  1. If you've been tested, list your results. If you don't know what the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is, click here. If you go to that link, there are links to the 16 types. Maybe it will help some of us understand our fellow posters a little better I'm ESTP My husband (Jay) is INTJ. I guess opposites do attract...
  2. The people that I know personally that make 6 figures have in no way, shape, or form been pampered. I know a lady who from the age of 8 was a latch key kid who had to prepare dinner for her whole family at that age. She went to college and then into the army. She is now very successful and although she has a "desk job" she's in charge of some pretty important areas of her workplace. Not anyone could do the job she does. She works hard. Oh, I just thought of another person...He was just a normal guy in high school who just happened to be really smart. Some would say brilliant. He went
  3. So some kid in a poor neighborhood busts their ass all through school and gets grants and scholarships to go to a pretty good college. He graduates with an engineering degree and goes on to develop some system that increases productivity. He's good at what he does, starts his own business, and little by little through hard work, investments, and ingenuity, he becomes a millionaire. He's not entitled to take an extra vacation if he earned his money? We should take some of that away so he lives like the middle class? Why would anyone want to work hard and make something of themselves?
  4. According to that one website, my taxes would be about $400 lower per year with McCain than with Obama. But taxes aren't as big of an issue for me as some of the other issues. I'm definitely middle class.
  5. But what about the people who don't have ID or cant find it the day of the election?
  6. My dad ate squirrel all the time. Just because. No way I'd eat that though. Ick.
  7. Not in Michigan either. You just have to sign something that says you didn't bring it.
  8. That's such a beautiful picture. I can't believe there's even controversy about something like that.
  9. Dude, in all honestly, it's not as much fun when it's skewed toward the guy you're rooting for.
  10. My oldest son and I did that this morning. Even he realizes how skewed Fox News is and he's only 10. It really is funny to watch sometimes and sometimes it's just down right frightening.
  11. Ok, I listened to the movie again today and caught when Darth Vader said this.
  12. Bennie and the Jets holds a special place in my heart.
  13. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/10/pal...tion/index.html
  14. It was from the Wilco/Atheism thread. But maybe it was directed at you also. Wanna fight over it?
  15. I think that was directed at me. He just doesn't realize that 9 out of 10 times I'm not serious. I could care less what he does or does not believe in and no matter what he says, he's never going to change my mind. He's the one that put the words in my mouth...
  16. How so what? How so do I listen to that stupid movie so many times? My 2 year old is obsessed with it and he has to watch it every time we're in the car. I'd let him use the headphones so I could listen to music, but he keeps the volume up too loud and I'm afraid he'll damage his ears. So I just put up with it to keep him quiet. How so did it remind me of this thread? Substitute God for "mystical energy field"
  17. While listening to a Star Wars movie for the 34293472934th time today, this quote from Han Solo made me think of this thread. Boy, was he wrong about the force...
  18. They don't have one yet of my hometown, but they do have one for a town that's about 5 miles away. I love looking through them and seeing pictures of houses and buildings that are still standing. Jason and I love to go for walks through historic neighborhoods and speculate on what life was like in certain houses and in certain neighborhoods back in the day. It's neat to be given the opportunity to actually see that. I love to look at the books about Detroit too and see what a great and vibrant city it used to be. Although it makes me a little sad at the same time. Oh, and Cryptique, if
  19. I can vouch for that. When a mortgage broker tries to get someone with a super high FICO score and a 20% down payment to go with an interest only loan with nothing down, there is a problem. It's called greed.
