Don't take me too seriously. I don't.
The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget…. this particular Sunday sermon…”Dear Lord,” the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. “Without you, we are but dust.”
He would have continued but at that moment a little girl (who was listening!) leaned over to her mother and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice, “Mom, what is butt dust?”
“Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.”

My sweet daughter takes an infinite number of quizes that reveal her inner soul (well, some characteristics, at least), but every time I take one, they ask to sign up for something. I already get enough junk mail and I usually can’t figure out how to complete the quiz wthout giving away my two firsborn children, so I just skip them. But lo and behold, clothedinjoy had one on her blog to test what major you should have, so I tried it. Wonders of wonders, nothing was required except to answer a few question.
You scored as Philosophy. You should be a Philosophy major! Like the Philosopher, you are contemplative and you enjoy thinking about the purpose for humanity’s existence.

So I was a philosophy/psychology major and had a career as a Navy Pilot and a computer analyst. Not a bad test, really.
Beloit College has published its Mindset List for the class of 2010.
Members of the class of 2010, entering college this fall, were mostly born in 1988. For them: Billy Carter, Lucille Ball, Gilda Radner, Billy Martin, Andy Gibb, and Secretariat have always been dead.
Here are a few of the mindsets:
1. The Soviet Union has never existed and therefore is about as scary as the student union.
7. They have never heard anyone actually “ring it up” on a cash register.
11. A coffee has always taken longer to make than a milkshake.
19. “Google” has always been a verb.
30. Non-denominational mega-churches have always been the fastest growing religious organizations in the U.S.
34. They have always known that “In the criminal justice system the people have been represented by two separate yet equally important groups.”
39. “So” as in “Sooooo New York,” has always been a drawn-out adjective modifying a proper noun, which in turn modifies something else
Toodles.
So far I’ve been successful at avoiding tags. I treat them as chain letters, mostly, mainly because I don’t have the patience to so the work to pass it along. I’m usually as squirrelly as a Jr. High School Boy. 1By the way diagnosing a Jr. High School boy with ADHD is like saying, “There is water in the ocean.” Even if I love you, it will be a long time before I respond to another one of these tags. Only because I love Mark so much, and the work required to pass this tag along is relatively small, and I’m a tag virgin, will I respond…this time.
And, now this tagging thing means I’m supposed to tag 5 others to post the same information from their library of reading. You poor folks are now tagged: Stacey, Beth, Scoop, Bonnie, Kiki. Sorry.
