The Halftone Test

You Are Assertive

You are a direct and honest person. You have no problem asking for what you want in life. You are self-reliant and confident. You believe you have as much right to be here as anyone else, and you aren't about to be pushed around. The light side of you is highly independent and empowered. You enjoy life the best you can, on your terms. You are extremely courageous and willing to put it all out on the line. You trust your decisions. The dark side of you is blunt to the point of overwhelming others. You don't know how to be any way but honest. You have a strong sense of justice, and it's hard for you to let go of times you've been wronged. You tend to hold a grudge.

"You tend to hold a grudge." I don't know about the rest of the results, but that one is spot-on.

The Same 13 Letters

"Eleven plus two" and "twelve plus one" both equal 13 and both have 13 letters.

In fact, they both have THE SAME 13 letters.

Typing the Longest Word

"Typewriter" is the longest word that can be made using the letters on only one row of the keyboard.

European Cookies

No, not the edible kind but the ones put on your computer.

I was checking my Blogger dashboard and saw this notice:

European Union laws require you to give European Union visitors information about cookies used on your blog. In many cases, these laws also require you to obtain consent.

As a courtesy, we have added a notice on your blog to explain Google's use of certain Blogger and Google cookies, including use of Google Analytics and AdSense cookies.

You are responsible for confirming this notice actually works for your blog, and that it displays. If you employ other cookies, for example by adding third party features, this notice may not work for you. Learn more about this notice and your responsibilities.

Since this blog is sited on U.S. servers, I never had seen the notice here, but I have seen it on other websites. I dislike it, especially having to close the nag notice. To see if the notice had been included and to make sure I was complying with this idiotic rule, I amended the blog's URL, like this.

Sure 'nuff, there's the notice.  What a relief!  I'd hate to have Interpol after me!

(Note:  I checked the UK link after I posted this and didn't see the notice- which means I now have a cookie telling my browser I've already seen it.  Not sure if that's the definition of ironic, but it's certainly funny.  If you don't see it, then it's probably because you've either recently visited a UK or other European blog and the cookie is still on your computer)
