My Get Rich Quick Scheme

I've seen a lot of get-rich-quick schemes. They invariably involve pyramid schemes, questionable products, and someone getting seriously screwed over.

But I have a better idea. It's a win-win situation! Neither of us loses out! Here's how it goes.

I put $20 in a box. You put $20 in the same box. We both know there's $40 in there.

I sell you the box for $30.

We each make $10 profit.

We can do this until we're both gazillionaires!

A War Wedding

My life is made of five long nights
And five swift days, like birds whose flights

Have taken them to where the earth
Below them, is a small, strange thing
Of very little worth.

My life is made of five bright days
And five kind nights. I heard you praise

My beauty, in your faint, hushed tone
That no one else has ever heard.
And this is all I own.

Five nights and five strange days, and then
You died to save your fellow-men.

I never lived until I saw
Within your eyes that thirst and awe.

And I shall never live again.

Getting Back Up

I haven't done regular weight training in weeks because of the wrenched muscle in my back from holiday shenanigans. But my back didn't bother me at all yesterday. It's a sign. Time for me to get back to the gym before my muscles fall off.

Help!: In Need of a Fill-In Dance Teacher on Wednesday

My sister is having her baby on Wednesday, and I need to be there for the birth. I am also scheduled to begin teaching beginner belly dance classes that night in Kitchener. Silly baby, being inconvenient. Who does she think she is, anyway?

I am in search of someone to fill in for my class that night. It's just one hour, from 6:30-7:30 at a seniors' centre in downtown Kitchener, and I'll pay $25.

If you can help out, please let me know. And please spread the word along, if you know someone who can help.

Thank you.

EDIT: FILLED! Thanks, Kathryn! :D
