My Horoscope Profile

Pretty words....fits me to a 'T'....


How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others
You are always questioning and learning, and you seem young and alive no matter what your chronological age, for your mind is always alert, curious, flexible and open to new experiences. You have a childlike enthusiasm for anything new and you learn easily, but you also get bored rather quickly. You can be something of a scatterbrain, for you tend to have so many ideas and irons in the fire that it is hard to keep track of them all. You need and crave variety, change, mental stimulation, and an active social life. Find out more with your full-length reading...

The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
At heart you are modest and humble, and you rarely strive to be in the limelight or in a position of power. You have a sharp analytical mind, a keen eye for detail, and you prefer to observe, dissect, and study life from a distance. Conscientious and conservative, you can be relied upon to be careful, efficient, and thorough in your work and you take pride in doing a job well. What you may lack in self-confidence you often make up for in skill - developing expertise, technical knowledge, and competency in some specialized area. You are adept at using your hands to create or fix things, and meticulous attention to detail and careful craftsmanship are your forte. Some would say you are a little TOO meticulous, for you can be extremely critical and petty if everything is not done exactly as you think it should be, and you worry about things that other people consider trivial and unimportant. You like to organize, categorize, and arrange everything into a logical system, and you are often distinctly uncomfortable when something does not fit into a neat category. Disorganization vexes you. You probably wish that you were not such a perfectionist, for besides being a stickler for details, you can be mercilessly self-critical as well. Whether in your environment or in yourself, you tend to focus on the flaws, with a desire to improve, refine, and perfect. You are strictly factual, truthful, and scrupulously honest in your self-estimation, and you often do not give yourself enough praise or credit

Tight Jeans

Why do men wear loose baggy pants? Hanging down pants. Gross! Don't they know we women ALWAYS look at their butts? One of the first things we admire in a man....any man....and what better to ogle the men's butts than in tight jeans? We can watch men's butts for hours....and imagine...ummm....touching them...and....and.... Yummy! And where better to admire a man in tight jeans than here in Texas...and if they happen to be a cowboy with that 'cowboy strut'....OH MY!!!

MDWAD

Back in 1979 when our daddy was dying at the VA Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas, my brother Oren and I were pretty down. As background, we weren't that rich growing up...the only reason we didn't know we were poor was because we didn't know better. Many times, people would talk down to us. One afternoon, we were outside while daddy was sleeping. There were a couple of women outside with us...real 'uppety' women dressed to the 9s. This was summer in Arkansas where everything melted under the horrid humidity and heat. The two women were going on and on how important they were and how important their friends were, trying so hard to impress us and talk down to us. Very apparent. I just looked at them and said very snootily, 'Well, MY daddy is Abe Davis'. They shut up and cowered back in....Oren and I laughed our heads off. After that, any time we are put down or tired and anxious, we just say to each other, 'Well, MY daddy was Abe Davis' and laugh.

Many years later, Oren got a computer and was trying to think up a nickname for his email. I suggested the acronym 'MDWAD' and it stuck. Now when we email, every time we smile knowing we are invincible as brother and sister....it just doesn't get better!
