Participant[quote=desmond][quote=briansd1]
I’ve learned to eat very plain, bland food. But I find it delicious because I can taste and appreciate the natural unadulterated ingredients.[/quote]Sounds like my sex life.[/quote]
desmond, that has to be the Piggs “Response of the Week”. Priceless! However, I have to ask: Is it the statement above in its entirety? Or just the first sentence?
Participant[quote=flu]If the economy is bad, then start a war as a distraction…It worked before :)[/quote]
Gee, flu, it’d work again if people like you wouldn’t ruin it for the rest of us. I, myself, was looking forward to a new crop of bumper stickers and tailgate magnets so that I can prove I’m a patriot.
C’mon, an invasion into an unpopular country on July 4th weekend?! I can hear the inspirational music on the movie trailers now. Besides, desperate times call for desperate measures, and I saw CONCHO mention that season 6 of “The Bachelorette” is quickly coming to an end…
Wait…..could that mean that the White House is behind the Jake Pavelka-Vienna Girardi split??!!

Actually, I don’t think the view you cite is all that uncommon in the United States.

I don’t remember at all what my letters were, but I somehow kept it and I have the results in a binder in the garage which I’ve never reopened…
I wonder if I’d get the same letters now…[/quote]
I wonder that, too, if in different periods in one’s life the score changes.[/quote]
I’ve taken the Myers-Briggs test a few times (maybe 3) over the last 20 years and always come up with the same type (INTJ). While people clearly change over time, I don’t think their basic personality type changes much. There must be reams of studies on this type of thing.[/quote]
There are, and you’re right.
