PSA
If you have any motion sickness issues, don't see Cloverfield in a theater. You won't make it past 30 minutes. It's been a week since I saw it and I still can't mention the name without feeling ill...
*:-P*
I just decided I needed make my world a better place and went to the market and bought yummy goodness for my candy jar at work:
Hershey's candy coated Kisses - these are stupidly yummy
Heshey's miniatures
Peanut M & M's
... and now I have a pack of people in my office, LOL... Glad I bought a big bag...
But now, I want cheese.

Since when did they learn to knock? A 6-foot-long alligator pays a visit to Roslyn and Robert Loretta’s home in Sun City Hilton Head last summer. The reptile apparently was attracted to the smell of teriyaki chicken at their house.
- OK, now... Aside from granny-grams and bacon, I do have a deep desire to see all my boy-friends happy. I would like nothing more than for everyone the have a special someone for Valentine's Day, even if it's only for a few hours... What are you waiting for? http://conjugalharmony.com/browse.htmlEnjoy!
Reposted from an advice column:
Dear Prudence,
I am African, and I've found that a lot of times when people meet me, they ask the dumbest questions. (Do you live in trees? Do you have houses? etc., etc.) Now, I understand that people in the United States know next to nothing about Africa because of what they see (or don't see) in the mainstream media. My response used to be to explain, but lately, I've been taking the sarcastic route. For example, if someone says, "You speak really good English," I say, "Thank you, and so do you," or if someone asks if we live in trees, I answer enthusiastically, "Yes, and our tree is right next to the American embassy tree." But sadly, there are cases where this has gone right over the recipient's head. What is the proper way of dealing with ignorance without having to spend time explaining yet again, or coming across as having a chip on my shoulder?
—Tired of the Dumb Questions
Dear Tired,
You don't say what the circumstances are in which you have to answer these appalling inquiries (although praising the English of someone who speaks with an accent is a harmless compliment). If you're dealing with clients or customers, you're under different pressure to be courteous than if you're chatting with a stranger in line at the bank. If you're in a work setting, saying simply, but with a small shake of the head, "No, we don't live in trees," allows you to be both polite and to express rue at being asked such a question. As for everyone else, I like your sarcastic answers. And I don't think it's sad; I think it's rather wonderful that you can land a zinger without the target even knowing he or she has been hit. But you are also under no obligation to respond at all. An incredulous look can have its own eloquence.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.

You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.
You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row.

You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.
