HOAX - the gasout is a hoax...sm
http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/nogas.asp
NBC or no NBC, it's' still a hoax....
This is a hoax
You can check it out on Snopes.com by searching with the words popcorn and cellphone.
Or, you can check it out for yourself by watching the popcorn carefully. It is being tossed onto the table from outside the frame, and the film has been edited to make it look like the kernels actually popped when they were simply removed.
Snopes.com is a great place to check out pretty much anything you find on the Internet.
Well, perhaps it is hoax but gosh just wonder
what would happen if everyone that could be reached decided not to buy gas. Would it not take some money out of the pockets of the gougers? Sounds feasible to me. I called my daughter and she had already heard aobut it. I think I might try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained so I hear.
Well if everyone did it, then it wouldn't be a hoax, right?
Can't blame someone for trying :)
That's a hoax! ha No, honestly, they get along with a few
wrestling matches thrown in!
These photo's are a hoax
These photos are from a scene in the show "Lost". See link below.
What is sad is that some sicko would do something like this and post it on the internet.
Anyway...here is a link I found that it's a hoax...

National Malaria Day
I know that mosquito nets on beds could save so many lives in Africa. At the risk of sounding totally ignorant, what about during the day when they are not sleeping? I am going to discuss with my youth group tonight raising money to help buy nets, (we take on a different project every 6 months), and I would like to have as mush info as possible. I went to NothingButNets.net and it really didn't give a lot of info except the benefits of bed netting.
this is a hoax - discovered after I forwarded...LOL

Send a Letter to "A Recovering American Soldier" at Walter Reed Army Medical Center-Fiction! |
|
Summary of the eRumor:
The brief email gives the address for the famous Walter Reed Army Medical Center and suggests that you include "A Recovering American Soldier" on your Christmas card list. |
|
The Truth:
The Walter Reed Army Medical Center will not receive letters that are not addressed to a particular soldier by name.
In a statement, the facility said "Walter Reed cannot accept these packages in support of the decision by then Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Transportation Policy in 2001. This decision was made to ensure the safety and well being of patients and staff at medical centers throughout the Department of Defense."
The decision applies to packages, letters, Christmas cards, or any other mail not addressed to a soldier by name.
Additionally the U.S. Postal Service has stopped delivering any mail that is addressed to "A Recovering American Soldier" or "Any Wounded Soldier," which are the most common recommendations in the eRumors that circulate about sending messages to soldiers at Walter Reed.
Instead, Water Reed suggests making a donation to www.americasupportsyou.mil which is a site representing more than 300 organizations helping the troops in various ways.

A Recovering American soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue NW
Washington D.C. 20307-5001

National Honor Society
Have been asked by a friend to write a letter of recommendation for her daughter for National Honor Society, unfortunately I stink at letter writing, any suggestions?
Not OP but one thing may be don't work for a national.........LOL

Yes, but their source is the National Enquirer
I will believe it when there's a credible source and in the meantime, hope it isn't true.
Interesting about the national spelling bee...
7 of the 10 finalists are Indian.. probably American raised, but there were a few parents in the audience in Indian garb. The winner's last name is Shivashankar (sp!). Man, though, all these kids are really sharp! They were allowed to ask questions about the origin of the words, etc.
How many of us MT's are former spelling bee winners? I bet lots. 8th grade county champ here. My final word was ptomaine.
Gasout is a hoax....see inside for link
http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/nogas.asp
Did anyone watch the national spelling bee last night...sm
and feel like a dunce like I did? My husband & I felt brilliant when we were able to spell the words they used.... but missed most.
It was national news about Indiana's tax increase!
I read that they were increased between 30-60%! And the state's spending increased by about 30%. So, they spend more, and the average Joe gets screwed.
I'm not saying it won't happen here, but we're on 3/4 acre, and our taxes (property and house) was about $280. for the year. I thank God for that!
Apparently it's national cheeseburger day today..sm
or that's what I'm being told by the kids.
I did see a sign in Kwik Trip saying it was, so I guess I have to believe them:-)
Of course, they also told me it would be against the law if we didn't have cheeseburgers, and I certainly can't set a good example for them if I break the law. Yeah...not buying that one, but I'll make cheeseburgers anyway:-)
Yesterday was National Men Make Dinner Day
Too bad I just found about it. Did any of you know about this?
National Geographic animal stories
Especially the one about the bush dogs, or the Japanese snow monkeys. My sister says there's a sad one about a fox, too. Don't ever watch these right before you're expecting company, or going out! :(
National Domestic Violence Website and phone #...
If you haven't already visited this website, it's very useful: www.ndvh.org, National Domestic Violence website. The hotline # is 1-800-799-7233, available to all 50 states. You can call them just to talk and, if wanted, they can help you formulate a plan to get yourself and your children out of this situation. Ask yourself this question: Do you want to live like this, in fear, walking on egg shells, for the rest of your life? I feel for you and I'll keep you in my prayers. One other thing, I don't want to be alarmist, but when you visit any websites, like the above, you might want to make sure you erase the history on your computer each time so no one else can see where you've been.
Yes - does not work! Hoax if you ask me. MetaboLife doesn't work either.
The only thing that works for me is exercise and eating correctly! No quick fix, unfortunately.
