You Are Crimson Red

Down to earth and warm-hearted, you instantly make everyone feel at ease around you. And while you have an understated passion – you lack the uncontrolled passion of most other reds. You prefer to sit back and enjoy every situation life has to offer. You put an optimistic spin on everything. And even when things are going well, you don’t get too amped up. You prefer to keep your emotions as steady as possible.

PS. There was a nasty spam that made it through the automatic defences this afternoon. If you saw it, I apologize.

Suzi wrote a post about a marriage duration probability calculator. Our odds of making it this far came out to just under 37%. I would be interested in knowing where the formula came from.

Blame it on Andrea (who blamed it on Carrie):

Over the last month or 2, I’ve seen this in quite a few blogs. I’ve succumbed:

HowManyOfMe.com

There is: 1 person with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

That’s interesting, because this site says there are at least 2. The elderly gentleman resembles my grandfather.

Jax, eat your heart out
