Read this and save a life - YOUR OWN

From a surgical nurse and certified CPR teacher:

Please pause for 2 minutes and read this:

1. Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.

2. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.

3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.

4. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far.

5. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

6. HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

7. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

8. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

9. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

10. A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail kindly sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we’ll save at least one life.

11. Rather than sending jokes, please... contribute by forwarding this mail which can save a person’s life.

12. If this message comes around you... more than once… please don’t get irritated... You should instead, be happy that you have many friends who care about you & keeps reminding you how to deal with a Heart attack.

please take the time and boost this post by reposting it and sending it to those you love because we all need to understand how to quickly deal with heart attacks

Mods are asleep post forbidden tits

talk about yemen. talk about the 63,000 yemeni children that died of preventable causes. talk about how the UN dubbed it “ the world’s largest humanitarian crisis ”. talk about US’ major role in backing Saudi Arabia’s bombing. talk! talk! talk! this needs to get the deserved and much needed attention.

Just in case you forget this exists.

It exists.

Reblog the writers’ fortune cookie for luck!

Then just don’t say it and be different.  It’s not a requirement. 

It’s actually really fucking weird that we were expected to stand up every day and pledge our allegiance to a flag as kids.

I’ve been trying to find this for when i was trying to carry a water bottle while using a walker

Reform as well.  At the Kesher services at the senior living facility my grandma lives in, they use tea lights as well.  The woman who usually lights them always asks for a match first, though (she never gets one).  

I know this has been answered for chanukah, but can electric candles replace real candles for shabbat in the case that real candles are not permitted in your living space? (e.g. an apartment or other leased residence)

Mod here. Anon hasn’t restricted this question to any particular FOR, but respondents should give a FOR relevant to their response (e.g. halachic, communal). It may also be helpful to provide reasoning and/or sources since halachic (and spiritual) understandings of electric lights vary even within some communities.

Much thanks! (Todah rabah!)  !תּוֹדָה רַבָּה  

They still could carry many illnesses and it could kill people in poorer communities

If mosquitoes safely sucked fat instead of blood from your body, they would probably be one of the most cherished and exploited insects on the planet
