Joe Biden – Foot Shooter or Lottery Winner (or both)?

Turnabout’s fair play.  I’ve picked on Sarah Palin, now it’s Joe Biden’s turn (by the way, they both did a great job in the debate).  Here are some photos I found on Freaking News:

Some Picks from Our September Conversations

I’m a little slow getting this published…

September was a busy month.  There was a post on Don’stuff nearly every day.  Many of you were kind enough to read and comment. 

The month started with books (Alex Award Winning Books for Mature Teenagers, then Teen Books that Adults will Love) and ended with chocolate (Ten Things You Should Know about Chocolate).

You liked reading about Sarah Palin (The Times story about her kill on Bullwinkle was the top read of the month), stories about her comprised five of the top fifteen you read.

Since it was such a busy month, and since summarizing would virtually recreate all the posts, I’ll instead present a few picks:

Top Picks of September 2008

 The picks begin with the Most Comments during the month, Leaving Evangeline:

Snot unkind is Stacy at Stacy’s Bookblog who is kind enough to allow me to play guess who games and win books:

Almost Finally, thank you to David and Tonya for playing along – even though they don’t have a blog.  They are the only people I communicate with on this blog that I actually see (we live about a half a mile apart).

Thank you to all of you for joining in on the fun.

Finally, this is for Sanity Found (the original Cookie Gangsta), Amber, Lindsey, and all others who comment regularly on cookies:

Fifty Web Tools that Will Predict Your Future (sort of)

I’m generally future oriented, so when I discovered 50 Free Web Tools that will Predict Your Future at The Daily Netizen, I thought I’d try a few.  Each site mentioned is linked, just click on the name to visit.  These web tools are organized in these catagories:

• Financial
• Love and Relationship
• Educational
• Career and Professional
• Health and Medical
• Just for Fun

They run the gamut from “silly to serious.”  Here are a couple that I tried:

The people at ivillage put together a quiz about career choices.  I thought I’d try it to see if I chose a career that is right for me (I did).  Here is just a snippit of my results:

You would be very happy in a career that utilised your level-headedness, and allowed you to work mainly on your own. You want a career that allows you to be creative, without having to be involved with lots of people. Some careers that would be perfect for you are:

• Artist
• Historian
• Banker
• Novelist
• University Professor
• Photographer
• Vet
• Paralegal
• Graphic Designer
• Online Content Developer
• Webmaster
• Producer
• Managing Director
• Nutritionist
• Advertising
• Nursing

I’m going to live to be 84 years old, according to the Life Expectancy Calculator at MSN Money – apparently I swim at the deep end of the gene pool.

CNN’s retirement planner let me know that I will be working past the age of 65, since I won’t be able to afford to retire – that university professor career choice is coming back to haunt me.

One of the sites (Blogthings) gave me the opportunity to see how lucky I am.  I recently won my first contest, so I was feeling pretty good about the possibilities.  I’m luckier than I thought, since I have never considered myself lucky and had to wait until I was 49 to win a random contest.  However, here are my results:

You have an extremely high luck quotient.
Not only do you consider yourself lucky, probably everyone you know does too.
But you’re smart enough to know that you’ve mostly made your own luck.
By being positive, open, and flexible, a lot of luck has come your way!

There are 46 other sites to visit.  These are just the ones that immediately caught my interest.

Enjoy!
