Four Questions

A friend of mine sent me a link in an e-mail. E-mail tests, you know, the kind we all smirk at and hit delete. Even though our wish won't come true because it's now in the recycle bin. The kind you have to pass on to your sister and her neighbor, and his brother's mother-in-law's pastor's housekeeper? Yeah, that kind of test.

I clicked on the link.

Maybe it was the music.

Maybe it was just my late night mood.

Maybe because it was packaged as the Dalai Lama's wisdom.

I answered truthful and with the first thought that came to mind.

I admit, I was amazed at the way my answers played out.

There are only 4 questions but the results are very interesting.
Be honest and honor what pops into your mind when the questions present themselves.

Answer These Four Questions

If you do this, please leave a comment. You don't have to reveal your answers, just how you think it related to you. You'll need a paper and pen. I saved mine to post here later. I'll be saving them anyway.

I Should Go Into Stand-up....

....because my life just keeps getting funnier and funnier!


My refrigerator just died. Bah-waaaaaa!

Better my refrigerator than me?

OK, it was old, but not as old as I am .... it shouldn't get to go first!



BTW, I gave another sample for a "second look" ... results forthcoming.

Quite frankly, I am more worried about my dog's operation tomorrow and getting a new refrigerator than my own test results.

Tested ? Part 2

::: I can only laugh at this point :::

I just listened to my voice mail message from last Friday. It wouldn't matter if I listened to it then because it said:


"Hi Nancy, this is Sue, the nurse for Dr. Va-jay-jay. We are closed now, but please return this call to our office on Monday. It isn't an emergency."


Remember I just went in for my annual and preached to all who read it to get your check-ups?

So I just called, I got the voice mail for the nurses. They return calls after hours. Now, what do you suppose they want? I only had one test done, ONE, you know the one where they are looking for cancer.

To be continued ... after they call me back.


*** Update***

Well crapola. I talked to the nurse.

I know from the past, they usually send an "all clear" letter in the mail. She said not to worry, there was something "just a little bit off" but nothing serious.

??? right ???... I never heard that result before. I get to go back in for another test.

"just a little bit off"

like coloring outside the lines
"a little bit off"
or
walking a tighrope 50 feet in the air "just a little bit off"

big difference, lol

Am I Being Tested?

Since Michigan looks bleak, my goal has been to financially prepare myself for the unexpected. Keeping the ducks in line to make sure I don't go into panic mode if the bottom of my little world drops.

I have put off my annual dentist cleaning and exam.
I don't use a cleaning lady anymore.
I canceled my membership at LifeTime fitness.
I have the lawn guy come every-other week to mow the hay.
I quit getting acrylic nails.
Thank God Caitlin can cut and color my hair or I would have long dingy hair right now.

I have been debt free and want to remain that way.(except a mortgage)

With the expected changes coming at work, (if we even remain open) the loss of health insurance within a month, and the NO SALE of this house (which means a refinance and increase of $300 on a house payment)... I now have had an new dilemma.

Remember a couple months ago when Quinn hurt his leg? He is still a little tripod.
I had him examined again yesterday. If he was going to heal on his own, it would have by now.
Quinn is in pain.

He has a ruptured cruciate ligament in his left rear knee. With surgery, this can be corrected and after healing he'd be pain free and able to walk on all four.

When people talked of "saving" their pets, I used to think, "euthanasia is a lot cheaper than medical procedures."

It isn't from being too old or anything he brought on himself. He's like a third kid.

His surgery is scheduled for this Wednesday, 8AM
If you have a family pet ... you "get it" ... wish him luck =)

P.S. Ed? Ed McMahon???? You are cordially welcomed to come knocking at my front door with balloons and camera crew 'cuz ya know, I may already be a winner!
