    Frog hat!

    Sorry, what was that drivel about personalities? I sees a cute kitteh.

    What if your personality is based in being consistently unpredictable? What about that, huh?

    What really? All my friends-that-are-girls have way more personalities than me. Then again I have none.

    What a strange definition of personality. Are they saying that a dude who comes home from work every day and drinks beer and scratches his balls while watching ESPN is exhibiting more personality than someone who goes to a museum, writes poetry, hangs with friends, runs, watches TV, etc. etc. because BallScratcher McCoorsDrinker is more consistent and predictable in his behavior?

    If that's the case, then I'll be happy to have the personality of a dishrag.

    @whynotshesaid: Heh.

    From what I've learned in college psych, personality as predictable behaviors doesn't mean what you actively DO, necessarily, but more of how you repeatedly react to things. Like me for instance, I pretty much always get defensive when criticized, so that's a part of my personality. So the collection of your typical reactions to different situations would be considered your personality.

    @unalteredone: Well, that makes a hell of a lot more sense than what I was envisioning. Thanks for clearing that up.

    My male cat is always wearing large hats too. But I consider my female cat laughing at him to be a sign of her personality.

    I feel like "personality" is the wrong word to describe consistency...

    @Tippi Hedren: That's what I thought... I mean, at its worst, consistency is just plain boring, which sure doesn't constitute personality as far as I'm concerned.

    But maybe I'm missing something.

    @Tippi Hedren: If anything, consistency seems like a stronger case for doing things based on biology or drive rather than personal choices and quirks.

    Story's like this just make me amazed at what humans are capable of discovering.

    Anecdote: My mom had open heart surgery and when they cut open her chest, her breastbone shattered. They reconstructed the bone using a mesh cylinder that, yep, biodegrades over the course of a decade. AWESOME. #breastcancer

    I don't get a lot of the comments here, unless people just didn't read the article (which is probably the case). The articles don't talk about child-free couples at all. The comparison was between married parents and single/separated/cohabitating parents. #children

    Ya know, I'd love to have a planned child with my husband someday, but I can only do that if my birth control pill will stop FAILING. #children

    WAIT WAIT WAIT. So planned and/or culturally celebrated occurrences make people happier than unplanned and/or culturally shamed occurrences???

    I am shocked -- SHOCKED! -- I tell you. And yes, to my sinister onion of a heart, children=occurrences. #children
