Organize Your Vital Documents

Location list of records
This short index is easy to create. Open each file drawer (or box) where you keep records, and list the contents. Example: top drawer of the black filing cabinet—car records, club memberships, employment info, insurance policies. Green box under the guest room bed—medical records, mortgage, tax records. Bowl on top of the refrigerator—warranties and paid bills.

Use this worksheet to help organize your important papers.

Photocopies of what's in your wallet
Once a year, make a copy of all the credit and ID cards you carry around. Place as many cards as will fit on the screen, photocopy, then flip the cards over and do the other side. Don't forget medical insurance, voter registration and health club membership cards. If your wallet ever disappears, here are some numbers that will come in handy:

Master list of all your accounts
(Savings, checking and credit card, as well as investment and insurance records)
Millions of dollars go unclaimed every year because people lose track of their holdings. Remember that insurance policy you bought in college? Hey, you could have money coming to you! Write down every bank, credit card, investment and insurance account you have. For each, list the institution, type of account (checking? money market?), owner or policyholder (you? you and a relative?), account number and contact information. Add frequent flier accounts, computer access codes and any other key passwords to this document.

Use this master list worksheet to keep track of all your accounts.

Safe-deposit-box inventory
Make a list of all the irreplaceables (jewelry, photo negatives, heirlooms) as well as the critical documents (marriage license, birth certificate, stocks and bonds) that you've stored under lock and key. Photocopy the documents for your household files.

Once you've completed your Vital Documents Map, store a copy in three different places: (1) in a clearly marked folder in your home or office (2) with your attorney, a close friend, or a family member who doesn't live with you and (3) in your safe-deposit box.

Papaya...this wonderful fruit..

青木瓜泡茶 痛風不見了這是真的有效果,用一般綠茶茶葉泡也可以,我堂哥吃了有效,我也教有痛風的朋友喝(他腳趾關
節已變形),一週後就有很明顯的改善,兩週後就正常了,事隔有近三年了,沒聽他說有痛過,不過他怕復發,每月都會喝1~3次。
This is a really effective, just mix green papaya cubes to the ordinary green tea, my cousin brother tried and found it very effective. I have also shared with a friend with gout to try this (his "toe joints" started to deform), after a week of drinking this formula there is significant improvement, after two weeks the toe joints heal and revert to normal state. It is almost three years now, the joint pain is gone, but he maintain the intake between 1-3 times monthly to avoid relapse.
其他的朋友喝了都有解決多年痛風的困擾,沒事也可喝,還不錯。
Other friends suffering from years of gout problem have also recovered. It is good for all, even those without gout.
好方法喔~~趕快告訴需要的人吧!!!!
Good formula! Do share with the people in need!
中國藥學院--- 賴 教授改良新方式:
An improved sequence by Professor Lai from the China School of Pharmacy :
將青木瓜切成丁放入水中煮沸後才放入茶葉,泡茶過程和一般茶葉相同。據實際臨床經驗效果更佳,而且治療尿酸效果更佳(須常期喝)
Cut green papaya into small cubes, place into the water, bring to boil, then add green tea leaves, similar to the tea-making process. Clinical tests show that this brings better effects for treatment of gout, subject to frequent drinking of this formula.
青木瓜泡茶
台南縣仁德鄉後壁村長劉結慶患胃痛多年,把青木瓜當做茶壺泡茶喝,一個月後竟治癒宿疾,家人尿酸過多喝木瓜泡茶也不藥而癒,劉村長因而種了許多木瓜,送給有病的親友鄉親。
Mr Liu Qing, Chief of the Rende Town in Tainan, was suffering for years from severe stomach pain around the posterior wall of stomach. He used green papaya as a tea pot to prepare the family tea daily, after a month his chronic disease condition was much improved. His family members with high uric acid were also healed by the same papaya tea. For this Mr Liu planted a lot of papaya to share with relatives and friends with similar sickness.
劉村長說,青木瓜最好選擇果實肥短,容量比較大,將木瓜頂部切開,挖出木瓜內的種籽,再開一個小缺口方便倒茶水,8 F一邊開個小洞透氣,放入茶葉、倒進沸水後蓋回木瓜頂部,並以牙籤固定,泡茶過程和一般茶葉相同。
According to Mr Liu, in selection of the Green Papaya as tea pot, pick those whose shape are fat and short, with larger capacity. Cut off the top part of the papaya, clear away the seeds, open a small hole at the upper side wall to facilitate pouring of tea. Create a small ventilation hole at top cover, put in the tea leaves, pour in boiling water, place the top cover back to papaya, you may use the toothpicks to secure the top cover. Similar to normal process of preparing tea.
劉村長表示,茶葉使用一般品質的烏龍茶即可,味道不錯,他當做茶水喝了一個月,困擾多年無法治癒的胃痛居然不藥而癒,自己也感到驚訝,他把木瓜茶葉拿給在醫學中心任職的友人檢驗,證實木瓜酵素有益健康,現在只要果園木瓜有適合的果實,就拿來與親友分享。
Liu like to use Oolong tea as the taste is good. He was pleasantly surprised that the stomach pains he suffered for many years was healed after a month of drinking tea from the green papaya pot, without taking any other medication. He passed some green papaya leaves to a friend who worked at a Medical Center to test and analyse the content. The tests confirmed that healthy the enzyme present in papaya is beneficial to human health. Now as papaya in Mr Liu's orchard is yeilding suitable size fruit, he would share the fruits with family and friends.
種植木瓜多年的農民徐福昌說,本地民眾所指的青木瓜,就是還未成熟、果皮仍呈青綠色的木瓜,一般木瓜要四個月左右才會成熟,但成熟後就沒有療效,青木瓜大約在三個月大左右採收,這時果實較,果實內的「木瓜奶」含有木瓜酵素、木瓜等有B健康成份,不但可泡茶喝,還可以切塊連同排骨熬,或切細絲加蒜頭炒,都非常可口,對人體也沒有不良影響。
Xu Fuchang, an experienced papaya farmers, the green papaya refers to papaya that is not ripe, where the skin is still green in colour. Generally, the papaya takes about four months to fully mature and ripe, but there healing effect would be lost after it is fully ripe. Green Papaya should be harvested when the papaya is approximately three months old, when the fruit is still firm, and the "papaya milk" contains high papaya enzyme and other healthy ingredients. Not only the green papaya can be used in tea drinking, you may also cut them into cubes, and boil with the ribs, or even slicing the green papaya into fine long pieces and fried with garlic, very tasty, and no adverse effects on the human body.

a few reasons why we should eat eggs......

Health Benefits of Eggs

1. Eggs are great for the eyes. According to one study, an egg a day may prevent macular degeneraton due to the carotenoid content, specifically lutein and zeaxanthin. Both nutrients are more readily available to our bodies from eggs than from other sources.

2. In another study, researchers found that people who eat eggs every day lower their risk of developing cataracts, also because of the lutein and zeaxanthin in eggs.

3. One egg contains 6 grams of high-quality protein and all 9 essential amino acids

4. According to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health, there is no significant link between egg consumption and heart disease. In fact, according to one study, regular consumption of eggs may help prevent blood clots,stroke, and heart attacks..

5. They are a good source of choline. One egg yolk has about 300 micrograms of choline. Choline is an important nutrient that helps regulate the brain, nervous system, and cardiovascular system.

6. They contain the right kind of fat. One egg contains just 5 grams of fat and only 1.5 grams of that is saturated fat.

7. New research shows that, contrary to previous belief, moderate consumption of eggs does not have a negative impact on cholesterol. In fact, recent studies have shown that regular consumption of two eggs per day does not affect a person's lipid profile and may, in fact, improve it. Research suggests that it is saturated fat that raises cholesterol rather than dietary cholesterol.

8. Eggs are one of the only foods that contain naturally occurring vitamin D.

9. Eggs may prevent breast cancer. In one study, women who consumed at least 6 eggs per week lowered their risk of breast cancer by 44%.

10. Eggs promote healthy hair and nails because of their high sulphur content and wide array of vitamins and minerals. Many people find their hair growing faster after adding eggs to their diet, especially if they were previously deficient in foods containing sulphur or B12

A Story to live by......

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'

有一位瞎女很討厭自己因為眼睛瞎了。她也討厭每個人,唯一不討厭的是她的男朋友,因為他都常守在她身旁。於是她對她的男朋友說:「如果能讓我看到這個世界,我愿意嫁給你!」

One day,someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

有一天,有人捐了一對眼精給她。當紗布解開時,她能夠看到一切,包括她的男朋友。

He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life
led her to refuse to marry him.

男朋友問她:「現在你可以看到這世界,你愿意嫁給我嗎?」那女孩看了男朋友是個瞎子,他那對蓋上眼皮的眼睛嚇到了她,這是她無法想像。她想:要我嫁給他而一生對着他這個樣子,我無法接受。

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'


於是,她的男朋友很傷心的離開她,幾天後寫了字條給她:「親愛的,請你好好照顧你的眼睛,因為它不是屬於你的之前,它是屬於我的。」

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

這也是人的腦會如何做當情況有所變動。只有少許人會記得他或她之前的生活及誰會在身旁當他或她處在困境的時候

Life Is a Gift

生命是一份禮物

Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.

今天,當你要講一句不善之言--請想想那些無法講話的人

當你要埋怨食物的味道時--請想想那些沒有食物吃的人

Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone
who's crying out to GOD for a companion.

當你要埋怨你的先生或太太時--請想想那些在向上天哭訴要一個伴侶的人

Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who died too early on this earth.

今天,當你要埋怨生活時--請想想那些太早離開人世間的人

Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren....

當你要埋怨小孩時--請想想那些渴望小孩而無能生育的人

Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.

當你要爭論沒有人清理屋子時--請想想那些住在街邊的人

Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

當你在哀訴駕駛的路程--請想想那些同樣的路程以代步的人

And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

當你很疲備而埋怨工作時--請想想那些無工作,殘疾的,及那些多麼希望擁有你這份工作的人

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.

當你想要指著人或互相譴責時--請記得沒有一個人是無罪

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.

當壓抑的念頭讓你無法振作時--請你笑一笑想想:你還活著存在世間!

I PRAY THIS MOVES AROUND THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE...


我祈禱這訊息能夠繼續傳至全人類..............

Bottle of Wine

(Women will LOVE this one!)
A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold Monday morning; it's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished, but amazingly neither of them is hurt. God works in mysterious ways.
After they crawl out of their cars, the man is yelling about women drivers.
The woman says, 'So, you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should be friends and live in peace for the rest of our days.'
Flattered, the man replies, 'Oh yes, I agree completely, this must be a sign from God! But you're still at fault...women shouldn't be allowed to drive.'
The woman continues, 'And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune.' She hands the bottle to the man.
The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman.
The woman takes the bottle, puts the cap back on and hands it back to the man.
The man asks, 'Aren't you having any?'



The woman replies, 'No. I think I'll just wait for the police...'
