Cancer (June 21 - July 22) Big career move today! Oddly, your decision will be somehow related to a pamphlet called "Goat Herding Made Easy."
Oh the pain....

A very pudgy cat will annoy you, today.
- I dare say, a very pudgy cat would annoy me any day.
If it has to be,
then let's let it be

Don't remember because:
1) You were hungover in 1985?
2) You're too old to remember now?
3) Those are the only words you know how to type?
