I am <drums roll please> The Diligent Ox Hard-working and persistent, ox people believe in themselves. An ox has high black and white moral standards and severely judges others against those ideals. Ox people are not terribly social and tend to be quiet at parties. Beneath a superfical tranquility, oxen are often ponderous but are impulsive when angry. They are capable of fearsome rages; therefore, it is better not to cross them. Ox people are good observers with remarkable memories and can accurately report absolutely everything they see. Go ask an ox if he remembers who was at the party several months ago, most likely, he will name them one by one to you. In the home, the ox is great to have around. In business, the ox can succeed in the arts, a contracting business, or an estate, thanks to his creative nature. And since an ox is intelligent and good with his hands, an ox can be a good surgeon as well. Ox people are stubborn and dogmatic, believing firmly in their decisions and having no regrets. They are also very close to their families. Ox people often find that those who are close to them fail to understand them. Nevertheless, they are patient and caring and that makes an ox the best friend you can ever have. Ox people are very responsible and loyal. They are very family-oriented, conservative and faithful. They are seldom jealous but they will be jealous of their rights - and the fidelity of a husband or a wife is one of their rights. The best matches for an ox are a rat, rooster, snake, or monkey. Good matches are another ox or rabbit. Ok matches are a pig or dog. A horse or tiger match is not recommended. *Some of the charactristics are pretty accurate, some are way off.....ah well, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

As I seem to have directed us hopelessly off topic let me add further to the light heartedness. I apologize in advance to the fellow members of my gender if the following provides your partner with much "that is so much like you" ammunition: What it REALLY MEANS ==================== "I can't find it," REALLY MEANS, "It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless." "That's women's work," REALLY MEANS, "It's dirty, difficult and thankless." "Will you marry me?" REALLY MEANS, "Both my roommates have moved out, I can't find the washer, and there is no more peanut butter." "It's a guy thing," REALLY MEANS, "There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical." "Can I help with dinner?" REALLY MEANS, "Why isn't it already on the table?" "It would take too long to explain, "REALLY MEANS, "I have no idea how it works." "I'm getting more exercise lately," REALLY MEANS, "The batteries in the remote are dead." "We're going to be late," REALLY MEANS, "Now I have a legitimate excuse to drive like a maniac." "Take a break, honey, you're working too hard, "REALLY MEANS, "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner." "That's interesting, dear," REALLY MEANS, "Are you still talking?" "Honey, we don't need material things to prove our love, REALLY MEANS, "I forgot our anniversary again." "You expect too much of me," REALLY MEANS, "You want me to stay awake." "It's really a good movie," REALLY MEANS, "It's got guns, knives, fast cars, and good looking women." "You know how bad my memory is," REALLY MEANS, "I remember the words to the theme song of "F Troop", the address of the first girl I kissed, the Vehicle Identification Number of every car I've ever owned, but I forgot your birthday." "Oh, don't fuss. I just cut myself. It's no big deal," REALLY MEANS, "I have actually severed a limb, but will bleed to death before I admit I'm hurt." "I do help around the house," REALLY MEANS, "I once threw a dirty towel near the laundry basket." "What did I do this time?" REALLY MEANS, "What did you catch me doing?" "She's one of the rabid feminists," REALLY MEANS, "She refused to make my coffee." "I heard you," REALLY MEANS, "I haven't the foggiest clue what you just said, and am hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you don't spend the next 3 days yelling at me." "You really look terrific in that outfit," REALLY MEANS, "Please don't try on another outfit. I'm starving." "I missed you," REALLY MEANS, "I can't find my sock drawer, the kids are hungry and we are out of toilet paper." "I'm not lost. I know exactly where we are," REALLY MEANS, "No one will ever see us alive again." "We share the housework," REALLY MEANS, "I make the messes. She cleans them up." "I don't need to read the instructions," REALLY MEANS, "I am perfectly capable of messing it up without printed help."
