I don't know if it's an urban legend or not, but that doesn't really matter. I read in an email a while back about an EMT with a good idea. Often times car accident victims have cell phones that they find on the scene. If the victim is unable to communicate, then they can't tell the EMTs who to call, and the EMTs wouldn't know who to dial in the cell phone contact list. I think the solution is kind of neat.
Pick your In Case of Emergency person and list them in your contacts as ICE (then name). For example, when my hubby calls me it comes up ICE, Mark, husband. Hopefully I'll never be in the position to need this, and who knows if the EMTs would have heard of it, but it sure doesn't hurt to give it a try, especially if we spread the word.

INSPIRATIONAL WORDS
for new parents of a child
with Down syndrome
..."There’s so much to consider! About learning how to manage prejudice, and about what to say and when to say it, and about how to juggle schedules and therapies and all that. There’s forgiveness, for all of us, and strength, and love, and hope, too. And faith, in yourself, and your child. Let your child show you the way. You will find it, together, and it will be amazing. It will be all the things you hoped it would be; it’s all there, waiting for you."

When I bought my new cell phone recently it was pre-programed with "ice contacts" so I would say it is not an urban legand! Love, the prairie
When I passed out a couple of weeks ago, the police called the number listed under "home".
the prairie-
Guess it's true.

I actually thought of you when I posted this. We don't have a house phone anymore as we never used it, so that's not an option for us. More and more people are moving towards just cells I think.
