TALES OF THE TECHNOLOGICALLY CHALLENGED
Customer: I'm trying to connect to the Internet with your CD, but it
just doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Tech support: OK, you've got the CD in the CD drive, right?
Customer: Yeah....
Tech support: And what sort of computer are you using?
Customer: Computer? Oh no, I haven't got a computer. It's in the CD
player and all I get is weird noises. Listen...
Tech support: Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!

Chocolate Math
YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
This is pretty neat.
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute ....
Work this out as you read ...
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
It's fun.
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like
to have chocolate
(more than once but less than 10)
2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
3. Add 5
4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
5. If you have already had your birthday this year
add 1755 ... If you haven't, add 1754.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number
The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
The next two numbers are
YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2005) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.
I have a new kitten named Callie, she is 12 weeks old. she was very timid the first 3 days we had her. We finally got her upstairs and now she won't leave me alone LOL. she jumped on my hand while I am typing, she watched the monitor when the computer is working and she stops and looks at the tv when I turn it on. We haven't had a kitten so small for several years and I had forgotten how funny they are.
I will be writing over the weekend. Hope you have a great holiday.--------------------------
