Seeing Stars for the Week of Thanksgiving ‘08 

aries (Mar. 21st-Apr. 20th) Give thanks for all the confidence you have, all the knowledge you possess, all the smooth moves you can throw down like butter, because they’re going to make you more appealing than a pool-sized vat of creamy mashed potatoes you could swim in naked. Now that’s hot.

My idea is this: the artist is extremely lucky who is presented with the worst possible ordeal which will not actually kill him. At that point, he’s in business. Beethoven’s deafness, Goya’s deafness, Milton’s blindness, that kind of thing. And I think that what happens in my poetic work in the future will probably largely depend not on my sitting calmly on my ass as I think, “Hmm, hmm, a long poem again? Hmm,” but on being knocked in the face, and thrown flat, and given cancer, and all kinds of other things short of senile dementia.

There you have it all in a neat refrain: the feminist superwoman, capable of working full time, managing a house, and curling up like a sex kitten in the boudoir after this 18 hour day. I think most women have figured out that this is, in fact, a myth. I’m not sure about the men. Back in the 1990s, I read a wonderful book called The Second Shift, by Arlie Hochschild. She examined the lives of married, working women. I’ll never forget her conclusion. What she discovered was that those working women married to unabashed, 1950s style male chauvinists, actually got more help from their husbands than women married to sensitive 90s style guys. It turned out that the chauvinists placed much more value on house work, and the effort that goes into it. When their wives had to work, they realized what a sacrifice that was, and pitched in around the house. The touchy-feely 90s style guys, however, had been raised on the Enjoli commercial and were convinced, despite all evidence to the contrary, that their wives could, in fact, bring home the bacon, fry it up it the pan, and sizzle in the bedroom. To the extent that sensitive guys helped around the house, in an ostensible spirit of equality, that help proved to be illusory. Thus, an earnest sensitive guy would explain that he was responsible for all outside chores, while his wife was responsible for all inside chores — which sounds like a fair division of labor. In fact, analysis showed that he took the garbage out once a week and mowed the lawn every two weeks, while his wife did all the shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry, household finances and, of course, child care (during Nanny’s time off).

Oración Milagrosa

Confío en ti mi Dios, padre, hijo y espíritu santo mi señor Jesús mi único salvador con todas las fuerzas te pido me concedas la gracia que tanto deseo, que él no pueda estar ni vivir tranquilo hasta que a mis pies venga a parar.

Oración a Santa Marta

Santa Marta virgen por caramanchel vas a consumir hoy por la llama con que se enciende esta vela y por el algodón con que se limpiaron los santos oleos te enciendo yo esta vela para que remedies mis necesidades, socorras mis miserias y me venzas todas las dificultades como venciste la fiera brava que tienes a tus pies, para ti no hay imposibles, dame suerte y dinero para cubrir mis miserias y necesidades.

Así madre mía concédeme que él no pueda estar ni vivir tranquilo hasta que a mis pies venga a parar, así madre mía concédeme lo que te pido para aliviar mis penas por el amor de Jesús, Santa Marta virgen que al monte entraste, las fieras bravas espantaste con tus cintas las ataste y con lo hisopo las amansaste a si madre mía si esto es verdad concédeme que él regrese a mi para siempre. Santa Marta que no lo dejes en silla sentar ni en cama acostar ni tenga un momento de tranquilidad hasta que a los pies míos venga a parar.

Santa Marta escúchame ampárame por el amor de Dios, AMEN.

Oración al espíritu del dominio.

Tu que dominas todos los corazones, domina el corazón de él. Con el poder infinito que tuvo Santa Marta para amansar el dragón, así yo quiero que amarres a él.Oh espíritu dominante! con tu divino poder que Dios te a dado haz que él sea dominado en cuerpo y alma por mi y que no pueda mirar a nadie mas que a mi, que su amor y su cariño solo sean para mi, que mi presencia le haga falta donde este, que no pueda estar tranquilo sin mi. Espíritu dominante, domina mis enemigos con tu divino poder que Dios te ha dado. AMEN

Se reza 9 Ave Marías y 1 Gloria al padre durante 9 días y luego al 9 día se publica la oración y se cumplirán tus deseos observa lo que ocurre al 4 día de su publicación.

Santa Marta, por favor, concédeme el deseo que te pido. Por el amor de Dios, Amén

whites are taught to think of their lives as morally neutral, normative, and average, and also ideal, so that when we work to benefit others, this is seen as work that will allow “them” to be more like “us.

What Roe said was that ending a pregnancy could be carried out by medical personnel, in a medically accepted setting, thus conferring on women, finally, the full rights of first-class citizens — and freeing their doctors to treat them as such.
