A while ago I was in a play, that happened to be getting its performance at a large church complex. A couple of the cast members were folks normally involved with the church. One day, when our rehearsal room had just previously been used for a funeral reception and the last of the tables were being cleared, one of the church regulars remarked that it was a little known secret, but the best thing cooked by the kitchens at this place was a dish unofficially called "Funeral Chicken." It was a breaded chicken that happened to be the cheapest thing they offered, so it was often requested at funeral dinners.

The story tells the tale of a goth vampire student coming to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft, where Harry and Draco have also inexplicably transformed into goth vampires, and bo...

There are some practitioners that say a time limit for the achievement of the goal should be decided upon for any magic spellcasts. This has the primary benefit of preventing a person from wasting years on a hopeless cause. It also has another useful factor; I am copying here what was written by John Chow (whose main concern seems to be a blog about making money online, but nevertheless provides advice that can apply anywhere.) Giving Yourself An Out Do you know how to tell a successful person from a unsuccessful one? The easiest way is by the language they use. When you talk to a successful person about his goals, he’ll tell you what he plans to do and when it will be done. When an unsuccessful person talks about his goals (assuming he even has one), you’ll hear something along the lines of, “I hope to do this someday.” Here’s a clue for all you losers out there; someday never comes. You know why a person with a loser’s mentality always uses words like “someday”, “I hope” or “...
