I don’t remember when I signed up for this service, but I receive an email every day called “My Daily Forecast” from Astrology.com. No, I’m not a palm-reading, tarot-spreading, astrologically inclined person. (Or at least, anymore.) But I do enjoy reading my horoscope and seeing how close or how completely wrong it can be.

time to get on the assistantship apps for Missouri . [...]

wow.
