  1. D, C, A, C, A, C, B, A... sort of. Where was the option for "playing on the computer" as my favorite way to spend an evening? ;) (I'm trying to remember the last time I went out for an evening, with actual people, not just for groceries, and that's not self-pitying, that's just the plain, unvarnished truth...)

    That quiz made me giggle. giggling's good.

  2. Feral Care Bear is glad to see a sense of humor.

    Feral Care Bear will be at you on Friday about identifying your REAL status symbol from among the large number of choices.

    Feral Care Bear WILL NOT BE DENIED.

  3. Can I blow a raspberry at Feral Care Bear? Or would that be Bad News?

  5. Alana, you've just said essentially "Nyah, nyah, you can't make me like myself! You can't make me admit there's anything good about me!"

    What would you say if your daughter said that?

  6. Ok. Sorry. I was hoping the levity and irreverance of the sabbatical would carry through the computer. It didn't.

    And, no, my daughter is not allowed to blow raspberries, ever.

    Point taken.

  7. And now we've learned that we can't turn Feral Care Bear into a Bad News Bear. ;)

    (When I was your daughter's age I couldn't blow raspberries because I just couldn't seem to get my tongue to do that spbbbt thing. Even into my early teens, when I'd try to imitate Edith Ann on Laugh-In, I'd say "And that's the truth. Pluh." Couldn't do it. I have now perfected the art, however...)

  8. A,A,C,C,A,D,A,C- so what does this mean? I liked the quiz, for once I could actually answer those questions.

  9. I think it means you won't wear apron B (top right). Somehow, in all my education I missed writing quiz analysis 101. Too bad, it would have been quite a marketable skill, I believe.

    (PS. I liked it too, for the same reason.)
