Clear Button

PLEASE PASS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

Using credit/debit card to purchase gasoline? Read this note very
carefully. I did not know about the clear button, but I will be pushing
the clear button before I swipe my gas or debit card and after just to
be safe.


People are getting really desperate due to the constantly rising gas
prices. A friend just told me about something that happened to one of
his coworkers.

She used her credit/debit card to purchase gas at the pump (like most
of us do). She received her receipt like normal.

However, when she checked her statement, there were two $50 charges
added in addition to her purchase. Upon investigation, she found out
that because she did not press the 'clear' button on the pump, the
employee inside the store was able to use her card to purchase his/her
own gas!


To keep this from happening, after you get your receipt, you must press
the 'CLEAR' button or your information will be stored until the next
customer inserts their card.


I had never noticed the clear button but I got gas the other day and
sure enough it is there. I shall be using it from now on.

What if God is never going to intercede for anyone and as humans we are going to have to resolve our own differences?????

Think before you speak...

Think before you speak...

Here are six reasons why you should think before you speak the last one is great! Have you ever spoken and wished that you could immediately take the words back... or that you could crawl into a hole? Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did.....


FIRST TESTIMONY:
I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly,"How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?" I turned around and walked back out and never went back My husband didn't say a word... he knew better.


SECOND TESTIMONY:
I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, "I think I like playing with men's balls"

THIRD TESTIMONY:
My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help. I replied, "No, I'm just looking at your nuts.." My sister started to laugh hysterically. The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, my sister has never let me forget.


FOURTH TESTIMONY:
While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amok. I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons.
I told her that if she did not start behaving "right now" she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, "If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!" The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing. I mustered up the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow.The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams of laughter.


FIFTH TESTIMONY:
Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch, in between errands It was very busy, with a full dining room.. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny,
so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, she was clean. Then I realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while. I asked him if he needed to go,and he said "No". I kept thinking "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me.." Then I said, "Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident?" "No," he replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. Soooooo, I asked one more time, "Danny did you have an accident ? This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled "SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!"
While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down. An old couple made me feel better, thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!


LAST BUT NOT LEAST TESTIMONY:
This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think before she speaks. What happens when you predict snow but don't get any! We had a female news anchor that, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked: "So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?" Not only did he have to leave the set, but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard!



Depressed about the state of the USA

Depressed about the state of the USA

 

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel " pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land".

 

Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, " Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a camel, this is the promised land".

 

Now the Government has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels, and mortgaged the promised land.

 

I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, Savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc . . . I called Lifeline, the suicide help line. Got a freakin' call center in Pakistan.  I told them I was suicidal.

 

They all got excited and asked if I could drive a truck...

Onion update.....


Onion update.........

Onions Prevent Influenza Infection-Unproven! Summary of the eRumor:   This is a forwarded email about onions.   It says that during a 1919 influenza  scare farmers would cut onions and place them on plates to  ward off  infection.   It also warns about leftover onions and how they can be  poisonous to dogs.  The Truth:   There is no medical evidence that onions attracts viruses.  Onions have been  mythically thought to ward off diseases since the days of the bubonic plague  in the middle ages.   The Vetinfo.com web site does warn that onions are  unsafe for dogs and included the tasty vegetable on their list of toxins for  dogs.  Left over onions, alone, may not be toxic but can easily pick up contamination  from preparation utensils.   FoodHygieneTraining.com, a website in the United  Kingdom offering expert food safety tips, suggests using different cutting  boards when preparing meals and vegetables, to prevent cross-contamination.     The web site also warns that bacteria, viruses and parasites can grow in a  matter of 20 minutes on a cutting board that was used for uncooked meat if  not cleaned properly. It is not difficult for onions and other vegetables to  pick up  such microorganism that are invisible to the naked eye.  Natural  enzymes in vegetables may even inhibit growth.  If stored improperly, onions can eventually go bad.  The National Onion  Association posted suggestions on their web site regarding the storage of  unprepared onions recommending that be stored in a cool dry place where air  can be allowed to circulate.  Depending on the type, onions can be last in  storage between 30 to 180 days.  They also said that "Chopped or sliced  onions can be stored in a sealed container in your refrigerator for up to 7  days."
