Onions & Mayonnaise

ONIONS PLEASE READ TO THE END: IMPORTANT In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu.
Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.

The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.
Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ. She said that several years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work.. Try it and see what happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.

Now there is a P. S. To this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:

Thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmers story.. But, I do know that I contacted pneumonia and needless to say I was very ill.. I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion put it into an empty jar...placing the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said the onion would be black in the morning from the germs.. Sure enough it happened just like that.. The onion was a mess and I began to feel better.

Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.

This is the other note.

Lots of times when we have stomach problems we don't know what to blame.
Maybe it's the onions that are to blame. Onions absorb bacteria is the reason they are so good at preventing us from getting colds and flu's and is the very reason we shouldn't eat an onion that has been sitting for a time after it has been cut open.

LEFT OVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, Makers of mayonnaise.. Mullins is huge, and is owned by 11 brothers and sisters in the Mullins family. My friend, Jeanne, is the CEO.

Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.

The guy who gave us our tour is named Ed. He's one of the brothers Ed is a chemistry expert and is involved in developing most of the sauce formula.
He's even developed sauce formula for McDonald's.

Keep in mind that Ed is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's answer will surprise you. Ed said that all commercially- made Mayo is completely safe.

"It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it's not really necessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. He then talked about the quaint essential picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.

Ed says that! When food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the 'victim' last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says it's not the mayonnaise (as long as it's not homemade Mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It's probably the onions, and if not the onions, it's the POTATOES.

He explained, onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.. He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.

It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!) Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'! Ll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down..

Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.

Please remember it is dangerous to cut an onion and try to use it to cook the next day, it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates toxic bacteria which may cause adverse stomach infections because of excess bile secretions and even food poisoning.

Subject: 1% tax on all bank transactions HR4646

Watch for this AFTER November elections; remember this BEFORE you VOTE in case you think Obama's looking out for your best interest.

1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646

This government just cannot think of enough ways to hurt the American people! I sure hope this dies!!!!

FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!

1% tax on all bank transactions HR 4646 - ANOTHER NEW OBAMA TAX SLIPPED IN WHILE WE WERE ASLEEP. Checked this on snopes, it's true! Check out HR 4646.

President Obama's finance team is recommending a one percent (1%) transaction fee (TAX). Obama's plan is to sneak it in after the November elections to keep it under the radar .

This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution - banks, credit unions, savings and loans, etc. Any deposit you make, or even a transfer within your account, will have a 1% tax charged.
~If your paycheck or your social security or whatever is direct deposit, it will get a 1% tax charged for the transaction.
~If your paycheck is $1000, then you will pay Obama $10 just for the privilege of depositing your paycheck in your bank. Even if you hand carry your paycheck or any check into your bank for a deposit, 1% tax will be charged.
~You receive a $5,000 stock dividend from your broker, Obama takes $50 just to allow you to deposit that check in the bank.
~If you take $1,000 cash to deposit at your bank, 1% tax will be charged.

Mind you, this is from the man who promised that, if you make under $250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn about this guy's under-the-table moves to increase the number of ways you are taxed.

~Oh, and by the way, you receive a refund from the IRS next year and you have it direct deposited or you walk in to deposit that check, you guessed it. You will pay a 1% charge of that money just for putting it in your bank. Remember, any money, cash, check or whatever, no matter where it came from, you will pay a 1% fee if you put it in the bank.

Some will say, oh well, it's just 1%. Are you kidding me? It's a 1% tax increase across the board. Remember, once the tax is there, they can also raise it at will. And if anyone
protests, they will just say, "oh,that's not really a tax, it's a user fee"! Think this is no big deal? Go back and look at the transactions you made from last year's banking statements. Then add the total of all those transactions and deduct 1%. Still think it's no big deal???

Published July 17, 2011

A Pembroke Pines man about to be evicted from his townhouse was hospitalized Friday after law enforcement officers shot him when he threatened to burn down the place.
Police Sgt. John Gazzano said the incident began around 11:15 a.m. when a Broward Sheriff’s deputy showed up and tried to remove a male resident from a townhome in the gated Hampton Isles community in the 700 block of Southwest 107th Avenue.
The man, later identified in local television reports as Allen Gauntlett, 52, a security guard and ex-Jamaican police officer, refused to come out. The deputy called Pembroke Pines for assistance, Gazzano said.
“Our units were en route when the deputy called Pembroke Pines police to say the subject was setting his house on fire,” Gazzano said.
Then, more chaos erupted.
Officers fired multiple shots, leaving Gauntlett with life-threatening wounds, according to officials. He was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood where he underwent surgery later Friday.
Records from the Broward County Clerk of Courts show Gauntlett had fallen behind on monthly condo fees on the townhouse and the Hampton Isles condo board filed suit against him on Jan. 5, 2010. The case was assigned to Broward Circuit Judge Michele Towbin.
Those county records also show Allen G. Gauntlett and Audrey C. Gauntlett paid more than $8,000 in three checks to the condo board on Tuesday, but it was apparently too late in the process to stop Friday’s eviction.
When a homeowner or tenant receives notice of a pending eviction, there is often an angry response, said BSO spokesman Jim Leljedal. But, by moving day, “they know that it’s coming,” he said
Evictions in Broward are generally handled by the sheriff’s office, Leljedal said. Deputies typically work alone, but “if they sense a problem, they can call for backup. That’s what happened in this case.”
Pembroke Pines police provided few details on what forced officers to shoot. Gauntlett has a concealed weapons permit, but it was unknown whether he had a weapon at the time of the shooting.
As firefighters and paramedics arrived at the complex, south of Pines Boulevard and east of Hiatus Road, they saw flames and smoke coming from the townhouse. They quickly put out the fire, which was contained to the two-bedroom unit. Firefighters quickly searched for other occupants, but found none
The damage was described as “significant,” and estimated to be in excess $70,000, according to Tom Gallagher, spokesman for the Pembroke Pines Fire Department.
“The windows are broken and all black,” Gazzano said.
The city’s fire prevention bureau and the state fire marshal will continue to investigate the blaze
Neighbor Manuel Reyes said he saw Gauntlett push an officer and the officer opened fire.
Other residents in the subdivision were stunned to find out about the shooting. Those coming in were told to park across the street and walk into the community.

CONTRACT LAW seems to be the "Holy Grail" for some attorneys and judges. Every time some owner claims that things are not done the way it was stated in his original contract (CC&Rs), some attorney tells him/her to sit down and shut up: "You signed a contract..!

Check out all the legislative changes and see how the contractual rights of homeowners are trampled upon by our legislators. But who cares that people are losing their homes. So many foreclosures around -- who cares for a few more -- right?

 And it seems that nobody cares that the US and the FLORIDA CONSTITUTION only allow government entities to fine its citizens. And HOAs and condos are for sure no government entities. But here in Florida THE POWERS THAT BE still allow fines levied by untrained and often incompetent people, who are allowed to function as accusers, judge, jury and executioners. (Our founding fathers would turn in their graves if they knew.) [Association Fines Are Unconstitutional ]

As of now: Abracadabra -- protection is gone, attorneys get more billing hours and dictatorial boards more power to blackmail owners -- no matter what the original contract said. This is just one example of many showing that these so-called contracts aren't worth the paper they are written on. While owners are always being told to remember the contract they signed, our legislators trample upon the contractual rights of homeowners like a bull in a china shop. No wonder that many homeowners living in mandatory homeowners' associations in Florida feel like they are being treated like Third-Class Citizens.

AND NO MORE NEW POTENTIAL VICTIMS ARE MOVING TO FLORIDA.

Who's in charge?????

All the organs of the body were having a meeting,
trying to decide who was the one in charge.

"I should be in charge," said the brain, "Because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen."


"I should be in charge," said the blood, "Because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away."

"I should be in charge," said the stomach," Because I process food and give all of you energy."
"I should be in charge," said the legs, "because I carry the body wherever it needs to go."

"I should be in charge," said the eyes, "Because I allow the body to see where it goes."


"I should be in charge," said the rectum, "Because I'm responsible for waste removal."

All the other body parts laughed at the rectum
and insulted him,
so in a huff, he shut down tight.
Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache,
the stomach was bloated,
the legs got wobbly,
the eyes got watery,
and the blood was toxic.
They all decided that the rectum should be the boss
.
The Moral of the story?
Even though the others do all the work...
The ass hole is usually in charge

Maintenance Bills

Well, you ask for it and now you got it.  Your Maintenance bill this year will be well over $1500.00   Jake the snake was behind the no sue issue.  There are very few people at the meetings so it proves no one cares, NO ONE CARES.  All they want to do is call me a liar so go ahead and pay your maintenance bills,  There are many people in the community who are having it hard to make ends meet but who cares, right?

The developer did a bun job building the roads and we have to pay.  Some of you worship this guy.  Yes there are a few sick people in this community who love crooks.  We had to redo the bowling alleys, thanks to his second hand parts.  What happen to the animals heads?   What happen to the hard covered books.  Yes, he hasn't stopped and you people know all the answers.   I just love all you idiots who E-Mail me and don't sign your name.  Yes, you are a dumb idiot and know nothing.
