Orange juice, orange soda, Whats the difference? A woman has been killed, stuffed in a pot, seasoned with carrots and eaten by pygmies! and all your concerned about is the capitol of Uganda? No wonder crimes arent solved in african nations, they're too busy arguing over where the capitol is!

God bless these idealistic volunteers, but many are very naive, and may not be prepared for the primitive living conditions and cultures where they are stationed. RIP to this young woman's family.

Daily Horoscope for December 19

Taurus

Someone is very short-tempered, and they're liable to fly off the handle at a moment's notice. Maybe they're feeling vulnerable in some way or are desperately trying to defend what they see as their territory. Be sensitive to this and don't goad them into being even more irritable or upset than they are already. Frankly, it's just not worth it.
