American actress Estelle Getty dead at age 84 from advance stages of dementia July 22, 2008, at approximately 5:30 a.m. PDT, Getty died in her Hollywood Boulevard home in Los Angeles from natural causes (according to her manager), three days before her 85th birthday.
Each of Getty's former Golden Girls co-stars did not attend Getty's funeral, but did reflect upon her death: Rue McClanahan told the Associated Press, "Don't feel sad about her passing. ."She will always be with us in her crowning achievement, Sophia." Bea Arthur said in a statement, "Our mother-daughter relationship was one of the greatest comic duos ever, and I will miss her." Betty White remarked, "The only comfort at this moment is that although Estelle has moved on, Sophia will always be with us.
She was nominated eight times for the emmy ward and she won it twice.
Every day, we wake up with a choice. We can choose to embrace the day as a new opportunity to learn, grow, and make a positive impact on the world, or we can let fear, doubt, and negativity hold us back. It's easy to get caught up in the challenges and obstacles we face, but it's important to remember that these challenges are what shape us into who we are. Each obstacle is a chance to learn something new, to become stronger, more resilient, and more capable than we were before. But we don't hav

CARJACKING, watch out for the note on winshield
WARNING: CARJACKING It could happen in your neighborhood. BEWARE………. Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend had told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the car. Then we received this email yesterday: '**WARNING FROM POLICE*** **BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE-- NEW WAY TO** **DO CARJACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)'*** Heads up everyone! You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift intoReverse. When you look into the rear view mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speedoff in your car. And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car. So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys.Your home and your whole identity are now compromised! **BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.*** If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will tell all your friends and family, especially to women.

Men are 2.5 times more likely to die in accident
Men are 2.5 times more likely to die from an accident than are women. In the United States, 35,000 men die every year as the result of an accident. Between the ages of 1 and 44 years old, accidents are the biggest cause of death. In the 15 to 24 age group, there are over 4 men die for every woman that dies from an accident. But why do men have more accidents than women and also die from them? Much of it has to do with men involving themselves in riskier behavior than women, and here's why.1. Alcohol - This is a big contributor to accidental deaths in men. Men binge drink much more than women do, so they're much more likely to get drunk and then do stupid things. 43% of pedestrians killed in the US every year are men who are drunk.
Apparently, when they have a few beers, looking both ways before they cross the street is the last thing they think of.2. Testosterone - Men have a lot of it and it's testosterone that makes men think things like "I can drive really fast and beat that other car to the stop sign", "Bungee jumping with a homemade bungee cord would be so awesome", or "Skateboarding down that big mountain drunk sounds cool!" As soon as men let their testosterone get the better of them, bad things usually happen.3. The Peacock Syndrome - Men often have to compete for women's attention and, for some bizarre reason, they think women like men who do dangerous things. Really, most women look at them and think "What's wrong with him?" but men don't get that. So, just like the male peacock with the flashy feathers cavorting around to get attention, they get out their motorbikes and do wheelies. At 90 miles an hour. Without a helmet. 4.Men are Raised To Take Risks - Little girls are often told, "Be careful, you might get hurt", but little boys are usually allowed to do what they want. They're encouraged by parents and family members to be adventurous and try things - risk-taking builds character. So, by the time they're 25 years old, they're still thinking about how much fun it would be to skateboard down the street while being pulled by a car. Women, on the other hand, are thinking how much that will hurt when they hit a pole.

State to help ease adjustable-rate mortgage burden
Homeowners struggling to make payments on adjustable-rate mortgages could get a little extra help from the state under legislation signed into law Friday.
The measure, which expands a homeowner-assistance program, would help those seeking to refinance adjustable-rate mortgages by guaranteeing lenders that the state would cover 10 percent of the loan if a home is foreclosed upon.
Scott Burnham, a spokesman for Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias, said the state has set aside $5.8 million for the program.
"This allows more people to qualify for refinancing and helps prevent foreclosure by helping borrowers get non-predatory loans," Burnham said.
The new law would also allow homeowners to apply for help before they default on a loan, he said. That is a step in the right direction.

Through others eyes
Have you ever imagined what you looked like through others eyes? How do they see you? The way you really are, or as you are thought to be? Surely no one would judge me simply on outer appearance? That's like judging a book simply by the cover. How quickly I forget, we are human and prone to make mistakes. Or is their someone who can cast the first stone?
I asked myself a question, which I was not sure theire was an answer. If I glanced at a person for 3 seconds or more could I know who that person was? I mean their physical appearance is attractive, but could I see what was really in their heart? I don't know, in reallity it would probably be more of an assumption, and we all knows what happens when we assume, right?
I finally figured out what I look in others eyes, so I could sum it up in just a few words. I am kind, loving, considerate, one of a kind, arrogant, handsome, determined, rational, and loving. So the reason I know how I look in others eyes, is because my mirror don't lie!!!
