Blatantly stolen from lots of peeps. I can't imagine that this will be of interest to anyone but myself, but I find it a pretty accurate assessment. Especially the part about losing things. ;cP

Your Brain Usage Profile:

Auditory : 52%
Visual : 47%
Left : 17%
Right : 82%


Tracy, you are strongly right-hemisphere dominant with balanced preference for auditory and visual modes of processing, a very effective mix for creativity and spontanaiety while being amenable to direction and focus.

With this combination you are likely a very impatient learner. On the one hand, you deal with large abstractions while you must frequently reduce your processing to one dimensional channels. Fortunately, you also have the attributes of a visual learner so that simultaneous processing is also available to you.

In a similar vein, your right hemisphere gives you an abstract orientation that you are able to link to the organizational and sequen- tial resources of the auditory learner.

You are more passionate than most and have the capacity to be very persuasive. You can detect a great deal by listening to others and this, combined with your intuitive capabilities, would tend to make you an excellent friend.

You are less reflective about yourself or your motivations, unless forced to be. Your tendency is to respond simultaneously to people and avoid a need to have expectations or demands.

Overall, your organization and planning are flexible, and you are successful in "winging it" with sufficient verbal sophistication to blend with your spontaneity and creativity. You will experience discomfort only when situations become too organized or rigid and find yourself wanting to either flee or challenge them.

You may be disorganized with piles of stuff laying everywhere. Unlike the more visually oriented person, however, you have a hard time relocating whatever you place unless you verbally state to yourself where you are putting something and then remind yourself what you are looking for when you go to retrieve it.

I forgot to post that I had a looong conversation with my dentist on Friday over this whole OSLYMI* issue and the buttload of money that it was going to cost. I told her how incredibly disappointed I was to be told this information HALFWAY THROUGH the procedure, and while I understand that sometimes costs vary a bit, almost double the original estimate was out of bounds.

Well, the stuff costs what it costs, but she did suggest an alternative, which is to use composite material to fix the discoloration and build a new tooth in the front (the one that was going to be crowned). I asked her what the downside was to using composite vs. a crown, and mainly, it boiled down to a) a crown will last pretty much forever, and since the composite is being built on a tooth that is already broken, there is no guarantee that it will last, and b) it will discolor, which a cap will not.

Well, I've had this last composite tooth for 21 years, so I'm not worried about durability. And *all* my teeth will discolor over time. I don't smoke any more, so that's the biggest stain factor right there. So far, so good.

What would it cost?

"About 800E"

Sold!

So that's what I'm going to do. Yay! \O/
