Doctors vs. Gun Owners

Doctors vs. Gun Owners
Here is an email forward I thought was funny. And yes, I support the right to bear arms.

Doctors vs. Gun Owners

DOCTORS:
(1) The number of physicians in the U.S. Is 700,000.
(2) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians Per year are 120,000.
(3) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services.

GUNS:
(1)The number of gun owners in the U.S. 80,000,000. (Yes, that's 80 million)
(2) The number of accidental gun deaths Per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
(3) The number of accidental deaths Per gun owner is .000188.
Statistics courtesy of FBI.

So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR. Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

My Dad

I just wanted to write a little about my dad. He will be retiring from Freeport-McMoran this year. His last day is actually tomorrow. He has always been there for us as kids, and I know that he has inspired many up at his job. He is pretty bummed about the retirement since many people at Freeport have been laid off or offered early retirement packages, such as my dad. He worked for Phelps Dodge and then this company for 37 years and 10 months to be exact. I am happy, but also sad because I know that he will miss certain things about being up there. I am happy that he won't have to work so hard and stress so much, but he has never done anything but this job. I want him to not be depressed and have a fun retirement. My dad is a great dad and a great person. I am very proud of him for working hard and losing 45 pounds! Lately he has had some little health problems, but I know everything will be okay...I love him!

New Table..


Here are some pics of our new dining room table we bought a couple of weeks ago...It is a mexican style table with unique colors in it. We love it....Now we just have to buy a couple more chairs and a house that can fit this size of table since it is an 8 footer!! Pretty big I know, but we wanted something that will last a very long time!

Geode Hunting



Here are a couple of pictures when I was back home for Christmas...It was freezing outside and snowing all around us. My dad wanted me to take a picture of him with a cactus...He is too funny! The other picture is of my dad, mom, Kambrah, & Ben walking in the wash. Me and Kambrah were looking for geodes...something we used to do when we were little. We would play outside all day and look for any kind of geode or sparkly rock and bring back bagfuls for my mom. I wish I was still little!
