So, watching 1,000 Ways To Die on Spike TV, and found out that Houdini died of appendicitis, not in one of his tricks, like we've been led to believe. 2 days before the show he collapsed at, a guy went to him and challenged him to prove he was real. During that, the guy punched him in the stomach several times, causing his appendix to rupture. He died 2 days later of the blood infection.
Now how come we were all told he died trying to get out of that water trick?
Better marketing. Nobody would want to, say, visit a hospital, but they would flock to see other magicians try and do the illusion (true magicians don't use the word "trick") that killed Houdini! Right?
I'm talking more about history books than anything else. Those should, at the very least, be accurate. This is the first time I've heard that he died of sepsis, and not drowning. He never even made it into that tank of water. At the time, yeah, lie your butt off for mo' money. I can see that. After learning the truth, and writing about him, why keep perpetuating the lie? What does it serve?
Also, why does this bother me so much??? smile
Because you're an honorable person, and you want everyone else to be, also. It has only been recently, remember, that there was, readily available, a way to compare and research various sources. We are so fortunate to have the Internet, the world at our fingertips!
Oh, yeah. I'm "that" lady who told my kids, "when I was your age, to do a research paper, I had to spend hours and hours at the library in the research dept, because those books couldn't be checked out...." They just giggled, with the "I know, Mom" look on their faces.
Had 2 dreams this morning. First, I went to visit the pharmacist who supervised me on my externship at his new store (he's a manager now) and he gave me a job because I'm not working yet, and he loved my work ethic. Second, I marched into HR at Lodi Memorial and convinced him to give the the recently vacated job. So, Monday, I'm gonna go do both, and make at least ONE of those dreams come true.
YES!! Positive affirmations. I will do the same for you. Go, girl! Come on, everybody .. think positive thoughts. SEE Robynn exulting over a new job. Together we can change the world.

Also, last night, I get texts from a friend of a friend (I took care of his "willful" child last summer to do some behavior mod) and his brother is a pharmacist. Told me about a temp agency online, who fills med personnel for military, and non-military, sites. Put my resume there this morning, as he finally found the name of it this morning.

Lord, no. My contacts are YEARS out-of-date. Wouldn't know where to start! Sorry. Best I can do is support you with positive thoughts. I am praying for you!
By sheer luck, I managed to breed a Silver Dragon!! I, however, have enough Silvers that I can be happy with for now. I want to offer THIS Silver Dragon egg to someone who doesn't all ready have a Silver on their scroll. I've set this up for a 2-way trade. I would like any color stripe except white, any of the newest batch of eggs, a summer seasonal egg, a nebula, a ridgewing, a pillow, a vampire egg, a daydream, or an ice/thunder/magma egg in return. Surprise me. :3 Just note that I will be checking your scroll to see if you have a Silver on there all ready. Otherwise... First Come, First Serve. ^_^
Its expired and I was offering my two Ultraviolet eggs sad

More new eggs. I'm mostly breeding these so that I have a greater chance of influencing eggs to be the gender I want. I'll continue hunting for rarer eggs when this group has hatched.
HAIIII GUISE. I AM BAAAACK~! Also I had a name change. Remember My Distortion? That is I. xD I am sorry I was so busy in life and I haven't keep myself up to date on this. sweatdrop I wonder what is happening lately. Also sorry for the inactivity since last Christmas. xD

Yeah, I saw that the little bugger grew up. However, rebecca had all ready PMed me about it and sent a trade request in before you sent yours in. sweatdrop So, she's gonna get the silver. Sorry. If I get another silver egg any time soon, I'll try to let you know about it first.
