ICE and Random Chit Chat

I got an e-mail from a friend today and instead of doing a forward which I hate I decided to put most of the e-mail here.


ICE Campaign - "In Case of Emergency"

We all carry our cell phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.

If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our cell phone but wouldn't know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Campaign. The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" (In Case Of Emergency). The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always cell phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call. Therefore, he thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose.

In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as "ICE."

For more than one contact name simply enter! ICE1, ICE2, ICE3, etc. A great idea that will make a difference! Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our cell phones today!

Sounds like a good idea to me.

We are back in the sick zone in our house. Nothing major just the sniffles and other cold symptoms. The hard part is when we all feel bad at the same time and the kids wake up at night. Mr. Man and I are tired!!! This is a major understatement to say the least. I was about ready to leave around 2 in the morning and just go somewhere for a while. Needless to say we need a vacation, and a new job situation. I would take a full time job just about anywhere right now so that Mr. Man doesn't have to work.

On a happy note the FlyLady has been helping me get our house in order. We have been able to see the kitchen table for 3 days now! Slowly but surely I'm making progress on getting things in order. Once things are in order I'll have some room to start having dates with Gunner. Between cleaning more and nursing I can fit in size 8 pants! I don't remember the last time that has happened. I wonder what would happen if I actually moved. More importantly than getting into smaller pants I need to regain some ab/back strength to help my back troubles. I just found a wonderful chiropractor and got my first adjustment in 3.5 years. I'm in some rough shape and I need to build some muscle to help what the chiropractor is doing.

I think the kids are finally sleeping so it's time to clean up the kitchen and get to sleep...maybe.
