Two friends meet each other on the street. "Hello! Where are you coming from?" asked Bill. "Oh, don't ask me! I'm coming from the cemetery. I just burried my mother-in-law" replied Sid. "I'm so sorry!" said Bill, "But why is your face schratched all over?". "It wasn't so easy!" said Sid, "She put on a heck of a fight!"

Horoscopes
Aries
If it makes you feel warm, snuggly and eminently well taken care of, you'll be drawn to try it -- and if there's any way you can afford to buy it, you will. Also, if anyone knows how therapeutic shopping can be, it's you. Just try to avoid malls. You're after quality, not quantity, and you definitely won't settle for anything less. Go hit that new shop downtown. That's where you'll find what you want.
Taurus
For the next few weeks, you'll be a veritable magnet for the affection and attention of admirers, new and old. If you happen to be happily attached, better find a way now to make your current partner know just how much you care. Because when the crowd around you starts to grow thick -- and it will -- they'll need your reassurance. And if you're single, enjoy that dazzling allure. Just be sure to make your choice wisely.
Gemini
You're feeling especially grounded and stable, and totally unwilling to take any guff from anyone. It's called confidence -- self-confidence -- and it's the result of something you did recently that proved to others and, more importantly, to yourself that you're a force to be reckoned with. When you set your mind to something, anything's possible. Keep up the good work.
Cancer
There, now. Just get through today, and it will officially be time for two days and three blissful nights away from anything even remotely resembling responsibility. And you surely can't wait after the week you've had. Well, keep in mind that someone who's been watching you cope from afar may have something special in mind, something to help you forget things. Don't ruin the surprise -- oh, and you didn't hear it here.
Leo
You've been trying to find the perfect time to approach a certain higher-up, and it looks like this is it. Gather your courage -- and proof of how wonderful you've been -- and go see them. Lay it all out on the table, or desk, as the case may be. They'll be more than receptive to your demands, especially if you phrase them as charmingly as you've been phrasing everything else today.
Virgo
You've been missing someone, and it's time to make that stop. Well, what's the holdup? Get together with them now, either at their place or, better yet, at yours -- since you've probably been polishing it all week. You won't want to be in public, and you won't want a group gathering. You need quality one-on-one time with this particular loved one. Go ahead and arrange it.
Libra
Most of the time, your main focus is other people. You concentrate on what they like, what makes them happy and how to please them -- because doing that makes you happy, too. For the next couple of weeks, however, you'll be far more interested in financial matters, and you have every right to turn your attention in that direction, too. You need to take care of a certain matter that's had you absolutely stumped. Ask for help if you need it.
Scorpio
Why are you still missing the loved one you've had on your mind for some time now? You're an adult, and you have all the right technology in place to stop that feeling. Go see them! Or, better still, lure them to your place for the weekend. There's no reason to punish yourself -- and them, by the way -- any longer. Put an end to this now. You'll be in a much better mood when Monday rolls around if you do.
Sagittarius
If dear ones try to take your temperature when you offer to work late once again, don't even try to keep from laughing. They're just not used to seeing you be quite this diligent. Little do they know, you're trying to afford yourself the luxury of an entire weekend off, just this once. Complete with a Saturday morning all to yourself -- starting anytime you want it to, not at eight sharp.
Capricorn
This is one of those periods that absolutely everyone wishes for -- especially since it's happening on a weekend. You've been astrologically endowed with all the right stuff to have a warm, wonderful, romantic adventure with the one you love. And whether you choose to take off to an exotic location or simply turn your living room into one doesn't matter. You'll truly enjoy each other's company.
Aquarius
You're still on that chatty roll, ready and willing to charm just about anyone into just about anything. As of this afternoon, the heavens will be adding a bit of determination to the mix, so feel free to schedule all those talks you've been putting off for far too long. It's time to put all of your cards on the table and let everyone know exactly what you want from them
Pisces
Got the feeling that you've been here, done this and have the t-shirt, too? Well, you could be right. Just don't be so confident in the outcome of the situation that you start thinking you have absolutely nothing to say about it. Remember free will? We've all got it, and using it is what keeps us going. Exercise that right and make some choices, no matter how things 'seem' to be turning out.
