Which Goddess lurks in your soul?

Hera

It is obvious that leadership is your strong suit! Hera was Queen of all the Greek Gods and the daughter of a Titan. This is no small boast! Hera is selective on who she inhabits and rightfully so. Only those of majestic grace and keen intellects are considered and she will leave in a heartbeat if her host is ungracious or in anyway corrupted by a powerful position. Like Hera, you are a true born leader of the people. Many have come to you over the years seeking guidance and patient understanding to their plights and pains. Your advice is usually rooted in the experiences of your own life and given with great care and caution. Continue on this path and Hera will make you a Queen worthy of remembrance!

History Mystery from Rene

2008-03-20T03:26:59Z

History Mystery

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

Creepy huh?

Hey, this is one history lesson most people probably will not mind reading! If you choose to pass it on.

How to Be a Fandom Jerk in Just a Few Easy Steps

Merlin Missy has been active in online fandom since 1994. She likes fanfics with plots and happy endings.

Making -isms work for you!
Now you, yes you, can learn how to bully people, shut down debate, and show the world just how big of a jerk you can really be. It'll require some effort, but the beauty is, it requires much less effort than the alternative. Ready? Here we go!
(Note: All pronouns in the following are set to "she." If you are offended by this, you are being too sensitive and need to get over it. See? First lesson already learned.)

First, when someone in your fandom points out that something that occurred in your show's canon can be construed as racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise Not Cool, start by telling the observer she's being too sensitive, that she's reading too much into the material, and that she needs to remember this is just entertainment. It's fantasy / science fiction / horror. If she continues, especially if she points out a pattern of problematic material in your series, you should tell her she's just looking for things to be offended about. (This is true! People are always looking for things to be offended about. You can tell because people are always getting offended about something, especially if those things have always been that way. Since you never noticed anything was wrong, it's probably all in her head. Or their heads.) Also, you should try the "Get a life" routine, because that always kills at parties.

If more fans agree with her, you'll need to get more active. Point out that you or someone you know / love / met on a plane once are / is a member of the group she says is being put down. (Remember, if you have a friend who's not white, you can't be a racist. If you're male and love your mother, you can't be a sexist, and women never ever support or contribute to misogyny. Come on, try it!) Tell her you're not offended and/or the person you know isn't offended, therefore it's not actually offensive. If she shows you a list of stereotypes that have been shown by your series, make sure you claim that a) you've never heard of those before (so she must be making them up) and/or b) you don't see that at all in the material (so she's trying to create trouble by pretending there's a problem when there isn't one). Also come up with a good list of excuses why it doesn’t count in this case. Examples: "The character in question isn’t human." "It was supposed to be a joke." The latter is especially good, because you can also accuse her of lacking a sense of humor.

Attack her vocabulary and choice of words. If she didn't bring it up earlier, attack her for being a hypocrite now, and ignore her if she tries to claim she's been worried about this for a while and/or has brought it up among friends. If she's ever said something that you (or someone else) might find offensive, use that against her as a reason she has no leg to stand on now. Bring up tangentially-related things that could also be found offensive, point out that she's never complained about those (or that no one ever has, if you can conveniently claim later that you had no idea) and again, use it to prove this particular example can't be so bad. If she's using any kind of metaphor in her posts, make sure you interpret it to mean she's trying to incite an overthrow of the show and completely change everything about it. The word "militant" is always good to use here. You definitely want to paint her as an extremist in her opinion, and you're the one trying to take the sane middle ground.

Be sure to bring up any example you can scrounge up of an exception to her argument. If she's complaining about misogyny, find a female character who hasn't been murdered, raped, marginalized, forgotten or lobotomized. (For some series, this may require a bit of digging, so be patient. Finding that one exception to rub in her face will feel so good!) If she's calling the series on racist undertones, focus on one episode where terrible things didn't happen to the characters of color, or better yet, point out that bad things happen to some white characters too. (Ignore her "percentages" nonsense. If five non-white characters were killed, and five white characters were killed, what does it matter if there were only five non-white characters on the entire series? We want absolutes!) Homophobia? Well, that's just being true to the character's nature.

Whatever you do, don't research. Don't learn about coded sexist language. Do not verse yourself in racist stereotypes. Don't become familiar with the current statistics about violence against women or homosexuals, and be sure to claim that, while there may have been some racism in the past, violence against people of color simply doesn't happen anymore and shouldn't be relevant. Claim to be colorblind (a handy phrase invented in the '70s by anti-affirmative action folks) so that you don't even notice things like the race of a character.

Claim that it's only realistic for so many women to be abused in fiction, and that you have always been a strong supporter of realism in your favorite series about muscle-bound, time-travelling rednecks from outer space who work with dragons and fight zombies for a living.

Make sure you claim that events, costumes, and so on are equally exploitative. For example, if you're a superhero fan, point out that it's exactly the same thing to show a fully-clothed man in spandex showing off his muscles as it is to have a close-up on a woman in a strapless bathing suit, emphasis on the folds at her crotch. If two characters of color are shown in a knock-out, drag-down brawl while the other (white) characters are standing around, cheering and betting on the outcome, point out that white characters have punched people before, so it's exactly the same.

Whine that you're being oppressed. This is important! The other fan and her friends are coming from a place of centuries of wrongs piled on wrongs, of attitudes so deeply ingrained in Western society that it takes a backhoe just to dig them up in the first place, much less start setting them aside. They might possibly have the moral high ground here. You cannot allow this to happen. You must, and I cannot stress this enough, claim that your opinion is not being valued. You must whine that although your verbal opponent is discussing a case of intolerance in the series, she is being intolerant of your right not to have your squee harshed. You are the victim here! You are the one being hurt! Your right to enjoy your show without having to think at all about the deeper social meanings of the stories unfolding before you on the screen is being jeopardized! All you wanted was some mindless entertainment and the opportunity to meta about it for hours with your friends online. You didn't want to hear about why it's unsettling to see three female characters of color end up in maid uniforms in one season. It's just not fair. Your freedom of speech is being limited. (Um. You'll have to dig for that one on your own, but I'm sure you can come up with something.)

Make it all about you. We're fans, we're good at that. The other fan and her friends will likely be using "I" constructs. ("I feel this is a problem." "I'm really bothered by the recurrence of this particular trope.") Use your "I" statements wisely to say that everyone has an opinion and is entitled *cough* to that opinion. You can agree to disagree, as long as nothing at all changes on the series, right?

Never ever under any circumstances admit you're wrong. Even if she can cite chapter and verse about the skeevy fate of every character of color on the show. Even if she proves beyond a doubt that what you thought was a joke was actually rape. Even if the character in question, in the very next episode, starts quoting Adolf Hitler (Godwin! Hooray!) and says s/he fully supports the Final Solution. It's still just an opinion, and one come to by interpreting the text from the wrong perspective by a humorless militant. You're just disagreeing.

Finally, defriend everyone who disagrees with you, who said something elsewhere unflattering about your position, and/or who has the wrong character in her icons list. Those people aren't your friends anyway and you're better off without them stinking up your Friends list. Start up a new community all about the squee. If you happen to see her or her friends be happy about a later episode, be sure not to point out any racism or misogyny that you see in it for the purposes of actual discussion, but do ask why the "feminists / radicals / pick your word here but be sure they know you mean them" aren't up in arms over XYZ. When they explain why XYZ isn't offensive, either pick a fight over their previous arguments (even better if this takes place more than a year later) or do your very best to have zero understanding of what the difference is between an episode where a black lesbian is captured and assaulted versus an episode where she is briefly captured, then frees herself and her friends, and single-handedly beats up the villain. (This should be easy. If you've come this far on your journey, you probably really don't get it anyway.)

Congratulations! You are now officially an Internet jerk! Your prize is the much-coveted Golden Boot Award. Guess where you can shove it?

(For the purposes of not offending her regular readers, Doctor Merlin assumes those who regularly visit her column understand the nature and purpose of over-the-top satire. Doctor Merlin and Firefox News do not endorse or condone the shoving of actual boots, golden or otherwise, into any orifice. Doctor Merlin does endorse and condone self-education, and she strongly encourages the twin paths of "trying to do better next time" and "be excellent to one another".)

I called Education Resource Inc today to find out the difference in the HOBET and NET test, and whether I needed to switch out my registry. The answer thankfully is no. The HOBET and the NET are the same test they are just scored differentially.

Of course that doesn't make any sense to me, but what can I do about it?

I called the Vo-Tech to check and make sure my two letters of reference made it to the correct people along with the Radiology shadowing form.

The Letters of reference are there and on file. I'm not surprised by that at all Dr. Carlton can be scatter brained, but he knew that this was important to me and, Mrs Corrado is a awesome teacher.

The shadowing wasn't there. Shadowing I did two weeks ago that my feet are just getting around to forgiving me for.

*sigh*

I called Muskogee Regional and talked to Todd Shafer, the head of the Radiology department who is an absolute, complete, and total ass, and who if I get my way will be my boss soon. Of course he tells me in his condescending way that he faxed it. I asked him to resend it to the attention of Mrs. Porter at her direct fax line. The jackass informs me he just doesn't have time right now he'll do it later.

How fucking hard is it to have a flunky (bastard has four) take 15 seconds and fax something?

My God.

1. put in number.

2. place paper in slot.

3. hit send.

4. walk away.

So fucking hard.

Considering I did this on the 21 of last month I'll scared he has long since thrown out the form and I'll have to go to Muskogee, get a new form, plead for the bastard to fill it out again, and hand deliver the confidential form to the appropriate people (which I'm not supposed to be able to do) because this fool has a God complex and is too fucking stupid to use a fax machine, or have a flunky do it for him. I'm sorry your so God Damn special what do you want me to do kiss your ass. You answer a phone all day. Your a glorified secretary. Get over your ego trip.

Jackass.

Hopefully I can get it straightened out tomorrow and get that load off my mind.

Just when you think it is safe to breathe a sigh of relief...... some other shit happens.

Last year we bought a new 56 inch cut huskavarner lawn mower. Bear in mind we have 7 acres to mow. When the rains hit this year we sent it back to have the deck worked on. (We had used it three times.) The mower came back and still wasn't fixed so back it went having been used a grand total of four times. NINE fucking weeks later we get it back the hood is scratched and the seat is split open and the deck is still not fixed.

The idiot bitch who runs the place told my mom that she needed to sit in her truck or she would call the cops before giving her a $60 bill. Which didn't get paid.

Petty shit. It is always something.

One something is I just spent a couple hours PUSH mowing about four acres.

...............

Yes I am sooooooo happy. Really I am just disgusted, and tired. Very very tired.

Lusco Brick has paid, and so has Rasheal however, Trinity, and Borel have not out of the $16,000.00 we have out we have received 2,000.00. Our fuel cards are all but maxed out. Somethings gotta give, or we won't be running next week.

Drama is my life

2007-07-29T21:46:51Z

Okay one great big update on my life such as it is.

In May my dad lost his job. Bill McBride is an evil petty man who will get his right along with his gleeful shit stirring son. More on that later.

Now bear in mind that my dad lost his job the day I enrolled in summer school with all the fees that that implies. One thing my dad can truly say is HE has put me through college. Even if I have had to help on occasion.

It took us two months for to get our road authority active, and the truck insured, legal, and tagged, only for the man over the dispatch of Acme Brick to tell us no you need more insurance and a fucked up clause absolving Acme of all responsibility in the case of an accident. $2500.00 down later we are the only company contracted to Acme in compliance with the new legal bullshit yet we still haven't hauled a load of Acme brick. More on that later.

My mom called the stone company Mac Pac uses as a back haul to get out of Arkansas and received complete sole rights to haul their stone basically getting Kevin thrown out. One thing that needs to be said is the world at large HATES kevin McBride, from people on the streets, to loaders, and dispatchers, he is universally hated so it has been easy for my mom to usurp his place in the hierarchy and in some cases loads. (ignore the gleeful cackle)

My dad has been working to weeks during that time the truck he was driving blew and injector we had to take it to the shop last weekend $1500.00 later we got it back today. The fact that we had to switch the trucks out and spend a week running illegally is beside the point.

Monday my mom sent out the billing nearly $6000.00 in total. She went to the post office and had the envelopes weighed and the postmaster put the postage on them himself. Three of them can back to us with a no postage stamp.

We have gone seven weeks without a check aside from my moms measly unemployment check and is is going to take 7 to 14 days to get the money coming in and the stupid bastard can't stamp an envelope. Now we're delayed another two days. I think the post office should have had to overnight it at no cost to us, but no. If he hadn't recognized my mom he would have tried to charge us again. At this pint it would have been funny to see my mom blow.

I have said Kevin Mcbride is hated by everyone in the world well he is also a fool. Week two started off with my dad picking up a load in Mineral Wells Texas. Kevin got wind of this and called Andy, the man over the dispatch for the company and had the nerve to tell him he couldn't believe that he would load my dad before one of Mac Pac's trucks. Andy hates kevin almost as much as my mom and he told him sorry first come first serve, so Kevin being the smart man that he is called Dave who is over the plant and accused him of showing favoritism and basically insulted the piss out of him, this got back to mom who called Andy and told him what was going on. Andy didn't know Kevin had gone behind his back and promised he would take care of Kevin.

My dad once told Bill McBride that he was the only man he new who would stomp on his own dick and when he left the office for the last time that they had a gentleman's agreement to the effect that if Bill would stay out of his business he would keep my mom out of his. Well Kevin has stuck his nose in our business and jumped up and down feet first on his dads dick.

Mom knows right where all of Bills skeletons are buried and she has a sexual harassment suite against him and at this point she is thinking about getting out the shovel and filing a suite.

I try my damdest to be a nice .......... Really! I do.

You Are an Old Soul

You are an experienced soul who appreciates tradition.
Mellow and wise, you like to be with others but also to be alone.
Down to earth, you are sensible and impatient.
A creature of habit, it takes you a while to warm up to new people.

You hate injustice, and you're very protective of family and friends
A bit demanding, you expect proper behavior from others.
Extremely independent you don't mind living or being alone.
But when you find love, you tend to want marriage right away.

Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul and Visionary Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

Is there any warrior or visionary souls out there?

I am not a turtle even If I walk slower than one.

Having spent the last three days walking around looking like the letter C on legs I am happy to say I am upright and walking straight even if it is on crutches. I saw Dr. Wynn yesterday at 8:00 in the friggen morning not that I wasn't up. Sleeping is a bitch when your back hurts. Dr Wynn told me I knocked the third fourth and fifth lumbar's out of place. I took my Bio test. I'll be damned if I don't have that one test cushion. Damn Dr Carlton's no make up policy. I sat through humanities. I went back to Dr. Wynn's not that I didn't know but he told me my back had locked up again. I thought I was never going to make it to my pick up. I had to have my mom meet me in the hall.

I guess I'm just stubborn.

I let my mom take my truck to M & J's. I have new tires which according to my mom makes my truck ride 100% better no more bumps and shit.

I wanna die

God help me I popped my back out of place today. It hurts like a bitch, a mother fucker even. I have to go to the chiropractor tomorrow at 8:00 and hopefully be home changed and on the road by 9:30 so I can take a Biology test that if I miss I can't retake. Life is sucking major ass at the moment.
