Leonor A.	August 13, 2009 8:36 PM Ah!, thank you Conni; these expressions, i don't understand any more, after so long of not having any contact with any english at all. Well, then i think they are probably right. yes these kind of tests are fun . well, I wouldn't put the "what kind of flower are you", or such. More fun is about ourselves, it's more interesting, and make us think, lol [ send green star]
Conni M.	August 13, 2009 7:58 PM Leonor, this is the best way I can explain it..hope this helps. One thing you can do instead of copying and pasting your results is to copy and paste the address at the top of your results page. Then we can click on it to see what they are. You Are a Plain Ole Cup of Joe ...this would mean that you are not a super fancy frilly person. But don't think plain - instead think, uncomplicated ...not plain looking or boring but not full of drama. You're a low maintenance kind of girl... who can hang with the guys....you don't have to spend hours making sure every hair is in place, that your fingernails are perfect etc. You can be happy being yourself, you can be with men and relax and have fun without only being concerned about how good you look, you can join in conversations and be comfortable. [ send green star]
Eliz K.	Leonor we got the same! August 13, 2009 7:40 PM You Are a Plain Ole Cup of Joe But don't think plain - instead think, uncomplicated You're a low maintenance kind of girl... who can hang with the guys Down to earth, easy going, and fun! Yup, that's you: the friend everyone invites. And your dependable too. Both for a laugh and a sympathetic ear. Leonor, it means we are not girlie. We are comfortable in anything we wear. Even a tee shirt and jeans. That is definitely me. [ send green star]
Leonor A.	August 13, 2009 5:49 PM Care2 must be doing these long sentences. First I only copied and pasted, and they turned out that way. Then I edit it and re-did it-- and the same happened. Well, just for u to know, lol. [ send green star]
Leonor A.	Conni, explain please : August 13, 2009 5:34 PM I don't understand the title, nor the first 2 sentences. What does it mean ? So I still can't tell if I agree or not. Thanks ! You Are a Plain Ole Cup of Joe But don't think plain - instead think, uncomplicated You're a low maintenance kind of girl... who can hang with the guys Down to earth, easy going, and fun!
