Ever take an internet diagnostic test which says it will guess your age,IQ, education level or at what age you will die?
I took one a couple of days ago. It said it would guess my age if I answered some questions. I answered all the questions! Well the test tells me I'm 38! Funny. I was born in 1937 which SHOULD mean that I am 81! So much for tests. Sheesh! :)
Is that what that means Walt? My mind is 38? What happened to all I've experienced and learned since then? If I'm still at 38 aren't I stuck somewhere in a long ago? I know you mean it in a flattering way which I appreciate but don't you think it's kinda dumb? I mean that is INSULTING as he** if you think about it. These test maker uppers put everyone in a restrictive box. If you are such and such age you will like such and such and buy such and such and read such and such and eat such and such to which I say BALDERDASH! Apologies for the rant but to be pigeonholed like tat by a complete stranger? Do you know when you're older many folks look right through you? Few will make eye contract and even fewer will smile and if they see you often fewer still will recognize you? Boy I bet you wish you didn't answer this. Apologies once again. The irritation isn't directed at you. It's the entire idea of knowing how anything someone is by what his/her likes and dislikes are infuriates me. I am moving on! Only I'm gonna ask a question about it! Thank you for your reply m'dear! I wonder how old you would be told you are when taking a test some perfect stranger made up in a research cubicle somewhere in upper timbucktoo?

Mostly my body goes along with my mind. Every once in awhile it acts up and gets very cheeky and does its own thing despite my wishes. But mostly it knows its place and stays there! Thank you for your reply Walt. I wouldn't mind reliving an hour here and an hour there of my different ages/stages in life But staying there and reliving all of it AGAIN? There isn't enough money in the world to make me do that! :)
