Remote Area Medical

This organization was profiled on a segment of 60 Minutes last night.

Incredible story- it's a group of medical people that go into remote areas on their weekends and provide people who wouldn't otherwise get any medical attention with medical, dental, and vision care - for free.

They started out going into the amazon in South America doing this- but now 60% or so of their work is in the U.S.! In other words, they are treating the U.S. as a third-world country based on the number of people with no medical benefits or under-insured as they stated (47,000,000).

On this particular weekend they had went to Knoxville - word got out they were coming and people drove great distances and waited for 7 hours in the parking lot just to get a number to be seen.

For those who can remember it, the guy who heads it - Stan Brock -used to appear on Wild Kingdom. Until recently he lived in a warehouse they use and took showers with a hose in the court yard.

Incredible story- here's a link to the organizations site:

Letter from the Founder:
Letter From The Founder
A half century or more ago, I was living in a part of the upper Amazon basin where health care was a 26-day march away on foot. I survived malaria, dengue fever, numerous wild animal attacks and various encounters with Longhorns and mustangs without the help of a doctor. Others were not so lucky and I buried a number of them. It occurred to me that designing an all-volunteer health and veterinary care program for such desolate places might make life easier for a whole lot of people. It took a few years to work out the concept, but in 1985, Remote Area Medical® was born. We have been called RAM ever since and in quite a few parts of the world, the appearance of a RAM Team means an opportunity for poor folks to get some real treatment free of charge from real doctors and veterinarians. But real doctors can’t do it without real help from nurses, technicians and all sorts of support people. In fact, over 26,000 of you have temporarily left your comfortable homes, jobs and families behind and signed up as RAM volunteers and about 300,000 patients are very glad you did.

So, if you are a physician, dentist, ophthalmologist, optometrist, veterinarian or any one of those support people these specialists cannot function properly without, please realize how important you are to the lives of thousands of people in desperate need of your help.

Browse through our web site and see where your skills might fit in. Then give us a call or signal us via e-mail. Yes, we fly airplanes that are probably older than you are and sometimes we parachute out of them. And, although you should glance at our WARNING page, don’t be deterred. Most of our work is done with two feet on solid ground and you don’t have to be an athlete to participate. You just need to be willing and compassionate.

I look forward to seeing you.

Stan Brock

Florida Old Timer's Bar

Four old retired guys are walking down a street in Ft Myers, Florida . They turned a corner and see a sign that says, ' Old Timers Bar - all drinks 10 cents.'   They look at each other, then go in, thinking this is too good to be true.   The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, 'Come on in and let me pour one for you! What'll it be, Gentlemen?'   

There seemed to be a fully-stocked bar, so each of the men ask for a martini. In short order, the bartender serves up four iced martinis... Shaken, not stirred, and says, 'That'll be 10 cents each, please.'   The four men stare at the bartender for a moment, then look at each other...

They can't believe their good luck. They pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis, and order another round.   Again, four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying 'That's 40 cents, please'   They pay the 40 cents, but their curiosity is more than they can stand.

They have e ach had two martinis, and so far they've spent less than a dollar. Finally one of the men says, 'How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime apiece?'   'I'm a retired tailor from Boston ,' the bartender said, 'and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery for $25 million and decided to open this place. Every drink costs a dime - wine, liquor, beer, it's all the same.'   

Wow!!!! That's quite a story,' says one o f the men. The four of them sipped at their martinis and couldn't help but notice three other guys at the end of the bar who didn't have drinks in front of them, and hadn't ordered anything the whole time they were there.

One man gestures at the three at the end of the bar without drinks and asks the bartender, 'What's with them?'   The bartender says, 'Oh, they're retired teachers. They're waiting for happy hour when drinks are half price.'

Obama Staffers and Che Guevera

"In 1963, John F. Kennedy was murdered in Texas by a fervent
admirer of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. In 2008, a large Cuban flag
emblazoned with the image of Che Guevara, Castro's brutal henchman, is
prominently displayed in a Barack Obama campaign volunteer
office (http://PatriotPost.US/news/obamas_campaign_office.asp) in
Houston. Obama has been widely compared to JFK, most notably by the late
president's brother and daughter. President Kennedy, a stalwart anticommunist, despised Castro and his gang of totalitarian thugs. But when word broke last week that Obama's supporters in Houston work under a banner glorifying Che, the campaign's reaction was to brush it off as an issue involving volunteers,not the official campaign. After two days of controversy, the campaign issued a statement calling the flag 'inappropriate' and saying its display 'does notreflect Senator Obama's views.' Would JFK have reacted so mildly?...

That this sadistic thug's face also adorns the office of a U.S. presidential
candidate's supporters is appalling and disgraceful. That the candidate
couldn't bring himself to say so is even worse." ---Jeff
Jacoby (http://PatriotPost.US/opinion/entrylist.asp?source_id=52)

Book: The Moses Code

From One spirit:

The Moses code

by James F. Twyman

The Moses Code was first used 3,500 years ago to create great miracles, but then it was hidden away. Now, James Twyman reveals the Code for the first time, showing how you can create miracles in your life.

At the heart of the Code is the Law of Attraction. You may think that this Law is about “getting” things, but using the power of the Moses Code depends more on what you're willing to “give.” You have the power to create miracles in your life…and you have the ability to use that power for more than just attracting money, a better car or the perfect relationship.

We're here to use the power of Divinity itself to create a world of compassion and peace. That's the task that lies before us, and The Moses Code points the way.

Hillary and the Pope

                     The Pope and Hillary Rodham Clinton are on the same stage in front of
a huge crowd.

The senator and His Holiness, however, have seen it all before. To
make it a little more interesting, the senator says to the Pope,
"Did You know that with just one little wave of my hand I can make
every Democrat in the crowd go wild?"

He doubts it, so she shows him. Sure enough, the wave elicits rapture
and cheering from every democrat in the crowd. Gradually, the
cheering subsides.

The Pope, not wanting to be out done by such a level of arrogance,
considers what he could do.

"That was impressive, the Pope says, "But did you know that with just
one little wave of MY hand I can make EVERY person in the crowd go
crazy with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display like that of
your subjects, but will go deep into their hearts, and they will
forever speak of this day and rejoice."

The senator seriously doubts this, and says so. "One little wave of
your hand and all people will rejoice forever? Show me."

So the Pope slapped her.
