Mission

1. How to you get motivated to do something you

really hate to do? Music

2. Have you ever been hypnotized? Do you think it can really be

done or is it a mind trick? no yes

3. Bride Magazine says that the average bill for a

wedding is $22,000. No, I didn’t misplace a comma, that is twenty-two

THOUSAND! That sounds insane to me. I’d rather elope and put that

money into a house. Or a honeymoon. If you are married, how

much did your wedding cost? Was it worth it? (the cost of the wedding,

not the marriage, heh) If you aren’t, how much do you think should be

spent on a wedding? at least half of that

4. If you are a Realtor, I mean no offense, but these folks strike

me as very sneaky. Many of the houses I’ve looked at have a sign up in

the yard, but it has been sold for some time. Sure some are under

contract, but why not slap a "SOLD!" sign up there? No, I the Realtor

wants you to call anyway so they can snag you as a lead. Have

you ever looked for or bought a house? Was it fun? What is the most

frustrating part of the process (looking, buying, all areas)? yes. it

was ok. the paperwork

The Thursday Thumb-Twiddler

Twosome: May break my bones,- Have you ever broken a bone? Or needed

stitches? Or been hurt badly enough you should have gone to the hospital but

Threesome: But words will never harm me- The pen is mightier than the

sword and words do truly have the power to hurt. But sometimes we slip and just

a. Having all three escape passageways clustered in the center core of each

building;

b. The interior steel insulation had fallen off so there was no protection

against the effects of superheating due to fire (the steel insulation was in the

process of being replaced). This interior steel was heated to the point where it

became as pliable as licorice;

c. All sprinkler lines were situated in such a manner that they were sheared

when the aircraft wings hit the buildings;

d. The “stand and hold” policy of having handicapped or injured employees wait

in what fire teams considered “safe” rescue areas;

e. Access to the roof was barred and no notice posted that the roof was

inaccessible nor that the NYPD no longer executed rooftop helicopter rescues;

f. Fire and police rescue teams did not work in concert together (such as not

communicating on the same radio frequency);

g. Police and fire Department radios were the same as used in the 1993 terrorist

bombing attack and, in many cases, were defective. Some firefighting teams did

not receive the order to evacuate the buildings;

h. Firefighters, many of whom carried 95-125 lbs of extra equipment had to

trudge up 80 plus floors single file on one side of the narrrow stairwells as

panicked civilians made their way down to the lobby on the other side of the

same stairwell.

i. In several cases, the only available cleared stairwell down to safety was not

or could not be relayed to other trapped victims in the upper floors or rescue

4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why? not

5. Is the analysis of your name at



kabalarians.com
accurate? How or how isn’t it?  very sigh:
Your

name  makes you easy-going and refined, but detracts from your physical

vitality. You desire all the finer things in life–lovely clothes, home,

furniture, and environment. However, procrastination is your worst enemy, and

you find yourself lacking the ambition to make your dreams a reality. People are

inclined to take advantage of your sympathetic, tractable nature. You naturally

attract people with problems who seek your understanding and advice. You can

give good advice although it is unlikely that you would follow it yourself. You

would be most successful in situations where you can use your skills in

diplomacy in handling people, but where you are not under pressure or required

to carry responsibility and make decisions. It is difficult for you to be

individual and make your own decisions, for you lack self-confidence.
