Hola!

Yes, this is Storyteller.

I AM supposed to be posting on here sometimes, so I suppose I should get better at this. =P

By the way, I really just love that photo. It was my profile pic for awhile, but I just needed a change. (If you can call a red haired girl archer a change. I call that a change. A big change.)

Funny story about the red haired archer profile picture--

OK, so I was replying to a comment on one of my posts, and I hadn't used the pic yet in a comment, and I published my comment and it popped up and I was like "WHOA! WHO JUST COMMENTED?!" (It was really strange, too, because I always have comment moderation on my blogs...) And that's when I went and realized it was me. =P Yeah, I'm feeling not very smart right now, lol.

I was wondering--how do you guys like this blog design? (I do Otter Days' designs) I was thinking of redoing it..... please talk to me about this....

Later gator. ;)

Weed?

This is a weed, sharp and poky on the outside, but when you get a closer look, a Flower is beneath. I took this picture myself and didn't enhance it at all. I hope you will think about this beautiful flower.

What does the twelve days of Christmas mean?

Who knows what the song, "The Twelve days of christmas" means? Well, a couple days ago I found out.

From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember.
-The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ.

-Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.

-Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love.-

-The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.

-The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.

-The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation.
-Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.

-The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes.

-Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.

-The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments.

-The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples.

-The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed.

Well there is your lesson for the day!

I will try to get back into posting!

Redneck roadkill

So there were three rednecks walking down a country road. They find a dead opossum that was ran over.

The 1st redneck says, "that there looks tasty"!

The 2nd redneck says, "I don't much like opossum."

The 3rd redneck says, "I'm a waitin for something better.

So... the 1st redneck eats the opossum.

Then, down the road they find a dead rabbit.

The 1st redneck says he's full. The 2nd redneck says he likes rabbit and the 3rd redneck says he's still waitin for something better.

So... the 2nd redneck eats the rabbit.

Further down the road the first two rednecks who ate the opossum and the rabbit start barfing like crazy.

The 3rd redneck says, "Finally, a nice warm meal!"

Yuck!

Printer Problems

I had been doing Tech Support for Hewlett-Packard's DeskJet division for about a month when I had a customer call with a problem I just couldn't solve. She could not print yellow. All the other colors would print fine, which truly baffled me because the only true colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow.

For instance, green is a combination of cyan and yellow, but green printed fine. Every color of the rainbow printed fine except for yellow. I had the customer change ink cartridges. I had the customer delete and reinstall the drivers. Nothing worked. I asked my coworkers for help; they offered no new ideas.

After over two hours of troubleshooting, I was about to tell the customer to send the printer in to us for repair when she asked quietly, "Should I try printing on a piece of white paper instead of this yellow paper?"

600 stories high

Tom, Dick and Harry went to a party. After the party they returned to the hotel. The hotel was 600 stories high.

Unfortunately for them, the elevator was not working. They made a plan for the first 200 stories, Tom will crack jokes.

The second 200 stories Dick will tell a happy story and lastly Harry will tell a sad story.They then started up the steps

After 2 hours it was Harry's turn. He turned to the other two and said "Ok guys, here's my sad story. I forgot the keys downstairs."

Going into detail on politics

For you who haven't been keeping up on the conventions and politics in general, on Tuesday night Michelle Obama was the keynote speaker at the Democrat National Convention, and Last night Bill Clinton spoke. There was one part when I realized how far gone our country was, it was when they held a vote, deciding whether or not they should keep God in their platform (Or What they stand for, kind of like their statement). They got their way, and God was removed from their statement. Clinton's speech went on for 50 minutes, and I think that more that one person was glad that it was over. Obama came out and they hugged and exchanged a few words, then it was over. Tonight Joe Biden will be speaking, he will introduce Obama.

Then there was the Republican convention, which was very recently. My favorite part was definitely when CLint Eastwood did his questioning of Obama, of course, Obama woudn't have been caught dead there, but Clint had a chair which he pretended Obama was sitting in and pretended to talk to him. Then he would create a answer. He had the audience rolling in laughter.

The Democrats believe they won the election last night, even as the debt toll went above 16 trillion. Do you think they won? Can we afford four more?
