Do You Always Say What You Think?

I'm sure the longer I'm here, the more open I'll be. I just read someone's entry, that, I completely disagreed with. The disappointing thing is, others were responding favorably to it.

Humorscope for June 6

Aries (March 21 - April 19) I see you making a special trip to the store today, to get something. It's in a sort of yellow-ish little box, about the size of a toothpaste box, I think. It's "prep-something"? Ah! "Preparation"-something, I think. Oh. Ahem. Anyway, if it's any consolation, I hear that... Sign in to see full entry.

The only cure will be to drink a glass of a fine Australian wine, which has a bouquet like an aborigine's armpit. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) You will sneak out tonight, with a box of navel...

Quotes for Today--Nurses

Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God's spirit?
