God and the Scientist

A scientist declares himself to be the most intelligent man who ever lived.So intellegent in fact that he found a way to get up to Heaven and speak with God himself.The scientist says to God,"What are you good for exactly?"God replies,"I created the earth and all that is on it."
The scientist says "No,you didn't create it all. I've gained the ability to clone sheep and cattle,I even cloned a human being.And,if I have uncovered the secret of life,why do we need you?"
To this God said,"All right.we'll have a contest.We'll both create something and whomever does it best,will be god from now on."
The scientist agrees.God bends down,grabs a fistful of soil and blows on it and a beautiful white dove appears and flies away.The scientist is unimpressed.He bends down and reaches for a fistful of soil and God says,"No way,man.Get your own dirt!"

HazelnutCoffee,SeniorDiscounts,and 12 Step Recovery
|
Posted:May 13, 2006 11:08 am
Last Updated:May 16, 2006 1:22 pm 3701 Views

When I first moved to this little community - my first thought was to find the 12 Steppers. The first 12 Stepper actually came to me. Neighbors were helping us unload the truck. I was in a neighbor's kitchen and noticed a 12 Step related flier on the counter. I mentioned to the woman that I have been an active tea-totaling 12 Stepper for about 21 years. She ran out and told her husband that he needed to take me to a meeting.
One of the first things I noticed is that there were very few women in the meetings. Perhaps the Mid-Atlantic Belles feel the shame of alcoholism more acutely than their Left Coast Sisters. They won't reach out for help. Sadly, I observed women enter a room full of men and walk out.
My first goal in my new community was to create a safe place for women to find recovery. The first meeting simply did not have enough women to support the meetings. Other long term 12 Stepping women moved into the community. One woman at a time - women in the community reached out for help and found recovery.
Finally in October - A few of the women worked together and established a 12 Step Support Group for women. I was elected treasurer. We would collect up to five dollars a weeks. That money went into McDaniel's Gourmet Blend Hazelnut Coffee Can. Eventually, I started putting the money in a bank deposit box.
The meetings started to grow. One woman at a time - recovery became a reality. In February - we officially became the Women In The Solutions (WITS) A.A. Group. Finally, this week, there was enough $$$$$$ to actually start a bank account. I took the $$$$$ out of the deposit box. I asked the Accounts Officer the most cost effective way to start the account. My age allowed me to open the Senior Account with no service charges and free checks for a non profit organization.
Later that evening, I was scheduled to speak for a group in Virginia. I went with another women. Once upon a time, she and I would find ourselves the only women in the meetings. We are excited about finally having a bank account. We talked about putting together a women's retreat in the area. Do you think the Greenbrier will donate space for a Women Retreat. Yeah Sure! We talked about the possiblity of taking over one of the local male's rustic estate. We will let him stay and do the cooking.
After the meeting in Virginia, I spoke to two women from the group. They said they were the only recovering women in a group full of men. Congratulations, I told the two women. God has assigned you the mission bringing recovery to more women in the 12 Step Community.
...........and it's all Good!!!!!!

Comparing and Contrasting the Price of Eggs Versus Petrol
|
Posted:May 13, 2006 12:48 am
Last Updated:May 31, 2006 10:56 am 3657 Views

A man eats two eggs each morning for breakfast. When he goes to the grocery store he pays .60 cents a dozen. Since a dozen eggs won't last a
week he normally buys two dozens at a time.
One day while buying eggs he notices thatthe price has risen to 72 cents. The next
time he buys groceries, eggs are.76 centsa dozen. When asked to explain the price
of eggs the store owner says, "the price
has gone up and I have to raise my price
accordingly"
This store buys 100 dozen eggs a day.
I checked around for a better price and
all the distributors have raised their
prices. The distributors have begun to
buy from the huge egg farms. The small
egg farms have been driven out of
business.
The huge egg farms sells 100,000 dozen eggs a day to distributors. With no competition, they can set the price as they see fit. The distributors then have to raise their prices to the grocery stores. And on and on and on.
As the man kept buying eggs the price
kept going up. He saw the big egg trucks
delivering 100 dozen eggs each day.
Nothing changed there.
He checked out the huge egg farms and
found they were selling 100,000 dozen
eggs to the distributors daily. Nothing had changed but the price of eggs.
Then week before Thanksgiving the price of eggs shot up to $1.00 a dozen. Again he asked the grocery owner why and was told, "cakes and baking for the holiday".
The huge egg farmers know there will be a lot of baking going on and more eggs will be used. Hence, the price of eggs goes up.
Expect the same thing at Christmas and
other times when family cooking, baking,
etc. happen.
This pattern continues until the price of eggs is 2.00 a dozen. The man says, "there
must be something we can do about the
price of eggs".
He starts talking to all the people in his
town and they decide to stop buying
eggs. This didn't work because
everyone needed eggs. Finally, the
man suggested only buying what you
need.
He ate 2 eggs a day. On the way home
from work he would stop at the grocery
and buy two eggs. Everyone in the
town started buying 2 or 3 eggs a day.
The grocery store owner began complaining that he had too many eggs in his cooler. He told the distributor that he didn't need any eggs. Maybe wouldn't need any all week.
The distributor had eggs piling up at his
warehouse. He told the huge egg farms
that he didn't have any room for eggs
would not need any for at least two
weeks.
At the egg farm, the chickens just kept on laying eggs. To relieve the pressure, the
huge egg farm told the distributor that
they could buy the eggs at a lower price.
The distributor said, " I don't have the
room for the %$&^*&% eggs even if they were free".
The distributor told the grocery store
owner that he would lower the price of
the eggs if the store would start buying
again. The grocery store owner said,
"I don't have room for more eggs.
The customers are only buy 2 or 3 eggs
at a time". "Now if you were to drop the
price of eggs back down to the original
price, the customers would start buying by the dozen again".
The distributors sent that proposal to the
huge egg farmers. They liked the price
they were getting for their eggs but, them chickens just kept on laying.
Finally, the egg farmers lowered the price of their eggs. But only a few cents.
The customers still bought 2 or 3 eggs at a time. They said,"when the price of
eggs gets down to where it was before,
we will start buying by the dozen."
Slowly the price of eggs started dropping. The distributors had to slash their prices
to make room for the eggs coming from
the egg farmers.
The egg farmers cut their prices because
the distributors wouldn't buy at a higher
price than they were selling eggs for.
Anyway, they had full warehouses and
wouldn't need eggs for quite a while.
And them chickens kept on laying.
Eventually, the egg farmers cut their prices because they were throwing away eggs
they couldn't sell. The distributors started buying again because the eggs were
priced to where the stores could afford to
sell them at the lower price.
And the customers starting buying by the dozen again. Now transpose this analogy
What if everyone only bought $10.00 worth of gas each time they pulled to the pump the dealers tanks would stay semi full all the time.
The dealers wouldn't have room for the
gas coming from the huge tank farms.
The tank farms wouldn't have room for the gas coming from the refining plants.
And the refining plants wouldn't have room for the oil being off loaded from the
huge tankers coming from the Middle East

Horary Astrology - Where is the Job????

The Native asked about her struggles with finding a job - Would she find a Job?
Rather than to use the Chart to find an Absolute Yea or Naw! Astrology is a road map that indicate Planetary energies that provide guidance not absolutes.
I would rather read it in a way to identify what may be preventing the native from finding steady employment and ways to fix it.
The Chart is Cast!!!!! 
Job Horary - May 05, 2006

Abel Corners, New York
075W49'23 42N53'54
The Players     
The Ascendant is Scorpio with a retrograded Jupiter on the Horizon
The Planetary Hour is Jupiter
The Leo Moon is in tenth House
The Traditional Ruler of Scorpio is a Cancer Mars keeping company
with a Saturn Leo in the ninth House.
The Fixed Star ZUBEN ELGENUBI is on the Ascendant)
The Story
Retrogrades planets usually tell me that there are past life karmic
issues (genetic memories, generational issues, ad infinitum)
affecting the story. Thus the key to resolving the dilemma
Scorpio Jupiter is an indication of Religious Battles and
Conflicts. Happening in Salem, Massasschuttes, Inquisition,
Burning Times, ie..........
The Fixed Star ZUBEN ELGENUBI With Jupiter indicates Hypocrisy,
deceit, dishonesty, pretended religious zeal for business purposes,
danger of imprisonment.
The Traditional Ruler of Mars is in the Ninth House of Religious
Orders - With Cancer........this would be an American Connection.
Salem or perhaps the prosecutions of the Mormons. Issues with the
Puritans. Leo also indicates a possible French Connection.
Catholism.
Doing something Ceremonial to bring about forgiveness for yourself
and others will release the stubborn blockages and help you reach
your goal more easily. But remember if you are not respected
someplace, you don't belong there. Go another direction.
The Leo Moon is in the tenth House - Your Professionism- The Moon
is Change - Focus on the Entertainment Industry. This is an area
where you will find allies and support to help you with continued
success.

Galileo's West Virginia Howdy
N 37° 46.944 W 080° 23.949
UTM: 17S E 552908 N 4181842
In West Virginia, United States
Near a public boat dock that takes you into the Greenbrier River
In 1633 Famed Astronomer Galileo Galileo was taken to task for having to audacity to prove and publish the fact the Jupiter has moons and Venus Circles the Sun. These were the same folks who believed the world was flat.
In 1737 The Middle finger of Galileo's right hand was . detached from Galileo's hand by an Astronomy Student and is now on display at the of the Museo di Storia della Scienza in Florence, Italy.
Some say that Galileo's middle finger might symbolize the Hawaiian Good Luck Symbol. It may also be his way of saying "Nanny Nanny Boo Boo!" History has proven Galileo correct. Indeed, the Earth Circles the Sun.
On the base of the display is the following verse by Thomas Perellius is inscribed:
"This is the finger with which the illustrious hand covered the heavens and indicated their immense space. It pointed to new stars with the marvelous instrument, made of glass, and revealed them to the senses. And thus it was able to reach what Titania could never attain."
You won't find Galileo's West Virginia Howdy in the Cache that Honors him but there are cats, sand dollars, a dreamcatcher, precious stones and a log book.
Travel Bug SparkyGEMINORIUM begins his great adventure with Galileo's West Virginia Howdy
