Dr. Phil’s Test

Dr. PhilI received this in my email this morning. Normally I don’t read a lot of the crap some friends send me but I did read this one. I’m a 41.

Below is Dr. Phil’s test. Dr. Phil said he scored 55 and then he gave the test to Oprah and she got a 38.

This is a real test given by man human relations departments at many major corporations. It helps them get better insight concerning their prospective employees Some people pay a lot of money to find this stuff out.

I have no idea why the answers are scored the way they are. Someone with a wackier brain than I have sorted it out. I would like to read the rationale behind why one answer is a 6 and another is a 1.

Answers are for who you are now — not who you were in the past. As you answer the questions, jot the question number and the letter answer on a piece of paper. Saves scrolling.

Now add up your 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, but sufficiently well balanced not to let it go to 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, ext remely 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.

Sometimes..

Ever notice that

Sometimes…

when you cry…

no one sees your tears.


Sometimes…

when you are in pain…

no one sees your hurt.

Sometimes…

when you are worried..

no one sees your stress.

stop farting

Sometimes…

when you are happy..

no one sees your smile.

But…

Let just ONE tiny little fart in the grocery store and EVERYone notices!


Life’s funny that way.

Eff’n hackers

hackerIf there’s anything that gets this granny’s goat more than someone hacking into her server, I don’t know what it could be. Normally I’m mild mannered, kind and helpful but today, if I could get my hands on the f’n nuisance who decided to use my server as his own I’d throttle him or her.

Thankfully, my servers are not attached to or part of the servers at SexyAds.com in any way. When I decided to blog, my dear husband said, “not on my servers, get your own.” At the time I thought he was being hard headed but today I think he was a genius. Early on I made a site using Mambo for the local hockey team in our town and that’s how the hacker got in. I hadn’t updated it with whatever fix was necessary it seems.

Anyhoo, why do people think that things that don’t belong to them are fair game? I suppose it’s the anonymity of the net but it still drives me batty. My webhost noticed the hackers and shut down my server and it was down for nearly a day until the people at The Planet finally restarted it after threatening to move to a new webhost.

Just so you don’t think I wasted a day waiting for the server to come back online. I got all the vacuuming done. I made 5 loaves of bread. I walked the dogs. I moved some furniture around. I did some oohing and aahing over some new code that hubby wrote. (it’s way over my head but I oohed anyway.) I did some gardening. Finally I answered all my email and bathed the dogs.

I’m too beat to blog now. Maybe I’ll have a nana nap and try again later.

What weekends are for

having coffeeOk, so you’ve been in a relationship for more years than you thought you’d live and one day you notice that weekends just happen. You decide on Saturday morning what you’re going to do. Maybe you’ll do laundry. Maybe you’ll mow the grass. Maybe you’ll run errands.

Remember the time in your life that you planned the weekend so you’d get all those chores done but you’d still have some time for fun? It seems that quite a few of our friends are in this boat too. By the time the chores are done, they’re just too tired to go out and have fun. We’ve packed so much into our lives that there’s little time for pure relaxation. What I like to call “think time.”

Starting early in the week, plan out your weekend so that you can spend some time to show the person you love above all others how special they are to you. Perhaps you could run the errands together and stop for a coffee at their favorite shop. After you mow the grass, maybe plant a shrub together. (For those of you with ass deep snow and couldn’t find grass to save your lives.. it’s summer where I am, gimme a break.)

What’s important is to include each other in your plans, whatever they are. Sure, we can’t spend every weekend out doing some exciting thing together, but we can make the time we do spend together memorable.

I’ve got a big heart

Or so my friend Tey at “My Daily Thoughts in Search of Self-Fullfilment” said when she gave me the “Biggest Heart Award” for helping people to find love. I’ll pass it on soon and thanks very much.
