Now add up the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should
"handle with care." You're seen as vain,
self-centered, and who is extremely dominant... Others
may admire you, wishing they could be more like you,
but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too
deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly
volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not
always the right ones. They see you as bold and
adventuresome, someone who will try anything once;
someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure.
They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate..

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively,
charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting;
someone who's constantly in the center of attention,

their head. They also see you as kind, considerate,
and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up
and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious,
careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted,
or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes
friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's
extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect
the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to
know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust In
your friends, but equally that it takes you a long
time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking
and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely
careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really
surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or
on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine
everything carefully from every angle and then,
usually decide against it They think this reaction is
caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous,
and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who
always wants someone else to make the decisions & who
doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything!
They see you as a worrier who always sees problems
that don't exist. Some people think you're boring.
Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

Caramel Apple Cider is still offered at Starbucks

I forgot to mention that last week, Manda & I went to a stand alone Starbucks. It still serves Caramel Apple Cider. Thank goodness. Whew.

Dog and Cat Diary

I am fond of pets, although I've only had cats in my life. When Isabella's older, perhaps we'll get another cat and get a dog. For the time being, a friend sent this to me.

Excerpts from a Dog's Daily Diary:

8:00 am - Dog food! My favorite thing!
9:30 am - A car ride! My favorite thing!
9:40 am - A walk in the park! My favorite thing!
10:30 am - Got rubbed and petted! My favorite thing
12:00 pm - Lunch! My favorite thing!
1:00 pm - Placed in the yard! My favorite thing!
3:00 pm - Wagged my tail! My favorite thing!
5:00 pm - Milk bones! My favorite thing!
7:00 pm - Got to play ball! My favorite thing!
8:00 pm - Wow! Watched TV with the people! My favorite thing!
11:00 pm - Sleeping on the bed!My favorite thing!



Excerpts from a Cat's Daily Diary:

Day 683 of my captivity:
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They
dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates
and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the floor. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. The audacity!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the someone's "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage. Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs. I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously a loser. The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe ...for now...

    subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.


    The 2006 winners are:

    your
    bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.


    18. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in
