Welcome to Baba-Mail .Joke: The Wife and Her Secret. |
An old man and his wife had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other, except that the little old woman had a locked chest on top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the chest, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.
In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the chest and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the chest. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money that came out to about $95,000.
He asked her about the contents.
She replied: 'When we were to be married, my grandmother told me the secret of
a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you,
I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.'
The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were
in the chest. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and
loving. He almost burst with happiness.
'Honey,' he said. 'That explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did
it come from?'
'Oh!' she said. 'That's the money I made from selling the other dolls.'

Welcome to Baba-Mail .Artist Octavio Ocampo: The Skilled Master of Illusions. |
|
Octavio Ocampo is one of Mexico's most prolific surreal artists who, in my opinion, creates paintings that greatly stand out from other surreal works of art. His skills, probably inspired by his artistic family, were initially expressed through papier-mache figures and murals. Eventually, his art developed into his well-known intricate, "metamorphic-style" paintings. What is so striking and unique about his paintings is the illustrative detail they contain - it is practically up to the viewer's own curiosity to interpret them, which is a lot harder than it sounds. Some contain optical illusions, while others are made up of various tiny images, that can easily play tricks on your eyes. Enjoy this collection of the best works by Ocampo, and expect a visual surprise with each one! See more of this artist's work here. |

Welcome to Baba-Mail .Sometimes, It's Probably Better To Say Nothing... |
He begins to speak: "If my mom was a cow and my dad was a bull, I'd be a little calf.
If my mom was a hen and my dad was a chicken, I'd be a little chick. If my mom was
a deer and my dad was a buck, I'd be a little deer. If my mom was a duck and my dad
was a goose, I'd be a little duckling."
After listening to the boy rambling on and on in the same manner for a while, the bus
driver begins to get annoyed.
He turns around and says to the boy: “What if your mom was a drunk and your dad was
a bum?”
In an instant, the boy responds: “I’d be a bus driver.”
The bus driver probably should have seen it coming!

DeepEnglish.com.MAN OFFERS $128 MILLION TO TURN HIS GAY DAUGHTER STRAIGHT |
The tradition of mixing money with marriage dates back to the beginning of recorded history. In some cultures, the woman’s family pays the man’s family. And in other cultures, the wealth flows in the other direction. While these traditions might seem anachronistic, they are alive and well in many countries around the world.
In 2000, Bill Clinton was offered 40 goats and 20 cows from a Kenyan journalist in exchange for his daughter’s hand in marriage. Nine years later, Bill’s wife, Hillary Clinton, was visiting the country and finally responded. “My daughter is her own person, very independent, so I will convey this very kind offer.”
In some countries, demands for payments to the bride or groom’s family are so large that some people cannot afford to get married. In Yemen, it is common for dowries to be between $4,000 and $16,000, which is out of reach for many.

Welcome to Baba-Mail .The Evolution of Cadillac. |
Cadillac's slogan "The Standard of the World" was a reference to the high level engineering incorporated in its design. It was not arrogant phrasing either - the design and manufacture of Cadillac's set standards were copied the world over. Most impressively, they created cars where all the precision components were completely interchangeable.
To prove that they could do this, engineers disassembled three Cadillacs and allowed independent judges to jumble up all the parts. They then put all three cars back together and took them on a 500 mile road trip! The engineers won the Dewar Trophy - considered a "Nobel Prize for cars" - for their innovations, and they are credited with laying the foundations for what was to become modern mass car production.
The electric starter motor wasn't the only innovation developed by Cadillac - there were many, many others. They were the first manufacturer to mass produce cars with enclosed cabins, something they had achieved by 1910. The counterbalanced crankshaft was also the brainchild of Cadillac designers, giving the driver and passengers a much smoother ride. Cadillacs were also the first cars to be equipped with electric lights, as well as the high-beams or 'brights' that we all know and recognize today. The company also introduced the curved windshield after world war II.
By 1964, the temperature inside a Cadillac was controlled by a thermostat - ensuring it was the first automobile brand to introduce a form of climate control into the cabin of their vehicles. Cadillacs were also the first cars to come equipped with airbags, a feature that is of course considered standard in today's market.

Welcome to Baba-Mail .12 Life Lessons My Mother Taught Me. |
My mother was the smartest person I've ever known, not because she had a fancy job or a high level of education, but because of her experience and wisdom. When I was a little kid she used to share her thoughts, ideas and life lessons with me. I can honestly say I would not have been the person I am today without her.
No matter where you are or what you’re going through, remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Never expect, assume, or demand anything - just do your best, control what you can, and let go of what you can't.

After four weeks: Sarah looks like a different woman.. |
By SARAH SMITH
PUBLISHED: 22:08 GMT, 30 October 2013 | UPDATED: 02:17 GMT, 31 October 2013
You might think I'd have little in common with a camel, but we do share one useful skill: both of us can go for a very long time without water.
Usually I start my day with a cup of tea, then I might have a glass of water with my lunch and one with dinner - that's about a litre of liquid in 24 hours. It feels like plenty, but apparently it's not nearly enough.
After years of suffering headaches and poor digestion I spoke to a neurologist about my regular headaches and a nutritionist about my poor digestion, and both told me I should be drinking up to three litres of liquid a day for my body to function at its best.
After four weeks: Sarah looks like a different woman
Then, when I read a recent survey suggesting that at least one in five women in the UK consumes less than the recommended daily intake of water, I decided to conduct an experiment. What would happen if I drank the recommended amount every day for a month?
The photograph of me taken the day I started this trial demonstrates perfectly - and rather frighteningly - what a lack of hydration does to a face.
I am 42, but have to admit I look more like 52 in this picture, which is shocking. There are dark shadows under and around my eyes, which make me look exhausted, a profusion of wrinkles and strange reddish blotches, and my skin lacks any lustre. It looks dead.

"Subscribe.Ru" . Советы, чтобы тело не старело. |
Не раскрываем вселенской тайны: рано или поздно кожа начинает стареть. Замечали, что многие девушки, обнаружив на своём лице едва заметные мимические морщины, в панике начинают изучать рынок anti-age-косметики и записываться на консультацию к косметологу? При этом они совершенно забывают, что вместе с лицом начинает стареть и их тело. На разных его участках признаки старения проявляются по-своему: кое-где появляются растяжки, намечается едва заметная пигментация, да и в целом наблюдается снижение тургора кожи.

"Subscribe.Ru" .После инсульта мозга... |
Значит так...Как мы восстановливались после инсульта мозга.
1. Во-первых - аспирин. Кроверазжижающее. Каждый день. По 1 таблетке, размолотый в порошок. Смешать с сахаром и принимать.
И статины. Но...только, если печень здоровая. Абсолютно здоровая. Очень плохие побочные эффекты...У нас - Симвастатин.
2. С утра натощак - если очень высокое давление - 2 СТОЛОВЫХ ложки кунжутного масла смешать с 1 ст.ложкой меда. съесть. Прилечь минут на 20. Сбивает давление сильно, но мягко. Я давала в обед, хотя бы за час до еды.[ more]
В течение дня принимать еще пару раз по 1 ЧАЙНОЙ ложке кунжутного, можно с медом. Это нужно делать каждый день. Таблетки не принимать. Или таблетки, или кунжутное масло. Сейчас наладилось - 120 на 80 постоянно. Но даю иногда для профилактики чайную ложечку.
3. ЧИСТИТЬ СОСУДЫ ОТ ХОЛЕСТЕРИНА!!!
Семена льна. Хранить в холодильнике. Можно смолоть в кофемолке на пару дней.
По 1 ст.ложке с горкой молотого семени льна в еду. Прямо уже в тарелку. Утром и вечером.
3. Каждый день кушать перловку в любых видах. Еще лучше - ячменную кашу. Хотя бы раз в день.
4. ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО. Нужна соковыжималка.
С утра перед едой
1ый день.) Морковный сок 130 мл + сок корня сельдерея 75мл, или пастернака. Ну нет, так нет. Без него. Может, стебли сельдерея продаются? Сок пары стеблей тогда.
2ой день. ) Морковный 100мл + сок свеклы 70мл + сок огурца 70мл
3ий день.) Морковный 130мл +Сельдереевы 70мл + яблочный 70мл
4ый день) Морковный 130мл + капустный 50мл
5-ый день) Апельсиновый 130 мл
и по-второму кругу.... Это все тоже очень чистит сосуды от холестерина и налаживает давление соответственно.
5. Что можно и НУЖНО кушать. ТОЛЬКО:
Корица - добавлять в кашку.
Миндаль - по 7 шт каждый день. Я молола на кофемолке и добавляла в геркулесовую кашу.
Каша геркулесовая - каждое утро на завтрак.
Льняное семя. (уже написала как)
Зеленый чай. Некрепкий. Заваривать не дольше 3х минут. Можно заваривать потом тот же еще раза три.
Яблоки.
Авокадо - половинку в день. С лимонным соком. Если есть...
Грибы. Шампиньоны, если есть - превосходно.
Рыба. Индюшка. Куриная грудка. Все на пару готовила. Котлетки всякие из них, тефтельки, биточки.
Серый хлеб.
Капуста.
ФАСОЛЬ!!!
ЯЧМЕННАЯ крупа.!!! Перловка.!!
Виноградное масло в салаты, или оливковое. Нету - рафинированное подсолнечное.
Ну вот, у меня этот список = я не давала ничего, чего в нем нет.
Можно немного красного сухого вина.
Воду пить в течение дня - подкислять лимонным соком. Если лимоны есть... Или несколько капель яблочного уксуса.
Ни масла. Ни сметаны. Ни жареного. Ни куриных ножек. Ни печенки!!! Ни пупочков... Все это повышает холестерин. А значит и давление...
Упражнения физические на восстановление равновесия.
Раскладывала книги на полу. Штуки 4. Где-то 80 см одна от другой. Переступать через них, двигаясь боком . В одну сторону. Потом назад. Это физиотерапевт должен сказать, какие упражнения делать. Мы много разных делали.
Обязательно ходить по лестнице вниз и вверх, ступать одной ногой, ставить другую на эту же ступеньку. Таким же образом вверх. Хорошо бы чтобы мяч кто-то кидал, а она ловила. Даже шарик воздушный еще лучше. Минут пять - 10. Перерывы на отдых.

DeepEnglish.com.HUNTER PAYS $350,000 TO KILL RHINO. |
Texas millionaire and hunter Corey Knowlton recently paid $350,000 to kill an endangered black rhino in Namibia. There are only 4,000 to 5,000 black rhinos left in the world, and now there is one less. While it’s easy to paint Corey as a monster, he says that hunters like himself are endangered animals’ best hope for survival.
Corey is a lifelong hunter, but he didn’t have a lifelong dream to kill a rhino. In 2014, he was attending a hunting convention when a friend, John Jackson, asked him for a favor. The Dallas Safari Club was auctioning off a license to kill a black rhino in Namibia, but the auction had gotten a lot of bad publicity. Jackson was worried that no one would participate, so he asked Corey to make the first bid to get the ball rolling. He agreed to help and made the first and only bid of $350,000.

Welcome to Baba-Mail .Wow, She's Had Her Fair Share of Bad Luck... |
A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.
On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin."
"What??" said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married ten times?"
"Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was
going to be.
Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed
to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me.
Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but
he just couldn't get the system up.
Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn't
know when he would be able to deliver.
Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years
to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.
Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he
wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.
Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how
to position it.
Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it.
Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it.
Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was... God! I miss him! But now that
I've married you, I'm really excited!"
"Good," said the new husband, "but why?"
"Oh, you're a lawyer. This time I know I'm gonna get screwed!"

- No, Dad, it is in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.
After a brief pause, Daddy says,
- Honey, are you sure there is Uncle Paul?
- Yeah, he's upstairs with his mother.
Pause.

Welcome to Baba-Mail .The Power of Fruits and Vegetables. |
Most of us eat fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. After all, they have been a part of our diet since the dawn of humanity. We eat them raw, cooked and frozen, drink them as juices, and combine them with just about every other food we eat. But rather like anything else that’s been around for so long, there are many things you probably didn't know about fruits and veggies that can be very useful and important to learn.
1. Never mix grapefruits with medications.
Grapefruits are among the most nutritious fruits out there, but they can also be bad for you if you are taking certain medication. The chemicals in a grapefruit can cause a bad reaction with some drugs which can even have fatal results. If you’re on medication, be sure to check with a medical professional before drinking or eating any amount of grapefruit.
2. Fruits and veggies have a lot of fiber.
The benefits of fiber include keeping your bowel movements regular, helping lower cholesterol, regulating blood sugar, and helping you feel fuller for a longer time. Even if you don't need any more of the vitamins, minerals and other healthy ingredients in fruits and vegetables, they are still one of the best things you can eat on a daily basis.

Living with other people presents difficulties for most of us. Families can be unrelentingly hard, and many people relish being single and free. But at some point, we see that this freedom isn't what it appears to be, and decide to marry, or we simply fall in love. At the beginning we are so courteous with each other, but over time, familiarity diminishes the niceties, then we start to annoy each other with careless words and actions. In many cases, familiarity indeed breeds contempt. To avoid this disaster, why don't you:
