Song of the Week

"Monster Mash" - Bobby "Boris" Pickett

I was working in the lab late one night
When myeyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise


He did the mash
He did themonster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did themash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash


From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroomwhere the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
Toget a jolt from my electrodes


They did the mash
They did themonster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did themash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monstermash


The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son


The scenewas rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by hisbaying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocalgroup, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"


They played the mash
They playedthe monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
Theyplayed the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
Theyplayed the monster mash


Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook hisfist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"


It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
The monster mash
And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the mash
It's caught on in aflash
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash


Noweverything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hitof the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get tomy door, tell them Boris sent you


Then you can mash
Then you canmonster mash
The monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
Then you canmash
You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash
Then you canmonster mash

My Uncle in the Papers

So my Uncle Todd found his way into the newspaper the other week...

Regina has ultimate taste for the Stones
Pamela Cowan, Leader-Post (Regina)
Published: Thursday, October 05, 2006



Tongues are wagging all over Regina about the Rolling Stones.

At the corner of Thornton Avenue and Rae Street, Todd Apperley has constructed a giant hand-drawn tongue, which is flanked by the Union Jack and Canada's flag and is lit by a spotlight at night

Apperley began tooling the tongue a month ago. He hopes it will entice "some nice mates from across the pond" to drop over to his Lakeview home, sign his tongue tribute and share a few beers in his backyard.

If Apperley's wish comes true, he plans to donate the sign to the Children's Wish Foundation so they can raffle it to raise money for kids.

"I love the Stones," Apperley said Wednesday afternoon.

No kidding.

He's painted the Stones' signature tongue on his cap, shirt and jacket and his cell phone rings to his favourite song, "Start Me Up."

"I think I've lost my mind -- at least that's what people say, but it's once in a lifetime for Regina and you know, the boys are getting older," Apperley said.

He admires the Stones' endurance in spite of their struggles with drugs and booze.

"The whole meaning of rock and roll is what they put forward," he said. "Now they're trying to stay clean and get on with their lives and put out good music. It's just fantastic!"

A framer and house painter by trade, Apperley was between jobs when the band's setup crew rolled into town. Satisfaction came after he made 20 phone calls to track down who to talk to about being hired to set up the massive stage.

"The timing was just perfect," said the 39-year-old. "I've never ever done anything this big before. When we're watching the show, I can say, 'Hey, I helped build that.'

"I don't think Regina realized how big it was going to be but now that I'm helping to set up the stage -- get your tickets and get out there because it's just going to be rank!"

His partner, Lorrie McNeill, bought the Union Jack flag at a garage sale last weekend.

Although she's more restrained about her allegiance to the Stones, McNeill is excited about attending Friday's show.

"I think it's awesome for Regina," she said. "It's a chance in a lifetime for people who haven't seen them. I saw them once about 20 years ago in Calgary but they were younger then. I can't imagine what they'll do now."

Stones fever is everywhere, said Mayor Pat Fiacco.

"You just have to look around and you can tell that people are excited everywhere ... Some of the display windows that we're seeing in some of the stores and the signs that are out there -- it's fun stuff," he said.

Thousands more tongues, even tie-dyed ones, are hanging out at Vintage Vinyl & Hemp Emporium on 11th Avenue.

The 5,000-square-foot store features the Stones trademark on baseball caps, cowboy hats, toques, bunnyhugs, T-shirts, ashtrays, cufflinks, wall clocks and alarm clocks. Just inside the door are Stones LPs and tons of T-shirts are everywhere.

"We have 5,000 different T-shirts to choose from," said owner Pat Baumet. "We have the largest selection in Canada. If you wanted to count all our T-shirts, we probably have 50,000 to 60,000."

Jammed on racks in the vanilla-incense-filled shop are tongues on short and long sleeve shirts, sports jerseys and "girlie-styled hoodies." Plain classic tongue shirts vie for attention among flashier numbers with liquid and tie-dyed tongues. The mind-numbing selection of shirts also marks the Stones' many tours.

"We have a very unique shirt here that's a Canadian tour shirt and it's got a moose with the Canadian Maple Leaf on the tongue," Baumet said. "The demand has been there since they announced the show and a lot of roadies that are in town to set up the stage have been very impressed with the selection we've got here."

Baumet is also sending a written invitation to the Stones.

"We hope they want to come down and have a personal tour with the doors closed," he said. "Burton Cummings was here for the first Rock 'n the Valley. He came in with his road manager and about three days later he had his wife fly in to shop here ... She absolutely loved our tie-dyed dresses. She bought four or five of them as well as a lot of other tie-dyed stuff."

Expecting a crush of customers, Baumet plans to extend his weekend hours and pledges to "stay open all night Saturday to accommodate fans."


Regina gets Stoned
Saskatchewan set to prove that it rocks

Stones fan Todd Apperley hopes band autographs his Regina yard sign to raise money for charity


Without doubt, it's the biggest entertainment spectacle ever to hit Saskatchewan.

This Thanksgiving weekend, Regina will host not just one, but two sold-out shows by "the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world," the Rolling Stones.

Some 90,000 people in total will pour into Mosaic Stadium, the home of the Roughriders, tomorrow night and Sunday to watch Mick Jagger and his invincible cohort Keith Richards put the band through its paces.

Everything about the Stones tour is larger than life. The stage construction is eight storeys high and takes a crew of 400 people to build. To move it requires the services of 80 semi-trailers. During the course of the concert, it's expected that the fans will drink the equivalent of 360,000 beers.

In the spirit of the party atmosphere, the provincial liquor authority has decided to allow the bars to stay open an hour later, so last call will be at 3 a.m. and closing will be at 4 a.m.
document.

The city has suspended its noise bylaw temporarily to accommodate the crews if they have to work through the night to get the massive stage ready on time. The biggest controversy surrounding accommodations for the erstwhile Bad Boys of Rock seems to be whether Richards will be allowed to smoke on stage.

This kind of accommodation is not unusual where big events in Saskatchewan are concerned, whether it's a Grey Cup or any of a number of Briers.

But the significance of this event is much greater. Elton John has played Saskatchewan, but that didn't change the place. Cher came and went, but the Earth didn't move.

This time it's different. The Stones concerts are taking on mythic proportions in the Saskatchewan psyche. It is seen here as a coming of age for a province where disappointment is always just around the corner.

This time, victory is at hand.

Saskatchewan is the only prairie province where the Stones have never played. This year, Regina is one of only three stops on the Stones' Canadian tour, along with Halifax and Vancouver. And it's the only stop on the fall leg of their Bigger Bang tour where the band is playing twice.

The Stones' interest in playing before audiences that have never had the opportunity to see them before has been repaid in full by their prairie fans.

While it took a full day to sell out the Vancouver show, Regina sold out in 20 minutes. When the band added a second show, the tickets were gone in an hour. Obviously, there is a pent-up demand for the Stones here, but it's more than that. This event taps into two big undercurrents in Saskatchewan culture.

One is the conviction that given the opportunity, this province can compete with any jurisdiction in the country. The other is the tribal nature of the province. Outside of Newfoundland, perhaps, there is no other province in the land that has so many expatriates scattered across the country, nor any so proud of their roots.

You need only look at the national fan base for the Saskatchewan Roughriders for proof of that. So as the leaders of the biggest tribe of fans in the world, the Stones are the perfect fit for Saskatchewan.

Regina mayor Pat Fiacco says "it is pretty amazing, but it's about time, don't you think?"
Fiacco notes that unlike Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal, a big occasion in Saskatchewan does not get lost in the competition for attention with other events. The whole province hears about it and gets behind it.

Aside from the obvious windfall for hotels and restaurants over Thanksgiving, the Stones shows will also bring international attention to the province, making it a potential stop for other major entertainment events. When the excitement from this is over, Fiacco says the city intends to start promoting the football stadium as a venue for other big shows.

"We all know this is a place that can support such an event but those who are doing it nationally have to give us a chance," Fiacco said in an interview.

Of course, no event of this size is without a political element. Premier Lorne Calvert is hoping this sends a message to those who might be thinking of leaving the province.

"It's that intangible that says, particularly to the young person, that this is the place to be, that things happen here," Calvert said in an interview. It also fits nicely into the government's effort to boost the music industry here. The province and the four largest cities embarked on a strategy some time ago to attract all the major music awards shows to Saskatchewan.

Over the course of the next year, Saskatchewan will host four major musical events including the Junos, the Canadian Country Music Awards, the Western Canadian Music Awards and the yet-to-be-announced Aboriginal Music Awards.

It was at this year's Juno awards that Calvert met with Stones promoter Donald K. Donald and got the ball rolling on bringing the band to Saskatchewan.

Naturally the premier will be on hand for the show, wearing "something warm."

Ron Waldman, president and CEO of Great Western Breweries, who beat out both Molson and Labatt for the right to sell beer at the shows, says the weekend will cause people from outside the province to take a fresh look at what's going on here.

"I think it's a situation where we're saying to the world, 'you're all invited. But the party's happenin' here'."

Song of the Week

"Fall to Pieces"- Avril Lavigne


I looked away
Then I look back at you
You try to say
The things that you can't undo
If I had my way
I'd never get over you
Today's the day
I pray that we make it through

Make it through the fall
Make it through it all

[Chorus:]
And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
Cuz I'm in Love With you

You're the only one,
I'd be with till the end
When I come undone
You bring me back again
Back under the stars
Back into your arms

[Chorus]

Wanna know who you are
Wanna know where to start
I wanna know what this means

Wanna know how you feel
Wanna know what is real
I wanna know everything, everything

[Chorus without last line]

[Chorus]

I'm in love with you
Cuz i'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you

Quote of the Day

"Here is the most valuable 'insider's tip' I can come up with: Before declaring your affection in blind hope that she may return it, get to know who she really is. This sounds cliche, but I really mean it. It has been my experience that crushes are often based on an idea of a person, not on who the person actually is. We tend to idealize those we are interested in. I'll let you in on something: I want to be loved for who I am, not who you think I am or want me to be. I am pretty sure this is one of the few bits of advice that is going to apply to all women across the spectrum." - Lisa Laplante

Cadbury Commercial Part 2

Some totally disturbing news... there is more than one of the "wouldn't it be nice" commercials.... These things apparently aired down in Austrailia before coming to Canada and as best as I can tell there are 6 of them.

Lyrics:

Lyrics for Part One - The Surfing Surfer
Wouldn't it be nice if the world were Cadbury?
You could surf inside a chocolate tube
Ride your board across the wave forever
Get wiped out and never get a bruise
And if a shark came up and tried to bite you
You could say 'I'm chocolate - I invite you'
Wouldn't it be nice?

Lyrics for Part Two - Postal madness
Wouldn't it be nice if the world were Cadbury?
Chocolate roads and trees and birds and bees
Delivering all kinds of letters daily,
Every kind of purple parcel too.
And if the dog did try and grab a mouthful,
You could bite him back he'd taste delightful!
Wouldn't it be nice?

Lyrics for Part Three - Soccer superstar
Wouldn't it be nice if the world were Cadbury?
You could be a soccer super star.
The referee would blow his chocolate whistle,
A shot a goal would even break the bar.
And if you scored the winner
You could have the cup for your dinner.
Wouldn't it be nice?

Lyrics for Part Four (July 2003) - Family holiday
Wouldn't it be nice if the world were Cadbury?
Riding in the car would be a tasty treat.
Changing gears would soon become a problem
Cadbury dairy milk is so good to eat
When you arrive at your destination,
You'll be greeted with an exclamation!
Wouldn't it be nice?

Lyrics for Part Five (April 2005) - Maze crazy
Wouldn't it be nice if the world were Cadbury?
You could play inside a chocolate maze.
Run around and round to reach the middle
What a big surprise for you awaits.
If you couldn't find your way to freedom,
No need to run, just face the walls and eat 'em!
Wouldn't it be nice?

Lyrics for Part Six (August 2005) - At the movies
Wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury?
Going to the pics would so sweet
There'd be no need for munchies
Cadbury dairy milk is the perfect treat
If someone came and blocked your screen view
Just take a bite and make a hole to see through
Wouldn't it be nice?

Soccer Superstar

Cadbury Commercial

Alright so here you have it, it's either the best or worst commercial of all times. I hate it because it gets stuck in my head and I hate that the kid wiggles his butt and invites the shark to bite it. But it's a great campaign because it gets stuck in my head and makes me want chocolate.

Lyrics: (which are btw a parody of "Wouldn't it be Nice" by the Beach Boys)

Wouldn't it be nice if the world were Cadbury?
You could surf inside a chocolate tube
Ride your board across the wave forever
Get wiped out and never get a bruise
And if a shark came up and tried to bite you
You could say 'I'm chocolate - I invite you'
Wouldn't it be nice?

Hamsters Part 15

A few oversights, over the past few months I've backposted most of my blogs and I forgot to mention a few details that would make the story about Hedgehog'd death make sense.

About a month and a half ago we realized that Hedgehog was in fact a girl and not a boy as was previously thought, we realized this because she became pregnant and had babies. The babies were cannibablized by either mom or one of the two dads, still not sure on that one, so we decided to moved Hedgehog out of the cage with the boys so this wouldn't happen again and into the cage with the girls.

I got the hamsters new furniture while I was home in Ontario (from the 20th of Aug to the 10th of Sept), a living room set for the girls' cage and a car for the boys cage.

I traded up the cages so that the girls have their living room set in the gigi cage, the boys' had their car & house (or garage lol) in the playground cage, Kus had the safari cage and Mouse had the space cage. I did this shortly after I cam back, and and that is when we switched Hedgehog into the girls' cage. The hamsters fought a bit but nothing too serious, as they all always fight, so I thought nothing of it.

I've cleaned cages once or twice since then, and again nothing terrible had seemed to be going on and then the death. So I'm really not too sure what happened there.

I've cleaned cages once since then

"Wild One" - Faith Hill

They said change your clothes
She said no I wont
They said comb your hair
She said some kids dont
And her parents dreams went up in smoke

They said you cant leave
She said yes I will
They said dont see him
She said his name is bill
Shes on a roll and its all uphill

Shes a wild one
With an angels face
Shes a woman-child
In a state of grace
When she was 3 years old on her daddys knee
He said you can be anything you want to be
Shes a wild one
Runnin free

She loves rock and roll
They said its satans tongue
She thinks theyre too old
They think shes too young
And the battle lines are clearly drawn

Shes a wild one
With an angels face
Shes a woman-child
In a state of grace
When she was 3 years old on her daddys knee
He said you can be anything you want to be
Shes a wild one
Runnin free

She has future plans and dreams at night
When they tell her life is hard she says thats alright

Shes a wild one
With an angels face
Shes a woman-child
In a state of grace
When she was 3 years old on her daddys knee
He said you can be anything you want to be
Shes a wild one
Runnin free

Hamsters Part 14

In a shocking turn of events the hamsters have turned to cannibalism!

I went to clean the cages today and there were only 3 hamsters in the girls cage. I couldn't bring myself to dig through the bedding to find the dead body, that I thought I would inevitably find, on my own so I had Mark come over to do it for me.

After much searching in the cage he found bones and a bit of fur, the only remains of Hedgehog.

Apparently they fighting that has been going on for the past few weeks has been more that "just a little fighting". I'm not sure when exactly it happened. For sure there were four hamsters in the cage on Tuesday, but that was the last time I honestly took a good look. A friend of mine suggested if the corpse has been there, having died from natural causes, the hamsters may have eaten it in order to keep their environment clean.

I'd like to think that was the scenario, that I simply did not remove the corpse quickly enough, and not the alternative that the other hamsters ganged up on, killled and ate one of their own.

Hello Baby ESPN: Father Names Son After Sports Network
2006-10-07 15:07:02 GMT
Nicole King - All Headline News Staff Writer

Biloxi, MS (AHN) - Even the nurses couldn't believe it. A Mississippi couple named their newborn son ESPN after the sports network.

ESPN Montana Real was born this week at Biloxi Regional Medical Center. ESPN's (pronounced Espen) mother, Leann Real promised her husband if they ever had a son, he would get to pick the name. Rusty Real is an avid sports fan.

The Montana in baby ESPN's name comes from football great Joe Montana. And baby ESPN isn't alone with his unusual name. There are at least three other ESPNs in the world according to a 2005 report from tivocommunity.com.

iTunes Library Updater

Found a little app that might be of interest to people wh, like me, enjoy some of the features of iTunes but hate others. I personally love that it will tell me how many days worth of music I have stored on my computer (currently 27.3!!!) but I hate that it doesn't sync with my computer as well as it does with my iPod.

A solution!

This program allows you to pick folders you essentially want to sync with iTunes, it automatically deletes dead links in iTunes and puts in songs that haven't been added. Very helpful. :)

The Church of Google

Well here's blasphemy at it's finest. Someone has decided that Google is a god (note the small g) that deserves it's own church, you gotta know someone is going to hell for this...

Here's the main statement from the website:

"We at the Church of Google believe a convincing argument can be made stating that the search engine Google is the closest mankind has ever come to directly experiencing an actual God (as typically defined). Supernatural gods are rejected on the notion they are inherently unprovable. Thus, Googlists believe Google should rightfully be given the title of "God", as She exhibits a great many of the characteristics traditionally associated with such Deities.

Gods are typically defined by their unique attributes, such as being all-knowing, all-seeing, ever present, the ability to answer prayers, being immortal, remembering all, and of course Deities must "do no evil". Google exhibits all of these characteristics perfectly. In the absence of imaginary, supernatural beings, Google is certainly the closest thing humankind has to a true God.

Googlists do not believe in the supernatural. We believe virtually all "gods" before Google were purely based on man made, fictional beings. We do not claim Google is supernatural in any way. She, like all other gods before Her, is the creation of man. No faith is required to believe in Her, for we consider the concept of belief without evidence (faith) to be of the utmost intellectual laziness."

Rogers saying 9 11

I called up Rogers today and the man was explaining my cell phone bill to me... he says "oh and there's the nine eleven charge on here."

How weird is that... he meant the 9-1-1 charge, as in the number to call police, but I wonder if that's what people now think of 9-11 as, a reason to call police.

Odd.

"I Just Wanna Be Mad" - Terri Clark

Last night we went to bed not talkin,
cause wed already said too muh.
I faced the wall, you faced the window.
Bound and determined not to touch.

Weve been married seven years now.
Sometimes it feels like 21.
Im still mad at you this mornin.
Coffees ready if you want some.
Ive been up since five, thinkin bout me and you.
And Ive got to tell you the conclusion Ive come to.

Ill never leave, Ill never stray.
My love for you will never change.
But I aint ready to make up.
Well get around to that.
I think Im right, I think youre wrong.
Ill probly give in before long.
Please dont make me smile.
I just wanna be mad for a while.

Well, now you might as well forget it.
Dont run your fingers through my hair.
Yeah, thats right, Im bein stubborn.
No, I dont wanna go back upstairs.
Im gonna leave for work without a goodbye kiss.
But as Im drivin off, just remember this.

Ill never leave, Ill never stray.
My love for you will never change.
But I aint ready to make up.
Well get around to that.
I think Im right, I think youre wrong.
Ill probly give in before long.
Please dont make me smile.
I just wanna be mad for a while.

I started them back when I was 16 but the guy I was dating (who owned the books) and I broke up when I was 20 or so and the series wasn't finished coming out yet so I never finished it then, so I've gotten them all now and am diligently working through it. Book four so far!

So what is Left Behind? Well it's a series of books about the Evangelical Christian view of God's rapture of his church and the tribulation period that follows that even before the Glorious Appearing of Christ.

They have made a companion set of books called Tribulation Kids that are junior reader books, there is also a series of comic books and thus far 3 feature length movies that loosely cover the events of the first 3 books (with many artisitc liberties.)

"Left Behind is a series of novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, dealing with Christian dispensationalist End Times: pretribulation, premillennial, Christian eschatology viewpoint of the end of the world. Left Behind is also the title of the first book in the series. It is published by Tyndale House, a firm with a history of interest in dispensationalism." - Wikipedia

sofa king good

"Sofa King is a double entendre used as a gag name for a furniture store specializing in sofas. The name came to prominence in a 2000 Mancow Muller radio show, where the radio personality played a hoax ad, described the store as being "Sofa King great" and having prices that were "Sofa King low". Phrases like these were obviously intended to sound like "so f**king great" and "so f**king low", resulting in a January 18, 2000 complaint being filed against Mancow with the Federal Communications Commission. The complaint was dismissed." - Wikipdedia

First day on my own :)

My roomies moved out today and thus I embark on tha adventure that is living on my own.

This is the first time in my life that I have had no one living with me!!

Foreseeable problems:
- Boredom
- No one to change lightbulbs
- No one to take care of me if I get sick

Advantages:
- I can walk aroun naked
- I can eat, sleep, whatever, whenever I want
- No watching or listening to shows/songs I don't like

I think it'll be quite an experience :)

Horoscopes & MSN

The msn article today was entitled "The Truth Behind Horoscopes". I opened it thinking, oh good here's a piece about the thought that goes into horoscopes, maybe a fresh perspective on horoscopes... at the very least a few thoughts about why I should read them... The tag line promised to at least let me know if I should waste my time so I figued at least that question would be answered... how wrong I was!

Now you have to understand I'm only frustrated because they wrote common knowledge into an article, with typos I might add, and then promoted it as the article to read to gain insight into the worth of reading horoscopes, on the hotmail/msn site. I feel totally jipped and that I wasted my time.

I've highlighted the "relevent" sections of this article, by reading the highlights you'll get the full summary of what this article speaks of... all common sense!

Here's the article:

The Truth Behind Horoscopes
Horoscopes promise to predict how our day will go, but are they really worth reading?
by Krisztina Virag, TheSoko.com

Whether flipping through the daily while riding the subway or browsing the life section online, studies say three out of every four people who look at a paper check out their horoscope.

I guess I'd be person number four. But when I'm feeling uncertain, or questioning something in my life, I too sit down and look up my daily horoscope.

Do I necessarily believe my horoscope is true, or that the planets are responsible for what happens to me? Um, no. With all this confusion surrounding the valid title of Pluto, who can have much confidence in astrology?

Two Sides to the Story
Experts and non-experts alike have strong opinions about the validity of horoscopes. The believers think that though horoscopes are vague enough to allow for many interpretations, the stars are indeed responsible for the decisions we make each day.

Some of these believers hold the moon most responsible. They say its effect on ocean tides applies to the human body as well in that it affects fluid retention, which alters our judgment.

On another side of the debate is a group that supports horoscopes, but does not necessarily find them vital or super accurate. For this group, horoscopes are like fortune cookies--their validity is dependent upon whether we believe in them, and not on the paths of the stars.

The power of suggestion is strong. Many people unconsciously think about the normal stuff they go through every day in such a way that it aligns with their horoscope.

A Tool to Deflect the Blame
Magic or not, the US Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal has had its share of debate surrounding horoscopes. A spokesman for the committee found that horoscopes serve as a scapegoat for many who read them.

If you believe in your horoscope, the blame for a bad decision falls upon the unfavorable celestial alignment of the stars, rather then faults within the your actions or character. It's handy to have something out of your control to rail against when things just aren't going your way.

Even though there are countless 'experts' who discredit horoscopes, the public seems not to listen. Internet statistics show that the word 'horoscope' is one of the top most popular searches, just below 'porn' but ahead of 'ebay'.

Entertainment or Advice?
Antoinette Trusel, a California-based astrologist, says she hopes people read their horoscopes purely for entertainment, and that no one is basing important decisions on what their daily blurb tells them to do.

Particularly female teenagers, whose lives are filled with what they deem to be dramatic events and questions--to which horoscopes seem to have the hidden answers--tend to read their horoscopes devotedly. Some teens take their horoscope pretty seriously, even making it a part of their morning ritual.

salt your morning paper well
The experts, regardless of whether they are believers or non-believers, do have one bit of common advice: take your horoscope with a grain of salt.

Those with more experience in life than others know to take horoscopes for what they probably are--the daily creations of astrologers who are very talented creative writers.

Each of us needs to decide for ourselves whether horoscopes are legitimate. I for one will continue to read my horoscope at the end of the night--when karma has already taken care of my day.

Song of the Week

THE SCOTSMAN'S SONG

Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh Ring di-diddle-aye-oh He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by One says to the other, with a twinkle in her eye "See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built? I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt."

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh Ring di-diddlee-aye-oh "I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt."

They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman, quiet as could be Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see And there behold for them to view, beneath his Scottish skirt, Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh Ring di-diddlee-aye-oh Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.

They marveled for a moment then one said, "We must be gone. Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along." As a gift, they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show.

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh Ring di-diddlee-aye-oh Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show.

Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call And stumbled towards a treeBehind the bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees And in a startled voice, he said to what's before his eyes "Lad, I don't know where ye been, but I see ye won first prize!"

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh Ring di-diddlee-aye-oh "Lad, I don't know where ye been, but I see ye won first prize!

Advice to Live By...

I got this in a fwd, it's something I've read before, as I'm sure many of you have. I think it's the best bit of advice though and I wnted to share it all with you.

Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second.

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.

12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

14. Whatever happens, happens for a reason.
