DNA paternity testing kit goes on sale for 30 dollars

WASHINGTON (AFP) - A swab, a consent form, an envelope and a waiting period of three to five business days is all there is to settling paternity issues with the test kit that went on sale Wednesday at some US drug stores.

Identigene, which runs a DNA testing laboratory, said its DNA Paternity Test Collection Kit went on sale at the 4,363 Rite Aid drug stores throughout the United States, except New York.

The swab in the kit is used to collect a saliva sample, to be mailed to the Identigene laboratory for an analysis that costs additional 119 dollars.

It takes three to five business days to get the test results, which are delivered by mail, email, or online through a secured Web service.

The paternity test kit is already a hit in California, Washington and Oregon states, where they have been selling on a trial basis since November, Identigene said.

"Demand has been very strong, store sales are brisk and Identigene has been inundated with questions regarding the product's availability," it said in a statement.

Test kit buyers include women who want to know the identity of father of their child -- or unborn child -- as well as people looking for their parents.

Sold without prescription, the paternity kits are not allowed as evidence in court, where more precise and costly DNA tests are required.


WOW..WHAT WILL MAURY AIR ON HIS SHOW NOW????????

"The Pastor's Ass"

THE PASTOR'S ASS"

> The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.

> The pastor was so pleased with the donkey
that he entered it in the race again, and it won again.

> The local paper read:

> "PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT"

> The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor

> not to enter the donkey in another race.

> The next day, the local paper headline read:

> "BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS"

> This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey.

> The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.

> The local paper posted the following headline the next day:

> "NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN"

> The bishop fainted.

> He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey,

> so she sold it to a farmer for $10.

> The next day the paper read:

> "NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10"

> This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.

> The next day the ad lines read:

The moral of this story is:
Being concerned about public opinion
can bring you much grief and misery. .
even shorten your life.
So be yourself and enjoy life.
Stop worrying about everyone Else's ass and you'll be a lot happier and live longer.

My niece Destiny

My niece is soo silly...she talks,laughs, and jokes just like me. Shes a spitten image of me....but she doesn't look like me ok..lol..anyways tonight I came across a picture she posted on her myspace and I was crackin up..I couldn't believe her silly butt put this picture on her myspace. But, she's just like me, she doesn't care what people think!

When she was first born her intestine blew up, the did surgery. (that's where the first small scar comes from) Then when she was a year old, I had her one night at church and she started vomiting non stop like a water faucet. We had to rush her to the hospital. Her intestine had blown up again...they had to do surgery on her again (that' where the bigger scar comes from)

Anyways Destiny has never been afraid of her scar she has always shown it to everyone. ....She has also been in dance and ballet since she was 4. Destiny has always wanted to be a model but because of her scar this has been a stumbling block for her. So instead she has decided to take on acting. I'm so proud of her for not letting people's disgracing comments or remarks get in the way of her hopes and dreams!
