What are your thoughts about forwarding/deleting good luck/bad luck emails (i.e. urban legend chain emails).  Example: I get an email from one of my friends.  Says to read the story then look at the photo.  The story goes on to say that the photo is of a young boy who asked his friend to take a picture of him at a certain spot, The young boy whose photo was being taken screamed and fainted and 2 days later died of a heart attack.  When the film was developed it showed this boy (actually looks like a teenager of Asian decent) and there stood a ghost next to him.  The email goes on about how some man received this email forwarded it to 13 friends and received all this good luck and stated another man just deleted it and his whole life was ruined. 

I'm thinking how gullible are these people.  Also I'm looking at the pic and the ghost is definitely from some horror movie I've seen before (maybe The Ring).  Can't quite place it but I know I've seen it somewhere before, which I think I've seen this boy before too in some other picture.  So I'm thinking how silly are these people (which by the way my freind sent to to exactly 13 people).  So I look up the place called Sundarbans and this is some urban legend.  If you put that name in Google up pops a picture of the boy and the so called ghost.

What I'm wondering is how many of you out there actually forward on emails like this believing that you just might have good luck (you know, things like win a bunch of money, get the raise you've been asking for or a promotion, they guy you've been wanting to date mysteriously calls you, or you are offered free chocolate the rest of your life)  HA HA, and how many of you just delete them.  I am one who deletes them, and it irritates me to no end that my friends go and include me in part of their montage of people they are emailing, so now all their friends have my email ID.  I guess I'm supposed to be obligated to send this email to 13 of my friends or else I become afflicted with some sort of bad luck.  What is even worse than this kind of email are the so called "religious - good luck emails (i.e. I'm sending you this Angel to watch over you, she was sent to me by my good friend and I usually don't forward these things but my friend wouldn't lie about where it came from and she received the promotion she had always been wanting, blah, blah, blah!

So just curious if any of you out there are as annoyed at these kind of emails than I am.  I know I could very nicely tell her to please not send me any more of these emails (which most of them I just delete anyway as soon as I see the word "Fw:" in the email address), but I don't want to hurt her feelings.  I don't believe in any of that stuff.  Maybe I will try searching for an article about urban legend emails and how if you just delete them nothing bad is going to happen.

On another note, I too have been caught up in the "send this email to all your friends and you will receive 12 days of good luck".  Can't tell you how many of those emails I have forwarded on in my time (mostly religious emails) and never once has any good luck been bestowed upon me because of it.  Who knows....maybe "The Big Man upstairs" (as my sister refers to him) gets annoyed that people are exploiting him like this.

i've been letting my hair grow out for almost a year and a half.  i've always worn my hair very very short, easy to take care of.  but with the help of my hubby giving me encouragement, i have hair that just touches my shoulders now.  i have naturally wavy/curly hair, thick.  i have layers in mine and after i get out of the shower, i put some mousse in it and let it air dry.  if i dry my hair with a dryer, i turn into a big frizz ball.  i bought a hair magazine with pictures in it and there are some really good articles in there for the different hair types.  they recommend you don't wash your hair every single day, because that can dry out your hair.  good luck!

never heard of him.

Here is the link (sorry about that)

I so looked forward to the premiere episode, and about 15 minutes before it came on, I was so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open, as bad as I wanted to.  So I Tivo'd it and will watch tonight.  Will check back with you tomorrow. 

The snow started coming down Sunday, it's oh, Wednesday, and we still haven't plowed out our driveway.  Two neighbors have actually called to make sure we're okay--isn't that just the sweetest thing?!  They can't fathom that no one would need to leave the house.  We don't even go out much in good weather but it's really easy to tell when no one leaves the house when there's snow on the ground....especially a foot and a half of it! 

Gotta do something about it soon though.  I'm sure the mailbox is gettin' all filled up with bills and whatnot, but I'm kinda diggin' it being outta sight and outta mind.

Here's some more from them.  I clicked on Gardasil Vaccine Reports on the CDC website. 

http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/vaers/FDA_and_CDC_Statement.htm

Information from FDA and CDC on Gardasil and its Safety

July 22, 2008

Gardasil was tested in over 11,000 women in the United States and around the world, and found to be safe and effective in preventing serious HPV-related diseases.  These studies showed that in women who have never been infected by HPV types 6, 11, 16 or 18, the vaccine is highly effective, both in preventing precancerous lesions that often develop into cancer of the cervix, vagina, and vulva, and in preventing genital warts often caused by these HPV types.

This vaccine is an important cervical cancer prevention tool that will potentially benefit the health of millions of women. Every year, about 12,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and almost 4,000 die from this disease in the United States. Worldwide, cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women, causing an estimated 470,000 new cases and 233,000 deaths per year.

Summary

Based on the review of available information by FDA and CDC, Gardasil continues to be safe and effective, and its benefits continue to outweigh its risks. 

CDC has not changed its recommendations for use of Gardasil. FDA has not made any changes to the prescribing information for how the vaccine is used or to the vaccine’s Precautions.  In addition, FDA routinely reviews manufacturing information, and has not identified any issues affecting the safety, purity and potency of Gardasil.
