Here, from Peppy Lady, is a meme. I'm not too sure about the results; some of the questions could have been answered another way I'm sure.
She published all the verses of Robert Service's "The Cremation of Sam McGee" as well. My sons' dad was a huge Service fan (he liked Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour as well) and he could recite Sam McGee all the way through. It took me back seeing those lines.

When I taught 8th grade English, "The Cremation of Sam McGee" was part of the curriculum. I loved it.
Granny,
Enjoyed your post. I like to get to know more about people. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.

My Dad loved Zane Grey also.
I came out as No. 9: The Peacemaker:
You are emotionally stable and willing to find common ground with others.
Your friends and family often look to you to be the mediator when there is conflict.
You are easy going and accepting. You take things as they come.
Avoiding conflict at all costs, you're content when things are calm.
At Your Best: You feel connected, trusting, and fulfilled. You feel at peace with your place in the world.
At Your Worst: You compromise your values to make sure peace is maintained. You give in to bullies.
Your Fixation: Harmony

Your Primary Desire: To preserve things as they are
Other Number 9's: Marge Simpson, Ronald Reagan, Audrey Hepburn, Jerry Seinfeld, and Abraham Lincoln.

You are creative and dreamy... plus dramatic and unpredictable.
You're emotionally honest, real, and easily hurt.

I think this is enneagram stuff. I came out as a 5 this time.
I'm a number 1 which I find to be entirely accurate. Kind of nice and scary at the same time!
I put it up on my blog. Thanks for sharing!
