Smiling is infectious;you catch it like the flu,
When some one smiled at me today,I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner and some one saw my grin
When he smiled I relized I'd passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile then I realized its worth,
A single smile,just like mine could travel round the earth.
So, if you feel a smile begin, dont leave it undetected
Let's start an apidemic quick ,and get the world infected!
keep the smile going by sending this on to a friend.
every one needs a smile

The Food and Drug Administration FDA approved the use of Relenza (zanamivir for inhalation) for prevention (prophylaxis) of influenza (flu) in adults and children 5 years of age and older. Tamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate) previously was approved for both prevention and treatment of flu; today's approval of Relenza for prevention provides Americans with another option for the prevention of influenza A and B infections.

Breathing problems (bronchospasm), including deaths, were reported in some patients after the initial approval of Relenza. Most of these patients had asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Relenza therefore is not recommended for treatment or prophylaxis of seasonal influenza in individuals with underlying airways disease such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Relenza has not been proven effective for treatment of influenza in people with underlying airways disease, or for prevention of influenza in nursing homes. The drug is also not a substitute for the flu vaccine, which is the primary means for preventing influenza. Consumers should continue receiving an annual flu vaccination according to guidelines on immunization practices. In preparation for a potential pandemic, FDA has assembled an agency-wide Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Task Force to provide policy leadership and strategic planning on pandemic influenza.

FDA also is working with the pharmaceutical industry to make available appropriate products and ensure that mechanisms are in place to collect the necessary efficacy and safety information. Both Relenza and Tamiflu have been identified for stockpiling.

Depression is one of the most common psychological problems, affecting nearly everyone through either personal experience or through depression in a family member. Each year over 17 million American adults experience a period of clinical depression. The cost in human suffering cannot be estimated. Depression can interfere with normal functioning, and frequently causes problems with work, social and family adjustment. It causes pain and suffering not only to those who have a disorder, but also to those who care about them. Serious depression can destroy family life as well as the life of the depressed person.
Depression can affect anyone. Once identified, most people diagnosed with depression are successfully treated. Unfortunately, depression is not always diagnosed, because many of the symptoms mimic physical illness, such as sleep and appetite disturbances. Recognizing depression is the first step in treating it.
There are a number of symptoms of depression and it's very rare for all of them to occur in one person. They include feeling generally miserable, as well as:
Feelings of anxiety.
Short temper.
Blaming self and low self-esteem.
Variation of mood during the day. It's often worse in the morning, improving as the day goes on - but the pattern can be the other way around.
Disturbed sleep, usually waking early and being unable to get back to sleep. This is often because of the negative thoughts racing through their heads.etc

Cherrie is now using Debbie's kidney,*
Having lost the service of her own.
Each moment of existence is a gift
Replacing just the one one just has left,
Renewing momently the moment gone.
In such a melody each note exactly
Embodies the full grace of what was done.

made a wish for you today,
A wish stright from my heart.
I didn't wish you riches, fame,
or fortune to impart,
But I did wish you the finer things
whose worth has no mesure,
the type of things you'll value
more than wealth or treasure,
I wish you much hope,
good health, and love,
and all the wonderful things in life
your heart is dreaming of.
I wish you endless stringth,
durning times of trial and stress,
and insperation to spark your soul
and bring you happiness.

Who would you want to be stuck there with you?

Whats the strangest thing that has happened to you?

It can be anythhing from embarassment or just something that just shouldn't be there but it was. (extreame example UFO's)
Me. It was the classic. Walked through a closed screen thinking it was open. I SWEAR it was open but reality showed me it wasn't.

Smoke the fag he lit up

what right has a stranger got
to do this
and whats more.
the stranger in the restaurant
who ignorantly lights up
when he's finished eating
and on his second cup
of coffee,high on caffeine
nicotine amd tar
Smoke
the fag he's just lit up
He's polluting where you are

Sitting with your family

Passive smoking
Why is it called Passive?
Massive, thats the true
risk now to those
who do not light a cigarette
and blow it
Around about and under people's nose!

Passsive Smoking
Are you joking?
someone else's treasure
Smoking on that cigarette
Never was my pleasure
500 or so chemicals
wafting down my throat
A mucus making
undertaking
now worthy of note

Passive Smoking
I am soaking
Wet
with sweat
My Sweat
Everytime a cloud of that shit

I have every sympathy with the American who was so
horrified by what he has read of the effects of
smoking that he gave up reading.
