From Rumour Queen:
Let’s move that to an R4
December 29th, 2008
Enough agencies are now saying that the cut off is the 28th that I’m going to move it to an R4.
Hopefully we’ll hear from agencies later whether they have something on the way to them or not. If referrals arrive today then I feel pretty comfortable saying we’ll likely see another batch just before they break for their CNY holiday.

Can you guess which one of us is the tiger and which is the rabbit??
Tigers:
" Tigers may not be the king of the jungle, but these striped cats are no
softies! Magnetic and self-possessed, Tigers are born leaders. They have an
air of authority that prompts others to fall in line, which is exactly how
they like it. Although they are magnetically charming and fun to be around,
Tigers like to go it alone sometimes too. A Tiger's main interest is in
following its ambitions -- and maintaining control.
Tigers are courageous beyond compare and generally come out ahead in battle,
be it in the boardroom or the bedroom. Seduction is one area where the Tiger
is definitely king! Noble and warm-hearted, Tigers have a natural, raw
appeal that's extremely attractive to other Signs. They're not just about
attraction, though; ever on the side of right, Tigers will fight the good
fight to the bitter end if the cause is worthy. Opponents are wise to fear
this feline.
A bit of caution is a good thing around Tigers, since they can pounce
without warning. They experience mood swings and often feel things more
intensely than others, the latter quality being both good and bad. They can
react poorly under stress and are prone to emotional outbursts. This Sign's
bristling sensitivity can send friend and foe running for cover.
A lesson that Tigers would be well-served to learn is moderation in all
things. Once these cats can find their center and direct their considerable
energies toward worthwhile endeavors (as opposed to racing through life),
they will accomplish much."
Rabbits:
"Timid and attractive, the Rabbits of the Chinese Zodiac tend to act more
like bunnies, whether they like it or not! This Sign is extremely popular
and has a wide circle of family and friends. Its compassionate nature leads
it to be very protective of those it holds dear, but where romance is
concerned, the Rabbit's sentimentality can lead it to idealize
relationships. The sweet, sensitive Rabbit often ends up giving more of
itself to a partner than is realistic or healthy. The good news is, when
this Sign goes off-balance, the Rabbit's core group of friends and its
stable home life help bring it back to center.
The Rabbit is a rather delicate Sign that needs a solid base in order to
thrive. Lacking close, supportive friends and family, the Rabbit might just
break down in tears at the first sign of conflict. Emotional upsets in this
Sign's life can even lead to physical illnesses. Rabbits dislike arguments
and other conflict and will try anything to avoid a fight; this results in
something of a pushover nature. Rabbits can also lapse into pessimism and
may seem stuck in life -- often to mask their insecure natures. Rabbits tend
to move through life's lessons at their own, rather contemplative pace; it's
a waste of time to become exasperated with this Sign's seeming disinterest
in facing its problems and conquering them.
With the right partner -- meaning someone whose high principles won't allow
it to take advantage of this sensitive, giving Sign -- the Rabbit can make
an incredibly loving and protective partner or family member. Rabbits love
to entertain at home and always make sure their house is comfortable and
tastefully-furnished. What Rabbits need most is a stronger sense of
self-worth and the security that comes with it. Their discerning natures,
coupled with some hard-won assertiveness, will help these happy creatures go
far."
It's amazing how these signs are sooo accurate!!

Chinese New Year ~ Jan 26th/09 ~ the year of the Ox
Two batches of referrals coming beforehand?? (It's a Rumour....but...we sure hope it's true (geeting closer and closer to March 15/06!!)
The following was posted on Rumour Queen on December 26th:
"R3 - February 28"
"Two agencies are saying the cut off is the 28th.
If agencies are hearing the cut off date, then that could mean referrals aren’t so far away. Perhaps the CCAA is going to work to get two more batches out before they leave for their CNY holiday."
Could it be true???
