STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters… S.T..R … My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance) 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 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the party . 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… STROKE IDENTIFICATION: 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 Remember the ‘3’ steps, STR . Read and Learn! 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 * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg ‘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 the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. NOTE : Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is 1. Ask the person to ‘stick’ out their tongue. 2. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. And it could be your own.
First reblog post that actually saves a life.
This is a life-saving post.
the more you know
yeah don’t think that this can’t happen to you or someone you know if they’re young. my cousin’s wife is 33 and she had a stroke last year
I’ve had a stroke. It happens to people, and the more you know about this kind of stuff, the better.Because it could be important to know.
LIVE SAVING. WOOOAHH. REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG
Had a family member almost die of one, so signal boosting because you never know when you could save a life.
Because I feel bad if I don’t reblog…
My mother died after being paralyzed by a stroke. Please read this^
I remember a while ago here in UK there were stroke-identifying adverts. Their catchphrase was FAST:
F- Face: is their face fallen on one side?
A- Arms: can they raise both their arms up and hold them there?
S- Speech: is their speech slurred? Can they speak a full sentence?
T- Time: if all the signs show a stroke, call 999.
We managed to save my nana with this information when she had her first stroke.
Just had a friend suffer a stroke while on vacation. She is thankfully on the mend and back home.
Always worthy of a reblog. Please take heed of this information. It could determine whether someone stays on this side of the ground or winds up on the other. 😬

Tai Ji Jian Yi太极剑意 (Tai Ji Sword Intent). The first two clips are the authentic Daoist Tai Ji Sword from Wudang Mountain, and the subsequent ones are martial sword techniques derived from Tai Ji Jian, as well as sword styles in films and dramas.
What is Tai Ji: Tai Ji represents the ultimate origin of all things in the universe—the undivided “primordial qi” from which the opposing forces of yin and yang emerge, move, and transform. The term “Tai” denotes the supreme, while “Ji” signifies the pivotal axis, embodying “the beginning of all things and the source of all change.” Its core concept is captured in The Book of Changes: Appended Remarks: “In the Yi there is Tai Ji, which generates the Two Modes.”
Tai Ji represents a worldview of unity in opposition and cyclical motion, exemplified by the Taijitu (yin-yang symbol), which visually illustrates the principles of complementary balance and mutual transformation between yin and yang. This philosophy permeates fields such as traditional Chinese medicine, feng shui, and the arts.
So Tai Ji Sword is not merely a martial art—it is fundamentally a practice of embodying the cosmic principle of yin-yang harmony.

your → thy / thine
yours → thine
yourself → thyself
my → mine (before vowels: mine eyes)
sir / ma’am → my lord / my lady
friend → good sir / good woman
Tip: Overusing thou can feel forced. Many modern fantasy stories skip it entirely.

soon → anon
always → ever
never → ne’er
maybe → mayhap
nothing → naught
anything → aught
angry → wroth
afraid → afeard
tired → weary
quiet → hushed
dark → gloomed / shadowed
Faux-Archaic Phrases (Very Usable)
“I would have words with you.”
“So it shall be.”
“You speak boldly.”
“This matter is settled.”
“I will hear no more of this.”
“Mark my words.”
“Gods be good.”
“By my honor.”
“It is not my place.”
“Let it be known.”
“You overstep.”
“Enough of this.”
“On my life.”
“Say it plain.”
Dialogue Tone Shifts (Modern → Faux-Archaic)
“What do you want?” → “Speak your purpose.”
“I don’t trust you.” → “I place no faith in you.”
“You lied to me.” → “You spoke false.”
“We’re out of time.” → “Time runs thin.”
“This is dangerous.” → “This path is perilous.”
“I’ll handle it.” → “I shall see to it.”
Syntax Tricks (This Is the Secret Sauce)
Instead of archaic words, shift sentence structure:
Put emphasis first → “Never have I seen such folly.”
Drop contractions → “I will not” instead of I won’t
Slightly formal word order → “Gone are the days of mercy.”
Replace casual filler → “Well…” → “So…” / “Then…”
Writing Tip:
Good faux-archaic prose is about restraint, not accuracy.
Use just enough elevated language to suggest age—without slowing the reader down.
The human resources department is not there to protect you. It's there to protect the company. Here's why that matters.
Should You Trust Your Human Resources Department?
Human resources exists to protect the company. Not the individual employee—the company. So if something is not in the best interest of the company, HR shuts that whole thing down!
Their mission statement: stop employees from costing the company money. They mediate problems not to seek justice, but to avoid expensive lawsuits, settlements, and public relations disasters.
So if you take nothing else away from this lesson, let it be this: human resources is not your friend or ally. They are not impartial judges, mediators, therapists, playground monitors, RAs, or anything of the sort. Doesn’t matter how nice the individual employees are, nor their best intentions. If they must choose between defending you and defending the company, they will choose the company every time. It’s their job to do so.

yup, document everything

the more documentation you bring to a meeting the more “your side” is the side of least risk for the company.
