Welcome to ...

The place where the world comes together in honesty and mirth.
Windmills Tilted, Scared Cows Butchered, Lies Skewered on the Lance of Reality ... or something to that effect.

Daily Horoscope

Today's horoscope says:

More structure is coming into your life right now. And while you can rationally see how much easier it will make things in the long run, emotionally it's going to be difficult to get used to. You're resistant to change right now, which is unusual -- and temporary. There is something about sameness that is comforting, and that's okay. But if you keep things as they are for too long, you're going to prohibit your own emotional growth.
Be patient and you'll get through.

OK
