Answer this Question at your own Risk!

Someone forwarded this question to me today. I thought I would ask it of you and see what you come up with for an answer. Think about it before you peek at the answer. Then write in the comment section and tell me what you think is the reason. I’ll tell you what I thought. The answer is below the picture.

Read this question, come up with an answer and then scroll down to
the bottom for the result. This is not a trick question. It is as it reads.

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a guy whom
she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing. She believed him to be
her dream guy so much, that she fell in love with him right there, but
never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later she
killed her sister.

Question: What is her motive for killing her sister?(this is a picture of me the day Traci Harris and I went to California to drive convertibles through the Hollywood Hills. Well, of course we were there for other reasons, but that's another story for another time)

Answer:


She was hoping the guy would appear at the funeral again. If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath.
This was a test by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered the question correctly. If you didn't answer the question correctly, good for you.
If you did answer correctly, please let me know so I can take you off my email list...

Definitions... they DO matter!

Don’t you hate it when people use words or phrases incorrectly? Not people who are just trying out a phrase for the first time….no… I’m talking about the people who use these phrases with such confidence in the belief that THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT in their usage, that you can’t tell them any differently?

You could show them the dictionary, and they won’t believe you. You could try to gently change the direction of the conversation, and they’re not budging from their ill-conceived theories. No… these are people who think that if they just use their words LOUD enough and with enough bluster, that everyone will believe them. And they’re too ignorant to check their facts or look up the words, or consider… for even a moment… that they might be incorrect.

I had it happen to me twice last week. You just want to shake these people and say LOOK THIS STUFF UP BEFORE YOU TALK!

So in honor of those people, (and some may call them assholes), I am presenting two definitions today. One from the world of technology... and one from the world of psychology.

What is a Unique Visitor?
(this is in reference to people who visit websites)

A unique visitor is someone with a unique address who is entering a Web site for the first time that day (or some other specified period). Thus, a visitor that returns within the same day is not counted twice. A unique visitors count tells you how many different people there are in your audience during the time period, but not how much they used the site during the period.

Usually datametric companies use a COOKIE dropped into your browser to indicate that you have been counted. If the user closes the browser or is inactive for a period of time (many webcounters use 30 minutes), the session cookie will expire, and a revisit will cause a new unique visit to occur.

MOST DATAMETRIC COMPANIES USE A 24 HOUR PERIOD OF TIME AS THEIR SPECIFIED PERIOD.

Now, on two definition two:
What is Passive-Aggression and what is the behaviour generally associated with it?

The term "passive-aggressive" was introduced in a 1945 U.S. War Department technical bulletin, describing soldiers who weren't openly insubordinate but shirked duty through procrastination, willful incompetence, and so on.

People with this disorder resent responsibility and show it through their behaviors rather than by open expression of their feelings. Procrastination, inefficiency, and forgetfulness are behaviors commonly used to avoid doing what they need to do or have been told by others must be done.

A person with this disorder may appear to comply with another's wishes -- may even demonstrate enthusiasm for them -- but the requested action is either performed too late to be helpful, performed in a way that is useless, or otherwise sabotaged to express anger the person cannot relate verbally.

For example, if you are angry at your spouse who asked you to pick up several ingredients for dinner that night, and you somehow forget a couple of the items which make preparing the meal impossible, this might be considered a passive aggressive act.

Passive Aggression IS NOT when you are discussing a problem openly. (OPENLY being the operative term.) Passive aggression is typically sabotaging behaviour that is expressed separately from the anger one feels for someone else.

GET IT RIGHT… or shut the hell up.

Have a nice day!

What a wonderful way to ring in the New Year! Gourmet cheese and crackers straight from the Minnesota branch of the Girlfriends…yummy frozen margaritas, courtesy of Jose Cuervo and the Magic Bullet… and a double-decker of See’s candies that you had to play Peek-a-Boo Guess-Who with, since there was no blueprint of the ingredients.

It was Twila’s birthday on the 31^st and November heralded a new jump-off point for me, so the Girlfriends decided to go on retreat to a mineral spa just north of Santa Fe. The mineral pools at Ojo Caliente are world-famous. In fact, Ojo Caliente is the only place in the world where 4 different geo-thermal pools can be found in the same place. They include Iron, Soda, Arsenic and mud.

After a little brouhaha about our rooms, we finally retired to the Hill House (they called it a “modular house” … we called it a double-wide. You say tomato.. I say tomatoe). I had the first massage of the group and it was with a delightful woman named Storm. She elbowed and fore-armed my erector muscles until they finally released. From there I had Alex for a deluxe facial. It was heaven! I fell asleep every time she laid the herb-soaked hot towels on my face. I WILL be trying that at home!

From there I soaked in the iron pool, on to the soda pool and finally to arsenic at a comfy 98 degrees. What a way to relax!

We opened presents and ate snacks and drank margaritas. And we were all ready to go to bed before midnight. But we had to see Dick Clark! So we talked to keep ourselves awake. Was it heart-wrenching to see Dick Clark, still dealing with the affects of the stroke? Yes. But then, it really became uplifting. Because it was courageous. Here was a man who certainly didn’t need the money or the exposure, but Rockin’ New Year’s Eve was his baby. And I do believe he was proud of the progress he had made since the stroke. And BRAVO for him for being such a wonderful role model to imply by his appearance… no matter what your disability (for indeed, a stroke is a disability).. don’t let it stop you from doing what you love! And isn’t that what we should be portraying on TV, in the movies, in magazines… instead of too-skinny women, outrageously expensive clothes and pop figures who have no reason to be a part of our culture except they have good PR people? (yes, I’m talking about you, Paris).

So BRAVO Dick Clark!!

And as for those who think Mariah Carey looked a little “chunky” on the show…. let me cash your reality check. You’re part of the reason that people have problems with their self-images. You’re the reason Hollywood is portraying skeletal women as “normal.” Mariah looked just fine, albeit too under-dressed. My problem with Mariah was how she kept “working it” as if her whole identity was tied up in her sexuality. Thank you MTV, VH1 and BET.

Twila and I saw Brokeback Mountain in Santa Fe on the way home. (Because it was never going to come here.) Wow. WOWOW is all I can say. Incredible acting. Luscious cinematography. And a well-told story. Heath Ledger captured the quiet and closed-lipped cowboy to perfection. Jake G (because I can’t spell his last name) exuded his torment without chewing the scenery. It would be a tough call to say who was the better actor. I can’t remember a movie I felt was better crafted. And oh, that Randy Quaid! Just a look and he says it all!

So it was a wonderful end to the old year and start of the new. I am sure this year will be full of abundance and change. And I anxiously look forward to that.

May your New Year be the start of something big!

And here’s a quick tip for you:

Keep in mind that toilet seat covers in restrooms are meant to disintegrate when they get wet. Consequently, when you step out of somewhere wet… oh, let’s say a mineral pool or something… and you use one of those toilet seat covers… they’re going to disintegrate. In places from which you will have trouble removing all the little dissolved and semi-dissolved pieces.

In simple language… dry your butt before you go.

Love and kisses….
