QUIZ REDUX

Cut my grass while wishing I could catch a glimpse of the asshole who leaves his dog's giant turds all over my yard because I would really like to throw these at the person and say "You forgot something, dickhead!"

Bought two hydraulic thingies and repaired my storm door that got caught in the wind and quit closing, so now it works just fine again, thank you.

Ah the joys of homeownership....

Meanwhile, Long-ignored couldn't take my half-tongue-in-cheek compatibility survey, so I'm pasting it here.

But first, the story of how the quiz came to be.

I have my personal ad on a popular dating site and occasionally meet a women from the site for coffee—and I did this the other night and damn near decided to pour coffee across my tits in order to get out of that fresh hell faster.

So I high-tailed it out of there, then came home and scribbled out a list of questions that I would ask anyone I'm considering dating if I thought she would actually answer them.

And yeah, I'll share my answers, but only if you take the quiz and share yours with me too.

So here it is, The Compatibility Quiz. Enjoy.
