I was sent this earlier today. It made my day.
q: do you think this would be a good way to screen calls?:)

Body: Hello, You have reached 123-4567, Tender Hearts
Rescue. Due to the high volume of calls we have been receiving, please listen closely to the following options and choose the one that best describes you or your situation:

Press 1 if you think we are veterinarians and want free medical advice.

Press 2 if you know we are a rescue organization but want to save money and have us give you free, untrained medical advice anyway.

Press 3 if you make $200,000 a year but still want us to pay to spay the "stray" in your yard (house).

Press 4 if you have a 10-year-old dog and your 15-year-old son has suddenly become allergic and you need to find the dog a new home right away.

Press 5 if you have three dogs, had a baby and want to get rid of your dogs because you are the only person in the world to have a baby and dogs at the same time.

I live in South Carolina, and we have a large yard with NO landscaping and no trees. I want to put some flower beds next to the house that contain shrubs only. The problem is that I'm not sure which kind of mulch to get, how deep it needs to be, and I'm having a problem finding it in stores. We're going to edge each bed with the concrete edger blocks. As for the mulch, I'd like long-lasting, insect repelling, reddish colored and very low maintenance. Don't want much do I? Any info you have would be appreciated. I am not a gardener by any stretch!

I've heard my church use the term "woman in waiting" as a term for a "kept" Christian woman who is prepared for marriage and waiting to be found. If this is the true definition, than I am indeed a "woman in waiting" or a "lady in waiting".

My concern is if this term is used somewhere else? Someone told me that a "woman in waiting" deals with a brothel or a prostitue. Is this true?

I'll be very careful how I use the term until I find out.

Any clue anyone?

These are words from a song sung by a woman, but it wasn't Christina Aguilera. It isn't necessarily a recent song. Could be anything between the seventies and now. Does anybody have any clue as to which song this might be from, and by whom it was performed?

It seems that most people find that built-in speakers in LCD monitors are pretty bad -- weak and not enough bass. Are there any LCD monitors that have decent speakers? They don't need to be loud enough to fill a room, but good enough so if I'm sitting at my desk I can reasonably listen to tunes or watch a video.

I just don't know what to do anymore. My husband was so great at the beginning of our marriage and now he is pissed off at the world constantly. I try to talk to him but he just wants no confrontation of any problems and will just walk off or leave. This is just not with me.. it's people at his work too but I get the worst of it. I have tried praying, I have talked to counselors, we have gone to marriage counseling... nothing seems to work in the long run... I have come to the end of my rope.. This is what happened last night.. I made a nice Supper.. I told him that he needed to chew his food more slowly because he was chewing so fast (I said it in a Very nice way) he threw the plate on the floor, spit the food out and stormed out..This is just an example.. he is constantly throwing these kinds of tantrums.... What is wrong with him? What should I do? Any Advice would be Greatly Appreciated!!!!

Last night, as I was coming out of party works, I found myself trying unlock my dad's SUV ( that I had to borrow, while mine's getting repaired) It just wouldn't open. Then I finally realized, I had the wrong one, it was parked beside my dad's, same color! It was dark. I was so embarassed, I didn't even look at the people walking by...lol.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Bavaria's most glamorous politician -- a flame-haired motorcyclist who helped bring down state premier Edmund Stoiber -- has shocked the Catholic state in Germany by suggesting marriage should last just 7 years.

ADVERTISEMENT


Gabriele Pauli, who poses on her web site in motorcycle leathers, is standing for the leadership of Bavaria's Christian Social Union (CSU) -- sister party of Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) -- in a vote next week.

She told reporters at the launch of her campaign manifesto on Wednesday she wanted marriage to expire after seven years and accused the CSU, which promotes traditional family values, of nurturing ideals of marriage which are wide of the mark.



"The basic approach is wrong ... many marriages last just because people believe they are safe," she told reporters. "My suggestion is that marriages expire after seven years."



After that time, couples should either agree to extend their marriage or it should be automatically dissolved, she said.



Fifty-year-old Pauli, twice divorced, is a maverick intent on shaking up her male-dominated and mainly Catholic party which has dominated Bavarian politics since World War Two.



"This is about bringing ideas into the CSU and starting a discussion," she told German television on Thursday after she had unleashed a wave of criticism from other politicians.



Former foe Stoiber said she did not belong in the CSU and European lawmaker Ingo Freidrich dismissed her views.



"She is diametrically contradicting our Christian, ethical values," Freidrich said.

Peter Ramsauer, head of the CSU in Germany's parliament, compared Pauli's ideas to "the dirt under your fingernails".

Pauli, who attracted attention earlier this year when she posed for a magazine wearing long black latex gloves, was at the centre of a snooping scandal which eventually led to Stoiber, Bavarian premier for 14 years, saying he would stand down early.



She said his office tried to obtain details about lovers and alcohol consumption to use against her.



The CSU will elect Stoiber's successor as party head at a conference next week. He will be replaced as state premier in early October.

Viewed as a party rebel, Pauli stands almost no chance of winning next week's vote. The contest has been fought mainly between Bavarian state economy minister Erwin Huber and German Consumer Minister Horst Seehofer.

The popularity of Seehofer, a 58-year-old married father of three, has suffered from the disclosure that he had been having an affair with a younger woman who recently had his baby.
