Do you want to help your fellow person?  Do you want to help make a difference in this world?  Do you want to use what you have to help cure horrific disabilities?  If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then you need liposuction!

By the way, this statement has absolutely nothing to do with appearance or any type of weight related health issues.  We’re talking stem cells baby! 

According to the new study from Stanford’s School of Medicine, posted Monday, September 7^th on the Stanford School of Medicine website, all that fat that is being sucked out of people’s bodies through lipo apparently contain versatile cells that are even easier to convert to pluripotent stem cells, or ISP cells, than skin cells.  These “pluripotent” cells are easier to be reprogrammed because “they are more embryonic-like” said Dr. Ning Sun, PhD, who conducted the research.

Just think of the possibilities!  You could have fundraisers where people just show up, lay on the examination table and donate their fat! Trained and certified doctors could donate their time for the extraction, and you would benefit from your donation in two ways! You would be helping someone else out, while gaining a new you in the process! You could call it Lypo for Life! 

Now you have no excuse not to order that double fudge dessert or decide to “super size it.” You may go ahead with your decision “guilt free” because in the end, you may save a life!

I can just hear the non-profit chairpersons now…scrambling to be the first to host this new and exclusive event! Just remember….don’t forget to invite your friends at E Social World to join you!

 OK, so you are probably thinking that this is some type of “Hallmark Holiday” made up by the card companies just to push a few cards to boost slow summer sales.  WRONG!  Actually, this is a real and legitimate, honest to goodness, proclaimed by the US Congress, holiday. 

According to website www.friendshipday.org

“The United States Congress, in 1935, proclaimed first Sunday of August as the National Friendship Day. Since then, celebration of National Friendship Day became an annual event.”

Now you may not have planned a big celebration for this day but come on, how about a phone call just to say “Thank you for being a friend”…wow, that could be a song cue!  Everybody hum the theme to the TV Show Golden Girls. 

Oh, and get this: Friendship Day isn’t just a US event, Friendshipday.org also states that
it has become so popular worldwide that “the United Nations named Winnie – the Pooh as the world’s Ambassador of Friendship.”

Of course, it is always easier to talk the talk than to walk the walk, so let me take this time to say Thank You to the many friends that I am so very fortunate to have.  I don’t want to put a bunch of names out on the ol World Wide Web, but to the Lucy of my Ethel, to the one I always credit for my career in media, to the one who was my shield when all of the swords were coming at me (remember it can be deadly out here in Social Land) and of course the best business partner anyone could ask for, maybe I don’t always say it, but Thank You, your friendship is something I treasure.

“Friends make you smile from ear to ear.” -Winnie the Pooh
