I've always been a last minute shopper, hehehe. I've been planning to buy some presents since, but cannot get myself moving. I've been doing this for years, how about you?

Anyhow, I just wanted to say "advance Merry Christmas, and a Prosperous New Year to all." Peace and enjoy the holidays...

1 AnswerPacking & Preparation1 decade agoIs anyone love this poem? I called it "Food for Thought"?
I always take my time and moment to say goodbye with my family, with hugs and kisses. We may never know what happened every time we are out somewhere.
Also, try to learn how to forgive and forget with others. I hope this poem helps you think, that we are only here temporarily,enjoying our life the best we can. Cheers everyone...
A Food For Thought
I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jump up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could reach at ease...
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give the souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God! held a book;
It was the Book Of Life.
God looked into his book and said
'Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time'

8 AnswersSecurity1 decade agoTaxes, is this (poem) joke funny or not?
Taxes
Tax his land,tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.
Tax his tractor, tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.
Tax his cow, tax his goat,
Tax his pants,tax his coat.
Tax his ties,tax his shirt,
Tax his work,tax his dirt.
Tax his chew,tax his smoke,
Teach him taxes is no joke.
Tax his car,tax his gravel,
Tax the road he must travel.
Tax his tobacco,tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his booze,tax his beers,
If he cries,tax his tears.
Tax his bills,tax his gas,
Tax his note,tax his cash.
Tax him good and let him know,
That after taxes, he has no dough.
If he hollers,tax him more,
Tax him until he's is good and sore.
Tax his coffin, tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.
Put this words upon his tomb,
"Taxes put me to my doom!"
And when he's gone we won't relax,
We'll then collect the inheritance TAX.
8 AnswersJokes & Riddles1 decade agoStimulus Payment info.,funny or not. Has anyone seen this before?
"This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment". This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using a Q and A format:
Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q.Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen.
Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high deffinition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China?
A. Shut up.
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely;
If you spend that money at Walmart, it will go to China.
If you spend it on gasoline, it will go to the Arabs.
If you purchase a computer, it will go to India. If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Central America (unless you buy organic)
If you buy a car it will go to Japan.
If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan.
And none of it will help the economy.
We need to keep that money here in America by spending it at yard sales, going to baseball game, or spend it on to p***titutes, beer and wine (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US!

4 AnswersHoroscopes1 decade agoWhat is the big difference between the Decanates and Cusps and what makes you think has the biggest influence?
Each Astrological sign is divided into three parts, and each parts called Decanates or Decan. The Greek word dekanoi meaning "10 days apart". Each decanates represents a Costellation with the primary ruler and subruler.
Example for Sagittarrius:
1st Decanates (Nov 22-Dec1
Keyword: Honesty
Constellation: Ophiuchus, the Serpent-Holder.
Planetary ruler/subruler: Jupiter
2nd Decanates: Dec2-Dec11
Keyword:Drive
Constellation:Sagitta, the Arrow that killed the eagle.
Planetary Ruler: Jupiter/subruler- Mars
3rd Decanates Dec12-Dec21
Key word: Intuition
Constellation:Ara, the Altar of Dionysus
Planetary Ruler: Jupiter/subruler- Sun
Cusp- is the point at which a new Astrological begins, ie Cusp of Sagittarius. When someone is being "born on the cusp" he or she is referring to a birth time at or near the beginning or the end of an Astrological sign as the (example shown below under Sag. sign)...
The Cusps of Sagittarius
1) Born Nov 22 through Nov 26: You are Sagittarius with Scorpio tendencies.
2) Born Dec 17 through Dec 21: You are Sagittarius with Capricorn tendencies.
Now based on the Decanates and Cusps of this Sun, what makes you think has the biggest influence in your personality? The Decanates or Cusps? Please explain. thank you..
