Hear Ye..... Hear Ye....

I am moving this blog to another location. It will be here for a little while longer but due to some unforseen difficulties it would be prudent for me to seek life elsewhere. I will not be posting a link to the new website. If you're interested please e mail me and I'll send you the link.

Sweet dreams and have a good week.

Bedtime Poems II

Poem by Danielle D Curtis

My Tanks

Thought I'd share pics of my fish tanks at work. I've got a goldfish (Mister Finns) and an algae eatter (Fluffy) in one 5 gal tank and a school of neon tetras in a 10 gal behind my desk.







If you look in the lower right hand corner you can see two of the neons-they're quite shy.










Mister Finns lookin' all kinds of dangerous. Fluffy is hiding in the log and refused to come out for the photo op. The "Whomp It" is my own personal Thor's hammer and when I'm feeling stressed I occasionally start bopping things. It's a blow up mallet and does no serious damage. What's the point of having a desk if you can't have cool toys?

Lets Talk Some Shit....

Sometimes when shit happens you want to be able to articulate the experience.

Ghost Shit-
You know you’ve shit. There’s shit on the toilet paper, but no shit in the bowl.

Teflon Coated Shit-
Comes out so slick, clean and easy that you don’t feel it. No traces of shit on the toilet paper, you have to look in the bowl to be sure you did it.

Gooey Shit-
Has the consistency of hot tar. You wipe your butt 12 times and it still doesn’t come clean. You end up putting toilet paper in your underwear so you don’t stain it. This shit leaves permanent skid marks in the toilet.

Second Thought Shit-
You’re all done wiping your butt and you’re about to stand up when you realize…you’ve got some more.

Pop A Vein in Your Forehead Shit-
This is the kind of shit that killed Elvis. It doesn’t come until you’re all sweaty, trembling and purple from straining so hard.

Right Now Shit-
You better be within 10 seconds of a toilet. Usually it has its head out before you get your pants down.

King Kong or Commode Choker Shit-
This shit is so big that you know it won’t go down the toilet unless you break it into smaller chunks. A coat hanger works well. This kind of shit usually happens at someone else’s house.

Wet Cheeks Shit-
This shit hits the water sideways and makes a BIG splash.

Wish Shit-
You sit there all cramped up and fart a few times, but no shit!

Snake Shit-
This shit is fairly soft and about as big as your thumb and at least 4 feel long.

Cork Shit-
Even after the 3rd flush, it’s still floating in there, MY GOD! How do I get rid of it?? This shit usually happens at someone else’s house.

The Crippler-
The kind of shit where you’ve been on the toilet so long your legs go numb.

Jack The Ripper Shit-
The kind of shit that yanks out the hair on your butt as it pushes its way out.

The Party Pooper-
The giant shit you take at a party. And when you flush the toilet, you watch in horror as the water starts to rise.

The Frightened Turtle-
The kind of shit that just pokes its head out then quickly goes back in.

The Ring of Fire Shit-
The kind of shit where you eat really spicy food and your butt feels like the inside of a cigarette lighter.

The Windy City Shit-
When you sit down and fart so long and hard that you no longer need to take a shit.

The Never-Ending Shit-
It’s the shit that keeps running out of your butt. This always happens after eating at KFC.

A Thought



I've been mulling over this blog. I'm not sure if I should continue. I'm gonna ponder this some more, no snap decisions, especially with the mindset that I'm in at the moment. Things at work are gearing up so I won't be posting that much for the rest of the month, Mental exhaustion has already begun to take its toll. I need to make it through the rest of the June, get a life, get laid and find some peace.

Worm Attacks Yahoo E-Mail

Mass-mailing worm exploits a vulnerability in the Web-based e-mail, but its impact is low.

Jeremy Kirk, IDG News Service
Monday, June 12, 2006

A mass-mail worm that exploits a vulnerability in Yahoo's Web-based e-mail is making the rounds but the impact appears to be low, security vendor Symantec said today.

The worm, which Symantec calls JS.Yamanner@m, is different from others in that a user merely has to open the e-mail to cause it to run, said Kevin Hogan, senior manager for Symantec Security Response. Mass-mail worms have usually been contained in an attachment with an e-mail note encouraging a user to open it.

The worm, written in JavaScript, takes advantage of a vulnerability that allows scripts embedded in HTML e-mail to run in the users' browsers. Yahoo users should be able to modify their settings to block the zero-day exploit, Hogan said.

Symantec rated the worm a Level 2 threat, one notch above its least harmful ranking. Hogan said the worm did not appear to be spreading widely, and he did not anticipate the threat level rising.

How It Spreads

When activated, the worms then sends itself to other users in the victim's address book who also use Yahoo e-mail with the suffixes of @yahoo.com or @yahoogroups.com. The worm mimics a function within Yahoo's Web mail called "Quickbuilder," which allows a user to add contacts in an address book from received e-mail, Hogan said. The process, however, is transparent to the victim, he said.

The harvested e-mail addresses are sent to a remote server. Users of Yahoo Mail Beta do not appear to be affected, Symantec said.

The worm also opens a browser that displays a Web page that does not appear to contain malicious content.

Although Yahoo's Web e-mail has not been fixed, users are advised to update virus and firewall definitions and block any e-mail sent from av3@yahoo.com. The subject line of the e-mail with the worm says "New Graphic Site," and the body says "this is test."

Yahoo officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

My first foray into audio blogging-hope you enjoy! I'd appreciate any feedback-thanks ; )

Cake

Yes, I'm having a challenging day. I trundled in to work, sipped my tea, opened my trusty Yahoo account and accidently hit the wrong friggin' button-opening an e mail that should never have been opened. I know better than this and I spent the better portion of the day contacting friends from my 3 other e mail accounts begging them not to open anything that they received from me today. My baby sister sent this to me at my work e mail addy and initially I wanted to smack her for sending it because I'm in a foul, foul mood; I reconsidered, knowing that she sent it with the best intentions and a good heart...now I feel compelled to share this with you to get rid of the Grinchy vibe I have...



CAKE



Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why did this
have to happen to me?" Here is a possible answer.

A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's
failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend
is moving away. Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her
daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely
Mom, I love your cake."

"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers.
"Yuck" says her daughter.

"How about a couple raw eggs?"
"Gross, Mom!"

"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"
"Mom, those are all yucky!"

To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by
themselves. But when they are put together in a certain order, they make
a delicious cake.

Life works the same way. Many times we wonder why we are put through such bad and difficult times. But these things are all part of a higher plan. We just have to trust and eventually, they will all make something wonderful.



Um OK, now where's my damned cake?

URGENT WARNING

Do not open anything sent from my yahoo account-I've got a big bad bug.

You're Invited

I feel the need to cut loose..it's been um, a bit hectic. I think we could all use a little stress relief...so

I'm sittin' here...
in my fancy computer desk chair purchased at Office Depot on sale...
and I'm singin' along with Madonna...why?
Because I'm one flaky broad and the song has a great dance beat.


Here we go kids, come join me on the dance floor and get your wicked groove thang going, dance the frustration out-works wonders for the bod and the mind....rock da house with me roomies!!!!!




*thumpin' bass line take us away*

I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna know
Please don't say 'Forgive me'
I've seen it all before
And I can't take it anymore

I heard it all before
I heard it all before
I heard it all before
I heard it all before
and I can take care of myself

Proof that I appearances can be deceiving....

Let's take a tour of Bea's abode, shall we? I offer proof that I am not always organized.


My balcony in bloom.


My bedroom where allllll the magic happens. No jokes about Pooh ok. He's big, cuddly, doesn't steal the covers and I prefer bedmates who have a bit of substance to their physique.


My freezer, an obvious display of chaos.

My livingroom and dining room-yes folks it's a mess, I haven't finished rearranging my furniture yet. That's what single, frustrated women do, they rearrange the living room in their spare time.


My den/computer room, where the cables beneath my desk resemble a pot of spagetti instead of an organized cluster.

Memorial Day Pics!!

Ok the moment everybody has been anticipating, I got the software yesterday and here are the Memorial Day pics. The house that John and Kel bought is in Roxbury New York. A very tiny upstate town, seriously, blink and you'll miss it. I spent Thanksgiving up there and it was lovely. We had a foot or more of snow, the coldest beer and killer sledding. The house sits on the side of a mountain, the big news when we got there-they paved the access road (before it was just dirt with some axle bending holes). There's a pond with fish, frogs and salamanders. It's spring fed and the water is so clear you can see down to the bottom. It really is heaven on earth.

My Battle Beetle sandwiched between my brother-in-alcohol's Benz and Porche-yeah baby-I fit in! Feel the awesome power of The Beetle and be afraid, very afraid!

My nephew-dog Clancy-he's a Field Spaniel

Clancy sez, "Lookit how big my jowls are."

My brother in law waiving frantically for more beer.

View out my bedroom window.

My favorite room.


My Brother-in-alcohol-John; baby sister Kel, niece Mary and nephew Sam.
Sam roasting marshmallows.

My sleeping companion, Pumpkin the kitten sayin', "Why'd you wake me up beeeiotch?" He's the newest addition to my sister's family and refused to leave my side.
