Blue Monday - Thanksgiving Lunch

Hello world how are you today? Well, it is cold here in Indiana. My entry for blue Monday is our Thanksgiving lunch picture. Our plan for thanksgiving was to eat in Golden Corral because one of the co-worker of hubby that lives in this area told him that GC has a great Thanksgiving dinner. But our plan did not go through because our vehicle will not crank up and hubby said something wrong with the fuse. God is really wonderful that our vehicle miss up during hubby's break from work. The second option of the thanksgiving was in Chinese restaurant that was just few steps from the hotel we stayed. We just walk there and ate our Thanksgiving lunch. We enjoyed the food and the places were pretty specially the lights above the food. As you can see in the image above it was really pretty. Thank you for coming and take care.

The first picture above was my very own laptop. I just took the picture and sorry is a little dark since I did not put lots of lights in there. I always put my son's picture or hubby with our son as my desktop image then I will just change it when I am bored of the picture that is the time I will find another picture of both of them. I am very bored if my laptop is down specially that I have business online this laptop is handy and very important as part of my life.

The Unhealthiest States In America

The other day I am wondering how clean is the states here in USA. I found a research of identifying the unhealthiest states in US. I am happy that our state is not included for the unhealthiest states in USA. I am proud of it as a resident of North Carolina.

So here are the lists:

1. Mississippi
* Its title is well-earned: Mississippi has the highest rate of teenage births in the nation, the highest age-adjusted death rate, the highest infant mortality rate and the highest rate of sexually transmitted diseases. It also has the largest precentage of obese adults and adults who do not exercise.

2. Louisiana
* Louisiana has the second-highest age-adjusted death rate, the second-highest infant mortality rate and the worst access to primary care.

3. New Mexico
* It has the third-highest teenage birth rate, poor prenatal care, high rates of suicide and poor health insurance coverage. The availability of hospital beds and primary care is also poor.

4. Nevada
* It is the No. 1 worst state for prenatal care and has the second-highest suicide rate in America.

5. Florida
* The percentage of its population not covered by health insurance is one of the worst in the country. It also ranks fourth for new cancer cases and third for new AIDS cases.

6. Georgia
* It ranks fourth for the number of new AIDS cases reported and fifth for the number of sexually transmitted diseases. On the plus side, it has one of the best rates of child immunization.

7. South Carolina
* For the eleventh year in a row, the Palmetto State has fallen into the top ten unhealthy states. Contributing to its rank are its high percentage of low birth weight babies, high infant mortality rate, high number of new AIDS cases and high rate of sexually transmitted diseases.

8. Oklahoma
* Its high teenage birth rate, poor prenatal care, high age-adjusted death rate and high percentage of people not covered by health insurance are just some of the factors keeping it there.

9. Alabama
* Alabama is in the top five for low birth weight babies, age-adjusted death rate, infant mortality, sexually transmitted diseases, poor primary care access, obesity and non-exercising adults.

10. Delaware
* Helping to bring Delaware down are its percentage of mothers receiving late or no prenatal care, its high infant mortality rate, high rate of new AIDS cases and sexually transmitted diseases.

11. Arizona
* Over the years, the Grand Canyon State has climbed from being the 25th most unhealthy state (in 1993) all the way up to the eleventh. The high teen birth rate, poor rate of mothers receiving prenatal care and high percentage of people not covered by health insurance are partly to blame.

12. Texas
* It is also the state with the highest percentage of people not covered by health insurance in the U.S.

13. Alaska
* Alaska is known as the Last Frontier. Unfortunately, this seems to apply to the state of its health care too. Equally unfortunate is Alaska's suicide rate. It's the highest in the nation. Alaska also has the second-highest rate of sexually transmitted diseases.

14. Arkansas
* Arkansas ranks 7th for both adults who smoke and adults who don't exercise.

15. Tennessee
* Tennessee is tied with Michigan and Oklahoma for having the fifth largest percentage of obese adults in America. It ranks No. 6 for having the largest percentage of adults who don't exercise.

Inspirational Messages For The Day

At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty.

That was then the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals could die like Jesus. And with Jesus things were worst, because not all the criminals condemned to death could receive nails on their hands and feet.

Of course, nails... Big nails! Each was 15 - 20 cm long, with a point of 6 cm. Another point was sharp.

The nails were struck into the pulses, and not into the palms, as we have been told. In the pulse, there's a tendon which extends to the shoulder, and when the nails were being hammered, that tendon broke, obliging Jesus to reinforce all the muscles of his back, so that he could breathe as He was losing all the air from his lungs.

In this way, He was forced to support Himself onto the nail struck in his feet, which was bigger than those struck into his pulses, for both feet were nailed together. And, as his feet could not endure for a long time without tearing, Jesus was forced to alternate that "cycle" so that He could breathe.

Jesus endured that reality for over 3 hours.

Yes, over 3 hours! Long time, isn't it? Few minutes before He died, Jesus was not bleeding anymore.

He was simply pouring water from his cuts and holes.

When we imagine Him injured, we only picture Him with injuries, but it is not enough; His wounds were true holes, made in his body.

He had no more blood to bleed, He only poured water.
The human body is composed of nearly 3.5 litres of blood (for an adult).

Jesus poured all 3.5 litres of his blood; He had three nails hammered into his limbs; a crown of thorns on his head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who nailed a spear into his side.

All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying his own cross for almost 2 kilometres, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where his hands were nailed).

Jesus had to pass all this experience, so that you can have free access to God. So that your sins could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception! Don't ignore this situation. HE DIED FOR YOU! For you, who now read this e-mail. Do not believe that He only died for others (those who go to the church or for pastors, bishops, etc).

He died for you! It is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail, but when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others because you are worried of what they may think about your morals.

Accept the reality, the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD.

God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced to save you. Now think about this! May God bless your life!

60 seconds with God...

During 60 seconds, leave whatsoever you're doing and seize this opportunity! Let's see if satan can stop this.

8 Perfect Stay Young Foods

After I check my email from yahoo I notice this article about foods that will help you stay or look younger. There are so many people using medicines or a surgery to make themselves young. But there are natural way to make yourself younger as it should be. I remember when i was in college that those people who doesn't know me are mistaken about how old I am. They thought I am just in my teens but I am almost 30 in that time. My secret is just eating food that are healthy. So here are those foods that helps you look or stay young. I got this article from yahoo health.

1. Eggs - benefit is weight loss
* According to the study of International Journal of Obesity that those people replace carbs with eggs for breakfast lose weight 65 percent quicker. Researchers in Michigan were able to determine that regular egg eaters enjoyed more vitamins and minerals in their diets than those who ate few or no eggs. By examining surveys from more than 25,000 people, the researchers found that egg eaters are about half as likely to be deficient in vitamin B12, 24 percent less likely to be deficient in vitamin A, and 36 percent less likely to be deficient in vitamin E. And here’s something more shocking: Those who ate at least four eggs a week had significantly lower cholesterol levels than those who ate fewer than one. Turns out, the dietary cholesterol in the yolk has little impact on your serum cholesterol.

2. Green Tea - benefit is longer lifespan
* Has been used for stomach disorders, vomiting, diarrhea, to prevent dental cavities, to lower cholesterol levels, as an antioxidant, to reduce cancer, and as a stimulant.

3. Garlic - the benefit Cardiovascular strengthening.

4. Grapefruit the benefits is weight loss.

5. Greek Yogurt the benefit is the feeling fuller for longer.

6. Avocado the benefit is to reduced risk of heart disease.

7. Bell Peppers the benefit is to improved immune function.

8. Almonds the benefit is to improved memory.

Indiana Life

Last Friday we are traveling from our place in NC going here in Indiana where hubby got a job in a coal mining company. He want to come earlier so that we can find a better place to live and familiarize the place. We look and look for few places to live but it was very high. There was an Inn that was very reasonable to live but it was dangerous for our son. It was in the second floor and the room is just like an old style room in which the rooms was all outside. I am afraid that our son can open the door since there was no child safety lock. we went to other place in which there are more than 11k residents and we found the hotel that is cheaper and only one block from the post office. It was one of my requirements that the post office is really close and we got it. This morning I walked going to the post office to deliver some mails from my store online. I am happy to have such a nice place to live. I hope and pray that we will survive and will going home can pay some bills.(wink) Here are some pictures that I took on the way to Indiana....
