Points to Celes You can't be too late-cause I am even later *sighs* Sorry sorry sorry Happy Happy Birthday Lumpen.

You guys should remember this. You were put on this world with a purpose in mind. You may not know your purpose-but someone does. You are here because you are needed. There is no way you should pre-empt the task you were given. Life is a gift and should never be wasted. There are those who love you and this is no matter what you might think. Tho you might struggle, and think you are getting nowhere, there are those who watch you and realize if you can manage your life they can certainly manage theirs. Do not give up on the light and the good around you. Hmmm-I am really not as sanctimonius and prissy as that sounds. I just hate for you to think you are alone in anything when you have people around who care for you.

Yes but Aardvark-you forget. You ARE a wiccan weirdo whack! But a very nice one. Weather everywhere seems to be a little strange. We had snow flurries all day last Saturday but no sticking and today it has rained and sleeted and they say snow tonite. Of course I am in Tennessee and here if you don't like the weather you just gotta wait awhile and it will change.

Glad they got your cable fixed Deg!

Very Nice Indeed!!

*laughing* WhooHoo-those are really good! A blonde and a brunette decide to start a farm together. They add up their life savings into a total of $200.00. Then, the blonde decided to purchase a bull with it. The brunette agrees, and so the brunette leaves to go find the perfect bull. When she does she is to telegram the blonde and tell her to come get it. Finally, the brunette find the bull of her dreams. The farmer says he wants $200 for it. The brunette, thinking she can get a better deal, says no to his offer. The farmer says, "Alright then, I'll give you a great deal, how about $199.00?" The brunette accepts and buys the bull. She has $1.00 left for the telegram. The telegram guy says, "It's $1.00 per word." The brunette thinks about this and says,"Comfortable, write that." "Comfortable?" the guy questions. "Yes, you see she reads slow."

Happy Happy Birthday!!!!

How creative!!! I love it Happy Halloween!

And I have found that if you act confident long enough-pretty soon you will be. I would only ask a question-have you tried to get a grant or something to help you with your student loans? Not the kind you have to pay to get either. Anyone who tries and has your determination should succeed at what they want.

Poor Puppy Aardvark you sound like someone I knew in another life long ago. True evil tends to change as you grow and mature. Years ago I had a list of people I truly thought I hated-now I simply feel sorry for them. Even when I am in a fury I cannot imagine seriously hurting anyone, but it would be nice to have the wealth of a princess.

Funny stuff Peredhil Recently a guy in Paris nearly got away with stealing several paintings from the Louvre. However, after planning the crime, getting in and out past security, he was captured only 2 blocks away when his Econoline ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied: "I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh." OOOOOOOOOO that was really bad. Lets try this: Once there was this bus which happened to be from Sesamee Street. On the bus were some very strange people with very strange things to do. First there were two identical twins whose names were both Pattie. They were very big and muscular, especially for women. Next there was a man named Ross. He was a extrodinary guy so he was dubbed "Special Ross". After that there was a hefty, overweight man named Leonard. Since his cheeks were so puffy people decided to nickname him "Leonard Cheeks". Finally, all the people on the bus had bunions at which they feverously picked and scratched. What do we call this bus filled with strange people? Of course; we call them: "Two all-beef Patties, Special Ross, Leonard Cheeks, pickin' bunions, on a Sesamee Street bus!" Hmmmmmm-not much better. See how ya like this: A bunch of cows and bulls are standing in a field. A huge gust of wind comes along and all the cows fall over, but the bulls just stand there, bracing themselves against the gale. So all the cows stand up and brush themselves off and go back to their business. Pretty soon, a tornado blows through and all of the cows are knocked to the ground, but the bulls just munch on the grass. Next, a hurricane comes through and all the cows are knocked into the next pasture. The bulls just say "moo." Finally, one of the cows walks up to one of the bulls and says, "Moo? What's the mooing deal? How come the wind always knocks us for a loop and you just stand there unharmed ?" "Isn't it obvious?" the bull replies. "We bulls wobble, but we don't fall down."

*ack* You will find I call everyone guy-but in all honesty I should have thought that thru. So velly solly-Silly Savvy now go standa in de closet.

*waves at the new guy* Don't worry about what you post-It is (or so I think) more about the fact that you can post and find people willing to be quite gentle in their comments. I say that knowing all I have posted are jokes but everyone is wonderful and you will adore them.

This is like, so totally corny, that I could not resist: There was once a snail who was sick and tired of his reputation for being so slow. He decided to get some fast wheels to make up the difference. After shopping around a while, he decided that the Datson 240-Z was the car to get. So the snail goes to the nearest Datsun dealer and says he wants to buy the 240-Z, but he wants it repainted "240-S". The dealer asks, "Why 'S'?" The snail replies, "'S' stands for snail. I want everybody who sees me roaring past to know who's driving." Well, the dealer doesn't want to lose the unique opportunity to sell a car to a snail, so he agrees to have the car repainted for a small fee. The snail gets his new car and spent the rest of his days roaring happily down the highway at top speed. And whenever anyone would see him zooming by, they'd say "Wow! Look at that S-car go!"

Congratulations! To see your work in print will be wonderful. There exist only three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the soldier, the poet. To know, to kill, to create. Charles Baudelaire (1821 - 1867),

Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio? If you have your finger touching the rearview mirror that says -- "objects in mirror are closer than they appear", how can that be possible? Why is it so hard to remember how to spell MNEMONIC? If someone invented instant water, what would they mix it with? Why is it called a TV "set" when you only get one? Why does an alarm clock "go off" when it begins ringing? If pro is the opposite of con, is progress the opposite of congress? Why does "cleave" mean both split apart and stick together? Why is it, whether you sit up or sit down, the result is the same?

Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything. Blaise Pascal All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire. Aristotle It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. Aristotle

I am also grateful for Peredhil and for Thanksgiving and for all the wonderful people on this board. But I guess I can wait for November and our Thanksgiving to get all mushy.

What a southerner knows The difference between a hissie fit and a conniption fit. Pretty much how many fish make up a mess. What general direction cattywumpus is. That "gimme sugar" don't mean pass the sugar. When somebody's "fixin" to do something, it won't be long. The difference between Yankees and damn Yankees. How good a cold grape Nehi and cheese crackers are at a country store. Knows what, "Well I Suwannee !!" means. Ain't nobody's biscuits like Grandma's biscuits. A good dog is worth its weight in gold. Real gravy don't come from the store. The War of Northern Aggression was over states rights, not slavery. When "by and by" is. The difference between "pert' near" and "a right fur piece."

Two friends rented a boat and fished in a lake every day. One day they caught 30 fish. One guy said to his friend, "Mark this spot so that we can come back here again tomorrow." The next day, when they were driving to rent the boat, the same guy asked his friend, "Did you mark that spot?" His friend replied, "Yeah, I put a big 'X' on the bottom of the boat." The first one said, "You stupid fool! What if we don't get that same boat today!?!?" Three patients in a mental institution prepare for an examination given by the head psychiatrist. If the patients pass the exam, they will be free to leave the hospital. However, if they fail, the institution will detain them for five years. The doctor takes the three patients to the top of a diving board looking over an empty swimming pool, and asks the first patient to jump. The first patient jumps head first into the pool and breaks both arms. Then the second patient jumps and breaks both legs. The third patient looks over the side and refuses to jump. "Congratulations! You're a free man. Just tell me why didn't you jump?" asked the doctor. To which the third patient answered, "Well Doc, I can't swim!"

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. Abraham Lincoln You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one. It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.

I think fortune tellers and phone psychics are for the most part fakes. I believe in deja vu because I lean toward beliving in reincarnation. I also believe that for the most part what people call a psychic connection is just an extreme closeness to a person. A bonding of your minds if you will. You can be so close to someone that if they think something you know it. You know what they will wear before they go to a closet to pick it out. I think everyone has the ability to see things they should not know-but is it supernatural? Or just your subconcious picking up on things around you that you ignore. You have a vision of an impending disaster while you are asleep because at the moment your mind is at rest and all the thoughts it has picked up get the chance to be put in order. I think everyone has this ability. I think most don't use it because it takes some work to figure it out and it gives you truths about things you do not want to know.

*laughs as she reads* Totally wonderful!!

Mark Twain A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain. A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more. Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. Barring that natural expression of villainy which we all have, the man looked honest enough. Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society. Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.
