"Humor is what binds humans together and makes difficult times just a little less painful; Sometimes you can't help but laugh. "
The Little Black Books
“It’s for twenty thousand dollars,” the announcer told me, “sponsored by Vivian’s grocery store.” Of course, I already knew that as I signed up to take part in part two of the competition. I had made it past round one, just barely, in my opinion.

Something Remembered
She had slept in late again, and it was almost noon by the time she sat with a cup of coffee to sort through the morning’s mail. “More junk,” she said to herself, and put everything in the bin except a handwritten envelope she felt should probably be opened. Inside was a card and a cheque addressed to Mrs Sandy Hall for $20,000. Her eyes widened, but the shock was by now so familiar that it passed almost immediately. Still, this was a big one, and had come all the way from America. “Here’s another one Tiddles,” she said to the cat.

Worker Bees of the Human World...!!!. Top Story - March 2021.
Capricorn men (like me) are widely considered to be the most complicated creatures on the face of this earth. That's something, considering the number of Zodiac signs we have, but it's not necessarily true. There are very definite, clear, and simple characteristics that define any Capricorn guy. Let's go through these one by one and see which ones stick.

Dirty Letters
Dirty Letters By David Tyrer The letterbox vomited an excrescence of dirty white paper onto the mud-clotted doormat of Arthur’s freezing cottage. When the last fillet of bad news had fallen, it snapped back into place on a muted low note. The disturbance tore him rudely out of his dreams and into rough, sweaty bedsheets. Next to him, his raddled wife dreamed on selfishly. He could smell the cold morning air seeping through their half-open window. Bad news. Arthur knew it could hardly be anything else.

Dear diary, How are you supposed to start these things. Why am I doing this? Ugh. Whatever. Hi, I'm Daisy. Today Mom gave me, a weird tiny daughter, you, a weird tiny book. She said it would be a nice opportunity to "use up all that creativity" or something. It would be encouraging if it weren't undercut by some kind of expectation.

A Cubicle Of Ones Own
Dale’s office was small, but in many ways, this was his home. More than the one-bedroom he shared with his half blind tabby, Sergeant Furry. More than where he had grown up in a run-down split level beside the mega mall. It was where his computer was, where he had the picture of himself standing beside the Matt Damon look alike he had met at Comic-Expo. It was where he hung his singing fish. Of course, he had to take the batteries out because, Don’t Worry Be Happy got on his colleagues’ nerves.

Libra
Libra Let’s start with our supposed strength. Number 1 is Cooperative, and I am very cooperative as long as everyone is willing to do things exactly as I want them. Number 2 diplomatic, oh, that is me to a tee, that’s why I can’t understand why I’ve been fired so much. I mean, on my last job, I am pretty sure that I told my boss he was the biggest idiot I had ever met. After he had turned down an 11,000,000.00 investor that I lined up for him, oh boy, was I diplomatic. I used no foul language when I informed him that with another brain, he’d be a halfwit Number 3. Libras are gracious; I can be every other Sunday as long as there is a bottle of Medoc around. 4.Fair-minded, I want to be fair, but life and GOP don’t give you a lot of slack on that one. Social – Sure, as long as everyone leaves me the f**k alone. So, Let’s hear it for my strong points. Hoora----y!

Burmp and Karen
I have until the big shiny thing in the sky touches the ground to turn this pile of sticks into a fire. If I don’t, Burmp will take one of the bones from one of the mammoths she caught, the thick tree trunk-looking one as long as me, and hit me in the head with it. She promised to do that if I didn’t win the fire-making contest. The winner gets a coat made out of tiger fur, a stick that when you shake it makes it rain, and a VERY shiny rock. So I told Burmp I would win it for her. But here’s something I should have thought about before I made that promise: I have no clue how to make fire.

Better for the bottom line
John Crowley had attended many board meetings in his life, but he had never been in a whiter room than he was in now. In fact he had never seen anything so blindingly white, and it took his eyes several moments to adjust. He rubbed them briefly before he could see, and it was at that moment he realized he was holding a little black book. How odd.
