Avoid eating chicken wings frequently - ladies, especially; a true story... A friend of mine recently had a growth in her womb and she underwent an operation to remove the cyst. The cyst removed was filled with a dark colored blood. She thought that she would be recovered after the surgery but she was terribly wrong. A relapse occurred just a few months later. Distressed , she rushed down to her gynecologist for a consultation. During her consultation, her doctor asked her a question that puzzled her. He ask if she was a frequent consumer of chicken wings and she replied yes wondering as to how, he knew of her eating habits. You see, the truth is in this modern day and age; chickens are injected with steroids to accelerate their growth so that the needs of this society can be met. This need is none other than the need for food. Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually given the shot at the neck or the wings. Therefore, it is in these places that the highest concentration

Dear Kabayans, Maybe many of you have read the article at XPress ( http://www.xpress4me.com/articles/09/04/01/20012707.html ) regarding the 137 Filipino victims from the 2 recruitment agencies who apparently hired them as drivers for RTA. It is with great sadness that these Filipinos have only dreamt of greener pasture for their family and they have been victimized. We are writing on behalf of them and reaching out to all Filipinos who may be able to extend help to our fellow kabayan's who are in need. They are currently staying at a flat in Ajman near a dumpsite, where they collect tin cans from garbage which they sell in order for them to survive the day. We therefore seek for your help by giving them food, water or medicines as this would assist them to continue to fight and survive the painful ordeal they are experiencing. We would be driving in Ajman on Saturday, 11th April 2009 at 9am, to give whatever donations we have collected. For those who want to join, you may coordinat
