Here is the link. It has been tempermental for some people. I still can not access my account. It says I do not exist. Oh dear.

Seskaroonie, what's the link to yours? I couldn't find a link on either of your sites.
Heather, I failed miserably on yours. It's official, I am a Bad Friend. I did best my 2nd try, worst my third try. I think I'll try it a few more times for good measure.
but I didn't do terribly on Chris' - 50 ain't bad when you're dealing with his variety of questions...
and now, I'm outta here. Jim's shooting a friend of his 10 feet from the computer, time for me to go shopping...

OK, I am on the friend's test bandwagon. Poor Heather got a ten. Of course my questions were best answered if you knew me in person. A couple were tricky since they had specific dates or rather years attached to them. My honey did pretty good -an 80 -though he found their server very slow and that may have had him clicking just to end the painful experience.
I would have received an 80 on Heather's if it weren't for two questions I misunderstood. I had mixed up vet with vegetarian in her anecdote she has posted on her ST bio page. OOPS! And then I knew she wore both glasses and sunglasses but did not find an answer for that so I chose the sunglasses answer since it seemed more glamourous. OOPS again!
And now the friend's test page is giving me trouble. It does not accept my account name. It must be because this site belongs to the devil!

Hanne...
I don't have to stop fantasizing about HB and HC, because the other way to list the question is who you haven't slept with yet. Even for an old slut like me that could [Goddess willing] be an even longer list than the past. Well, probably not but it could still be a good list.
I've been fascinated to see how many of the folks I sent that Friend's thingie to have played around with it - I feel so guilty about that.
Not.

Since Jane was bound and determined this morning to entice me not to do more work, I caved in.
Be warned. I had a helluva lot of espresso this morning. Anyone who gets all of them right who is not B. or my father will be considered highly suspect.

Reduce our collective fascination? Hardly. We have yet to divulge the names of all the people we have slept with. Only, respectively, one of the people we haven't. And just which list do you think is more interesting?
Besides. Everyone knows that what our readers truly want to know about us is whether or not we were really separated at birth, not whether or not we fuck.
And on that subject, I will keep my lips zipped. ;)

Heather, you should feel redeemed. I made mine really really hard on purpose, you did as well as Jim when he finally took it this morning and he's been living with me for 6 years now...

Yeah, I suck. Especially at test-taking. Columbus, see, starts with a C, and therefore must be Cleveland. Plus, it seems that SOME people like to be very cute, witty and tricky in their questions. Hmph.
I only got a 60 on Peter's and a 70 on Jane's but then, that was the highest score on Jane's, so I feel somewhat redeemed.
You know, Hanne, I think you have just managed to reduce our collective fascination quotient by a good 50%. :P

You're forgiven, Peter. Some of the questions were actually tricky, and if you didn't know me pretty well (or pay very close attention to a very wide spectrum of what I publish, or both), you'd not likely get them all right just by guessing. So far only my SO and one of my dearest friends (who is also often my pro bono editor, bless her heart) have managed to get 100%. I mean, even Heather only got 80%. I bet my mom wouldn't even get 100%. Maybe I should make her take it, just to see...
For those wondering what we're talking about, it's this.
HB (Who has often noted that it's awfully handy that Heather and I don't have the same *last* initial too... we get enough people who can't figure out which one of us is HB and which one is HC as it is. And while I'm on the subject, I'd also just like to let everyone who has ever asked me this in an interview, or simply presumed it was true, know that no, Heather and I are NOT lovers. Not that we wouldn't keep the neighbors up all night if we were. But we're not. Yeesh. Some people's overactive imaginations.)

Hanne...
I sincerely apologize. On the Hanne Friend Test I only got a 70.
I'll slink off now....

I really think you're going to have to post the visual aids of your own photos to augment your arguments here.
Let's see if a 50lb 00goddess looks any different from the 300lb 00goddess.
Purely in the interests of science, of course.

Argh!
You're had me in giggles all morning. (well, my morning.)
The mvm.com thing is rather ridiculous. I am also really weirded out that from 50-100 pounds looks exactly the same. I don't worry about anorexic women being inspired by it, though, because in my observation, they will inspire themselves in any way possible.
The biggest difference between my body and the mvm model is that, while fat, the mvm body is much more toned. It's a fat body with no flab. And as shapely as I may be, I am also flabby. In the land of virtual models, nothing rolls or droops, and thighs are always tight. Flowers bloom, the sun always shines, everyone is happy...

I second Hanne and Peter here- loveand strength to the each and both of you, and, I hope, joy. Take care of yourselves.
love,

Strength to you both, doll. And as you know, I agree with the statute of limitations about dirty laundry: which is why my closer friends may hear about what's going on "on the inside" of my relationships, but the world at large does not.
Incidentally, you have gotten my cats addicted to Spot's Stew and Dream Coat. And you have gotten me hooked on Blogger. Evil minx. But you will never, ever, get me hooked on ICQ.
