Oh this is pretty much me :) Now Juliana…I know you don’t like these but be a love just pick one!!!!



You Are Alert




You are an extremely perceptive person. You area always paying attention to those little details. You like to sit back and watch. It’s amazing to watch other people in action. You can be a bit sneaky and sly at times. You like to eavesdrop and spy. You know a lot about everyone, and as a result, you always have some thought provoking observations to make!

FACEBOOK

Harriet at Harriet and Friends did a great post about the privacy issues on Facebook. Yesterday morning I was listening to one of my favorite Podcasts Buzz Out Loud and came upon some more information about this privacy issue. I think the privacy issues SUCK big time on Facebook and I have taken mine and really limited it to what can and cannot be shared. It’s only me and friends basically. And that’s the way it’s going to stay.

You think you have your settings set correctly? Guess again. Go to YOUROPENBOOK.ORG. You can type in anything and you will see what others can see about you. It’s scary. One way to easily check your settings is to go to RECLAIMPRIVACY.ORG. You can drag a button into your bookmarks bar and then log into your Facebook account. It will scan your privacy settings and make suggestions.

i just wanted to share this little bit of information. I hope it helps.

WHY YOU NEVER QUESTION A DRUNK…

I was shopping at the local supermarket where I selected:

A half-gallon of 2% milk
A carton of eggs
A quart of orange juice
A head of lettuce
A 2 lb. can of coffee
A 1 lb. package of bacon

As I was unloading my items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind me watched as I placed the items in front of the cashier.

While the cashier was ringing up the purchases, the drunk calmly stated, ‘You must be single.’

I was a bit startled by this proclamation, but I was intrigued by the derelict’s intuition, since I indeed had never found Mr. Right. I looked at the six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about my selections that could have tipped off the drunk to my marital status..

Curiosity getting the better of me, I said, ‘Yes you are correct. But how on earth did you know that?’

The drunk replied, ‘Cause you’re ugly.

Hey, it’s only my opinion.

A Hui Hou

  1. I’m on Facebook, but I don’t use it other than to send a note now and then to one of my kids and occasionally a friend that I know well. I don’t like the changes they made recently so I try to avoid it almost completely.

    Love the ‘never question a drunk’! What a hoot! Hope you have a great day, Thom!

  2. These tests are sometimes scary !
    You are Quirky
    You are a very imaginative and creative person. You see life as how it could be.
    You tend to be larger than life in your decisions and actions. You embrace every opportunity.

    You are quite worldly and wise. You’ve taken in a lot in your life, and you’ve learned from it.
    While you are quite experienced, you are also still very youthful. You have an unmatched energy.
    That’s all quiet true !

    I am also on Facebook (thanks to my son) but I don’t like it. I never go there unless I have to look at pictures !

    BTW I didn’t know that only handsome men are married ! The once I know are not especially beauties !

  3. Oh my “cause you’re ugly” Oye!
    And yes I did laugh…out loud!

  4. I couldn’t find an image that I liked. I added the Facebook Privacy Bookmark Things, and when I did the scan I had mostly everything secure, but one, It couldn’t fix it until I went in and fixed it myself. Thank God it provided a Link where I could go. I heard the Drunk Joke before.

    You have a great day and thanks for sharing the Facebook mark thingy.

  5. Ha. That’s a great story.

  6. but… but… there are no patterns that would really appeal to me!
    and then i choose something and it comes out completely broken! pffft

    You Are Charming
    You are a very glamorous person. You are naturally stylish and chic.
    You have an elegance to you, even when you are keeping things totally casual.

    You are enchanting. There’s something about you that makes you stand out in a room.
    People may be surprised to learn that you’re very down to earth – and even a bit of a romantic.

  7. Well ya picked the wrong damn one ROFLMAO!!! But at least you did it :) MWAH!!!

  8. I’m Quirky. No surprise there huh?

    I don’t do facebook, people keep trying to get me on but so far i have resisted. Curt has an account which he only uses tokeep tabs on my daughter’s account. ( seriously – you can;t survive high school here with out one – coaches even post changes in practice schedules on facebook. grrrrr.)

    I did recently start tweeting.

    • Well I have both your Quirkiness LOL I don’t use either one very much but oh well. it’s the way of the future for coaches etc to put things on there I think. :)

  9. We just got home from a day’s outing and I wanted to visit some of my favorite bloggers before I get busy catching up on housework….

    Oh Sh!t Thom this was so something I wasn’t expecting….it got me. And I loved it. What a riot. Too funny.

  10. Gattina & I are quirky together! :)

    I hate Facebook. I only use mine with FAMILY and I still haven’t opened it in well over a month. I would close it – but soon as I do, one of the kids will sqwauk! We just use it to share pictures.

    LOL! on the drunk…

  11. Now the drunk is covered in eggs and orange juice.


    You Are Wise


    You are nobody’s fool, and you often figure out a person’s game right away. You’re very discerning.
    You’re an oasis of sanity in this insane world. At times it seems like you’re the only person with your head screwed on right.

    You are very logical and impartial. You don’t let anything cloud your judgment.
    You stand you’re ground when you know you are right. You are very uncompromising.

  12. Oh, the joke is really funny. I did not see that coming.

  13. So you, “You like to eavesdrop and spy”? Interesting … very interesting. Or is that the part that wasn’t quite right? :P :D

    I’ve got no arguments with mine for today.

    You Are Unique
    You are original and a total nonconformist. You take a lot of pride in doing your own thing. In fact, you can be downright defiant at times. You don’t like anyone telling you what to do.

    While you are a rebel, you are also extremely tolerant and accepting. You think people should be themselves. You are laid back and easy going. You refuse to participate in the rat race, and you’re better off for it.

    Have a wonderful Thursday! Mwah! xxoo

  14. ROFL.

    Re Facebook, I can’t control others’ privacy settings (often set to “friends of friends”) but I don’t put anything on there that I’m not comfortable sharing with anyone who happens by. Works for me :) .

    My photography is now available for purchase – visit Around the Island Photography and bring home something beautiful today!

    • Glad you enjoyed. Yes but you certainly can control your information. It’s your email address and stuff like that that I limit to friends. I don’t want every tom, dick and harry having my information that I don’t want. :)

  15. Yay I love the drunk joke…it’s always fun to be shocked! Off to take the quiz now…I might post my results if I like them lol

  16. I’m ‘Charming’ like Juliana… but there wasn’t a button to click if you didn’t like ANY of them!

    ROFLMAO at the supermarket drunk!! Funny the assumptions we make.

    • Well the choices aren’t very good in a lot of these quizzes. So ya just gotta pick the one that is sort well close LOL Indeed on Assumptions…and we all know what assume does to one LOL :)
