Dharma & Greg -- Episode Guide Initially, Greg scoffs at "Radio Dharma," but one on-air debate with a caller later, and he's hooked.

I love this show. It's right up there with Northern Exposure!Dharma & Greg -- About The Show "Elfman stars as Dharma Freedom Finkelstein-Montgomery, a free-spirited yoga instructor with an incredible knack for looking on the bright side. Raised by hippie parents, she was taught to shun convention, trust her wildest instincts, and find the joy in everyday life. Gibson plays Greg Montgomery, a conservative, Harvard-educated attorney and the yin to Dharma's yang. Married on their first date, they have remained committed to each other from day one, despite the obstacles presented by the world around them."

:That's My Father!:

This is my favorite small world story to date.
The punch line is "Thats my Father!"

It all started in 1988 when Portland Maine's Marriot opened Sables, a dance club. My roommate Darlene, and her cousin Tom from Sunnyside, Florida and I all went on opening weekend to check things out. There weren't many patrons then and Tom and I or the 3 of us had the floor to ourselves. I took it upon myself to be a host of sorts and get the party started. "Get the PArty Stahrted...Out on the Dance Floor..."

"Most importantly, distract yourself now and then. Virgo worries. Virgo worries a lot! You run the risk of going a little overboard and getting somewhat compulsive."

"What Drives You Crazy:
If you haven't caught my drift by now--it's you! You can be your own worst enemy, Virgo. Stop driving yourself crazy by worrying about what might happen. Go for it!
"

I am Virgo, My Lover is Aries

Your Aries is an amazingly exciting lover! You are an earth sign, your lover is fire, and although these elements are not a classical astrological match, you both have so much to gain from making this relationship work. In many ways each of you has exactly what the other one lacks.

With four planets filling your everyday communications sector, this month you'll be at your productive best, Virgo. You will be caught in quite a whirlwind of activity, and as a Virgo, you couldn't ask for more. This environment, where multitasking, organizing and a healthy bit of pressure are de rigeur, is where you excel most. Other signs might cave in under so much to do and respond to, but this month you will thrive on it all.

"bring big news, kicking off an event in our lives that we will long remember, such as a marriage, a baby, a new financial deal, a new job, the start of one's own business, the purchase of a house — you get the idea."

"Saturday, November 30 the moon will cruise in Libra, and again, you feel your sexy best. More importantly, the Sun, in compatible Sagittarius, will send a beautiful beam to Neptune, a highly romantic vibration. Use this evening for a romantic dinner with someone you love — do it at a great restaurant if you can afford to. If not, whip up a great dinner of your own to surprise someone dear. Go to a foreign movie, see a play, hear a concert or enjoy a ballet. Cultural activities will shine, so get dressed up and make it a night on the town!"

Money and Career and Work: In the latter case, your best prospects are based a drive away, not in your town

"Now, for news of love — single Virgos may meet someone new and interesting at a community event, or on errands around the neighborhood. With the ruler of your house of love, Saturn, sending beautiful vibrations to Venus mid-month, the person you meet may stay around for quite a while — possibly forever! "

Emode.com - What's Your Best Quality? - Your Results kate, your best quality shines through in how Compassionate you are!

The fact that you're a caring and considerate person who is typically very loving, as well really draws people to you! But that's not the only thing. Your answers on the test indicate you're a smart person who is more able to understand complex concepts than many other people are. You are an independent person who is usually able to handle things in a self-sufficient manner, too.

In all, there are 15 qualities that help define you when you're at your best. Those are the traits potential employers, friends, and partners look for in you. What makes you unique is your particular distribution of those 15 qualities.

We've found that your particular combination of qualities is rare — only 3 in 10,000 people share the same general mix of traits. Those are great odds if you're trying to show a potential employer, colleague, friend, or date why you're exactly the right person for them.

Emode.com - Right Job, Wrong Job - Your Result As a Strategic type, you want to be able to express yourself and your ideas through work. Sure there's a time and place for rules and procedures, but when a good thought strikes you, you don't want it to be boxed into one way of thinking. You're willing to go outside the rules if there's a chance that the risk will reap big rewards.

You are stronger than most when it comes to generating ideas. And because of this, it might sometimes feel easier to take on all aspects of a job yourself instead of wasting time explaining it to someone else who might not "get it" like you do. But because you have so many ideas and are willing to take on so much, you might find that you sometimes have trouble finishing every project you start.

Your diplomacy and adaptability make you a valuable asset. But your need to feel invested in a company that allows you to express your original ways of thinking will ultimately impact how happy you are in the workplace.

forty.something Don't die with your music still in you

With fall all around, evident in the chilly breeze and bright oranges yellows and reds, i wonder what camp is like today. auntie M called me (well she pinged me online, I called her) today to see ifI was coming up...drats, im not! but i am looking forward to Courtney and Chris Patch's wedding tonight. those too have been toying with marraige for two years now. i'm quite excited to be a part of it! of course part of me had to wonder if they were going to show up in renessaince garb. then i might wish to have brought my high leather boots instead of my dancing shoes, and to have worn a long medieval dress instead of the cute hot pink and black latin number i brought out of my closet archives :-)

I know it's to be a great day: I talked to 3 of my 4 favorite men today. Markie of course is traveling to Saudi with his not so drapered female boss. The trip ends in Ireland where I know he will feel at home, so I trust I will see him at our Thurs Nov 14 Thai Lemon Grass dinner party. (You coming?) The other three include Dad, who easily completed his first week of radiation. He sounded chipper and well. Lords better than last spring when he was going through the trials of testing and surgeries. I look forward to our visit tomorrow! Jean-Pierre and I toyed with the sounds of L'Italia (a little follow up to yesterdays visit to Almania. Wie Gehts?)Can I hear my favorite Elvis song playing? I can't help falling in love... just ask Mr. Stephenson, a doppleganger of past lives who told me to have my own children... We listened to Elvis once ourselves... the story is wrapped up with Pietro, my dear French and Indian comrade who bought me coffee. When a man buys you drugs, he must love you, right! (Legal ones like coffee I mean, of course.)
