Saturday Six #73

Make sure you paste links to your answers at Patrick's Place!

1. What is the price of gas at your regular station?  Have you made any changes to holiday plans because of gas prices?  Well....it seems to change depending on the time of day you drive by.  I was guilty of "topping off" my tank on Wednesday and it was $2.89.  I haven't looked since then.  My plans remain the same for this weekend...work, work, work!

2. Some people feel that the song that was #1 when they were born somehow helps shape their life.  Which song was #1 when you were born, according to this site.  Do you think it relates to your life at all?  I’m Leaving It Up To You - Dale & Grace.  Hmmm...never heard of it so I will have to get back to you on that answer.  But I will comment on the fact that I feel very uncomfortable leaving important decisions or tasks to other people because I have a fear of "lose of control"...so this song may not be me...but it probably should be! LOL!

3. Take this quiz:  Which child does it say you are?  Is it correct about your birth order?

You Are Likely a Second Born
At your darkest moments, you feel inadequate.  At work and school. you do best when you're evaluating.
When you love someone, you offer them constructive criticism.  In friendship, you tend to give a lot of feedback - positive and negative.  Your ideal careers are: accounting, banking, art, carpentry, decorating, teaching, and writing novels.  You will leave your mark on the world with art and creative projects. Ha!  Right about the birth order and everything up until the career...I'm an ER nurse!  And anyone who knows me would laugh at the art and creative part! LOL!

4. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #61 from De:  What animal do you equate your spirit with and why?  (This site may be helpful.)  Well...my original answer when discussing this with my Navajo nursing friend was "Cheetah or Jaguar", so I guess from this site I would pick "Cougar".  According to this site, this cat goes by several names including Mountain Lion, Panther, and Puma.  They are solitary cats who, unlike other cat species, are active during the day.  They are also the most widely distributed cats in the Americas.  These elusive hunters will pounce on their prey with a strong short burst of energy after studying its movements, never hesitating, showing none of its movement is wasted.  Cougar spirit will teach us to assert ourselves, and take control of our life so we can become leaders.  Cougar's graceful swiftness shows us how to understand the natural flow of our environment and move into a position of leadership. Sounds enough like me to be true...I am very assertive and take charge when I need to in any given situation.

5. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #62 from Psychfun:  If you had to describe your personality as a nut (as in the eatable kind) what nut would you be and why?  A cashew nut...just exactly what I would have picked.  Go to this quiz and see what kind of nut you are.

a cRashew... NUT

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #63 from Chris:   Who knows the "real"you better - - your real world friends or your Jland readers?  I feel I have struck up a very nice friendship with Lily (despite our huuuuuuuge age difference), can equate myself alot with Jen, and I always love to see what Patrick has to say.   But I would have to say my real friends know me best!

What Color Are You?

Okay....I was going for my power color which is Purple.  But I'll settle for Pink...it does describe me pretty accurately.

Hey...just thought I would share these with the rest of my followers in Jland.  Maybe RepublicanJen would like or already reads some of these.

My fav Uncle Fred and I are pretty like minded, must have something to do with having the same birthday.  November 24th....great day!  So great Hannah decided to make an appearance, too.

At any rate, he sent me a list of his favorite blog sites and I thought I would share them with you.  Take a peek at them, browse through, enjoy...

"I am sure you have your own favorites, but here are some of my favorite blogs and news sites, in no particular order .... some of the news sites require (free) registration.   PowerLine  - These guys are lawyers, and are generally given credit for taking out Dan Rather! Right Wing News - Really OpEd, not news.  Sometimes good, always ok. Opinion Journal - OpEd from the WSJ.  They have a M-F column called Best of the Web which is sometimes hilarious! The American Spectator - political op-ed Little Green Footballs - very right wing Michelle Malkin - syndicated columnist - good source of links to other OpEd and news sites. The New York Times - know your enemy The Washington Post - know your enemy The Washington Times - the paper I would subscribe to if I lived in Washington The New York Post - Looks like a tabloid, but the paper I would subscribe to if I lived in New York"

Silly Quizzes #2

What Organ Are You?

The Heart
You scored 59% sanguine, 60% phlegmatic, 36% melancholy, and 47% choleric! You are the Heart. As you probably know, the Heart is a muscular organ responsible for mantaining blood circulation.

You've been matched to this organ because you scored high on three axes: sanguine, phlegmatic, and choleric. Traditionally, the sanguine humor was associated with the Liver, the phlegmatic humor was associated with the Lung, and the choleric humor was associated with the Spleen. Personality characteristics include a tendency towards extroversion, and while you can be impulsive, you're mostly easy-going and thoughtful.

My thoughts? The Heart is certainly the most romantic organ in the body, but it's also one you can rely on. It has a steady beat that will increase when you need it, decrease when that's appropriate, and can keep beating on without input from the brain. Congrats! You're one of the most important organs in the body!


My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 44% on sanguine You scored higher than 44% on phlegmatic You scored higher than 66% on melancholy You scored higher than 55% on choleric

Silly Quizzes #1

Which Element Are You?

Water
You are 49% Extroverted and 48% Chaotic

Virtue - Water people exhibit benevolence. These type people are charitable, have a kindly disposition and promote goodwill. They are concerned with the welfare of others. Where other people are concerned they are kind, generous and philanthropic. They seldom harbor hostility. They derive pleasure from doing good deeds.

Core - They are cooperative, companionable, hospitable and socialable. They are true humanitarians and are concerned with the welfare of other people. They are called servants or servers because of their unselfishness and sincere devotion to the welfare of humanity. They unconditionally come to the aid of the sick and the unfortunate just as they would for one of their own family, and most often ask nothing in return.

Nature - They have strong feelings and sensibilities. They tend to make decisions based on their emotions rather than by reason. Although they are emotional in nature, they do not outwardly express it. Their feelings are hurt easily but they tend to not let it show.

Drives - They are deeply concerned about the welfare of their friends and family. They also care about what other people think and say about them. An insensitive remark from someone can hurt their feelings deeply, although they may not show it. They give of themselves and their material possessions freely to help a less-advantaged person gain confidence and stature. They will go all out where close friends or family is concerned. It is not easy to make friends with a them because they are skeptical and naturally shy. They will be generous and kind to a certain point, but when you gain their confidence you will have an all-weather friend who will stand by you through your struggles.

Vice - They will suppress the truth by words, writing and conduct to do damage to another. This is not spite. This is their non-violent way of getting their revenge. Milder cases include stretching the truth a little, not exactly untrue but not the real truth. They are emotional people and tend to get carried away in the heat of a situation. These people are not prone to physical violence normally, but being of an emotional nature and having the tendency to let things build up inside them, they can become extremely abusive.
