E2: The Everything Test 2

There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.

Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too!
Version 2 is leaner, meaner, and features a more mature and varied set of questions than the previous test. Enjoy!

Character Traits Analytical 20% Artistic 0% Driven 40% Emotional 50% Horny 57% Independent 50% Musical 18% Optimistic 0% Outgoing 0% Political 78% Religious 27% Romantic 50% Social 0%

Life Experience Criminality 14% Intellectual 63% Relationships 53% Sexuality 56% Travel 21%

Politics Your political views would best be described as Libertarian, while philosophically you tend to think like a Conservative.

Socioeconomic Your attitude toward life best associates you with Upper Middle Class. You make more than 85% of those who have taken this test, and 4% more than the U.S. average.

You tend to think more like an artist than an engineer.

Location-wise, you would probably be a good fit for the City.

In the spirt of things....

To share,We had cornish game hens, green bean casserole, stove top, homemade mashed taters wi/cheese and sour cream, punkin pie and cranberry jelly. Went off pretty well. We had someone over, Aki. For those that know...yes, some of us are more generous and understanding than others. Anyway...of course we sat around watched TV, How its Made and Ratatoulie (whatever) and I crocheted. Then we all kinda went our way after the sleet and SNOW...yes...snow in dallas, Irving to be exact. Then I went on to look at the ads in the two local papers. took about 1.5 hours. only found a couple of things I would really like, the rest is just fluff. I guess it is all fluff, isnt it.
Good health, decent health. job, food, car, home. Those are the importants. then friends and family. those are importants too.
some of our friends and family's are not in such good health. one has cancer in her lung, one had her hand busted up in an accident. one is having exploratory to check for cancer, another has a good case of alzheimers. one has high blood pressure.then there are the younger ones with kids. passionate boisterous kids. happy healthy kids.there are acquaintences that are nice to have on your side and are out there for you.there are the friendly 4 footed emo's with fur---cats and dogs. (personally I am a dog person, but hey.)
So in the spirit of things, joy is being able to eat a dinner in a warm place without being in the sleet and snow.having enough to pay your bills and maybe a skein of yarn.
Happiness, Health and Warmth to you all.C

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS. For 232 years we have protected and defended this country from all enemies both foreign and domestic. Here are a few thoughts as I look back over the years.
While most people sat at home in their easy chair, we lived in dirty holes and behind sandbags. Our transportation wasn't a BMW or VW. It was tanks, planes and helicopters. Our work wasn't in an office that had a cleaning crew, air conditioning and worrying whether making a decision would cost us our jobs. Our work was closing with the enemy and destroying his effectiveness, often at the expense of our own lives.
While many people were home demonstrating against this country and its commitment, we were demonstrating to the world that this greatest nation on Earth was willing to fight for the freedoms that most of its citizens took for granted and most of the rest of the world didn't have. While most Americans watched TV, we watched tracers criss-crossing.
There's no such thing as an ex-Marine. As the years go by we may be older and less slim but we are still Marines. There is not a one of us that, if our country called once more, would not go. Remember - In the Marine Corps, we run toward the sound of shooting - not away from it.
The next time you see a Marine, thank him for his willingness to place himself or herself in harm's way so that you can be safe.
SEMPER FI and GOD BLESS THE MARINES!!
Rob (Master Sergeant, USMC)

Thanksgiving...or Thanks Giving or Thankful or Thank Full?

Hello folks, it is that time again...no not the female time thing. The Thanksgiving time. Early?? No. Everyday is thanksgiving day. You woke up didnt you? You have a roof over your head? food in your belly? Most of us have a car.
There are other things too. Like small goals for your day. I had 2 today. one was getting my insurance/cafeteria plan. done. the other to get my lists out to my vendors. done.
I had a bigger one that I was stuck on. Maddie. What to do. Irving passed a law that would essentially mean we had a couple of options. A-Move. B-ask the landlord(we rent) if we can make changes to the existing fence, (most would really freak out at that idea.) or c-quit my job to stay home with the dog. (is she really a dog or an emo with fur??) or d-euthanize her. You see Maddie was the next door neighbors dog. They had gotten stuck in New Mexico and Maddie was out of food, so she jumped the fence. (AKA--JUMPER). The pound eventually picked her up. We got her from the pound for our neighbors one hour before her euthanization time. We brought her home, told the neighbors...we got maddie for you. We were told by the lady that it was his dog and they had broken up. I asked her for his or if would call and she flat out refused. So now we have had Maddie, our person with fur since the first Friday in January.
We tend to treat our dogs as our friends and family. They are spoiled. Scamp sleeps with us or my daughter. Maddie comes in everynight, gets fresh food and water twice a day. she did have a 30 foot cable until the Irving City Council decided that any dog tied up with out it's owner staring at it in front of the dog, was an irresponsible dog owner. You will be fined 2000.00/day if you are not in front of your dog.
So...we hemmed and hawed. (Yes...like in who moved the cheese book.) We kept to ourselves pretty much, almost afraid to discuss it and come to a conclusion. I cried at work Friday after the vote. I did not want to give up Maddie. I felt that the city I had lived in for 10 years had really let me down.
After my husband told our landlord that we had been on TV (irving cable) and also the Dallas Morning News (2nd page November 2nd), he explained he had two choices now due to the city...move and keep Cass and I, or stay, put maddie down and really pisse off Cass and I. We had been renting from her for about 10 years. I think I was late one time. Anyway we are in a nice little rental home. Been here about 1.5 years. It was built in 1955.
I get this call this week from Rob. The owner is coming by with his helper and they are going to look at the back yard. The wonderful soul built up the fence about 3 feet all around the back yard...THE WHOLE YARD. It is about 7 feet tall now. I do not think she can get out. So..there I am most Thankful this week. I see it as an HP thing. (not hewlett packard folks!)
So there are many things to be thankful for, small and large. Maddie is safe now, but is our back yard safe from Maddie? We shall see.
Thanks for reading this far.
