Important Numbers for your Cell Phone08.28.07

Tuesday is practical advice day here at GenPink. Today’s practical advice is knowing which important phone numbers to program into your phone. It is also a good idea to keep a copy of these numbers on paper in your wallet and on the fridge at home.

  • I.C.E - The idea is to designate someone in your cell phone as the In Case of Emergency Contact (I.C.E) this can help rescuers if you are in an accident.

    "Paramedics, police and firefighters often waste valuable time trying to figure out which name in a cell phone to call when disaster strikes, according to current and retired members of the emergency services, who said they must look through wallets for clues, or scroll through cell address books and guess. Many people identify their spouse by name in their cell, making them indistinguishable from other entries." - Washingtonpost

    I have my fiance in my phone as "ICE: Jason" but I also have Mom & Dad that can be called in an emergency.

  • Emergency Medical Services: this is usually 911 but check your local area
  • Poison Control: 1-800-222-1222. This toll-free number will put you in touch with the poison control center in your state.

101 one hundred and ones07.26.07

101 one hundred and ones

That would be one hundred and one, one hundred and ones, not one-O-ones. This is a list of 101 different 101 lists.

The real question should be why does step by step instructions (101) have to be the same as a list of one hundred and one things (101).

There is something about the 101 list that always grabs my attention. I thought it would be fun to see if I could find 101 different 101 lists.

Happy bookmarking!
