Third Watch. Never watched it when it was on. Not exactly a true medical drama... Love the old ER episodes before Mark died... Also love the old Emergency! from the 70s. (Everytime I type a report where the paramedics were called, I picture Johnny and Roy coming to the rescue! LOL!)

Send a Letter to "A Recovering American Soldier" at Walter Reed Army Medical Center-Fiction!

Summary of the eRumor:  
The brief email gives the address for the famous Walter Reed Army Medical Center and suggests that you include "A Recovering American Soldier" on your Christmas card list.
The Truth:  
The Walter Reed Army Medical Center will not receive letters that are not addressed to a particular soldier by name.

In a statement, the facility said "
Walter Reed cannot accept these packages in support of the decision by then Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Transportation Policy in 2001. This decision was made to ensure the safety and well being of patients and staff at medical centers throughout the Department of Defense."

The decision applies to packages, letters, Christmas cards, or any other mail not addressed to a soldier by name.

Additionally the U.S. Postal Service has stopped delivering any mail that is addressed to "A Recovering American Soldier" or "Any Wounded Soldier," which are the most common recommendations in the eRumors that circulate about sending messages to soldiers at Walter Reed.

Instead, Water Reed suggests making a donation to
www.americasupportsyou.mil which is a site representing more than 300 organizations helping the troops in various ways.

A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:

Being as autism discovered in 1943
sorta puts this theory to rest, doesn’t it? Years ago people with retardation, problems with autism not talked about, hidden by the families. In 1943 infants were not overpowered by vaccinations so nah, don’t hold vaccinations responsible.
See this article about a newly discovered petrified forest.

Scientists explore land bridge, petrified trees in Lake Huron



PONTIAC, Mich. -- Scientists hope to learn more about what the Great Lakes' shorelines looked like about 10,000 years ago.


They explored a limestone land bridge that went from Alpena to Goderich, Ontario _ a distance of about 125 miles _ and an underwater forest of petrified trees in Lake Huron.

The 2006 research, in which more than 500 dives were made, is the subject of a documentary film, "Great Lakes, Ancient Shores, Sinkholes." It premiered recently at the Cranbrook Institute of Arts in Bloomfield Hills, The Oakland Press reported in a story published Monday.

Another study is planned for 2007 and should result in a second film, "Great Lakes, Ancient Shores," said Luke Clyburn, lieutenant commander of the Great Lakes Division of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps and a Great Lakes ship captain.

"What we are learning about the Great Lakes of several thousand years ago may change the way we think of this area," Clyburn said.

Clyburn and other scientists have been filming in the Great Lakes for at least 25 years.

There is a petrified forest in 40 feet of water in Lake Huron about two miles offshore from Lexington, he said. Some of the trees have been carbon-dated to indicate they are 6,980 years old.

The Straits of Mackinac, a passage between lakes Michigan and Huron, have been spanned by the Mackinac Bridge since the mid-1950s but didn't exist several thousand years ago, Clyburn said.

"Lake Michigan was much higher than Lake Huron, and the two did not join as they do today at the straits," he said. But water from Lake Michigan seeped underground toward Lake Huron and the two bodies of water eventually became connected.

Clyburn's current film focuses on a sinkhole in Lake Huron about two miles from Alpena near Middle Island. In prehistoric times, the sinkholes were on dry land. Native Americans lived near these sinkholes because they provided water, which attracted game, he said.

I got my dog Walter at a boxer rescue and he looked like a boxer pup but I quickly discovered (sm)

He was either a mutant boxer or not even part of the litter I picked him from.  He had the jowly muzzle all the pups had, but he was huge.  He seemed to be the same age as the rest of the litter, you could tell by the eyes and the teeth, but he was kind of like the big clutz of the group.  But oh so cute.  He turned out to be huge and like a lab/great dane mix.  He has the short fur of a boxer and the big chest, and I now think he either was an orphan puppy who got put in with the litter or mom had another mate.  Either way, I am so happy he is the one I chose, he is such an interesting character and a really stunning and majestic dog.  Still a clutz though, he falls down over himself on the beach and stairs.  And he is so tall he prefers to sit on top of the stairs on the deck with his front paws a couple steps down.  But I've always had rescue dogs and they are so special. 


Walter, I posted below.  I am thinking now they either put him in with the litter
