Borrow your home post it here, hope you do not mind. Thanks in advance for your kindness. If you could translated into Chinese,it would be much appreciated.
Bottled
water in your car is
very
dangerous.
This is how Sheryl Crow
got breast cancer. She was on the Ellen show and said this same exact thing. This has been
identified as the most common cause of the high levels in breast cancer.
The Doctor told her: women should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car. He said that the heat and the plastic of the bottle have certain chemicals that can lead to breast cancer . So please be careful and do not drink bottled water that has been left in a car, and, pass this on to all the women in your life.
This information is the
kind we need to know and be aware of, that just might save us! The heat causes toxins from the plastic to leak into the water and they have found these toxins in breast tissue.
Use a stainless steel canteen or a glass bottle when you can!
LET EVERYONE WHO HAS A WIFE /GIRLFRIEND / DAUGHTER KNOW
PLEASE.

A dioxin chemical causes cancer, especially breast cancer.
Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't
freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.
Recently, Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital ,was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.
He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers...This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxins into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body... Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food.. You get the same results, only without the dioxin.
So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.
Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's
just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.
He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food
restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons...Also, he
pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as
dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Excellent – a great love story.
After a great party yesterday, now we start a new chapter: Love + Hope = Life.
It is a love story finally.
Everyone feel it personally.
Every one of us lives in different situations.
We must never lose infinite hope.
Listen to the small voice in your heart.
Consider how to make hope into a reality.

情人節晚餐：
Love Bites: A Valentine's Dinner
NPR.org, February 11, 2009 · Is there really a "food of love"? Music has been called that. Power, said Henry Kissinger, is the ultimate aphrodisiac. Wealth, while we're being honest, has stirred the loins since long before diamonds became a girl's best friend. In our house, the ultimate aphrodisiac — a rare one — is getting a babysitter.
Let's propose, however, that the food of love is actually food.
Foodstuffs that actually increase sexual desire are limited to a debatable few, and you wouldn't necessarily want to eat them. Apart from maybe yohimbe (a West African evergreen) and Spanish fly (a toxic beetle) — neither of which would succeed on a plate — the only actual aphrodisiacs come in pill form. (Note: Viagra will keep roses from wilting. True fact.) Pay no attention to the erotomaniac bloggers who swear by the zinc in oysters and the capsaicin in chili peppers. Forget the rhino horns.
Still, every year about this time, we spend ourselves silly on caviar, champagne and chocolate; oysters, lobsters and truffles. Despite having zero secret sex-crazed chemical power, they work. Aphrodisiacs are a lie — but a lie that has its cake and eats it, too.
Edible aphrodisiacs may do nothing for the body, but they sure do work on the mind. After all, it's said the brain is the biggest sex organ.
Curvaceous, smooth-skinned pears? Firm, scented bananas? Ripe figs dripping with sweet juice? Under the right circumstances, it doesn't take more than a well-endowed fruit basket to awaken the coiled snake of lust.
But let's cast how and why aside for the moment and just accept that so-called aphrodisiac foods do what they're supposed to do. A realm of suggestive ingredients, historically guaranteed to drive humans to the very limits of need, hovers within reach.
I have a couple of suggestions to help narrow the options.
First, don't choose anything that demands conversation-stopping skill to disassemble. Whole lobsters — along with that unrivaled buzz kill, the lobster bib — are out. The most unintentionally unromantic dinner I've ever had starred a 5-inch-thick Chateaubriand steak, to "share." One plate, two sharp knives? Bad idea. My memory of that meal, and whoever it was I shared it with, has been reduced to a haze of speed and strategy.
Second, if at all possible, make most of it ahead of time. Because while we may question whether any given food really is an aphrodisiac, I can promise you that sweating over the stove for two hours in a soiled apron definitely is not.
With this in mind, I offer some options drawn from a promiscuous multitude.
Asparagus. Early botanists swore by the "doctrine of signatures," the idea that useful plants looked like the body parts they were purported to enhance. Seducers then and now have embraced the unapologetically phallic asparagus, particularly since the U.S. Vegetarian Society reportedly recommended eating it for three days "for the most powerful effect." Best of all, there's no need to go crazy preparing it. Steam gently and serve bare, or with a thin negligee of first-rate olive oil.
Morel risotto cake. Morel mushrooms, with their spongy, tapered caps, enjoy the same notoriety as asparagus, for much the same reason. You could just make a bed of risotto for asparagus and fish. But if you make the risotto a day ahead and chill a couple of palm-sized rounds, all you have to do is sear them on the day, which leaves you with a pair of dangerously idle hands.
Roasted monkfish. Yes, monkfish. The ugliest delicacy in the sea is also called "poor man's lobster." Its thick, succulent "loins" (actually tail meat) have a buttery sweetness that delivers all the luxe of the lobster with a fraction of the fuss. You do have to remove the loin's pearly membrane before cooking it, which may make you blush.
Fresh fig tart. If this meal seems excessively male oriented, fear not. For its sweetness, its shape, its juiciness, its wanton, seed-strewn advertisement of the reproductive motive, the fig has been a totem of female sexuality for centuries. In concentric cross section, it makes a tantalizing, glistening mosaic of a tart. Whether you will be able to stop looking at it — and what you will do when you stop — are open questions: Does he? Doesn't he? Will she? Won't she?
However, as surely as the ripened, reddened mango plunges from the tree, likelihood eventually tumbles into certainty. The engines of thought break free from the harness of protocol: The dishes are forgotten, the table abandoned.
If you're the kind of person who has to have a love potion, there's always this medieval recipe: dried, powdered stag penis mixed with black pepper in a dose of Madeira.
If you prefer culinary sorcery to the conventional sort, enjoy a more delectable table for two — fired by the suspicion that someone has devoted restless nights planning to drive you mad with desire. Now that — and maybe a fruit basket — ought to leave anyone weak at the knees.

謝了。
罷了有先天優勢、裘老大有理論優勢，你再蠻幹也不行。
泉兒智慧，給你出個主意。你看裘老大的愛情學博士論文已經進入第二章了，那你是不是也考慮考慮寫個經濟學的? 不過思路要創新，先從國際的寫起，最後寫到自己。別看經濟學現在是冬天，開春就熱門了。
常言道：家有黃金萬兩，任風兒吹起海浪，看MM們愛你那個沒商量，風兒啊瞪眼心涼，無奈忙著天天記賬，夜夜忙到天亮。
——也不知道風兒會不會怪罪俺醒的太早。
人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。俺看你是一宿沒睡吧？
"罷了兄為情人節勇於獻身的精神要特別表揚！這是一種什麽精神？這是一種國際主義精神！代表的是一種雄起的美男子的精神，也就是見光不死的精神，電死的都是盯著屏幕看的人。"
既然你那麽讚賞這種大無畏的精神，就要拿出點實際行動來，讓全世界人民看看你的真誠。別讓大家等太久哈，時間94生命，別浪費我們美好的青春。
"也不知道風兒會不會怪罪俺醒的太早。"
你老醒得早醒得晚跟風兒18杠子也打不著。 你得去問你們家河兒。
看完罷了全家，俺也說點體會：俺就一輩子安心當土匪好了。不當土匪，跟罷了搶MM的事一點沒戲。當然，這要征求姑奶奶們的意見。
——如果你是山花，美就是驕陽，催你如熾般地怒放；
如果你是白帆，美就是海風，鼓舞你不懈地前航。
如果美是雨水，你就是山溪，載清泉盈流；
如果美是火苗，你就是燃炬，讓烈焰更旺。
依俺看，晨醉就是美的化身。詩美人更美。
——我們大家都愛你！衷心祝你情人節快樂！
歡迎思路花雨，我們大家也愛你！——俺代表罷了兄致歡迎詞，他這幾天太忙，正忙著處理郵件。郵箱都打爆好幾個了。
看完罷了全家，俺也說點體會：俺就一輩子安心做長工，不僅自己做，子子孫孫都要做。當然，這要征求無敵的意見。
"罷了年輕時的照片上的氣質和陳坤有些象的說。兩人都是濃眉大眼，卻很有一份陰柔之氣。一看就是好孩子的樣子。"
陳坤啊？那個娘娘腔？咱們的標準是kevin costner型的。
ZT: 陳坤太過陰柔， 和罷了兄沒什麽可比性。另外罷了兄比他不知陽光， 大氣多少。
--氣質上有些象，又不是說一模一樣。同意“罷了兄比他不知陽光， 大氣多少。”的說法。
嘿！長工和沙少爺哪裏去了？不會是重色輕友吧。
回複小河：是純種。哈哈哈。。。
"許文強"
比較同意晴兒的。
"罷了年輕時的照片上的氣質和陳坤有些象的說。兩人都是濃眉大眼，卻很有一份陰柔之氣"
不會吧!
陳坤太過陰柔， 和罷了兄沒什麽可比性。另外罷了兄比他不知陽光， 大氣多少。
哈陳坤的妹妹對不起了。 其實我也挺喜歡陳坤的戲， 比如《理發師》。
罷了兄一家都是美人兒, 罷了兄果然有許文強的風采. 有些好奇, 你祖上是不是混血兒啊?
"示範了好男人測驗中的規定動作，望來俺博的男人多多練習"
你確定你今天沒喝多？
"罷了，既然你說過你貼過近照，能不能再貼一次給大家看看？"
你還需要貼照片啊？ 你一天到晚的還沒看煩嗎？
是嗎？照片和我想像的年輕時的罷了很相近的說。照片看起來就是心地善良，憐香惜玉，詩情畫意的。罷了，既然你說過你貼過近照，能不能再貼一次給大家看看？
這個青少年和咱們心目中的那位飽經滄桑，滿腹經綸的罷了哥南轅北轍。 難怪人們說見光s呢。太令人失望了。 我們要看係著花圍裙做芹菜豆幹肉絲的罷了哥。把這小p孩送高中念書去。
Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart. - Washington Irving
－－灰常灰常喜歡這句話。謝謝分享。搞半天你懂英文啊，被你忽悠了。：）
博愛專情好。知錯就改也好。如果一次錯都不犯那更是完美。人無完人吧。聽起來你妻子還可能知道你犯錯的事。有天看到一篇文章說有時候紅（藍）杏出牆還更能鞏固夫妻關係。有時候夫妻做久了，皮了，忘了誰其實都離不開誰這回事了，如果這時有一方出出牆反而提醒了家裏那個人對自己的重要。
牆裏的人聽好了，不是鼓勵出牆啊。隻是在重複一專業人士調查結果而已。
想聽追老婆那會兒的故事。
想聽被情人追那會兒的故事。：）
做了三個小時的家務，得歇一會兒去了。回見！
泉水MM， 一看到“紅酒”， 我腦子裏就跳出“一醉方休”。 但緊接著就看到“靜靜地品嚐，靜靜地欣賞” :)
有浪漫的情詩、鮮紅的玫瑰、美妙的音樂、熱烈的情歌、甜蜜的吻、心型的蛋糕、櫻桃酒心巧克力、盛開的迎春花，還有《愛的誓言》。
看看還需要什麽？準備好了，俺開瓶了啊，俺今天新買的波爾多紅酒。大家可以靜靜地品嚐，靜靜地欣賞。
罷了＝活脫脫寶哥哥

我堅信
愛可以傳遞與蔓延
愛可以連接世界任何一端
愛可以讓你感受到我的關懷
愛可讓你聽見彼此靈魂的呼喚
愛可以讓生活留下少一些遺憾
愛可以化孤單寂寞為感動溫暖
愛可以讓一切的一切成為永遠
讓我們伸出愛的手，緊握住那一端quinster的手,將我們身上所有愛的溫暖與關懷，傳遞給他。quinster，我們的好兄弟，我們會堅定地站在你的身旁，與你一起去麵對生命中所有的未知與挑戰。這就是2009年情人節，我們《愛的誓言》！！！
罷了兄， 這可是份兒大禮啊！ 以後街上遇到， 就不會錯過啦 ：）
一家子全漂亮 （or 帥）， 站在那裏， 那裏發光 ：）
大家叫你QQ，我也跟著這麽叫，並不知其所以然，沒叫錯吧？
我是文學城的新客，今日看了你的好多篇帖子。你的精美的照片，精煉的文字，天才的美感和堅強的精神讓我歎為觀止！你這一帖中的幾句詩也寫得太好了！借你的格式，我也寫幾句我看了你的作品後的感覺，不怕見笑:
如果你是山花，美就是驕陽，催你如熾般地怒放；
如果你是白帆，美就是海風，鼓舞你不懈地前航。
如果美是雨水，你就是山溪，載清泉盈流；
如果美是火苗，你就是燃炬，讓烈焰更旺。
祝你一切安好！
quinster,我們大家都愛你！衷心祝你情人節快樂！
算是批準小河妹妹的申請，也算是送給大家情人節的一份禮物，我把我和太太年輕時的照片還有孩子們的照片放在我博克檔案裏，這些照片我以前都放過，我們的近照也放過，後來拿掉了。現在再次拿出來獻獻醜。大家不要笑啊，我怕難為情。哈哈哈哈。。。嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎。。。

也許人生於你
總有或近或遠的彷徨
請不要因為悲傷
就以為前途黯淡無光
也許命運於你
總有或深或淺的迷惘
請不要因為創傷
就放棄心中的夢想
讓一切彷徨都來吧
風雲再強
也遮不住陽光萬丈
因為有愛就愛希望
讓一切迷惘都來吧
風雪再強
也擋不住梅花綻放
因為有愛就有希望
