font-size: 13px; "><br />Shell Oil Comments - A MUST READ!<br /><br />Safety Alert!<br />Here are some reasons why we don't allow cell phones in operating areas,<br />propylene oxide handling and storage area, propane, gas and diesel<br />refuelling areas.<br /><br />The Shell Oil Company recently issued a warning after three incidents in<br />which mobile phones (cell phones) ignited fumes during fuelling operations<br /><br />In the first case, the phone was placed on the car's trunk lid during<br />fuelling; it rang and the ensuing fire destroyed the car and the gasoline<br />pump.<br /><br />In the second, an individual suffered severe burns to their face when fumes<br />ignited as they answered a call while refuelling their car!<br /><br />And in the third, an individual suffered burns to the thigh and groin as<br />fumes ignited when the phone, which was in their pocket, rang while they<br />were fuelling their car.<br /><br />You should know that: Mobile Phones can ignite fuel or fumes<br /><br />Mobile phones that light up when switched on or when they ring release<br />enough energy to provide a spark for ignition<br /><br />Mobile phones should not be used in filling stations, or when fuelling lawn<br />mowers, boat, etc.<br /><br />Mobile phones should not be used, or should be turned off, around other<br />materials that generate flammable or explosive fumes or dust, (I.e.,<br />solvents, chemicals, gases, grain dust, etc...)<br /><br />TO sum it up, here are the Four Rules for Safe Refuelling:<br />1) Turn off engine<br />2) Don't smoke<br />3) Don't use your cell phone - leave it inside the vehicle or turn it 0ff<br />4) Don't re-enter your vehicle during fuelling.<br /><br />Bob Renkes of Petroleum Equipment Institute is working on a campaign to try<br />and make people aware of fires as a result of 'static electricity' at gas<br />pumps. His company has researched 150 cases of these fires.<br /><br />His results were very surprising:<br />1) Out of 150 cases, almost all of them were women.<br />2) Almost all cases involved the person getting back in their vehicle while<br />the nozzle was still pumping gas. When finished, they went back to pull the<br />nozzle out and the fire started, as a result of static.<br />3) Most had on rubber-soled shoes.<br />4) Most men never get back in their vehicle until completely finished. This<br />is why they are seldom involved in these types of fires.<br />5) Don't ever use cell phones when pumping gas<br />6) It is the vapours that come out of the gas that cause the fire, when<br />connected with static charges.<br />7) There were 29 fires where the vehicle was re-entered and the nozzle was<br />touched during refuelling from a variety of makes and models. Some resulted<br />in extensive damage to the vehicle, to the station, and to the customer.<br />8) Seventeen fires occurred before, during or immediately after the gas cap<br />was removed and before fuelling began.<br /><br />Mr. Renkes stresses to NEVER get back into your vehicle while filling it<br />with gas.<br />If you absolutely HAVE to get in your vehicle while the gas is pumping, make<br />sure you get out, close the door TOUCHING THE METAL, before you ever pull<br />the nozzle out. This way the static from your body will be discharged before<br />you ever remove the nozzle.<br /><br />As I mentioned earlier, The Petroleum Equipment Institute, along with<br />several other companies now, are really trying to make the public aware of<br />this danger.<br /><br />I ask you to please send this information to ALL your family and friends,<br />especially those who have kids in the car with them while pumping gas. If<br />this were to happen to them, they may not be able to get the children out in<br />time. Thanks for passing this along.<br /><br /><br /></span>Pesky Email Forwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15236006690063393511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4612007337495443487.post-518954963040888852010-10-19T21:41:00.000-07:002010-10-19T21:41:00.307-07:00Osama Silences U.S. Servicemen<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">I looked on Snopes, but could not find anything to refute this:<br /><div><br /><blockquote type="cite"><span style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; "><br /><hr /><div>--- </div><div><blockquote><div><div><div><div><div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; "><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; "><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; "><div><div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; "></span></span><br /> </div><div><span style="font-family:Arial Baltic;font-size:100%;color:black;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial Baltic'; "></span></span><br /> </div><b><u><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6;color:black;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; ">From Retired<span> </span></span></span></u></b><span><b><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6;color:black;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; ">Vice Admiral</span></span></b></span><b><u><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6;color:black;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; "><span> </span>Bob Scarborough, of<span> </span></span></span></u></b><span><b><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6;color:black;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; ">Arlington</span></span></b></span><span><b><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6;color:black;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; ">,</span></span></b></span><span><b><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6;color:black;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; ">VA</span></span></b></span><b><u><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6;color:black;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; ">.</span></span></u></b><b><u><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6;color:black;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; "><br /></span></span></u></b><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6;color:black;"><span style="font-size: 24pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; "><br />"I wanted to give you all some disturbing information on our wonderful president.

<br />
<br /></span><b><span style="color: rgb(32, 32, 160); font-size:18pt;">I'm sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at only ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... And those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000).... And so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers!!!!!!!
<br /></span></b><b><span style=" ;font-size:18pt;color:green;">
<br />If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it...THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE-the entire population of the United States of America !!!!
<br /></span></b><b><span style="color: rgb(161, 63, 0); font-size:18pt;">
<br />Again, all you have to do is forward this message to 10 people. How long would that really take you?

Michelle Obama is a lawyer.<span> </span><br /> Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. Bill Clinton is a lawyer.<span> </span><br />John Edwards is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards is a lawyer.<span> </span><br /> Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate).<span> </span><br /> Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.<span> </span><br /> Look at leaders of the Democrat Party in Congress:<span> </span><br /> Harry Reid is a lawyer. Nancy Pelosi is a lawyer.<span> </span><br /><br /><br /> <br /> The Republican Party is different.<span> </span><br /> President Bush is a businessman.<span> </span><br /> Vice President Cheney is a businessman.<span> </span><br /> The leaders of the Republican Revolution:<span> </span><br /> Newt Gingrich was a history professor.<span> </span><br /> Tom Delay was an exterminator. Dick Armey was an economist.<span> </span><br /> House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer.<span> </span><br /> The former Senate Majority Leader Bill First is a heart surgeon.<span> </span><br /> Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan in 1976.<span> </span><br /> <br />The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work, who are often the targets of lawyers.<span> </span><br />The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick, like First, or who immerse themselves in history, like Gingrich.<span> </span><br /> <br />The Lawyers Party sees these sorts of people, who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of America . And, so we have seen the procession of official enemies, in the eyes of the Lawyers Party, grow.<span> </span><br /> <br />Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail? Pharmaceutical companies, oil companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value in our nation.<span> </span><br /> <br />This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of lawyers. Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their clients, in this case the American people.<span> </span><br /> Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and lawyers always parse language to favor their side.<span> </span><br /> <br />Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine. But it is an awful<span> </span><br /> way to govern a great nation. When politicians as lawyers begin to view some Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the role of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming. Some Americans become adverse parties of<span> </span><br /> our very government. We are not all litigants in some vast social<span> </span><br />class-action suit. We are citizens of a republic that promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from lawyers.<span> </span><br /><br /> Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by judicial decisions; we are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked. When the most important decision for our next president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme Court, the role of lawyers and the law in America is too big.<span> </span><br /> **<span> </span><br /> ** When House Democrats sue America in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing.<span> </span><br /> <br />We cannot expect the Lawyers Party to provide real change, real reform or real hope in America Most Americans know that a republic in which every major government action must be blessed by nine unelected judges is not what Washington intended in 1789. Most Americans grasp that we cannot fight a war when ACLU lawsuits snap at the heels of our defenders. Most Americans intuit that more lawyers and judges will not restore declining moral values or spark the spirit of enterprise in our economy.<span> </span><br /><br /> Perhaps Americans will understand that change cannot be brought to our nation by those lawyers who already largely dictate American society and business. Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work. Perhaps Americans will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our problems worse.<br /> <br />The United States has 5% of the world’s population and 66% of the world’s lawyers! Tort (Legal) reform legislation has been introduced in congress several times in the last several years to limit punitive damages in ridiculous lawsuits such as spilling hot coffee on yourself and suing the establishment that sold it to you and also to limit punitive damages in huge medical malpractice lawsuits. This legislation has continually been blocked from even being voted on by the Democrat Party. When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association goes to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high!<br /> <br /></span></div></div></span></span></blockquote></span></div>Pesky Email Forwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15236006690063393511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4612007337495443487.post-81490321684876895932010-10-05T21:21:00.000-07:002010-10-05T21:21:00.372-07:00Well Said<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0FTwOx32ZbAqqz1mEjROJ-UvNedmKnKBtuYxKidmyxdNoUBOgUDUnihra227GsXtuWaq7UxhjZ5QyrFOR2FgmlPeCeMAN15GpWCsFNRAI9v014l1GTwJ8YgGPzBHeOv-_iW-yMG9G8mE/s1600/Screen+shot+2010-10-01+at+5.55.17+AM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0FTwOx32ZbAqqz1mEjROJ-UvNedmKnKBtuYxKidmyxdNoUBOgUDUnihra227GsXtuWaq7UxhjZ5QyrFOR2FgmlPeCeMAN15GpWCsFNRAI9v014l1GTwJ8YgGPzBHeOv-_iW-yMG9G8mE/s400/Screen+shot+2010-10-01+at+5.55.17+AM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523670211547610210" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Click to Enlarge</div>Pesky Email Forwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15236006690063393511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4612007337495443487.post-81618784385330940382010-10-04T21:23:00.000-07:002010-10-04T21:23:00.447-07:00American Flag in Phoenix<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZqI4buFt8Sb4aZpEKqr_RL0G-KdV5pKgPwDCt0O3vN-qdP2ZHsJsczkHFX_k3Y2h8ZCtRNhSE2Ect2aGLYylha3pvmtPnbU7oy_yF-PjPy5BJyw08Wi0R8Ctwa-feh2HWjNCn0J-iMkY/s1600/ATT00001.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZqI4buFt8Sb4aZpEKqr_RL0G-KdV5pKgPwDCt0O3vN-qdP2ZHsJsczkHFX_k3Y2h8ZCtRNhSE2Ect2aGLYylha3pvmtPnbU7oy_yF-PjPy5BJyw08Wi0R8Ctwa-feh2HWjNCn0J-iMkY/s400/ATT00001.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523670762980673794" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" border-collapse: collapse; font-family:'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;"><div><span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"><span style="background- ;font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;">WE ARE PRISONERS IN OUR OWN LAND AND OUR GOVERNMENT IS HELPING DESTROY US.

So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving, which is unlikely.. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. </span></span></b> </div> <div style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> <span> </span></span></span><b><span style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;font-size:6;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; font-family: 'Bradley Hand ITC';">Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.</span></span></b> </div> <div style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></span> </div> <div style="text-align: center;" align="center"><b><span style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;font-size:6;color:black;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; font-family: 'Bradley Hand ITC';">This gives two possibilities: <span> </span></span></span></b><b><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:130%;color:#000040;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 13.5pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 64); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"> </span></span></b> </div> <div style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;color:black;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> <span> </span></span></span><b><span style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;font-size:6;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; font-family: 'Bradley Hand ITC';">1.

My question is: Would you have made the same choice?</span></span></b><b><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:7;color:#c20000;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; color: rgb(194, 0, 0); font-size: 36pt; font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /><br /><br />At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its<br /><br />dedicated staff, he offered a question:<br /><br />'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection.<br /><br />Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do.</span></span></b><b><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:6;color:#c20000;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; color: rgb(194, 0, 0); font-size: 24pt; font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />Where is the natural order of things in my son?'</span></span></b><b><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:7;color:#c20000;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; color: rgb(194, 0, 0); font-size: 36pt; font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /><br /><br />The audience was stilled by the query.<br /><br /><br /><br />The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.'<br /><br />Then he told the following story:<br /><br /><br /><br />Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' I knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a father<i><span style="font-style: italic;"> I</span></i> also understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.<br /><br /><br /><br />I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'<br /><br /><br /><br />Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart. The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted.<br /><br />In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.<br /><br />In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands.<br /><br />In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again.<br /><br />Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.<br /><br /><br /><br />At this juncture, do the others let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?<br /><br />Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.<br /><br /><br /><br />However, as Shay stepped up to the<br /><br />plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact.<br /><br />The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed.<br /><br />The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay.<br /><br />As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.<br /><br /><br /><br />The game would now be over.<br /><br />The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman.<br /><br />Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.<br /><br /><br /><br />Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates.<br /><br />Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first!<br /><br />Run to first!'<br /><br />Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base.<br /><br />He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.<br /><br /><br /><br />Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!'<br /><br />Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base.<br /><br />By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball. The smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team.<br /><br />He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head.<br /><br />Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.<br /><br /><br /><br />All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'<br /><br /><br /><br />Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third!<br /><br />Shay, run to third!'<br /><br /><br /><br />As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!'<br /><br />Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team<br /><br /><br /><br />'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.<br /><br /><br /><br />Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day !<br /><br /><br /><br />AND NOW A LITTLE FOOT NOTE TO THIS STORY:<br /><br />We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people hesitate.<br /><br />The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.</span></span></b><b><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:6;color:#c20000;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; color: rgb(194, 0, 0); font-size: 24pt; font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /><br /><br />If you're thinking about forwarding this message, chances are that you're probably sorting out the people in your address book who aren't the 'appropriate' ones to receive this type of message Well, the person who sent you this believes that we all can make a difference.</span></span></b><b><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:7;color:#c20000;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(194, 0, 0); font-size: 36pt; font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the 'natural order of things.'<br /><br />So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice:<br /><br />Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up those opportunities and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?<br /><br /><br /><br />A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them.<br /><br /><br /><br />You now have two choices:<br /><br />1.
