The problem with many of these so-called personality tests that I've seen is that they have no shades of gray. Whether I'm an introvert or an extrovert, for example, depends on the circumstances e.g., who I'm with and how well I know them, whether I'm in a familiar environment or an unfamiliar one, whether I'm in my comfort zone professionally or whether I'm learning new content from experts in other fields, and a million other factors. Most of the time when I've seen questions on these "tests" my answer would be, "Well, it depends . . . ."

Oh, I love this story! My mom was an Army Air Corps nurse in WWII and kept in touch with several of her buddies for decades. Sadly, they're all gone now but my fond memories of these brave and wonderful women remain!

I highly recommend Chuck Wendig's book "Wanderers" for the same reason.

I thought this was quite interesting, but of course it doesn't account for tastes in music, either. I mean, I know it was looking at "popular" music, but there's a lot of music from the 2000s that i like a lot--but in different genres, such as folk, jazz, Americana, and so-called "contemporary classical" music. So when I took the quiz, there was no music presented by Gabriel Kahane, Rhiannon Giddens, Becca Stevens, and numerous others I listen to all the time, but who are "popular" to a smaller --but enthusiastic-- group of listeners. Even though I'm "old" I still seek out new music.

It's so hard to see the "before" pictures but so gratifying when you see what happens when someone loves and cares for them.

I vote abomination.

Maybe it's because I'm 59, but to me a person who is 69 is not "old"! I expected the story to be about someone in his late 80s or early 90s . . . 69? He's got YEARS ahead! :)

Hooray! This was a happy little story.

They call themselves "Million Moms" but the group has far, far fewer than a million followers: https://www.truthorfiction.com/how-many-moms-are-in-one-million-moms/

It's an interesting question, and one that might just depend on the person involved. For example, I know people who have given up cigarettes cold turkey--just stopped and never looked back (usually after some health scare). Others have gradually weaned themselves off over time. I know that for me, some things (such as cutting down on over-processed carbs) work better if I just completely stop because I can't trust myself to "just have a little" of it (crackers, pretzels, rolls at dinner). Other things are better if I do them over time (like exercise--I've gradually increased over time). I'd be interested to know what others think.

And one can have meat and one can be all veggie, which makes the group I hang out with happy too!

"Reply all" is the bane of corporate existence.

This reminds me of the movie "A Town Called Panic."

My husband and I will play that game--play just the first chord of a favorite song and then stop the music. He's super good at it--he has a music background--but I'm pretty good too! It really is amazing how fast the brain can recognize music.

Thank goodness they came along to save the poor thing!
