Message: <blockquote data-quote="Copabanana" data-source="post: 659778" data-attributes="member: 18958">The profession I was most highly correlated with was California Prison Inmate. In college I took a psychology class in Personality Assessment. We took the CPI, California Personality Inventory, which was correlated with professions. I missed the day when the results were explained but picked up the test.So, I went 2/3 of my life with that stigma. Except I kinda thought it was cool to be a closet sociopath. Until I had to face the truth. I was also correlated highly with Artist, which shares with prison inmates a disregard for conventional norms, and a willingness to break with them.Before I went to graduate school I went for kicks to a Vocational Counselor at the university from which I had gotten my BA and took a battery of tests. The counselor was horrified at my professional goal which he felt I was completely unsuited for. I cried, because I really was dead set on my goal.I think he said I should have been an Air Force Colonel or a CEO. There is nobody who is less suited to these posts than am I.  Especially in my prison inmate guise. Delicious. I never made donuts. Cake or raised?Delicious. I will look online for a recipe.Interesting, Cedar. I will Google this after I look up Blueberry Pie Squares. I have my priorities.That is where I have my fat. And the chest area.Thank you. But I do not see what you see.We have all kinds of camping and fishing gear. We live by beautiful mountains. There is a meadow with several rivers running through. 2 hours away. We have never been but I would go there for a weekend or a week.Neither M or I is a confident driver. But we both love the train.  If we had a care plan for the animals, we would go across country to a big, industrial City near New York City.If we could figure out how to go there with 2 dogs and a cat, we would bring them with us. We are dependent upon either the plane or somebody driving us.  And we know nobody in this part of the country. It is hard to figure out the logistics. We want to stay there throughout a winter so we can see if we can tolerate the climate. I know I can. It is M who is concerned, because he comes from a place that is perpetually spring.  The idea behind this city is that it is close to NYC.  There would be a lot of incentive to leave the house. That is where we would go. M cannot leave the country.  If he could, we would go to Mexico to help his parents.Thank you for asking, Cedar.However much I like to travel internationally, I do not want to leave without M. Maybe I will at some point, but not now.  No matter how ambivalent I sometimes feel, he is my security.Cedar, what are these like? With a heel or flat? I cannot imagine sparkly sandals with socks?  Or do you change your shoes when it gets cold?Cedar, I love this image. Now if you can figure out how we can travel with 3 I would be grateful.We have moved with 2 animals and stayed in motels, until we got situated, but 3 seemslike too much. And then we are worried about the climate, because our dogs are used to being outside a lot. We do not know if East Coast dogs go outside when it is cold. And with Romeo's bathroom problem, it could be uncomfortable for all.Great, SWOT. I am still checking my sister's house on Zillow. She lowered the price 25k. I'll stop looking when she sells it.<img src="/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/felttip/sheepish.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":sheepish:" title="sheepish    :sheepish:" data-shortname=":sheepish:" />Thank you, ladies. You both sound upbeat and content. And I am glad of it. SWOT, what little I know about EMDR is good. Especially in overcoming trauma.</blockquote>
