Agree 100%. In-house is where we belong. Services have been our downfall.
And privacy issues would no longer be a concern.
It's a personality test... sm
It is the Meyer-Briggs personality test. There are four componts that show how you relate to the world. Take the test. When you get your results, do a Google search to find a description. I've taken several Meyers-Briggs tests, and I always come up an INFP. I've read the descriptions of my personality, and I think it is dead-on right.
First Letter: I or E, which stands for introversion or extroversion
Second Letter: N or S, which stands for intuition or sensory
Third Letter: T or F, which stands for thinking or feeling
Fourth Letter: P or J, which stands for perceiving or judging
I love piggies! They have such personality. :) nm

Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder...
You just described my ex, and he has passive aggressive personality disorder and oppositional defiant disorder.
Here's a description: http://www.toad.net/%7Earcturus/dd/papd.htm.
I would also recommend reading "Why Does He Do That? Inside The Minds of Angry and Controlling Men" by Lundy Bancroft. You can buy it at Barnes and Noble and amazon.com.
My ex loves to annoy people for the fun of it. The only way you can get him to do anything is to tell him not to do it. And, of course, he is extremely controlling. It is just my opinion, but I think that people with these types of personality problems just shouldn't be married to anyone. Every time my ex gets a new girlfriend, I really just want to give the poor girl a hug. If your husband has this type of personality, you really should divorce him. Life is just too short to spend it with someone who makes everyone around them miserable.
They say that this is the most difficult personality disorder to live with..
My therapist said that of all the personality disorders/mental illnesses, this is the one that is the most difficult to live with, and I think that it even mentions that in the diagnostic criteria. Once my ex was diagnosed, a huge weight lifted off of me, and I no longer felt so much anger and frustration. I can't tell you how good it feels AFTER you divorce someone like this. Suddenly the world just seems wonderful when you don't have to deal with them anymore.
Good grief...multiple personality disorder???
I completely disagree. Taylor is very marketable. He has charm, personality and CAN SING!

In her case, I'm guessing personality or mental disorder. After all, they are pretty common. NM

ELLIOTT
I am a singer and I appreciate his voice. He may not be much to look at, but he is coming along. Better hair last night. I get goosebumps when he sings.
I think Elliott....
...will sell some CD's. I don't think he'll be a SUPERSTAR or anything. But he has a substantial fan base and they will surely buy. Depends on the label and PR.
I don't get the attraction to Kat either. She's physically attractive I suppose (not to me of course, LOL) and she can sing, but she doesn't seem to have "it". The 3 guys all have "it" in their own ways/style.
Elliott's teeth. sm
I noticed that during the initial audition. They are getting better, he has been having dental work done for at least the last two shows. He has such a nice voice, I am sure before the grand finale his teeth will look real nice.
Taylor or Elliott
I'm rooting for Taylor or Elliott now that Chris is gone. I really don't want Katherine to win, but I have the feeling she will. Supposedly people are saying she's more "marketable"
I really like Elliott the best but I think Taylor
will win. I just think it's a shame if Kat is in the final two. I think Elliott completely deserves to be at LEAST 2nd. I think he will do well regardless and hope he gets a record deal out of this at least. He's different, Taylor is different, but nothing about Kat is anything but ordinary. Of course Chris was different too. I thought it would be cool to be down to the three guys. I think they're all unique, they all have completely different styles, and that's great. I think they ARE American Idols. They each highlight a different kind of music that Americans love. I really hope that Elliott stays tonight!
I'm in tears over Elliott
What a great, great guy. I'm sorry, but Kat sure came off poorly tonight, and her mother's little "take that" for the camera while Elliott was getting his goodbye was in very poor taste. I would have loved to have had Taylor and Elliott in the finals together. I would have been happy no matter who won then. I have a 19-year-old son, and I'd be so, so proud to have him carry himself with the dignity that Elliott did tonight. I'm am so sad for him, but I hope that something good comes for him out of this.
Tell Elliott I said "Hi!!!!!!"........lol..........nm
.
Clint Black and Sam Elliott --um,um um...
x
Oh yeah, forgot about Sam Elliott
and also Robert DeNiro
I agree, also. Look at the one song Elliott did,
I don't even remember Elvis doing it, it certainly was not a common one, and he did a great job. Kat had her chance.
AI - I think Elliott is history tonight-NM

I wanted to see Elliott go to the finale, too
I'm worried about him tonight, though. I wish he would have picked a better song for his final one last night...something with a little more wow factor. Something more recognizable that people would have recognized and identified with, like Kat's Somewhere Over The Rainbow. People just turning in, who haven't watched all season and picked a favorite long ago, probably wouldn't have voted for him based on just last night. That's why I worry about Taylor if he makes it to the finals next week. Plenty of people will tune in just for the finals and I think if Kat is there, she will definitely have the advantage over Taylor to get those voters. I'm not giving up on Elliott until the show's over tonight, though.
It all depends on who gets Elliott's voters
with everyone being in the 33% range last week that tells you the fan voting for Kat and Taylor was just about even. The key is in who gets the Elliott voters and from what I read on the AI boards it sure won't be Kat.
It's getting harder to pick. I'm afraid maybe Elliott but
hoping it's Katharine (although the second song she did last night was WONDERFUL). Elliott should NEVER have sang "I want to go home," that could stick in the minds of people when voting.
Along with this, is anyone having parties during all of the this. My DH is doing Pampered Chef and we've been invited to an AI party to do PC. The party will start at 6 and it should be lots of fun.
Taylor/Elliott finale would be my dream
Then, I wouldn't be disappointed no matter who won and who came in second. I thought Chris was great in the beginning, too. Now, he just does nothing for me. I thought he was really contrived last night. Katherine did really awful on that second song, and she has never shown that spark, either, at least to me. Taylor I've loved from the beginning, and Elliott has grown on me a lot. I think he's the contestant who has grown the most in the competition, sort of like Clay. I'm waiting to see what Zaba Search says in about an hour, but they had him in last place last night. I hope Dial Idol is correct this time, but I just don't know. I will be very disappointed if Elliott goes home tonight instead of Katherine. It could be a big shocker like the first year and maybe Chris will go home? Doubtful.
Have you noticed how Ryan hugs all over Elliott?
He doesn't touch Taylor or the other guys but each time Elliott is on stage with him he's hugging and touching him.
Elliott needs to be with his very sick Mom. Being the Idol would prevent that. sm
Besides, from what he said about AI being a "steppingstone," he's probably been contacted by someone big. He's going to make it, no matter what. I think being the Idol at this time would be too much for his personal life. His mother needs him now, and he knows it.
I hope either Paris or Elliott go home tonight
I think it will come down between Taylor and Chris. Ultimately, I hope Chris wins it - I LOVE HIM!
great info on Efraym Elliott Yamin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliot_Yamin
Elliott was yelling Soul Patrol tonight!
Gotta love Elliott. I'll be there to buy his CD...no doubt about it.
Sam Elliott, John Travolta, Charlie Sheen.
Katherine has got to go. I also thought Elliott and Taylor ruled the night!
Chris was okay, but we all KNOW he's better than this. I'm hoping his first CD is the "Walk the Line."
Saw him on CMT show with John Fogarty. Great, great singer with a neat personality and drop dead
gorgeous without seeming to know it.
