<p>Oh goodness my score was 47! Maybe I need to run out and get a tattoo while texting like mad.</p>
<p>I found that lovely ramune soda at World Market today. I was running around all day and came home to find the power out so it’s now in the fridge getting cold. D1 is home for the weekend and she and D3 are quite intrigued by the idea of the floating marble.</p>
<p>Well I had to go back and do it again because my score was only 12 and I thought I’d missed something but noooooooooooooooo, it really was 12. Does this mean I have to get about 8 tatoos and a few piercings real quick?</p>
<p>I am 31!!! dinosaur? what is range like? when should I worry? 20? 10?
so this is how Pew Research center works.
I often heard in NPR and thought
“how the he*l do they know?”
ohohoh I almost checked on up to 45 age range forgetting I am no longer in it.
suppose if I checked that, I must be total dinosaur.
thanks loveblue, you didn’t do whiteness test but this made up for it, hahaha</p>
<p>whaattt? smarty took “test”?</p>
<p>Gasp…15???</p>
<p>What, a high power career should be important to me??? Not sure a piercing or three would make enough of a difference to make it worth it. Here I was thinking I was so cool because I have elite world of warcraft toons… (shhhh)</p>
<p>D1 took the quiz and only got 63 and she has a piercing… she feels abashed.</p>
<p>switters got high!
my H got 84 and my D got 51. I did joking with her that she is the oldest of our family! Our department took this for fun and our directer got 4! That maybe true, he didn’t even open online chat at work! If we need to talk to him, we have to walk to his office.</p>
<p>artsmarts: your’s is low. Maybe need watch more TV, at least one hour a day.
I am joking :—)</p>
<p>bears:
I can make up the whiteness test to see how white I can be. Later sometime not today.</p>
<p>Well I don’t text or tweet, no piercings or tatoos and while I don’t mind having money, I don’t want the high powered career because well, it doesn’t appeal to me and when I was on that track once I was so miserable. I like autonomy and privacy, so sue me!!!
In fact when I went into one of those phone stores to get someone else a fancy phone the people working there (all mostly around late-20s) fell on the floor laughing when I pulled my cell out of my pocket. Apparently it’s quite the dinosaur, I heard something about phones not having antennas anymore…is that true?</p>
<p>A phone with an antenna?? I guess mine doesn’t. DH gets me a new phone every couple of years (I think it’s part of the antiquated Verizon plan I’m on – that turns out to be a really good deal in this day and age). I used to have a separate PDA (Palm Pilot and beyond) and then those when the way of the dinosaur and everything is combined with the phone. I hate having to learn a new phone/pda too – and I avoid instruction manuals like the plague. As far as tweeting goes, I do have a twitter account that I set up, I even have ‘followers’ – but I never ever ‘tweet’ because I don’t quite get the utility of it – and I’m prone to lengthy long-winded and veering off topic discourses anyway. I do text-- but with D1 home, I just hadn’t happened to have done it in the last 24 hours (D1 failed that parameter too).
We get a daily paper, but I never have time to look at it (DH doesn’t either, so it basically goes straight to recycling. I want to shut it off-- but DH seems hooked on the principle of ‘if you’re a grown up person you get a newspaper delivered to your house’. The kids don’t even need to use it for current events anymore – they just go to the internet.<br>
I don’t watch much tv - but yesterday I did happen to have watched an hour during the past 24 hours. I’ve contacted a government official in the last year, no tattoos or piercings, I do play video games, I am more than minimally religious (though I didn’t classify myself at the top of that category), I don’t care about a successful high powered career – I lucked into what I’m doing now (which maybe sort of falls into that category a little bit – or maybe it seems that way because I’m doing all this travel), and we have both a land line and cell phones in the house. Oh, my parents (and d1s, lol) were/are married.</p>
<p>Time to get back to laundry.</p>
<p>Gmom
hi powered job-ed millennial shouldn’t be doing own laundry!!!</p>
<p>a 52. I could give it a bump by getting rid of my land line. My mother doesn’t even call me on my home phone. We just keep it because it is a way to reach us when everyone has misplaced their phones, put on silent, etc. No tattoos for me. My kids tell a story of this woman who had a snake tattooed on her arm in her youth. Now much older, the snake looks like a slug. LOL! Guess I’ll stay a 52 for a while</p>
<p>Meh… no housekeeper here. Useless teenagers. If I want to pack clean clothes, I gotta wash them. Kind of have to do that for DH too, he’s clueless when it comes to the washer. Or at least he pretends to be. Heck, this family of mine cannot empty the dishwasher and put the dishes away correctly (especially aspie girl who cannot tell the difference between a stainless steel mixing bowl with a handle on it and a saucepan) nor sort their laundry correctly. It’s enough to drive you crazy. So yes, I’m doing laundry. Manga girl will have to do the school uniforms next weekend. They managed when we were in China, so I guess they’ll manage now. I didn’t do any cooking for them this time though. The roast that I had cooked and left for them before I went to Hong Kong was STILL sitting in the refrigerator when we got home… along with a huge assortment of other leftovers that I had no idea what they were. I ended up having to clean the refrigerator. They may run into some trouble because manga-girl likes being in charge of cooking and baking (she loves to make goodies when I’m gone… I think she figures they deserve it since we left them home) but she doesn’t tell me when she uses up some sort of flour or another (and we probably have a dozen different kinds of starches and flours here becasue of the gluten free thing) and I just noticed that the sugar is almost all gone… looks like I’ll have to do an inventory or something when I get back. It’s annoying because some things like sweet rice flour and sorghum flour have to be mail ordered. Oh well. They’ll live.</p>
<p>Manga girl took the millenia quiz and got a 62 – even with texting. No tatoos or piercings maybe did her in… Makes me wonder about Switters though…</p>
<p>Hi! I mostly lurk around this forum but I wanted to tell you my score on the Pew quiz. I scored a three! Time to just go live in assisted living!</p>
<p>good job loveblue!
we unearthed lurkers!!
you beat smarty with biiiggg margin! champ!!!
that is intriguing name, two mules?
animal or shoes? if animal, why? do tell!!</p>
<p>Gmom
@switters
from what I saw/knew she must be either
<p>My screen name is referring to the family mules. Why mules? My husband is afraid of horses but thinks mules are comical.</p>
<p>I started lurking these threads when my niece was applying to colleges/art schools. Even though my older daughter is artsy, I am afraid she is much more of the typical CC overachiever! Being midwestern though, it is in a very Lake Wobegon way.</p>
<p>you have them? what do you do with them? boy or girl? what are the names?
do they have fuzzy warm snouts? hair color? hooves? </p>
<p>awww your woe be gone… where all men are strong, women are beautiful, children are above average.
how’s snow? you got enuff bread and coffee to last?</p>
<p>Dear two mules,
thank you so much, I am forever in your debt…
Want to go to bingo with me next Wednesday?</p>
<p>I am a woman of mystery!!! Here is is revealed:</p>
<p>I am a middle aged woman who is addicted to tv, dont read the paper, dont play video games, both land and cell, 10-49 texts, i put career as very important (but even when I went back and said somewhat important my score only went down to 79, pro mixed race marriage (less chinless Hapsburgs that way), have not contacted the government, have facebook, not religious, my parents are still married, unfortunately yes tattoo, but lets not dwell on it (this means you bears :)) no piercing, very liberal.</p>
