“Hope is
the thing with feathers,
that perches in the soul,
and sings the tune
without the words,
and never stops at all.”

Emily Dickinson

3 questions...

Question 1:
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who
were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?

Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.

Question 2:
It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.
Here are the facts about the three candidates. Who would you vote for?

Candidate A.
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist.
He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B.
He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in
college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

Candidate C
He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an
occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.

Which of these candidates would be our choice?

Decide first... no peeking, then scroll down for the response.






Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.

And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question:
If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven.
Pretty interesting isn't it? Makes a person think before judging someone.

Wait till you see the end of this note! Keep reading..
Never be afraid to try something new.
Remember:

Amateurs...built the ark.
Professionals...built the Titanic

And Finally, can you imagine working for a company that has a little more
than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year...

Can you guess which organization this is?
It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.

The same group that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to
keep the rest of us in line.

I've got the spirit**

It finally FEELS like Christmas...Last night we ordered some sushi, got some wine, and decorated our ever so fabulous evergreen/cypress tree, charlie brown style..LOVE IT..

Also moved around some of the bottles I've collected, to create a more festive feel.(Do i sound like Martha Stewart..?)
I made this frame for Jeremy & I..See we've never really decorated for Christmas..and everything i make, i tend to give away..

And this is an awesome tree jeremy's mom gave me..


Now i just have to tackle wrapping presents, finish shopping, and i'll be DONE...
I love the holidays!
oh and FYI: I finally got around to uploading some pics for the meteor shower blog, if you're interested in taking a peek..
Peace out!
