Breast Cancer Petition – It’s legit.

Mastectomy Bill in Congress
Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill – Important legislation for all women.

There’s a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act which will
require insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital stay for
patients undergoing a mastectomy. It’s about eliminating the “drive-through
mastectomy” where women are forced to go home hours after surgery against the
wishes of their doctor, still groggy from anesthesia and sometimes with drainage
tubes still attached.

Lifetime Television has put this bill on their web page with a petition
drive to show your support.

Sign the petition by clicking on the web site below. You need not give more
than your name and zip code number.

What should be bought:

A new computer?
New living room furniture?

I think; for the first time, that I’m going to have to go for the furniture. The furniture is almost 8 years old and is *seriously* beat up. It is also hated by all of us. Most uncomfortable to park oneself on.

On the other hand; while the computer is only a couple of years old; it has been worked on, banged on and spilt on. It’s the only computer I’ve ever had that actually caused me problems, always – so far – recoverable.. (Usually SO is the one with the computer issues)

I could just invest in a couple of harddrives; some more ram……

hmmmm

Toilet brush wins wacky bowl

Michigan anti-lawsuit group gives out “awards” for wackiest warning labels on products.
January 6, 2005: 2:09 PM EST

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) – A toilet brush with a tag that says “Do not use for personal hygiene” has taken top prize for the wackiest consumer warning label of the year, according to an anti-lawsuit group.

Warnings

A major Hurricane (Shazza) measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale hit in the
early hours of Monday. Epicentre: Basildon, Essex. Victims were seen
wandering around aimless muttering “faaackin ell” …
The hurricane decimated the area causing approximately A?30 worth of damage.
Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearics and Spanish
Costa’s were damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historic burnt out cars
were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their giro arrived.

Essex FM (County Radio Station) reported that hundreds of residents were
confused and bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that
something interesting had happened in Basildon.

One resident – Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said “It was
such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom
crying. My youngest two Tyler-Morgan and Millie-Storm slept through it all.
I was still shaking when I was watching Trisha the next morning.”

Apparently though, looting, muggings and car crime did carry on as
normal.The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of
Sunny Delight to the area to help the stricken locals.

Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large
quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from
Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those
unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought

after, items most needed include:

— Fila or Burberry baseball caps
— Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers)
— Shell suits (female)
— White sport socks
— Rockport boots
— Any other items usually sold in Primark.

Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same. Required

foodstuffs include:
— Microwave meals
— Tins of baked beans
— Ice cream
— Cans of Colt 45 or Special Brew.

22p buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms
A?2 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9
A?5 will pay for a packet of B&H and a lighter to calm the nerves of those
affected.

**Breaking news**
Rescue workers found a girl in the rubble smothered in claret – ‘Where are
you bleeding from?’ they asked – “ROMFORD” said the girl, “woss that got to
do wiv it?”
