Since I'll be taking a week off from blogging (be back on 8/18) I thought I'd share a couple of thoughts and links with you:
First Thought: "Always check if there is paper before you sit down on the toilet!" (I know you know this, but every once in a while we all need a reminder, I could've used one earlier!)
Second Thought: "Why does a 'slight tax increase' cost you two hundred dollars and a 'substantial tax cut' save you thirty cents?"
Final Thought: "Here's a tip that can take 5 strokes off anyone's golf game. It's called an eraser."
First Link: This depressing site - Who Did What By When - will tell you who accomplished what by the time they were your age. Just enter your age and press the button - voila! you then realize how unfocused your own life is...Don't think that because you are young (if you are) you won't find anything. Type in the age of '17' or even '12'! Here is an excerpt from Age 9 - "Actress Shirley Temple became a millionaire", "William J. Sidis, Jr. entered Harvard University" "Mozart began composing symphonies." There are also some strange entries, like this one for age 12: "After giving birth at age 8, Nigerian girl Mum-zi became a grandmother at 17." OK - so there are some entries you're happy are not about you!
Second Link: Here's another monumental waste of time that is deceivingly addictive -- The Fishy Game
Final Link: Everyone loves him, so get your daily joke at Rodney Dangerfield's website
