A partial list of things I should probably tell every prospective girlfriend: • Nothing turns me on more than a sexy French brides- maid costume.

• I didn’t listen to a lot of television growing up. I was more into watching books and reading the radio.

• Unless you claim it, I will always take and eat the last slice of any pizza. (NOTE: Holding it in your hands and raising it to your mouth does not, in my mind, constitute a sufficient claim.)

• I’m one-quarter Jewish but try to use my powers only for good, like when I’m ordering a sandwich at a deli or writing an angry letter to KRUI customer service. programming • Without my collection of bad habits and vices, I’m not sure WEDNESDAY I’d even exist.

Wednesday, November 18, 2015 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be open to trying something new, and it will lead to new beginnings. You don’t need to work with others in order to accomplish things. Plan to spend downtime with someone you love and celebrate what you achieved. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Avoid giving handouts or donations. You can offer assistance in a unique way that is far more cost-effective and much more informative. You will meet interesting people and learn a lot from volunteering your time. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can make things happen as long as you don’t take on too much or set an unrealistic budget. You’ll dazzle people with your ability to turn a negative into a positive. Socializing or networking will allow you to show off your skills. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let what others are doing bring you down. Make positive changes at home that will brighten your day or get you involved in a new activity. Try to avoid getting rundown or doing something that can lead to injury. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep things in perspective when dealing with children, friends, and groups looking for handouts. Joint ventures are best avoided. Invest in your talents, skills, knowledge, and personal appearance. Make vacation plans. Love is on the rise. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t pass judgment on others unless you are ready to be criticized yourself. Overreacting will make you look bad. Focus on yourself, your future, and networking with people who may have something to contribute to your plans. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Let the people around you know how you feel, and you will gain the freedom you require to live your life your own way. Be kind and patient with yourself and the people who support you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Emotions will be difficult to control. Prob- lems are best dealt with quickly if you want to come out on top. Some- one from your past will help you put your plans into motion. Strength will come from doing what’s right for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you choose to go into battle with someone, be prepared for your personal information to be revealed as well. Preparation will be necessary to minimize any fallout from dealing with a disgruntled individual. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Offer suggestions instead of trying to control a situation. Your time is better spent working on projects that can increase your profits, simplify your life, and ensure that you are healthy and content. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your perception of a situation will be limited, so don’t try to fix something without the proper information. Try to stay positive. Offering unique and playful suggestions will do wonders for your personal relationships. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will be able to clear up any misunder- standings and revisit old ideas if you reconnect with someone you feel can contribute to your goals. Don’t let your ego get in the way.
