Actually Wonder Why I Became The Laugh Doctor!

My Dad, Carol Kuhn, was living the last of his life in a nursing home in Pennsylvania. One day he appeared to be very sad and depressed. Dad's nurse, Kathy, asked if there was anything wrong.

"Yes," said my Dad, "My private part died today and I am very sad."

Knowing my Dad was forgetful and sometimes a little "off", she replied, "Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Kuhn, please accept my condolences."

The following day, Dad was walking down the hall with his "little guy" hanging out of his pajamas, when he met Nurse Kathy.

"Mr. Kuhn," she said, "You shouldn't be walking down the hall like that, please put your private part back in your pajamas."

"But, Nurse Kathy," replied Dad, "I told you yesterday that my private part died."

"Yes, you did tell me that, but why is it hanging out of your pajamas?" asked Nurse Kathy.

"Well," he replied, "today's the viewing."

The Grown-Up Version Of "The Dog Ate My Homework"

CareerBuilder.com recently asked managers to reveal the funniest and most unusual excuses given by employees for missing work.

Here are some of the best:

• "I'm too drunk to drive to work."


• "I accidentally flushed my keys down the toilet."


• "I had to help deliver a baby on my way to work."


• "I accidentally drove through the automatic garage door before it opened." (Okay...now that one I can believe)


• "My boyfriend's snake got loose and I am afraid to leave the bedroom until he gets home."


• "I'm too fat to get into my work pants."


• "God didn't wake me."


• "The ghosts in my house kept me up all night."


• "I forgot I was getting married today."


• "My cow bit me."


• "My house lock jammed and I'm locked in."

Those are funny, but don't make up excuses anymore. Tell your boss the truth - that you're going out to have some fun.

Stop by my website first!

A Thank You For All The Email Chain Letters

I want to thank you who have taken the time and trouble to send me your chain letters over the past 12 months. Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy. Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS. I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me. I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops or the Salvation Army. I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.

I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers. I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike. I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe. I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.

Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes. I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl who is about to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time).

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program. Yes, I want to thank you so much for looking out for me that I will now return the favor!

I must add my thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat crap in the glue on envelopes cause I now have to get a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing. Also, I scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

Have a wonderful day!

How To Have Fun In China

Here is a real-life list of travelers' tips issued by the Chinese government in 1994:

"Don't squat when waiting for a bus or a person. Don't spit in public. Don't point at people with your fingers. Don't make noise. Don't laugh loudly. Don't yell or call to people from a distance. Don't pick your teeth, pick your nose, blow your nose, pick at your ears, rub your eyes, or rub dirt off your skin. Don't scratch, take off your shoes, burp, stretch, or hum."

Wow, sign me up! I'm calling my travel agent today!
