| The only thing really wrong with the word "eccentric" is that "eccentric" is the word people use when they're trying not to say "weird." Might as well just say "weird," huh? I don't like "heavy" for the same reason. It's what people go to when they're trying not to say "fat," so for gosh sakes, just... |

| I am sorry, we won't be able to make it this time. Our elderly cat who has kidney failure has just taken a turn for the worse, and sadly, we must take her to the vet for the last time tomorrow. |

| I had to vote "other" because several of the answers would have been correct. Although the death of a person is tragic, the thousands of deaths caused by him is even more tragic, and his death needed to happen. I am glad he is gone, but I don't feel it is morally right to celebrate the fact. |

I was also wondering why the OP hasn't come back and defended his/her viewpoint. What I likened it to was a hit-and-run driver. Cause wreckage, and flee the scene.
I'm a 46-year-old woman, and I don't even know what ToM is. |

Exactly right. I wondered wtf was meant by "just emo" anyway. |

| I am ambidextrous. I remember even my kindergarten teacher expressing frustration because she never knew whether to give me the righty or the lefty scissors. Today I can do most things with either hand, including writing, but I prefer to use my left. There is a small number of things I do with one h... |

| Just to confirm my suspicions, I ran a little test on my husband. The joke, on a television show, was that a character said something, and another character answered, "I don't like the sound of that." So the first character said the same thing he'd said before, in an entirely different tone. Presuma... |

As an adult, I have innocently asked a stranger at a red light if he had the correct time, please, and he answered, "Yeah, it's time to get your fat ass......" and then drove away before I heard the rest. ... |

You type 358 characters per minute
You have 65 correct words and
you have 3 wrong words
I'd like to go back to work eventually, so I want to practice and improve on that. And no, I didn't look at the keys. 
Any time I make a mistake, it's usually because I reversed two letters. |
