On Ignorant Cell Phone Users- Should I Use Pepper Spray or Stun Gun ?- by James Raymond

Is there such a thing as cell phone etiquette? Here are my thoughts :

1,When you are in public, find a place where you won't bother people. We do not want to know what you did last night or your future plans.

2,Have you ever heard of vibrate mode? Use it when you are in church, library, restaurant, movies or other such places. I thought this was common sense but ....

3,When you receive a call and you're with someone make it very short or offer to call them back. Otherwise, it is very rude to the other person or persons.

4.Don't use the cell phone when you are driving a car, You will inadvertently hit someone when you are maneuvering a curve or at the very least inconvenience other drivers with your delays. Some communities have a law against using a cell phone while driving. I hope all communities and cities pass such ordinance.

5.If you are working servicing people ( cashier etc), set your phone down until you finish your task, You shouldn't be talking long on the phone anyway when you are working. Who gets paid from talking to their friend anyway?

6,Don't use you cell phone when you are exercising in a health club. It is very annoying to people around you. Besides, what can't wait until after you exercise.? I thought you exercise to reduce stress.

7.Don't use your cell phone when you're with your child bicycling on the sidewalk. The reason should be obvious or you shouldn't be a parent. Why do they have a test for driving but not for being a parent?

8.When you are waiting in line, do not use your cell phone. All the people around you are prisoners to your conversation. Remember what Woody Allen said about being locked up in a cell with an insurance agent. ( No disrespect meant for insurance agent. I once was one myself.)

9. Don't use your cell phone when someone is doing your tax return. It is no only rude and annoying but it could cost you money.

10. Don't use your cell phone when you are walking your dog. Your dog needs quality time with you.

11. Using a cell phone while cooking is a no no. It is not fair to your family. Call the people back. If you are single, what the ?

12. Don't use your cell phone while a policeman is writing you a ticket.

Using a cell phone while jogging is not a good idea . (ergonomically)

If you refuse to change your telephone etiquette, take a wired phone and go into the bathroom and … No that’s too cruel।

Epsom Salt - Beauty & Healthy

A Beauty Enhancing Element – Epsom Salt
By Kathryn M. D’Imperio

Affordable, available and easy to use, Epsom Salt provides the beauty-conscious with a wealth of fun and healthy home remedies and beauty treatments.

“In Grandma’s day, Epsom Salt was largely used as a laxative. That’s no longer the case,” says Jim Hill, a member of the Epsom Salt Council. “Epsom Salt, a pure, time-tested mineral compound, is actually Magnesium Sulfate, which absorbs easily through the skin and boasts a whole host of modern-day uses, from beauty to health.”

Epsom Salt occurs naturally, although most of what we buy in the stores has been manufactured. Even still, the Epsom Salt retains its pure, natural and healing characteristics.

To take advantage of the health and beauty related functions of Epsom Salt, the Epsom Salt Council suggests the following tips:

To exfoliate:
Mix together two cups of Epsom Salt and ¼ cup of petroleum jelly. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil for a pleasant fragrance. Apply the mixture to gently scrub away old cells and encourage a healthier-looking complexion.

For a facial:
Mix ½ teaspoon of Epsom Salt into a deep cleansing cream so you can reap the benefits of this mineral deep inside your skin. Massage the mixture onto your skin and then rinse with cool water. Pat dry.

To accompany a pedicure:
Before you go to the trouble of painting your nails, soften your feet by soaking them in a bathtub or plastic basin with warm water and Epsom Salt for at least 10 to 15 minutes. The salt will help to smoothen your feet, giving them a relaxed and refreshed feel.

Relaxing bath crystals:
Mix two cups of Epsom Salt with a few drops of a delightful fragrance to create a custom bath crystal. To dress up your bath crystals, add a few drops of food coloring or ½ teaspoon of glycerin. Store the crystals in an airtight container.

Soothing spa treatment:
After showering, the Epsom Salt Council recommends massaging handfuls of Epsom Salt over wet skin to exfoliate the body. “It's the same treatment many upscale spas use, without the upscale price!”

For a tranquil soak:
Fill your bathtub with water at a comfortable temperature that you enjoy. As you’re filling the tub, add two cups of Epsom Salt to the water (if it is a standard-sized bathtub – make adjustments for larger tubs). Soak for at least 12 minutes, three times a week for best results. As an extra treat, the Epsom Salt Council recommends adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil for an invigorating aroma.

Available at pharmacies in Malaysia,the price is about RM9++ per box.
