Do you live or have lived in Chicago?

I just want to share an email forwarded by my previous client, Joe.

This made me laugh! All of them are true... :)

This is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Chicago...

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you live in Chicago.

If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you live in Chicago.

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Chicago .

If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you live in Chicago.

If 'Vacation' means going anywhere south of I-80 for the
weekend, you live in Chicago.

If you measure distance in hours, you live in Chicago.

If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again, you live in Chicago.

If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Chicago.

If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you live in Chicago.

If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a
snowsuit, you live in Chicago.

If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you live in Chicago.

If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are
filled with snow, you live in Chicago.

If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter
and road construction, you live in Chicago.

If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you live in Chicago.

If you find 10 degrees 'a little chilly', you live in Chicago.

If you actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all your Chicago friends & others, you live, or have lived, in Chicago.

Prison break is ending? Oh no!

That's it. No more "Friday Movie Nights" for me and my husband. Prison break is moving its telecast on Fridays. Actually, despite that Friday is a movie night for me and my husband (and a friend), there are still some advantages:

(1) We can save money, of course! hahaha..."no more movie nights" only means $20-less expenses! (Oh, we can still watch movies on Saturdays, right?!? Oh well, let's just dump the idea!)

(2) Since my next project will just be 3-day out of state assignment (Tue-Thurs), I can watch PB with my husband which I really want to happen. Before, when it was still being shown on Monday nights, for every commercial, I need to call my husband and we discuss the happenings, exchange views, blah blah then hung up again once the show comes back.

Let me just repost my entry in Friendster bulletin:

Ri-freaking-diculous. First we get the announcement that Prison Break will be returning on April 17th, then we get the annoucement that it's moving to Fridays. Everyone will tell you that Friday nights are the kiss of death for TV shows, so I'm kind of pissed that Fox can't even let the show remain on Mondays for the remainder of its run.

Oh yeah, and we have received official confirmation that Prison Break is ending. Don't start crying. We all knew this day was coming. But it's hard.....I know..... Here's what Fox (who I'm not pleased with right now) has to say:

The greatest escape on television comes to an end after four suspenseful seasons when PRISON BREAK returns for the series' final episodes beginning Friday, April 17 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Following a series of double-crosses, the brothers now find themselves racing to retrieve SCYLLA, which unbeknownst to them has landed in the possession of their estranged mother and Company operative Christina (Kathleen Quinlan).

And yes... have I mentioned that PB is soon to end?!? Nice.
