Tuesday is the third day of the week.

The week is seven days long, running from Sunday through Saturday (on most calendars in the U.S.).

On  most calendars in the U.S. national holidays are indicated.

National holidays are indicated by either making the day number a special color and/or style, or just listing the name of the holiday inside the date box.

Just listing theto reme names of the holiday inside the date box is an easy way to remember important  holidays you wish to celebrate

To celebrate holidays can be fun.

Fun is enjoyment or pleasure and, according to Johan Huizinga, " an absolutely primary category of life, familiar to everybody at a glance right down to the animal level."

Level 42 was a British new-wave band from the 80's; they had such hits as "Something About You" and "Lessons In Love", both of which were popular in the US, but in their native homeland they had other well-known songs. However, I only know the two aforementioned singles, which were released a quarter-century ago from their album World Machine.

Machine Mart is Britain's Number One specialist supplier of Power Tools.

Tools are used for a variety of purposes, mainly for construction and repair, and related tasks.

Constellation International Airlines S.A. , was founded on June 23, 1995 and started operations with Boeing 727-200 aircraft from Brussels Airport, Belgium, which were replaced by brand new Airbus A320 aircraft, leased from International Lease Finance Corporation. Constellation International Airplanes was the first company in the Benelux to operate the Airbus A320 family series aircraft. Its markets were holiday flights and subservices for other companies, when the need arose. Constellation International Airlines ceased operations due to financial troubles on December 3, 1999 and was declared bankrupt on December 15, 1999.

December 15, 1999, was the day of my last final exam (which was actually a special speech) for the Fall 1999 academic semester in college. In addition, it was my last day of school in the 1990's, the 1900's, and the 1000's! My next semester began on January 10, 2000.

January 10 2000, America Online announces an agreement to purchase Time Warner for $162 billion (the largest-ever corporate merger).

Corporate mergers made the headlines quite frequently during that time period; everybody was buying each other out so much.

Much Ado About Nothing is a comedy by William Shakespeare about two pairs of lovers, Benedick and Beatrice, and Claudio and Hero.

"Claudio and Hero are sweet young people who are rendered practically speechless by their love for one another."

"Another Brick in the Wall" is the title of three songs set to variations of the same basic theme, on Pink Floyd's 1979 rock opera, The Wall, subtitled Part I (work title Reminiscing), Part II (work title Education), and Part III (work title Drugs), respectively, all of which were written by Pink Floyd's bassist, Roger Waters. It has become one of the most famous Pink Floyd songs.

Pink Floyd songs were popular with college students in the 1970s -- particularly those who experimented with hallucinogenic drugs.

Drugs, just say no!

No to drugs!

Drugs and alcohol are both bad for you.

Drugs and alchohol  are both bad for you if you abuse them.

Them! is a 1954 American black and white science fiction film about man's encounter with a nest of gigantic irradiated ants. It is based on an original story treatment by George Worthing Yates. It was developed into a screenplay by Ted Sherdeman and Russell Hughes for Warner Bros. Pictures Inc., and was produced by David Weisbart and directed by Gordon Douglas.

Gordon Douglas is not the father of Kirk Douglas.

"Footsteps" is a 1960 hit song by Steve Lawrence

Lawrence is the 6th largest city in the state of Kansas.

Kansas City, informally called "KC," is the largest city in the U.S. state of Missouri and is the anchor city of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, the second largest metro area in Missouri.

Missouri has levied more than $1 million of penalties against dozens of tax credit recipients.

Tax credit recipients must have done something illegal.

Illegal is a 1955 American film noir directed by Lewis Allen. It stars Edward G. Robinson, Nina Foch, Hugh Marlowe and Jayne Mansfield.

Mansfield Park is a novel by Jane Austen.

Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction set among the gentry earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature, her realism and biting social commentary cementing her historical importance among scholars and critics.

Critics are people who give their opinions and commentary about productions such as books and films.

Films are sometimes called movies by lots of folks.

Lots of folks use the term "movies"; you're correct. Others like to call it by other names, such as "the big screen."

The big screen reference for films is to distinguish them from television.

Television programs of the current era can be seen in high definition (on special TV sets which have that feature), thus making it seem kinda like a movie screen, due to the width of such a TV set.

A TV set is the centerpiece of many living rooms in America.

America was the name of a soft-rock band that had most of its hits in the 1970's, including "Sister Golden Hair", "Horse With No Name", "Ventura Highway", and "Tin Man."

Tin Man is the name of a character from the Wizard of Oz.

The Wizard of Oz is a great 1930's film that is sometimes frightening to small children.

Small children should not be exposed to too much violence...or anything that could potentially scare them to death.

Death is frightening to small children as well as to some adults.

Some adults (including me sometimes) still enjoy kid activities....heck, sometimes I like to go dig up some of my old toys, just for fun.

Just for fun, I enjoy coloring in coloring books!

Coloring books...wow; that would bring back lots of childhood memories for me! :D

Childhood memories, for me, are mostly fun and happy thoughts.

Fun and happy thoughts filled my childhood too; we even have lots of pictures from such events, including birthday parties and Christmas celebrations.

Christmas celebrations at our house included gifts, music and our whole family.

Our whole family enjoys both Christmas Eve and Christmas day together.

"Together Forever", a song by Rick Astley, sounds very similar to his previous hit, "Never Gonna Give You Up"; some of the chords used are the same.

The same applies to many other songs.

Many other songs use similar chords but in different combinations.

Different combinations can be achieved by arranging a series of items, such as books, in a number of ways.

In a number of ways, the man said he was in love.

Love is a many splendor thing.

Thing was the name of the individual hand (which served as a helpful assistant to the household) in "The Addams Family." In the original TV series, Thing was confined to a series of small boxes, but in the movie he was able to come completely out of the box.

The Box is a 2009 American science-fiction psychological-thriller film based on the 1970 short story "Button, Button" by Richard Matheson, which was previously adapted into an episode of the 1980s incarnation of The Twilight Zone.

"Twilight Zone" was also the name of a song recorded by the rock band Golden Earring. The song is about 7 minutes and 45 seconds long in its entirety, but some radio stations play a shorter version which is about 4 1/2 minutes long.

"Long Train Runnin'" (or "Long Train Running") is a song written by musician Tom Johnston and recorded by The Doobie Brothers.

The Doobie Brothers are my favorite group, I travel with their music.

Their music is great to listen to, whether you're in the car driving, or just relaxing at home. Some of their other great songs include "Black Water" and "Listen To The Music".

"The Music of the Night" is a song from the musical The Phantom of the Opera.

The Phantom Of The Opera had several songs, including a title track, which I like to listen to around Halloween.

Around Halloween, folks dress up and carve jack o'lanterns.

Jack-o'-lanterns are typically a carved pumpkin.

Typically a carved pumpkin holds a nice, bright candle.

A nice bright candle can certainly light up a room.

A room is a space where you live.

Where you live is called home.

"Home For The Holidays" can refer to a number of different things, including a Perry Como song, a couple different films, or an episode of the final season of the TV series Home Improvement.

Home Improvement was a great TV show and Tim Allen was very funny as he was in his standup routine involving men and their power tools.

Power tools are essential for performing most home improvement tasks in the modern world.

Most home improvement tasks in the modern world require a professional who knows what they are doing.

Who knows what they are doing by over-charging on the bill at the end of the day.

Xactly why do I keep getting the x in almost every game I play?

Who knows what they are doing by over-charging on the bill at the end of the day.

At the end of the day, I am usually tired and want to go to sleep.

Sleep is a naturally recurring state characterized by reduced or lacking consciousness, relatively suspended sensory activity, and inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles.

Xactly why do I keep getting the x in almost every game I play?

Sorry for the confusion on my part.
Sleep is a naturally recurring state characterized by reduced or lacking consciousness, relatively suspended sensory activity, and inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles.


Inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles is a condition akin to being in a coma.

Coma is not to be confused with comma, which has one more 'M' and a different vowel pronunciation than the other word. And of course, they also mean different things! ;)

Different Things is the ninth studio album by American country music artist Tracy Byrd.

Tracy Byrd just turned 44 last Friday.

Friday is Christmas Eve, a night when many people go to church with their families.

Many people go to church with their families on Christmas morning as well. In fact, my family has plans to do that this year.

This year we have been invited out for Christmas dinner.

Dinner this year was yummy on thanxgiving :)

On Thanksgiving, my daughter and I drove up to New York to visit my family  :)

Visit my family and eat great food, is what I do on the holidays.

What I do on the holidays is call all of my friends.

All of my friends will hopefully have a wonderful and safe holiday season. I talked to some of them on Facebook today.

Today is the eve of Christmas eve.

Christmas Eve is actually tomorrow.

"Tomorrow" is NOT how you pronounce my real name  >:(

"Name" was the title of the Goo Goo Dolls' first big hit song; it topped the Billboard Modern Rock chart in late 1995.

1995 was 1/2 way thru the 90s decade.

The 90's decade was quite memorable to me. I went from elementary school to middle school to high school...to college.

College is a 1927 comedy-drama silent film directed by James W. Horne and Buster Keaton, and starring Buster Keaton, Anne Cornwall, and Harold Goodwin.

Harold Goodwin is probably NOT related to two-time ex-Dodger player Tom Goodwin, whose two stints with the Dodgers occurred during the early 90's and early 2000's. Tom also played for the Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers, Colorado Rockies, San Francisco Giants, and Chicago Cubs, before calling it a career in 2004.

2004 was a leap year that started on a Thursday.

Thursday is the night in our house for spaghetti.

Spaghetti is one of my favorite meals, especially with meatballs and fresh parmesian cheese.

Cheese is a generic term for a diverse group of milk-based food products.

Milk-based food products give some people serious tummy troubles.

Serious stomach problems can occur when you mix the wrong types of food.

Food tastes BETTER when your hungry :)

Hungry I am much of the time.

The Times is a daily national newspaper published in the United Kingdom since 1785, when it was known as The Daily Universal Register.

Register-ing for an account is what people need to do to post in certain areas of the forum, such as this one.

This one (Penguin Board Games) is the most popular board on inthe00s.

InTheOOs is one of the best places to be on the net.

The Net is a 1995 American political thriller film directed by Irwin Winkler and featuring Sandra Bullock, Jeremy Northam and Dennis Miller.

Dennis Miller and Bette Midler are not related.

Dennis Miller and Bette Midler are not related; that's partly because their surnames differ by one letter.

Letter is a form of written communication.

Communication skills are very important tools to have in life.

Important tols to have in life include confidence in one's abilities.

Confidence in One's abilities is the beginning of a fun and successful life!

Life don't talk to me about life!

Talk to me about life -- I love to hear people's stories.

People's stores are always interesting especially when they come from older folks like me since we have experienced many things in many areas of life.

Many areas of life can be understood from a variety of perspectives.

A variety of perspectives is what makes the world go around.

"Around the World" is a song by the French electronic music duo Daft Punk.

Daft Punk released that song in the late 90's, and repeats the phrase "Around the world" multiple times during the entire 6 or 7 minutes (with instrumental breaks in between). Talk about a repetitive song that says nothing but its title for pretty much the whole run.

"Run to the Hills" was Iron Maiden's sixth single and the first single from their 1982 album The Number of the Beast.

The Number of the Beast, is often attributed to the number 666.

The number 666 is often associated with the devil.

"Devil Inside" by INXS, was a big hit in early 1988, and one of four tracks from the group's album Kick to crack the Top 10.

10 is a 1979 romantic comedy film directed by Blake Edwards and starring Bo Derek, Dudley Moore, and Julie Andrews.

Julie Andrews has a beautiful voice, and performed some of my favorite musical characters including Maria Von Trapp and Mary Poppins.

Mary Poppins was on television yesterday, but I did not watch it.

Watch it, on 12/21/12, the calendar will end for the Myan's.

Myan's or is it Mayan's?

Mayan's; I believe that is how they are known. But I do believe we know which group is being referred to in the post above the post above this one.

Mayan's; I believe that is how they are known. But I do believe we know which group is being referred to in the post above the post above this one.

Hey Nally, thanks for the correction....

In the post above the post the post above this one, I incorrectly spelled Mayan's, the ancient culture.

^it's quite all right; I was only responding to Philip's post. No need to worry. ;)

Culture Club was a British new-wave band of the 80's, fronted by Boy George; they had hits which included "Karma Chameleon", "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me", "I'll Tumble 4 Ya", and "Miss Me Blind."

Blind and deaf, Helen Keller was able to overcome her handicaps and was enentually able to communicate.

Communicate is to convey information.

Information is the revolution we are now experiencing.

We are now experiencing how to communicate electronically with lots of different gadgets and things like that.

To communicate electronically with lots of diferent gadgets and things like that create a bombardment of information that can be overwhelming. :o

Overwhelming feelings come over many people as one year ends and another begins.

Begins another year is what they will say thinking tommorow!

Tomorrow is New Years Day and we bid 2010 Goodbye!

"Goodbye Stranger" is a song by Supertramp that I have heard on the radio at least three times in the last 24 hours (on different stations). Must be one of those songs that still gets mucho airplay after several years.

After several years, we will know if the Mayan preidiction was correct.

Correct is opposite for wrong

Wrong numbers often call our home phone, possibly from having dialed an intended number incorrectly, such as transposing the digits, or just hitting a wrong button or something.

Hitting a wrong button or something is how many text messages end up incorrect and leave people feeling confused.

Confused chickens, do they lay scrambled eggs?

Scrambled Eggs was the working title for Paul McCartney's "Yesterday".

Yesterday was the start of a brand new year.

The start of a brand new year brings hope for everyone.

Everyone deserves the best this year; hopefully things will work out well.

Things will work out well for those that maintain a positive attitude.

A positive attitude is needed when applying yourself when on jobsearch.

Job search skills are worth learning in this economy.

This economy can be resolved this year, hopefully.

This year, hopefully, I will get a good job.

This year, hopefully, I will get a good job too. Gotta start searching again tomorrow...

A good job is hard to find.

This year, hopefully, I will get a good job too. Gotta start searching again tomorrow...
Tomorrow, is when I go back to work after a long break over the holiday season.

Over the holiday season, many workplaces are shut down so that their employees can enjoy the holidays with their families.

Employees can enjoy the holidays with their families when their employer has a heart and gives them time off.

Time off is great, for awhile, but not if it means you are chronically unemployed.

Chronically unemployed folks must have a hard time adjusting to the future.

The future is dependent upon the choices we make today.

The choices we make today are not that difficult as long as we put our minds into it.

As long as we put our minds into it, we can accomplish anything!

We can accomplish anything with the correct focus.

"Focus, Pinky, focus!" The Brain often said that to Pinky, in various episodes of the animated TV series "Pinky And The Brain."

The brain is a pretty handy tool.

Tool was an alternative rock band that was popular in the 1990's.

In the 1990's lots of folks made money in the stock market.

The stock market crossed some notable milestones during that decade, especially during the years Bill Clinton was president of the US.

During the years Bill Clinton was president, Republicans took control of both houses of Congress.

Republicans took control of both houses of Congress then, as you said, but in the recent election (that of 2010) they only retook control of The House Of Representatives. Times do change!

Times do change, from decade to decade, as we often discuss on this website. 

This website has seen various users come and go in its multi-year history, but others have hung on since it was first started by ChuckyG.

ChuckyG resides in the USA.

The USA (United States of America) is a union of 50 states.

50 states each have their own capital cities. For my state, California, that would be Sacramento...but I have never been to that area in my life. Someday I'd like to go.

Someday I'd like to go traveling to places far far away.

"Far Far Away" was a track from the album Slade In Flame, released by the British hard-rock band Slade in the 70's. Not to be confused with "Run Runaway", which they released a decade later, and became a big hit.

A big hit, many of, was had by Elvis Presley.

Elvis Presley would have been in his seventies had he lived.

Had he lived, he would have turned 76 today.

Today is January 9th 2011.

2011 is the current year.

The current year is just over a week old.

Old troubles can be let go and we have a new start.

Starting Over is an American reality TV show that follows the lives of women who are experiencing difficulty in their lives and want to make changes, with the help of life coaches.

Life Coaches on Starting Over were amazing Rhonda Britton was there for the whole run of the series. Iyanla Van Zant joined in season two. The other life coach from Season one, Rana Walker, she kinda looked like Sideshow Bob  ;D

http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/00Yj0Ns5m103j/610x.jpg

Sideshow Bob, is a recurring character in the animated television series The Simpsons.

The Simpsons was once funny but now reaches to provide fresh entertaining material.

The Simpsons was once funny but now reaches to provide fresh entertaining material, know in the television trade trade as "Jumping The Shark".

Jumping the shark is an idiom used to denote the point in a television program's history where the plot spins off into absurd storylines or unlikely characterizations.

Unlikely characterizations can happen in a show if it's on "too long", so to speak.

If it's on too long, so to speak, a TV show goes into reruns.

A TV show goes into reruns, usually when it has been on for several seasons but is still in production; it definitely gets reran if it has ended permanently, usually so that the viewers can continue to watch it.

It doesnt take much to understand he didnt care who won,all he wanted was the $$$ and thats sad!

Thats sad that your dog got run over by a car the other day

The other day I was onhere, but now I'm not sure just what you guys are talking about.

What you guys are talking about is random events that occurred during the day.

During the day today (Thursday), I went to a funeral for my great-aunt, as mentioned in the thread for Feelings and News Of Any Form in the PPP.

PPP-Poker face
(she's got to love nobody)
Can't read my
Can't read my
No he can't read my poker face

"Poker Face" by Lady Gaga, is the song that contains those lines.

Lines of cocaine are often done at raves... Even though it's illegal

Illegal drugs can get the possessor into serious trouble if said person is caught.

Caught with your pants down can be highly embarrassing

Caught with your pants down can be highly embarrassing regardless of where you are standing at the time.

"Time After Time" is a single by singer Cyndi Lauper

Speech therapy, or speech-language therapy is the treatment for most kids with speech and/or language disorders. When I was in school, I had a classmate who had such a disorder, since he was often difficult to understand.

Understanding (also called intellection) is a psychological process related to an abstract or physical object, such as a person, situation, or message whereby one is able to think about it and use concepts to deal adequately with that object.

Object oriented programming was a challenging computer-programming class that I needed to take in order to receive a certificate in computer programming, which will hopefully help me find a good job.

A good job is hard to find.

A good job is hard to find for many people these days, especially me. This year I hope to find one, even if it's at the entry level.

Level 42 is an English pop rock and jazz-funk band which had a number of worldwide and UK hits during the 1980s and 1990s.

During the 1980s and 1990s, I was a kid; however, I entered adulthood in 1998, since that was the year I turned 18.

18 (eighteen) is the natural number following 17 and preceding 19.

"19" was the title of a song recorded by Paul Hardcastle; the title refers to the average age of a soldier in the Vietnam War, which is discussed greatly (with spoken words) in the context of the song.

The Song of Roland (French: La Chanson de Roland) is the oldest surviving major work of French literature.

French Literature books make learning worthwile.

Worthwile is sufficiently valuable or important to be worth one's time.

Time passes by quickly when you are having fun.

"Fun, Fun, Fun", written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love, was a hit single by The Beach Boys that was released in 1964 on the band's album Shut Down Volume 2.

2 be or not to be.

To be or not to be, that is the question.

The question of the day.

The Day of the Jackal (1971) is a thriller novel by English writer Frederick Forsyth, about a professional assassin who is contracted by the OAS, a French terrorist group of the early 1960s, to kill Charles de Gaulle, the President of France.

The President of France right now is Nicolas Sarkozy; he has held the office since May 16th of 2007.

2007 was a good year for film with the release of "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street"

Fleet Street is a street in central London, England, named after the River Fleet, a stream that now flows underground. It was the home of the British press until the 1980s. Even though the last major British news office, Reuters, left in 2005, Fleet Street continues to be used as a metonym for the British national press.

Press release is a term given to a written or recorded communication directed at members of the news media for the purpose of announcing something claimed as having news value; typically, they are mailed, faxed, or emailed to news media members.

Parliament-Funkadelic is a funk, soul and rock music collective headed by George Clinton.

George Clinton is a funk musician known for songs such as "Atomic Dog."

Atomic Dog" is a song by George Clinton from his 1982 album Computer Games.

Computer games have come a long way since that time.

"Time in a Bottle" is a posthumous Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit for singer-songwriter Jim Croce

Jim Croce had some great songs during the early 1970's, and continued to be popular on the music scene after his untimely death.

Untimely deaths come so unexpected.

Unexpected things can happen at any time.

Time is a part of the measuring system used to sequence events, to compare the durations of events and the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change such as the motions of objects.
