| The Obedient Wife' | for everyone |
There was a man, who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money,
And was a real miser when it came to his money.
Just before he died, he said to his wife...'When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me.
I want to take my money to the afterlife with me.'
And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that when he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him.
Well, he died.
He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said,
'Wait just a moment!'
She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away.
So her friend said,
'Girl, I know you were not foolish enough to put all that money in there with your husband.'
The loyal wife replied,
'Listen, I'm a Christian;
I cannot go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money into the casket with him.'
You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!?!?!?'
'I sure did,' said the wife.
'I got it all together, put it into my account, and wrote him a cheque.....
If he can cash it, then he can spend it.
Send this to every clever female you know, and
to every man who thinks they are smarter than women!!!

| High Diastolic Blood Pressure Causes | for everyone |
High Diastolic Blood Pressure Causes
The blood circulating inside our body exerts pressure on the walls of the blood vessels and this pressure is known as blood pressure. Blood pressure fluctuates between the systolic and diastolic beat. Diastolic pressure is the measurement of the heart beat when blood flows into the heart. The typical blood pressure ratio (e.g 140/90) denotes the systole (numerator) and the diastole (denominator). Thus, the minimum value stands for diastole and the maximum for systole. In this article we shall mainly deal with the reasons behind increase in the value of diastolic pressure. The instrument used to measure blood pressure is known as sphygmomanometer. When the readings go beyond normal (80-90 mm/Hg), a person is known to be suffering from high blood pressure. High diastolic blood pressure causes are mostly associated with unhealthy lifestyle and bad eating habits. The following content will elaborate in this matter.
High Diastolic Blood Pressure: Causes
Our blood pressure fluctuates in between muscle contractions. Abnormal blood pressure readings are indications of underlying heart disorders. The causes of high diastolic blood pressure readings are illustrated in the text written below.
Diabetes
One of the main reasons for high blood pressure is diabetes (both type 1 and type 2). Presence of high levels of sugar inside the body gives rise to further complications associated with kidney and liver. Chances of heat attack is also high for diabetic people.
Obesity
The fats deposited inside the body of overweight people put additional tension on the arterial system of their body. This directly increases the rate of flow of blood, stepping up the blood pressure reading all of a sudden. People suffering from diabetes and obesity simultaneously show high reading of blood pressure that carrying greater risks of coronary diseases, like thrombosis.
Kidney Disease
Kidney disease is one of the primary reason behind secondary hypertension, affecting mostly old people. It causes renal artery stenosis. Atherosclerosis causes narrowing of renal arteries that causes high readings of blood pressure. Other types of kidney diseases that raises diastolic blood pressure are renal parenchymal disease and polycystic kidney disease.
Diet
How is your diet related with high diastolic blood pressure? Here's the explanation. High diastolic blood pressure causes associated with unhealthy diet is becoming more rampant among all age groups. Consumption of excessive carbohydrates not only increases the sugar level but also uplifts blood pressure. Trans fatty acids and saturated fatty acids cause deposition of cholesterol in the arteries. This leads to stiffening of arteries and increasing the levels of blood pressure.
Addiction
Smoking and drinking are the worst addictions for human beings. Deposition of nicotine enhances the pace of heart beat while alcohol directly affects the nervous system of human beings. Smoking and drinking habits also grow to overcome diastolic hypertension. Finally it takes toll on the health.
Medications
People who are dependent on medications tend to have high diastolic blood pressure. Administration of corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, oral contraceptives, decongestants increase the blood pressure at some point of time. Excessive intake of hypertension pills also have a reverse effect on body in the long run.
Disease History
People who have suffered heart attack earlier more often have a high readings of blood pressure. Thyroid disorders, adrenal tumors and Cushing syndrome show peak value of blood pressure readings. Coarctation of aorta is another disease responsible for high diastolic blood pressure. Thus presence of underlying disease can be detected from the values of readings.
High diastolic blood pressure symptoms at the initial stage can be detected by certain changes in the state of the body. A person will experience low energy, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, restlessness, headaches and confusion. The signs and symptoms of high blood pressure become evident with respiratory troubles, left arm pain, chest pain and frequent urination. With this, chances of getting heart attacks, coronary heart diseases, aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and pericardial diseases also increase. The dangers of high blood pressure can be controlled with proper treatment on immediate detection of the underlying disorders.
Now the question is how to lower diastolic blood pressure? High diastolic blood pressure treatment mainly deals with intake of appropriate medication of to bring down the readings. The treatments of high blood pressure determined by doctors must be followed regularly to avoid aggravation of symptoms. The causes associated with obesity, diet and diabetes are easily controlled with medications for a certain time period. Apart from the medications, one needs to chalk out a proper diet plan that will completely exclude tobacco and alcohol. In this context read about the high blood pressure diet plan. To lead a healthy life one must exercise regularly and lead a normal lifestyle devoid of unhealthy elements.

Nails Care
Nail Growth :
For your nails to be healthy your diet should include a lot of fruits and raw vegetables so that they get the required vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Eat food that is rich in silicon like broccoli, fish and onions. Eat foods rich in biotins like whole grains. Drink plenty of water and other fruit juices. Food rich in zinc and vitamin B will strengthen your nails. Fresh carrot juice rich in calcium and phosphorous is perfect for strengthening nails.
Nail Polish Tips :
To put on the nail polish..first paint the left side of your nail..then the right side..then the middle. let it dry and then do another coat. then put a clear polish on once its all dry to make it last longer..Try not to do too many strokes - that makes it look thick & gloppy. Try just doing three; left side, middle, right side If you're using a dark color, put a clear top coat on the nail before applying the color; this will help to not stain nail & it will be easier to get off.Always apply a top coat - it makes the color look more shiny & makes it last longer.
Nail Polish Remove:
Nail polish may be impossible to remove. Try nail polish remover but do not use on acetate or triacetate fabrics. Place stain facedown on clean paper towels. Apply nail polish remover to back of stain. Replace paper towels frequently. Repeat until stain disappears, if it does. Rinse and launder try nail polish remover or surgical spirit or there is a product in the shops called stain devil there are various ones for various type of stains there is one for nail polish you could try that.
Nails and Dishwashing :
Try to get into the habit of using gloves and as an extra benefit, rub on a little handcream first. The heat from the hot water helps in the absorption process
Saving The Nails :
Go to a nail salon and like get a treatment or whatever. i suggest not doing anything to your nails for awhile and letting the crappy parts grow out. then just grow your nails long and get them done & shaped and get a pretty french manicure, taht way its your real nail, not an icky fake one. my gramma got fake ones and got fungus.rub vegetable oil or corn oil on your nails before you go to sleep and when you wake up in the morning. it makes your nails harder and makes them grow faster.
Shaping The Nail :
Do not file the sides of the nail - this will weaken the structure and make them more breakable. File only the top.Make sure your file is not to abrasive or it will cause fraying at the tip and will also be more breakable. I recommend a 240 grit for natural nails
Common Nail Tips :
Nail fungus also occurs to people who have a weak immune system. Therefore, eating a healthy diet would help in treating nail fungus. The healthier your immune system is, the bigger the chance that it can fight off the fungus. Your daily diet must always include fresh vegetables and fruits.

Best 10 Print Marketing Ideas For Small Businesses
If you are running a small business, every marketing campaign that you do should really stand out. However, budget will certainly be a great concern. You do not expect to compete with large corporations with millions of dollars in their marketing and advertising pockets. But you can turn to good old print marketing for great promotional ideas.
Your marketing campaign need not be in a grand scale. Just a few printed materials should be enough to get the word out about your business or any promo that you are trying to announce. Here are 10 wonderful print marketing ideas that should kick start your small business.
1. Posters
No business should be without any posters. Traditional promotional marketing calls for this type of collateral. You can design an eye-catching poster, put it up in the places where your target customers frequent, and it will keep on announcing your marketing message for as long as it is there.
2. Flyers
If your customers will not go to you, then go to your customers. Let one or two of your employees go outside of your shop and start handing out flyers. Again, location is key. Go to the train station. Go to the mall. Go to the park. Anywhere your customers might be, you should be there too giving them your flyers.
3. Stationery
Office stationery should not be dull and ordinary. Get your business logo, address and contact details printed on each of your stationery pieces. You will never know where a piece of it might turn up.
4. Brochures
Get a bunch of brochures printed and hand them out to any customer who would walk in or to any person for that matter. Brochures quickly change hands especially if they are beautifully designed and unique.
5. Postcards
Do you have a mailing list? Make good use of it by sending everyone in your list a postcard and maybe a little souvenir just to get their attention. Print a little message on the postcard together with your business name, contact details and any promo you may want to inform them.
6. Books
While book printing may not be for any business, it is actually a good idea to commemorate a milestone. Are you celebrating your 10th anniversary in business? That is a feat by itself. Celebrate it by having a book published about your company's history or a coffee table book filled with pictures. This will make a good giveaway especially to your loyal customers.
7. Banners
There is nothing like announcing to the world in a big way. And banners are just the right print marketing tool for that. You can place one in front of your shop or at another location. Anywhere that your customers would be walking by and take notice of it.
8. Displays
Where is the best place to promote your business? In your own shop of course. Create some printed display materials and place these prominently in your shop or office. A standee right by the entrance is a great way to tell your customers about your new offers.
9. Keyrings and Keytags
People will always have keys and they will always need something to keep them safe. Keyrings and keytags are perennial company gifts and novelty items. They are cheap and easy to give away to your customers. These are also great for your branding.
10. T-shirts
Make your customers your very own walking billboards. Create an astounding t-shirt design, and do not forget about your business logo, and have as many t-shirts printed as you possibly can. Then hand them out as giveaways or as contest prizes and your business will be promoted anywhere your customers would wear your t-shirts.

How to Help Yourself If you Are Depressed
Depressive disorders make one feel exhausted, worthless, helpless, and hopeless. Such negative thoughts and feelings make some people feel like giving up. It is important to realize that these negative views are part of the depression and typically do not accurately reflect the actual circumstances. Negative thinking fades as treatment begins to take effect. In the meantime:
* Set realistic goals in light of the depression and assume a reasonable amount of responsibility.
* Break large tasks into small ones, set some priorities, and do what you can as you can.
* Try to be with other people and to confide in someone; it is usually better than being alone and secretive.
* Participate in activities that may make you feel better.
* Mild exercise, going to a movie, a ballgame, or participating in religious, social, or other activities may help.
* Expect your mood to improve gradually, not immediately. Feeling better takes time.
* It is advisable to postpone important decisions until the depression has lifted. Before deciding to make a significant transition-change jobs, get married or divorced-discuss it with others who know you well and have a more objective view of your situation.
* People rarely "snap out of" a depression. But they can feel a little better day-by-day.
* Remember, positive thinking will replace the negative thinking that is part of the depression and will disappear as your depression responds to treatment.
* Let your family and friends help you.
