The always wonderful Suze from suzelssass slapped me with a tag.

Here are the rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages)

2. Open the book to page 123.

3. Find the fifth sentence.

4. Post the next three sentences.

5. Tag five people.

* Book "Still pumped from using the mouse, by Scott Adams" (OK, so it's not War and Peace)

* Fifth sentence - "Don't panic yet, maybe it's something important...Maybe it's something that could make an impact"

* Next 3:
"Your assignment is to improve employee morale."
"Thanks for letting us watch"
"Did you like the part about 6 in a cubicle?"

Nobody gets tagged by me, I just like to see what everyone else reads.

    I'm just so impressed that you're reading a BOOK. I have read nothing but maps and European fashion and gossip magazines for the past 2 weeks and my brain is mushy.

    I'm so damn busy at work, I read nothing more than the Entertainment Weekly cover these days.

    The presence of seasonality makes adjustments in trend-line forecasts necessary.

    Seasonality is expressed in terms of the amount that actual values differ from average values in the time series.
    Analyzing data in monthly or quarterly terms usually makes it easy for a statistician to spot seasonal patterns.
    Seasonal indices can then be developed by several common methods.

    TG: I read a lot less than I used to when I commuted into downtown on the bus. Now that I am home, I hardly read at all.

    Beth: ET is OK, but you really should branch out to People and Us.

    And they became very suspicious of that Hillary. "But more importantly, Bill Clinton could not be seen as strong until Hillary Clinton was seen as weak," Morris continued. "Because the public assumed that the power belinged to one of them. It couldn't belong simultaneously, in their view.

    ...You'll have to discard the leader at that point. In addition, most brands of wire are impossible to knot in traditional ways. You must use special techniques...

    Are we talking about Hillary or Obama here? Nope, Pike on the Fly.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
