A tricky question

JUST 1 QUESTION.

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a busstop, and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady wholooks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved yourlife.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Whichone would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be onepassenger in your car? Think before you continue reading

...........

...........

...........

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die,and thus you should save her first;Or you could take the old friend becausehe once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay himback.However, you may never be able to find your perfect mateagain.

NOW READ THIS:
The candidate who was hired (out of 200applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer.He simplyanswered:I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him takethe lady to the hospital.I would stay behind and wait for the bus with thepartner of my dreams.

How to Keep Teeth White Naturally

There are many effective methods of teeth whitening available, but some come with heavy price tags. Here are some steps you can take at home to whiten teeth naturally without breaking the bank.
Things You’ll Need:

• Straw
• Toothbrush
• Lemon Juice
• Salt
• Baking soda
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Strawberries

Step 1:
Limit your consumption of drinks that stain tooth enamel. A few of these include coffee, tea and red wine. If you simply can't cut back on these beverages, consider drinking them though a straw to limit the amount of liquid that actually comes in contact with teeth.

Step 2:
Brush your teeth immediately after eating, especially if eating foods that stain easily, such as berries.

Step 3:
Rub raw strawberries on your teeth, preferably pureed. There is an enzyme in strawberries that acts as a whitening agent. You'll want to brush and rinse after applying the strawberries to remove the natural sugars and acids they may leave behind.

Step 4:
Eat crunchy foods that require a lot of chewing such as carrots, celery, broccoli and apples. These foods are abrasive and will remove built up plaque, which dulls the appearance of teeth.

Step 5:
Dip your toothbrush directly into baking soda and brush. The results are worth the lousy taste.

Step 6:
Combine lemon juice and one teaspoon of salt to make a paste-like substance. Brush your teeth and rinse. Again, not so pleasant on the palate, but your teeth will thank you.

Step 7:
Use hydrogen peroxide to brush your teeth. Dip your toothbrush into a small capful of the peroxide and brush as you would with regular toothpaste, being careful not to swallow. Rinse with water.

- Tips -

• Consider using one of the several whitening toothpastes on the market that have all-natural ingredients.
• Brushing after every meal and flossing regularly are the first steps in maintaining a healthy smile.

Common mistake in any household.

IMPORTANT Please..... Common mistake in any household.

This could be a common mistake in any household.This is shocking accident happened on 13th May 2012 in Pune.A housewife died due to burns sustained in the kitchen. Her husband too was 

hospitalized for injuries due to burns while trying to rescue his wife.How it happened?:-   The gas stove was on and cooking under process. The lady observed some cockroaches near the sink and 

grabbed a can of insect killer and sprayed it near the gas stove, which was on. There was an explosion and in no time the poor woman was covered in flames, sustaining 65% burns. Her husband 

rushed in, tried to douse the flames and his clothes too caught fire. The husband is still in hospital, in the burns ward,still unaware that his wife was declared dead on arrival.

Let us understand:-   All insect killer sprays such as "Hit", "Mortein"etc. have highly volatile and inflammable solvents.  The atomized nano spray particles spread extremely rapidly and one spark is enough to ignite this explosive mixture with oxygen present in air.
Did the poor lady realize the hazard involved? Apparently not!
Please educate your family about this and spread the word around.... who knows you may save more than a life....
