Dear neighbors,
I wanted to share a quick tip I have received and a video clip (30-second, very short, dramatic) about how to deal with a common kitchen fire...oil in a frying pan. Hopefully, none of us has to deal with such situation, but this video clip is an eye-opener. You may share it with your families.
"At the Fire Fighting Training school they would demonstrate this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would don a fire suit and using an 8-oz. cup at the end of a 10-foot pole to toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the attention of the students. The water, being heavier than oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated. The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, it became a thirty-foot high fireball that resembled a nuclear blast. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room. Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One-cup of either creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite."
Here's a link to the video on Youtube to help keep our families safe:
Please forward this on to friends and family. Well worth knowing.

The HMS Ocean deployed for a 7-week deployment exercise that ended up being 214 days. When they heard they were going to make it home for Christmas, they made this video. MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at 1:30PM Never Ever wander into the cosmetic section of any department store again without bag over head.
"Here's something for That Puffiness Under Your Eyes." Huh?
"And your neck!!! This will fix that." Where are those summer turtlenecks when I need them?
"Those wrinkles around your mouth!" Those are laugh lines/I've earned them.
Hey cut me some slack ladies, I was around waaaaaaaaaaaay before you arrived on Earth.
My "new best friends" gathered around with helpful hints and massive amounts of product. I purchased the one for Puffiness. Jury's still out.
No one mentioned my goatee or mustache but they were pretty clear about my need for a facial. Run/don't walk to the nearest salon.
Since they don't do department store face lifts yet, I was home free on that front.
So when exactly does it all head downhill? And what can one do to persuade Mother Nature to Hold That Line?
I'm a big fan of natural products vs. chemical concoctions. A friend credits her wrinkle-free skin to daily egg white applications. I'm game. I tried coffee grounds a while back/I'm not sure exactly why/but it seemed like a good idea at the time. This produced gales of laughter from those in my house. But no wrinkle reduction that I could detect.
So other than paralyzing products and/or procedures, who has something to offer those of us who plan to laugh a lot? And age gracefully. And gratefully.
OK, after several hours of searching for something that would make us all smile or laugh, Joan's email arrived. There are no coincidences. OMGosh/this woman is my idol! Let's dance and laugh to the end!!! Do you think "old and wrinkled" or "AMAZINGLY VIBRANT" when you watch this? Right. I'm following her lead!
"Shake What Your Mama Gave You." Quite an evolution of a blog. Whoa.
Laugh and dance, friends. It doesn't get much better than this.
Friends, laughter, youtube video Saturday, July 10, 2010 at 2:31PM "This is actually a pretty amazing story about a baby hummingbird found on a sidewalk. He couldn't fly, so I took him under my wing. At night, he would come home to our house for safety. During the day, he was in the backyard of the house near where I found him. About 4 days after I found him, I was holding him in my cupped hands when his mama came by to feed him. She had seen me around, I guess, because she just flew over, perched on my hand and then fed him. This happened a number of times, so I called a friend who is good with a video camera, and he came over to film some of the amazing goings on that I told him about."

It's a deceptively simple yet incredibly powerful and potentially life-changing form of exercise that anybody can do, anytime, anywhere.
When do we start?
