Who is your favorite author?

.

ayn rand is mine.

just wondering so i can find a new book or books to read *smiles*.

Mulan~ One of several books I am reading (I have a hard time reading one at a time) focuses on the issues of the different nations and all the religious problems. It's called, Abraham: A journey to the heart of three Faiths by Bruce Feiler. Leap of Faith, Memoirs of an Unexpected Life sounds like a similar book. One more I can add to my collection. Thanks

tal- Marilyn French, The Women's Room sound sounds like an excellent book. I may have to pick this one up as well :). I went out and bought The Davinci Code, probably should read that one first.

A Strange Coincidence...the sky is falling!

by eisenstein in

something strange happened to me yesterday on the subway coming home from work.

an awake article, the one about "the internet and pornography, who does it effect" fell right at my feet.

i looked around to see who dropped/threw it down but didn't see anyone.. my first jw-paranoia thought was that i was followed by a jw spy and they dropped it so i could see it.

My mum always tells me that the internet is a tool of Satan-yet she calls me to look up information for her....LOL

Personally, I feel the internet without porn would have failed long ago.....not that I look at that stuff anyway

One of the rescuers said that it appeared she had even tried to get into some canned food because she had torn the labels off some cans.

Math / logic puzzle

by Simon in

please, no cheating (if you look it up, don't post the answer until other people have had a go) .

some dastardly villain has set up a device that will explode unless the two scales are each loaded with 6 litres of water.

you have a 12-litre bucket that is full of water along with empty 8 litre and 5 litre containers .

Happythoughts

It goes like this: 12,0,0; then 0,8,4; then 4,8,0; then 4,3,5; then 9,3,0; then 9,0,3; then 1,8,3; then 1,6,5, then 6,6,0 (the order of containters is the 12 liter, 8 liter, then 5 liter).

You start with the full 12 container and first fill the 8 liter containter full and put the rest in the 5 liter containter (since there's only 4 liters left in the 12 liter bucket, the 5 liter container only has 4 liters in it). Then your containers are as follows: zero liters in the 12 liter bucket, 8 liters in the 8 liter bucket and 4 liters in the 5 liter bucket. 0,8,4

Actually you could do it this way: Dump 8 liters into the 8 liter container and then dump five of those liters in the five liter containter, leaving the buckets as follows: 4,3,5

Start with the 12 liters and dump 8 of those liters into the 8 liter container. then you have 4 liters left in the 12 liter container.

Then in turn take the 8 liter container and fill up the 5 liter container, leaving only 3 liters in the 8 liter container.

So now your 12 liter container has 4 liters, your 8 liter container has 3 and your 5 liter container has 5.

Now take you 5 liter container and dump it back into the 12 liter container.then your 12 liter container has 9 liters, your 8 liter container has 3 and your 5 liter container has 0. 9,3,0--for short

then dump the 3 liters from your 8 liter container into your 5 liter container, leaving 0 liters in the 8 liter container.

Now your containers look like this: 9,0,3. 9 in the 12 liter container, 0 in the 8 liter and 3 in the 5 liter.

Now take your 9 liters in the 12 liter container and fill up your 8 liter container again, leaving 1 liter in the 12 liter container, 8 in the 8 liter container and 3 in the 5 liter container. 1,8,3

Now take your 8 liter container and add 2 more liters to your 5 liter container (which already has 3 liters in it) and now your 5 liter container is full. H ence your containers look like this: 1 in the 12 liter, 6 in the 8 liter and 5 in the 5 liter. Now all you have to do is empty your 5 liter container back into the 12 liter container--and wallah, you have 6 liters in the 12 liter container and 6 liters in the 8 liter container.

Are you a lady or a real woman?

by happyout in

subject: are you a real woman?

ladies - if you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant "fix-me-up.

real woman - if you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad.

Happythoughts

Buy boxed mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for up to a year.

Yuck!

If you could use a voodoo doll to hurt anyone you chose, would you?

by Happythoughts in

be honest

Happythoughts

Most people post that they actually wouldn't use a voodoo doll but joke about using one.... So, let's say your boss does something really terrible, like give the raise to the next guy when you have been busting your bum to get the job done.... just a little poke at the doll?
