WOMEN ARE REALLY SMART!!!!

A woman will not ask unnecessary questions but will act as swiftly and as smartly as the high breed of the human specie that she is!!! (Brenda A. Ysaguirre)

The Gas Men

Two gas company servicemen, a senior training supervisor and a young trainee, were out checking meters in a suburban neighborhood. They parked their truck at the end of the alley and worked their way to the other end. At the last house a woman looking out her kitchen window watched the two men as they checked her gas meter.

Finishing the meter check, the senior supervisor challenged his younger co-worker to a foot race down the alley back to the truck to prove that an older guy could outrun a younger one.

As they came running up to the truck, they realized the lady from that last house was huffing and puffing right behind them. They stopped and asked her what was wrong.

Gasping for breath, she replied, "When I see two gas men running as hard as you two were, I figured I'd better run too!"

Trial: HIV vaccine 31 percent effective

ATLANTA (UPI) -- Trial data on 16,000 adult participants in Thailand shows a human immunodeficiency virus vaccine is safe and 31 percent effective, U.S. researchers say.

The Thai Phase III HIV vaccine study, also known as RV144, began October 2003. The placebo-controlled trial tested the safety and effectiveness of two vaccines: ALVAC-HIV vaccine -- the primer dose that is a modified canarypox vaccine developed by Sanofi Pasteur, based in Lyon, France -- and AIDSVAX B/E vaccine -- the booster dose that is a glycoprotein 120 vaccine developed by Vaxgen Inc. and now licensed to Global Solutions for Infectious Diseases, based in South San Francisco.

The vaccines are based on the subtype B and E HIV strains that commonly circulate in Thailand. The subtype B HIV strain is the one most commonly found in the United States.

"These new findings represent an important step forward in HIV vaccine research," Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which provided major funding and other support for the study, said in a statement.

"For the first time, an investigational HIV vaccine has demonstrated some ability to prevent HIV infection among vaccinated individuals."

Negative H1N1 test may not be negative

AS WE GET READY FOR WHAT IS FEARED TO BE AN EVEN WORST FLU SEASON, HERE ARE SOME FACTS WE MAY NEED TO KNOW!!!


ATLANTA (UPI) -- A positive rapid test for influenza is helpful, but a negative result does not rule out pandemic influenza A H1N1 infection, U.S. health officials said.

The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention's Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report said Thursday two school outbreaks of pandemic influenza last May diagnosed at Greenwich Hospital in Connecticut afforded an opportunity to examine the performance of a rapid diagnostic test in detecting the pandemic virus formally called swine flu.

Dr. James R. Sabetta of the Greenwich Department of Health and the Connecticut Department of Public Health compared the results from rapid tests with the reverse transcriptase -- polymerase chain reaction assay.

A low sensitivity of 47 percent was found for the rapid test. The performance could not be explained by the clinical features of the patients or by the timing of the specimen collection, the report said.

The results affirm recent CDC recommendations not to use negative rapid test results for the management of patients with possible pandemic influenza A H1N1 infection, health officials said.

RAISINS MAY PREVENT TOOTH DECAY!!!!!

HILO, Hawaii (UPI) -- A healthy alternative to sugary snacks -- raisins -- may actually prevent tooth damage, U.S. researchers say.

In addition to the polyphenols, flavonoids and iron in raisins, U.S. researchers also found germ-fighters that may suppress tooth disease.

One of the many antimicrobial phytochemicals found in raisins -- oleanolic acid -- has been shown to suppress the tooth disease-causing Streptococcus mutans biofilm.

Grape seed extract, high in proanthocyanidins, has been found to positively affect the in vitro demineralization and/or remineralization processes of damaged tooth root and may have the potential of being natural agent for non-invasive root caries -- cavities -- therapy, the researchers said.

The researchers hypothesized that raisins contain antimicrobial phytochemicals capable of suppressing oral pathogens associated with caries or periodontal diseases and thus benefit oral health.

The findings are described in a special supplement on grapes and health published in the Journal of Nutrition.

NO FOOL, LIKE AN OLD FOOL

It appears that when we get older we do not get wiser as was the belief back in the days of old. Today, it is common fact that the older we get the more foolish we become.

I have been doing a research and have spoken to 100 women ages 49 to 65 and the results shows that the older fremales become they soften and do things that they would never do when they were younger.

For example:
1. Allow grandchildren to do things they did not let their children do (Stay out late, talk back, sit around when visitors arrive)

2. Donate money to causes they know are false

3. Give grandchildren money freely while their own children had to work for their allowance

4. Wear clothes made of huge floral material and with a lot of frilly parts.

5. Wear clothes that were worn in the 60s to the embarassment of their family.

WHAT DO WE DO WHEN THE OTHER WOMAN IS A MARRIED WOMAN?



(WRITTEN FOR A FRIEND WHO ASKED FOR ADVICE)
Hell, the world is filled with men and women having extra marital affairs these days. Why is this so common in everyday living? Why is it that now it is common to see married woman becoming the other woman? The world has gone insane. And age is not a factor anymore!!Older women seem to have a problem with older husbands and are looking for younger men to become their "toy boy". Now we don´t even have to look far. They are right in our back yard. Damn, what is wrong with these 60 PLUS year olds??? Lordy, lordy!!! Grow up ladies. Have some dignity. And if your husband is acting like he does not know... you are fooling yourselves!!!! No man can be that stupid!!!

So what do we do. Darlings, don´t give in but let the B.... suffer for everything!!! They want to be a part of your life... well they can IF THEY PUT DOWN AND GIVE OUT. AFTER ALL WHAT DO THEY THINK THEY ARE GETTING? A FREEBIE? REMEMBER, There is only need for one person to be the stupid one!!! Then after awhile when they think that all is well and calm... ATTACK WITH EVIDENCE. Yes, darlings, collect evidence and use to protect and preserve that which is rightfully yours.

After all this is your life they have entered, you can´t let them take over... and remember YOU AREN´T THE OTHER WOMAN... and the b..... has her own man to go home to!!!

Comments... well, this is my view so you can have an opinion. Especially, if you are THE OTHER WOMAN!!!!

have a great day!!! PEACE!!!
