How to join Mensa
It took me
1 day
It made me
Accomplished!

How I did it: I always thought I needed to go take the test, and simply never got around to doing it. I discovered that they accept results from certain, similar tests. I ordered copies of my SAT and ACT scores since those were easy enough to obtain, and confirmed I met the thresholds for membership according to those tests.

40 years
It made me
Satisfied!

How I did it: As a former McD's employee, I understand that part of the spirit of the question "do you want fries with that?" as a desire to truly help the customer. I practice this as a work ethic.

blog more
Daily! 12 months ago

My goal is also to blog regularly, at least once a day, and keep up my photo galleries and photo blog. While anything is excess is a bad thing, spending 15 to 30 minutes a day indulging in creative writing (blogging, journaling, working on that novel) is a healthy practice.
