HOT FLASHES 

To all those who are suffering (or soon will be) from hot flashes and night sweats: 
I have been using this for 1 week and it has worked every time. 
Put a small "dab" of peppermint oil right in the middle of your forehead as soon as you start heating up. 

I have no idea how or why it works, but it does.

FALSE ALARMS 
We recently received several warnings that have since been called “urban legends” by some of our readers. This means that if you check them out at <snopes.com> you may find that they have been circulated for several years, or that they are only partially true. 
1. You DO NOT have to claim your guns on your 1040 tax return this year. It is true that such legislation has been introduced in the past. However, it was not passed, and it died in committee as many bills do each year. And it is true that they may keep trying to pass such legislation. 
2. The Flapjack Farce. That cake or pancake mix that has been in the cupboard for a long time can cause death. That the yeast encourages mold that can be fatal. 
This is only true if the subject has a severe allergy to certain types of mold. Others can eat it and not be affected. 
3. The benzene danger in car air-conditioners. It is true that benzene is harmful to the body. And it may be beneficial to open your windows or doors for a short time to allow fresh air into your car. 
However, almost all of these claims are disputed at the end of the article.
So, if you get some warning, 1check it out. Get the rest of the story at: <snopes.com/> BF

AN ACTUAL PASSPORT LETTER 
                An email from Myron Smitley
--------------------------------------------
Dear Sirs, I'm in the process of renewing my passport, and still cannot believe this. How is it that Radio Shack has my address and telephone number and knows that I bought a cable T.V. from them back in 1987, and yet, the Federal Government is still asking me where I was born and on what date. 
For Christ sakes, do you guys do this by hand? My birth date you have on my social security card, and it is on all the income tax forms I've filed for the past 30 years. It is on my health insurance card, my driver's license, on the last eight damn passports I've had, on all those stupid customs declaration forms I've had to fill out before being allowed off the plane over the last 30 years, and all those insufferable census forms that are done at election times. 
Would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother's name is Maryanne, my father's name is Robert and I'd be absolutely astounded if that ever changed between now and when I die!!!!!! 
I apologize, I'm really pissed off this morning. 
Between you and me, I've had enough of this bullshit! You send the application to my house, then you ask me for my address. 
What is going on? Do you have a gang of Neanderthal asses working there! 
Look at my damn picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? I don't want to dig up Yasser Arafat, I just want to go and park my ass on a sandy beach. 
And would someone please tell me, why would you care whether I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days? If I ever got the urge to do something weird to a chicken or a goat, believe you me, I'd sure as hell not want to tell anyone! 
Well, I have to go now, 'cause I have to go to the other end of the city and get another copy of my birth certificate, to the tune of $60. Would it be so complicated to have all the services in the same spot to assist in the issuance of a new passport the same day?? 
Nooooo, that'd be too damn easy and maybe make sense. You'd rather have us running all over the place like chickens with our heads cut off, then find some idiot to confirm that it's really me on the damn picture - you know,the one where we're not allowed to smile?! (bureaucratic morons) Hey, you know why we can't smile? We're totally pissed off! 
Signed - An Irate Citizen. 
P.S.. Remember what I said above about the picture and getting someone to confirm that it's me? 
Well, my family has been in this country since 1776 
........I have served in the military for something over 30 years and have had security clearances up the yingyang
..........However, I have to get someone 'important' to verify who I am - you know, someone like my doctor WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN INDIA ! 

Sincerely, You Sure In The Hell Should Know Who I Am. 

.....................And you want them to run our health care?!?
