Animal Visitor of the Day
In the continuing series of "Sara has the most fun at work", my co-worker brought in his 8 week old puppies today. We had a good time playing with them and they even joined us at a meeting! They joined the ranks of other exciting TV Guide visitors, the tiger and the baby bear.

Globbing for Charity
I don't have a lot of time, but I just had to glob, because Diana is donating $1 for this post to Ahavas Yisrael and Shoshana is matching that! If you didn't think that Diana was a mitzvah girl before she came up with this terrific idea, she certainly is now. Tizki L'Mitzvot, Princess!

Wedding Ring Deflects Robber's Bullet, Saves Mississippi Store Owner's Life, Police Say
Sunday , December 02, 2007
JACKSON, Mississippi —
Police say a Mississippi man's wedding band deflected a bullet and probably saved his life.Two men walked into Donnie Register's shop at The Antique Market in Jackson on Saturday and asked to see a coin collection, police Sgt. Jeffery Scott said.
When Register retrieved the collection, one of the men pulled a gun and demanded money. A shot was fired as Register threw up his left hand, and his wedding ring deflected the bullet, police said.
"The bullet managed to go through two of his fingers without severing the bone," said his wife, Darlene Register. "A part of the bullet broke off and is in his middle finger. The other part is in his neck, lodged in the muscle tissue. But it's not life-threatening."
She said she gives God all the credit.
Police were searching for the robbers, who Scott said "stole a substantial amount of cash."

Words of Wisdom
Bad4shidduchim is going to love this one.
From last night's episode of Samantha Who?
Regina: You're never going to get a date if you just stay home all night. Marriage doesn't just happen. You gotta get out there and expose yourself to it; like chicken pox!
Hattip: E.A. for the impetus to post this. ABC.com for the full episode viewer so I could get the exact quote.

LOTD
I thought this was appropriate due to the strike of the Broadway stagehands.
Broadway
Goo Goo Dolls
Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
The cowboy kills the rock star
And Friday night's gone too far
The dim light hides the years
On all the faded girls
Forgotten but not gone
You drink it off your mind
You talk about the world like it's someplace that you've been
You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten, around here
Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
You choke down all your anger
Forget your only son
You pray to statues when you sober up for fun
Your anger don't impress me
The world slapped in your face
It always rains like hell on the loser's day parade
You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
When you're thinkin' you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here
Broadway's dark tonight
A little bit weaker than you used to be
Broadway's dark tonight
See the young man sittin' in the old man's bar
Waitin' for his turn to die
You see, you'd love to run home, but you know you ain't got one
Cuz you're livin' in a world that you're best forgotten
When you're thinkin' you're a joke and nobody's gonna listen
To the one small point I know they've been missing around here
Round here, yeah
