Feelin' Groovy

So this post goes back to a couple months ago.. I just didn't get around to writing it up!

Anyway, I'm watching Canada AM one morning, as I do most mornings while getting ready for work, and I hear them talking to a woman about some space exploration and research project... I forget now what the subject was, and I could only hear it, not see it, since I was in the kitchen making coffee. In any event, the discussion goes along and the host asks the guest what she sees as the future of this project and whether manned versus unmanned spacecraft would be the way to go. The woman replies with "Well, I think you mean humaned versus unhumaned spacecraft, and for that I think....." AAAAAGGGHHH !! I don't even remember what she said after that! I mean OMG!! Humaned versus Unhumaned! Is she kidding? Are those even words??!! Geez, somebody hand her a dictionary or better yet give her a grammar lesson. There's this pronoun in the English language that's used when one does not wish to be gender specific or offend one's sensibilities. And the word "manned" is an actual adjective that means "Transporting, operated by, or performed by a human".

Please spare us all  from women like this who think every word with the letters M-A-N in it must be neutered in some way!

 

So, my sister called today and directed me to a web site where all the various graduating classes from our high school can post class directories, photos, new items, anything to keep in touch and stay current with those old school friends!

Since my 3 siblings and I attended the same high school and were only one year apart, it was great fun to read through some of the bios from a year or two after my graduating year. This was for both entertainment and curiosity and because there's only a couple listings in my year. Seems a volunteer administrator is needed to get things organized. Not that I don't have enough to keep me busy, but I'm considering stepping up and making a contribution.

Anyway, I just thought it was a really well designed web site and very creative. If you're looking to set up something for your high school (or university) graduating class, you should go check it out.... Have some fun with it!  www.classreport.com

 

 

 

So I was looking at someone's signature the other day and thought "I wonder what having a signature like THAT says about their personality?". And, lo and behold, I found a web site that will tell you exactly that!

Try it out for yourself, and allow a good half hour of your time to prepare a sample of your handwriting and then use the online multiple choice guide to do your own analysis. They will provide a FREE personality profile based on your answers. Click here to access the site.

Here are a couple of excerpts from MY personality profile... and of couse I'm only sharing the ones I really agree with!! LOL

The subject has a signature that is larger than 77% of the population and as a result sees herself in a relative position of power and responsibility.
She is more confident than the average signer.
The subject has a strong need to succeed in all things she does. She hates to loose and will appear to be quite a strong competitor.

The signature is written quite illegibly indicating some sense of superiority. Writers who scrawl their signature are saying that the reader of the document should know who they are, without having to actually be able to read the words. She is also conveying the impression that she is working at high speed under pressure, and this is all of her valuable time that she can spend on the issue.

~ I thought this one was pretty perceptive! Ha ha ha ~

There are a few signs of aggression throughout the handwriting, which indicate a mildly aggressive personality.
As the writer has a high IQ, the chances are that aggression, when shown, will normally be expressed verbally, with sarcasm, caustic remarks and mockery.
When aggression is expressed indirectly, the subject will feel a need for revenge if slighted. She may harbour a grudge, while waiting for the appropriate moment to get her own back.

~ And THIS one, well, enough said.... ~

So go check it out... you might just be surprised at what little quirks of yours show up in your handwriting!

Well, it's true what they say... vacations are never long enough! *sigh* My recent sojourn to Providenciales Island (Turks and Caicos) in the Caribbean proved to be an enjoyable little getaway with my sister and one of her friends. It being the start of the "rainy season" the weather was not the perfect-clear-blue-skies-and-flat-crystal-waters of the postcards! Of course it was a heck of a lot warmer than the Tdot, so we certainly got some sun! We also made some new friends, which is always good, and gives us more of a reason to go back.

The resident ex-pat who showed us around was quick to point out, as we three women clambered into his Jeep, that the island's police are very strict about wearing your seatbelt. Turns out, however, that these same police don't care much whether you drink and drive. Further, there are NO vision test requirements to get a license and while traffic is set up to drive on the left hand side of the road (in the British style) it is really irrelevant whether your car is right or left-hand drive... or whether it is truly roadworthy; if it's got 4 wheels and can move, you can drive it!!

Needless to say, putting a seatbelt on seemed like the best idea all around!

What is it, you ask? Well, this is what the New York Times calls it when two straight men have dinner face-to-face without the aid of a televeision or the crutch of sports!! Check out The Man Date .. and it's good to know that a Romantic Date always trumps a Man Date! That's true for us women as well... we're always up for dinner with girlfriends, unless there's a man calling...
