DRINK WATER--NO HEART ATTACK

(Thank you Alex Cantu & "HEALTH DIGEST")

Pass this on :
If each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved!

I use to get upset about getting up so much during the night to pee. After reading this I'm glad I do. Between drinking lots of H2O at the gym & during the day & night I just guessed it was JUST the amount of my intake; however, there's a more scientific reason :

Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell).
When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier.

Answer from a Cardiac Doctor:

drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:

2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack

I REPEAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :

I knew you needed your minimum water intake to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me. Drinking water is great but there are crucial times to drink water...

Very important. from A Cardiac Specialist:

ALSO:
Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon.

When in doubt take 2---that's right 2 aspirins then:
Afterwards: - Call 911.
Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.- Say "heart attack!"
Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins.
Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and ...DO NOT LIE DOWN!

RELAX...

1. ADAM BRAUN......2."THE NORMAL HEART"

The handsome & brilliant Adam Braun is inspiring.
He was on "KATIE" last week and set forth a message of hope and selflessness from which we can all learn.
Instead of taking the easy path-which his pedigree could have allowed-he took the one less traveled.

(His brother is Scott Samuel "Scooter" Braun. He is an American talent manager and businessman. He owns two record labels: School Boy Records^[ and Raymond-Braun Media Group (RBMG).
RBMG is a joint venture with R&B performer Usher.
The most prominent artist Braun represents is Justin Bieber.
For School Boy Records, his represented acts include Psy, Carly Rae Jepsen .)

I only mention this because Scooter has been able to help his brother by using his clients-especially Beiber and Sophia Bush-to help the "PENCILS OF PROMISE" movement.

To date he has been able to open 200 schools & they are growing almost daily.

ROCK ON !

Recently married, Braun has been very public promoting same sex equality as well.

He states:
"Seven weeks ago, on the greatest night of my entire life, I asked the woman I love with every ounce of my being to marry me.

The next morning the gravity of it all began to hit me, and I just couldn’t stop smiling. It seemed like everyone around us wanted to celebrate our love for one another. And as happy as I was, strangely, I found myself thinking about gay rights.

Over the past decade of my life many of those I’ve become closest to have been in love with members of the same sex. Some hid this for years, others came out. I never thought of their sexuality as their most identifying factor. I realized that those who are gay cannot experience what I’d experienced the night before in many parts of our nation. And suddenly, the gay marriage debate became personal..."

ROCK ON AGAIN & THANK YOU ADAM !

HBO movie "THE NORMAL HEART" (2014)

Mark Ruffalo was brilliant !!! He was fearless in his acting & took chances few would. Yes, it made me relive unwanted memories and I even accepted a lot of its poetic license; the message was clear, the screenplay was average. At one point it seemed every gay Broadway actor made an appearance. Julia Roberts was great too. Overall, it was a stellar cast.
If Michael Douglas got all those accolades for the campy "Behind the Candelabra", Ruffalo better get as many, if not more.

Because I was around at the beginning of this pandemic disease it really hit home but I feel many people will find it to be another "disease of the week TV movie".
After years of this script/play being passed around Hollywood (even Barbra Streisand wanted to do it) I was hoping for something meatier & more substantial.

"And the Band Played On" was directed by Roger Spottiswoode

In other words, a more universal appeal. Obviously the LGBTQ community will clearly latch on to all the events, especially if you were around in the 1980s gay scene.

Like "Philadelphia", (which I hated), I'm glad this was made & shown on HBO where more people in the general public will get to see it, not only the LGBTQ community, but I wish someone else would have constructed it. Where "Philadelphia" mostly ignored the social support system Tom Hank's character has, in "The Normal Heart" they should have focused-and dramatized more- how the straight world of politicians/media, etc. wasn't doing enough. The frivolous white party in Fire Island lent little to what could have been an opportunity to showcase the numerous fund raisers other parties had; and continue to have. Also, why doesn't the film end with Kramer/Weeks/Ruffalo starting ACT-UP instead of him basically with his tail between his legs in a hospital room. Murphy could have gotten some tips from Roger Spottiswoode in " And the Band Played On" (1993).

Ron Howard who possesses a better way of telling a human interest story would have been a better candidate than Ryan Murphy as well. Gus Van Sant who so beautifully directed "MILK" would have made "The Normal Heart" have more heart too.

SHOPLIFTING WITH A DEAD BABY IN BAG--WTF?

Suspected teenage shoplifter caught with dead baby pleads not guilty in court

( NOT ONLY A HEARTLESS BITCH BUT STUPID ON TOP OF IT--WTF?)

Tiona Rodriguez, teen mom found with dead baby as she was supposedly shoplifting in a Victoria's Secret, appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court with her alleged partner in crime, Francis Estevez, but only over the theft — 'I don’t want to ignore the elephant in the room, but we are only arraigning the shoplifts,' said Assistant District Attorney Robert Hettleman

(JUDGE, CAN'T YOU MAKE AN EXCEPTION HERE--HEEELLLOOO!!!!)

Teen mom Tiona Rodriguez maintained her stoic facade Saturday during a brief hearing on charges that she shoplifted a $44.50 pair of skinny jeans from Victoria’s Secret.

Barely mentioned at the appearance was the corpse of her newborn son, discovered Thursday by stunned store security guards searching her bags for stolen merchandise.

Rodriguez pleaded not guilty to the shoplifting charges.

Hettleman did reference the gruesome discovery of the dead 8 1/2-pound baby boy inside Rodriguez’s canvas bag as the two friends exited the flagship Victoria’s Secret store in Herald Square.

Cops said Rodriguez lied to police, claiming that she was six months pregnant when she suffered a miscarriage Wednesday. An autopsy two days later determined the boy was born alive — and nearly full term at eight months. Officials said the autopsy was inconclusive as to how the baby died.
