SORRY DAY!

The Parliament has formally apologised to the aborigines and the stolen generation!

Our government did the same and has settled monetarily with the Native Americans but is it really enough after the horrific treatment they received? I'll have to read up on how it is in Australia. Here it is an atrocity.

Australia's apologies are far superior to those of our government. Our government didn't involve the citizens.

Here in the States, instead of apologizing, we let them build casinos. Now they can take their stuff back, one loser gambler at a time. :)

I said in my mom's earshot once to a friend that my head hurt, and she interjected "Then stop piercing your ears!" At the time I had 5 in my left ear, and 2 in my right. Still, I have no idea what that was supposed to mean.

It meant your mother disapproved of your piercings, I'd bet.

My leg hurts.




Actually... on thinking about it, most bits of me hurt. I think I'll go to bed.

hmmm. that's five earthquakes in the vicinity of 5.0 in the last day or so, and a bunch of smallers, all out by calexico.

now, i just HAD to say "pwew", at least it's not fire season the other day... the cats are acting weird, the birds are acting weird, and the fish are ... being fish, what can i say. they're swimming around like fish.

gotta wonder, though. all the neighborhood cats that usually greet me when i walk in from the street are not around. (insert lines from "paranoia can destroy ya" here). :lol:

too bad i don't know any good bookies these day.

(sorry about your leg, lau. must be from all the tugging on it.) :wink:

I searched for an image of "pierced toes with aching toenails" to post here.
DO NOT
I repeat
DO NOT
search this image, as you may succeed in finding it.
8O 8O 8O :eew:

ow, how do you do that chuck scrub images from your brain ?
doesn't seem like an easy task...

i have too many images in my head for the moment, and words
i'm unemployed again, so every job i read about creates this multi possibilities again, so exhausting ...

I used brane EraSURE software remoovall! Worx gr8!! !

Good luck Lemon!! ! If you are getting frustrated - punch Lau. He's sore all over already anyway. But don't pierce your ears, you'll get a headache. Which will lead to comments, which will lead to postings, ...which will eventually lead to me having to scrub my eyeballs all over again.

I will think of a good job for you as I workout at the gym this morning. Brane storming session!! ! :D (I do my best thinking when I'm not using my barane.) Now, don't go hiding. This will be good, I assure you. :wink:

....Ok, back from the gym. I'm afraid I may contribute to your "multi-possibilities" problem Lemon, as a lot of great job ideas sprung inside my head. But maybe you've never considered yourself inside of one of these roles, and maybe they'll help you decide on a new career, or narrow down your search for one:

1. Goddess. May as well start at the top, I say. This job has lots of positives, a few negatives, and a few perks. Being able to cast jerks into Cerberus' dog bowl in and of itself should make you take a serious look at this job. Now, keeping all the other Gods and Goddesses straight, and who has what powers, and who is married to whom, and which one is the other's kid, blah, blah, blah, etc. gets confusing (and they are a backstabbing quarrelsome bunch). Plus, the whole "prostrating and beseeching" thing would get a little old. But casting lightning bolts would be a blast!! ! :D And there's the whole immortality thing! Worth a look.
Image

2. Dictator of the World. Not a bad job. Plus, you don't have to be elected! You just declare yourself "Dictator", then do whatever you want whenever you want to. :D Of course, no one is going to pay attention to you unless you can scare the bejeebus out of them. That's where the "shrink/restore" ray comes in. You show the world that you can shrink anything you want to - the Eiffel Tower, an army dispatched against you, anything, unless they do as you say. :twisted: Muahahahahaha! And you can restore shrunk stuff to its original size - if everyone behaves. [Then you just shrink the world whenever you want to rest, and you'll never have to worry about being assassinated in your sleep.]

I almost have the "shrink/restore" ray figured out. It has something to do with my washing machine. I have perfected "shrink", but I haven't figured out "restore" at all yet. However, if this job interests you, it's going to be a possibility in the near future.

3. Leader of a country. Ok, this is a step down, ok several steps down, from what you have already been doing. But the parking perks aren't bad. Plus whenever there is a problem, all you have to do is turn and look directly at the person standing next to you and say, "Take care of it." A third grader could do this!! ! :lol: Here's a group of third graders taking "leader of a country" class, (one is cheating off the others):
Image
The best part: whether you finish your term or not, you can write a book afterwards and make millions and never have to work again!! ! :D :D :D (I know, I know, it's a complete waste of your talents, and unworthy of consideration except by those unable to do anything else, ...but if you hold your nose and get "comatose drunk" for 4 years - you could survive it).

I'll post these for your perusal, then be back with more...

4. Ninja. Need I say more? Coolest job in the world! :D Plus, if you don't show up for work, who's gonna know?!? You are the wind , a shadow ... nobody knows where you are anytime!! ! Plus you get to wear these really comfortable pajama footies while you work:
Image
In fact, check out all this really cool gear you'd get to use:
http://www.karatedepot.com/ninja_weapons.html
This job would be hard to beat.

5. Live Animal Jewelry Designer: You could be the world's first!! ! :D The possibilities are endless! You could genetically engineer your own species - designed to protect the wearer from strangers, or just for show! Poison arrow frog earrings! Cobra bracelets! I foresee possible problems training the animals, and/or lawsuits resulting from allergic reactions induced in wearers, and deaths of innocent bystanders. And PETA could be a nuisance. But done right, this could be BIG. Fun and profitable as well.

oh my. hey, that thing about dictator of the world is dangerously close to my already spoken-for job, empress of the americas. don't go giving away territories, now. mineminemineminemine! i've even got minions-in-training going.

ok. my ego. my poor ego. i rode the trolley in to the transit center. then i hopped the bus to work. packed, had to stand the whole way up. full of guys going to the VA hospital. (Felt bad for 'em, a lot of 'em had canes and stuff and still had to stand.) and granted i was wearing my navy peacoat purcased from storman norman's gift botique and fine clothing emporium, used (good warm coat, cheap). but after a buncha stops, a seat opened up and the guy standing next to me, with his cane, said "you wanna sit there, bro?". i just shook my head no so he could sit down. but....

ummmm... wah? :roll: :? :( bro???
