The Sun's current transit encourages love and playfulness through creativity and the connection with others. You may find yourself dealing with deep questions relating to your quality of life. Feel free to make some bold changes in your routine. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dragonpurr:627840 2008-07-18T17:13:23Z 2008-07-18T17:13:23Z A Spanish Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. 'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.' 'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'<br /> <br />A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'<br /> <br />Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.<br /> <br />The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:<br /> 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;<br /> 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;<br /> 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and<br /> 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.<br /> <br />(THIS GETS BETTER!)<br /> <br />The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because:<br /> 1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;<br /> 2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;<br /> 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and<br /> 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.<br /> <br />The women won. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dragonpurr:626179 2008-07-17T16:42:42Z 2008-07-17T17:50:34Z <img width="150" height="208" src="http://pics.livejournal.com/moonstone_fae/pic/000ec97c" alt="" /><br />(Thanks Kali for the graphic!) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dragonpurr:625693 2008-07-17T15:31:56Z 2008-07-17T15:31:56Z HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE. <br /> <br /> George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. <br /> <br /> George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things. He phoned the police, who asked 'Is someone in your house?' and he said 'no'. Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available. <br /> <br /> George said, 'Okay,' hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again. 'Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I just shot them.' Then he hung up. <br /> <br /> Within five minutes six police cars, a SWAT Team, a helicopter, two fire trucks, a paramedic and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence and caught the burglars red-handed <br /> <br /> One of the Policemen said to George: 'I thought you said that you'd shot them!' George said, 'I thought you said there was nobody available!' urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dragonpurr:625470 2008-07-17T15:27:59Z 2008-07-17T15:27:59Z As you work slowly and steadily towards your goals, realize that there are apt to be unexpected obstacles along the way, Susannah. You can't possibly plan for everything that comes onto your path, so don't get discouraged today when some crazy variable comes popping out of nowhere. Your mental process may be thrown for a loop and you might find that your head has gone into a frenzy. There is a valuable lesson to be learned here: patience. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dragonpurr:625188 2008-07-17T15:26:57Z 2008-07-17T15:26:57Z <span class="ljtags"> <div class="entryText"> <ul><li>Finally online...</li><li>Crutches</li><li>Watching my soaps</li><li>access to AWESOME birthday cakes without paying the AWESOME price!</li><li>friends with fantastic cameras that want to take pictures of my son</li><li>friends who travel that like to spoil my children</li><li>Fabulous friends</li></ul></div></span> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dragonpurr:625150 2008-07-16T02:05:36Z 2008-07-17T15:55:07Z <lj-phonepost journalid="1106762" dpid="28312"> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dragonpurr:623850 2008-07-11T20:20:52Z 2008-07-11T20:23:09Z <ul><li> I got to go see a very dear friend on my way to Spin class, yesterday... </li><li>Middle Eastern garb for Matthew!</li><li>GAME NIGHT!</li><li>Talking to a new friend online...</li><li>A big glass of water, instead of lunch. </li><li>I have an inquisitive, healthy, active, baby boy..</li><li>Today is BEAUTIFUL!</li><li>I may have a lunch date next week...</li></ul> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dragonpurr:623403 2008-07-11T20:05:36Z 2008-07-11T20:08:33Z I was telling Duncan about how Waffle went looking for my Name and Device, and couldn't find it in the armorial....

The other farmer says, "Yeah, I’ve got this great rooster named Chuck. He’ll service every chicken you got, no problem."<br /><br />Well, Chuck the rooster costs a lot of money, but the farmer decides he’d be worth it. So, he buys Chuck. The farmer takes Chuck home and sets him down in the barnyard, first, giving the rooster a pep talk, "Chuck, I want you to pace yourself now. You’ve got a lot of chickens to service here, and you cost me a lot of money. Consequently, I’ll need you to do a good job. So, take your time and have some fun," the farmer said, with a chuckle.<br /><br />Chuck seemed to understand, so the farmer points toward the hen house, and Chuck took off like a shot. - WHAM! - Chuck nails every hen in the hen house - three or four times, and the farmer is really shocked. After that the farmer hears a commotion in the duck pen, sure enough, Chuck is in there. Later, the farmer sees Chuck after a flock of geese, down by the lake. Once again, - WHAM! - He gets all the geese.<br /><br />By sunset he sees Chuck out in the fields chasing quail and pheasants. The farmer is distraught—worried that his expensive rooster won’t even last 24 hours. Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up the next day to find Chuck dead as a doorknob—stone cold in the middle of the yard. Buzzards are circling overhead.<br /><br />The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colorful and expensive animal, shakes his head and says, "Oh Chuck, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you’ve done to yourself."<br /><br />Chuck opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky and says, "Shhhh, they’re getting closer....." urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dragonpurr:621907 2008-07-10T17:49:13Z 2008-07-10T17:49:13Z &nbsp;<p><strong>QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT YOUR ECONOMIC STIMULUS PAYMENT<br /></strong><br />Q.&nbsp; What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?<br />A.&nbsp; It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.</p><p>Q.&nbsp; Where did the government get this money?<br />A.&nbsp; From taxpayers.</p><p>Q.&nbsp; So the government is giving me back my own money?<br />A.&nbsp; Only a smidgen.</p><p>Q.&nbsp; What is the purpose of the payment?<br />A.&nbsp; The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.</p><p>Q.&nbsp; But isn’t that stimulating the economy of China?<br />Shut up</p> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:dragonpurr:620970 2008-07-10T13:37:24Z 2008-07-10T13:37:24Z 1.
