You are loyal, dependable, and meticulous, with a fine eye for detail and the determination to do well in all things. When dealing with others, you are thoughtful and direct, exercising more than your fair share of patience. Your endurance and ambition serve you well, and you are rarely discouraged by the onset of unforseen hardships. Although you rarely challenge authority, you are constant in your affections and work habits, shouldering a sense of responsibility, which ultimately will see you through. Capricorns are most often found in positions relating to business. However, they also make excellent real estate agents, agriculture specialists and detectives. Because they value tradition and family, Capricorns often come from strong homes. They enjoy society and community and often have a strong influence over politics.

Well .. here we are at the end of the real millennium .. And I'm expected to come up with something funnier or more ridiculous than the US election for president? Where is Chad? Let him write this thing .. and keep rewriting it til the ballots in Palm Beach come out even, I always say. ...Well i would say that if we did this often which, thank somebody, we DONT. (note to self: send a letter suggesting Term Limits on politicians .. 90 minutes seems about right.) Let's hope that the 00s are as entertaining as the 90s. (that look as weird to you as it did to me ??) .. and hope everyone has a happy NEW YEAR ... and DON'T miss our Fourth Birthday party on the 1st! Probably be some surprises.. you never know. THIS JUST IN!!! It appears that
Ellegon had her daughter mix up a couple of colors for hair dye. This has
resulted in an interesting really long purple mane of hair. Itsy

D0T COM Contributed by Scorp of #Scorp’s Place And lo, it came to pass that the trader by the name of Abraham.com did takeunto himself a young wife by the name of Dot. And Dot.com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she had been called Amazon Dot.com. And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why doth thou travel far, from town to town, with thy goods when thou can trade without ever leaving thy tent?" And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, "How, Dear?" And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will reply telling you which hath the best price. And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)". Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums, as long as he could have his way with her. And Dot said, "There will be a lot of banging in the land." And Abraham replied, "It is my most fervent wish that this be so." And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had, at the top price, without ever moving from his tent. But his success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did secrete himself inside Abraham's drum and was accused of insider trading. And the young did take to Dot.com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Siderites, or NERDS for short. And lo the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums, that no one noticed that the real riches were going to the drum maker, one Brother William of Gates, who bought up every drum company in the land. And indeed did insist on making drums that would only work if you bought Brother Gates' drumsticks. And Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others." And as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or as it came to be known, "eBay," he said, "We need a name of a service that reflects what we are." And Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators." "Whoopee!" said Abraham. "No, YAHOO!" said Dot.com.
