BLUE PLACIDOLA
Your compete MICRO*scope for today

You are the type of person who maintains an oasis of calm in the midst of any storm. Family and friends often ask the question "Are you coming?" for no apparent reason. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time at a garage sale seeking to buy either a rechargeable battery for your computer or shoe laces for your snow boots. Be on the lookout for gnomes hiding in cypress trees. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter D, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 209451. Your preferred shopping venue is department stores. Your special symbol is the at sign (@).


Is this You?

She's fallen on hard times, and fallen quite hard. Her husband of twelve years, Paul Pumpernickel has dumped her and their three young children to pursue insurance alternatives with Tricia Comer -- Smilin' Ted's sister and business partner in the All Comers Insurance Agency. Pollyana is distraught, to say the least. Paul Pumpernickel had been the dutiful househusband and caring father in his marriage partnership with Pollyana, but those duties fell onto the heavily burdened shoulders of Pollyana. The burden was too much. Pollyana's Pet Palace plundered into oblivion, leaving Pollyana penniless and jobless. Her only alternative was our government's public assistance program -- what you and I know as welfare. She's not pleased with her current social status, and neither, apparently is Winston Smythe Kennsington III, who ridicules poor Pollyana at every opportunity.
