This is right on the mark if you ask me. But don’t ya think they could have used a sexy man cop photo? pffft

You Should Wear a Cop Costume

Your brand of sexy is in charge and in control. You know what you want, and you know how to get it. You act boldly and speak your mind. If someone looks good to you, you make your move. People find you attractive because you’re confident. You work what you’ve got. You are comfortable in your own skin, and you wouldn’t change a thing about yourself – and that’s part of what makes you sexy.

You Are the Left Side of the Brain

Pffft…fall for his or her best friend. I don’t think so.

You Crave Inspiration

You are optimistic about both your present and your future. Things are going well for you. You see love as companionship. You’re the type of person who would fall for his or her best friend. You expect other people to respect you. You are respectful of them in return. Your inner child is whimsical. You still have an amazing imagination.

You Are Simply Fun

You’re out to have a blast, and you enjoy almost any activity. You are naturally upbeat. You don’t need to have a wild time to live it up, but you don’t object to a little adventure either. You don’t get bored easily. You can always figure out a way to entertain you and your friends. You are creative and resourceful. You think a lot of things can be fun – it’s all about attitude.

You would like to have the latest gadgets and be up on the best new vacation spots and restaurants. In your ideal life, you’d have enough leisure time and money to try out the latest and greatest everything. The future is only coming more quickly, and you definitely want to be part of it.

2. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.

4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

6. Congress loses their current healthcare system and participates in the same healthcare system as the American people.

7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.

The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.

Okay I’m gonna say straight up I don’t believe in stress. I think it’s all in your mind myself. And yes, that’s only my opinion. That being said:

You Are Not Stressed

You may have some stress in your life, but you’re coping quite well. You are able to find balance, and compared to most people, you aren’t stressed out. Consider helping out a friend or family member who is experiencing some stress. You are in a great position, and better off than almost everyone else in the world.

Well this is sorta true. I hate shopping however. pffft

You Are Oahu

You’re a big city person, and you need the bright lights of Honolulu to keep you entertained. You enjoy fine dining and high quality entertainment. You’re definitely looking for the best. You are attracted to culture of all sorts, and you will appreciate Oahu’s museums and historical sites. Not to mention some of the best shopping in the world, which is sure to keep a smile on your face!

Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were.

The first man was an Engineer,
The second man was an Accountant,
The third man was a Chemist, and
The fourth man was a Government Employee.

To show off, the Engineer called his cat, ‘T-square, do your stuff.’

T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle.

Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.

But the Accountant said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, ‘Spreadsheet, do your stuff.’

Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies.

Everyone agreed that was good.

But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said, ‘Measure, do your stuff.’

Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces into the glass without spilling a drop.

Everyone agreed that was pretty good.

Then the three men turned to the Government Employee and said, ‘What can your cat do?’ The Government Employee called his cat and said, ‘CoffeeBreak, do your stuff.’

CoffeeBreak jumped to his feet…….

Ate the cookies……..
Drank the milk…….
S**t on the paper…….
Screwed the other three cats…….
Claimed he injured his back while doing so……..
Filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions…….
Put in for Workers Compensation…………….and
Went home for the rest of the day on sick leave…………

You Are Nintendo DS

You could be described as curious and creative. You like all sorts of things and are easily inspired. You are cute and sweet. You like playing video games, but you shy away from anything too intense. You are a natural introvert. You’re more likely to want to concentrate on a game than play with a friend. You like to be in your own private world. You never know when you’ll be up for a game, so you like to take your gaming on the go.

You Should Eat

It’s likely that you’ve been going through a hard time, and you need to rest and refuel. You could do with some nourishment, and not just the caloric kind. It’s time to take care of yourself. You find happiness when you put your own needs first. You deserve the best, and you should be pampered more. Relax, indulge, and allow yourself to feel totally full. You’ve earned it.

You Are Roller Skates

You are easy going and a lot of fun. You are playful and a bit of a tease. You value stability and security. You want to be able to relax and focus on other things. You aren’t easily impressed by new gadgets. You prefer what’s tried and true. You have an eye to the past. You love anything that’s retro, vintage, or classic.

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl.

Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, “Tell me what you see.”

“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.

Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.
Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma the daughter then asked, “What does it mean, mother?”

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its insides became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.

“Which are you?” she asked her daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?

Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can’t go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.

Live your life so at the end, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

You might want to send this message to those people who mean something to you (I JUST DID); to those who have touched your life in one way or another; to those who make you smile when you really need it; to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down; to those whose friendship you appreciate; to those who are so meaningful in your life.

If you don’t (re)send it, you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone’s day with this message!

Don’t anyone say it! pffft

You Are Odd

You’re wonderfully weird, and you refuse to conform to make others comfortable. You are a true individual. You are proud of your quirks, and at times you even flaunt them. You don’t understand people who are normal and mainstream. There is so much more to the world than what’s conventional and popular. You investigate everything that piques your interest. You think it’s a tragedy to leave any stone unturned.

Ooo the Black Eyed Peas are one of my favorite groups. So I like this answer

You Are a Black Eyed Pea

You are a naturally energetic person, and you’ve always done things in your own, wacky way. You know that you’ll never fit in perfectly, and you never really even tried. Most people consider you to be extremely lucky. You may find friends hanging around you hoping that your luck will rub off a little. You’ve done well for yourself in life. You know how to thrive, and you’re good at keeping pests away.

Barbara Walters, of 20/20, did a story on gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands.

She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands.

Despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem to, and are happy to maintain the old custom.

Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, ‘Why do you now seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?’

The woman looked Ms. Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation said, “Land Mines.”

Moral of the story is that no matter what language you speak or where you go….

Your Autumn Personality is Adventurous

There’s something about a chill in the air that gets your blood pumping. /you’re ready to go have some fun. Consider hiking up your favorite mountain or spending a weekend at a bed and breakfast. You’re the type of person who likes to try all the new fall dishes and come up with the best Halloween costume. Go ahead and let yourself experience some new things this autumn. There’s lots to try!

James at Newtown Area Photo and Vicki at Lucy’s Cat Lounge celebrated their 23rd Wedding Anniversary yesterday. WOOT!! I hope you both had a wonderful day and I wish you many many more years. You two are the best Happy Anniversary

A woman was having a daytime affair while her husband was at work. One rainy day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror, she heard her husband’s car pull into the driveway.

“Oh my God – Hurry! Grab your clothes and jump out the window. My husband’s home early!”

“I can’t jump out the window. It’s raining out there!”

“If my husband catches us in here, he’ll kill us both!” she replied. “He’s got a hot temper and a gun, so the rain is the least of your problems!”

So the boyfriend scoots out of bed, grabs his clothes and jumps out the window! As he ran down the street in the pouring rain, he quickly discovered he had run right into the middle of the town’s annual marathon, so he started running along beside the others, about 300 of them. Being naked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to blend in as best he could.

After a little while a small group of runners who h ad been watching him with some curiosity, jogged closer.

“Do you always run in the nude?” one asked.

“Oh yes!” he replied, gasping in air.. “It feels so wonderfully free!”

Another runner moved along side. “Do you always run carrying your clothes with you under your arm?”

“Oh, yes” our friend answered breathlessly. “That way I can get dressed right at the end of the run and get in my car to go home!”

Then a third runner cast his eyes a little lower and asked, “Do you always wear a condom when you run?”

“Nope…just when it’s raining.”

You Are an Early Riser

You’re the type of person who just gets up early naturally. It’s easy for you to succeed in this world. It’s likely that you’ve been extremely productive before the day has really began. You wake up alert and refreshed. You tend to lose steam in the late afternoon and evening. Give yourself that time to rest. Even though you get a quick start, you don’t have to charge ahead all day long!
