YOU JUST MIGHT SAVE A LIFE.

My reader KENNY LIM H K sent this and encouraged me to post it and spread the word.
I agree.

If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.
Seriously..

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening

Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally . He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)(i.e. It is sunny out today.)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.

A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this POSTING sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

I have done my part. Will you?

HOME ALONE IN A SHOP

Say for some reasons, you find yourself 'home alone' not in your own home
but in a shop working alone. Means that you have no assistance whatsoever
manning your business premises even if you have to answer a nature call or
going for your lunch break.

In normal circumstances and in most shopping complexes, the complex
management won't allowed shopkeepers to pull down their shutters during
business hours come what may, so in this kinda scenario what do you do?

Well, here I have a few options to offer.

Get something heavy to block your door/ main entrance

Or find some big posters/ paintings to do the blockage

Or putting plastic chains around the entrance

You can considered you problem solved as long as people understand that you
are not in to serve.

And perhaps you might like to consider this idea too

like this oso can

A partially hidden mannequin acting like scarecrow to jaga your shop or to
shoo away would be shoplifters/thieves.

Anyway, don't ever leave your shop wide-opened without any staff or security
then it's like an open invite to those shoplifters.

A GOOD TAGLINE?

I'm always passionate with slogans and taglines that appeared everywhere-
on the buses, trains, walls and in all mediums of the media. Most often than
not, they are very creative and humorous but of course sometimes these
so called slogans are damn monotonous and kinda childish.

Here, I find one tagline a little bit offbeat yet interesting, if you know what
I mean.

Should be interesting to check it out this particular budget hotel what it
really mean with a tagline that says:
WHERE HOSPITALITY MEETS THE SHEETS.

But I do comprehend if their Hospitality meets the shit!
Arrrrrg. (Puke)

A PERFECT MODEL

The interesting thing or the attraction about my retail shop is that you or
anyone for that matter can walk into my shop and have some fun with
synthetic wigs on display.


I mean that you can try putting on a wig you fancy, snap your new-look
with a camera or using mobile-camera. Just get the kick out of it and the
beautiful part is that I don't charge you anything! Hey, it's free!
Isn't that great?

But sometimes, some customers take our generosity a little bit too far.....
like this lady who almost turned my shop into a modelling photo studio!

She really loves the 1st wig that prompted her to put on this 2nd wig.


With the 3rd wig on, she is getting more brazen and playful

Now wearing a pair of sooo fancy sun glasses

Posing yet with another fancy specs

Another hair piece another person

This lady looks sexy, isn't she?

So what you think? Can I become a top notch model?
If yes, good for me.
If no....

how about my arse? LOL

BUSINESS GETTING FROM BAD TO WORSE

Shit should be the appropriate word to describe today retail business status
especially in the Klang Valley. Everywhere I go and meet those retailers, they
will simply tell you that currently the retailing business is definitely going
downhill.
My own small business is down by least 40-50% in sales income for the
month of May. What is happening and why? Every damn thing is on the rise,
petrol, electricity bills, rentals, foodstuffs except your pay or your sales income.
What happened to the purchasing power of the ordinary customers? They all
seemed gone, nowadays they are more cautious with their spending and their
money in their wallets. Customers are getting fewer and fewer. Where the
heck are the regular customers who patronise your shop twice or 3 times
a week? They all seemed disappear into thin air!
Foreign visitors are definitely dwindling in contrast to the Tourism Ministry
claim that visitors to the country is increasing by the day.

I remember that this downturn in business happened in Malaysia during
Slumberjack premiership then it was okay when Najib took over as PM but
a year later we are back to square one- the retail business is suffering and
many outlets have closed shops prompting one dude (a businessman) to
say " Bring back Mahathir!" at least we were happy and were making money
in our business then but not at this point in time where a lot of business are
feeling the downturn heat.

If the sales trend will to keep going down for the next a few months and
not surprisingly, I too have to find another alternative of putting food on
the dinner table. I'm contemplating of becoming a cab driver. Serious.
