Quote of the Day February 17, 2005 11:18 am

While discussing a machine that supposedly can predict the future:
‘There’s plenty of evidence that time may run backwards,’ says Prof Bierman at the University of Amsterdam.

The box has apparently predicted the 9/11 attacks four hours before they happened and the tsunami 24 hours before it happened as well as many other world events.

DEEP in the basement of a dusty university library in Edinburgh lies a small black box, roughly the size of two cigarette packets side by side, that churns out random numbers in an endless stream.

The box is being used as evidence to support the concept of a global consciousness.

Do you like Disneyland? Disney is auctioning several things such as a vacation (current bid $15,100), Skyway vehicles, and cars from Space Mountain. Good luck!

Valentine’s and money February 17, 2005 9:21 am

Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a comment

This past Saturday the kids each received a Valentine’s card from my folks with a $5 bill in each one. Even two year old Amy got a $5 bill. She was so thrilled with it that she ran up on her house and sat there smiling at it as she held it stretched between her two hands. I asked her to give it to me for safe keeping and she didn’t complain. A few minutes later Cathy saw her walking down the hall with tears streaming down her face as she wimpered over and over “he took it.” I quickly returned it.

When I thought it had been forgotten I gave it to Cathy for safe keeping. This morning Amy sat on her house with her Valentine’s Day card and said, “I lost my dollar.”

    Describe a Problem, the Action you took, the Results you achieved and Skills you applied.

  4. Use of Personal Pronouns and Articles
  5. Irrelevant Information

The article finishes by reminding us that the purpose of the resume is to “communicate your experiences and accomplishments as they relate to an open position and to obtain a job interview” and that the resume should be customized for each opportunity.

This Morning
Some mornings the bed seems so warm and safe. This was one of those mornings. I just didn’t want to get up.
