Imagine yourself strolling along a path at your local zoo.
Which of the animals is the first to attract your attention? Psychologist Dr.
Marilyn Provost, of CharlesDarwinUniversity,
says there's a primal connection between your personality and your favorite zoo
animal. "We've all encountered people who resemble bears, baboons or
others in the animal kingdom," Provost explains. "Research shows that
your favorite zoo animal reflects your personality." Here's what the
beasties reveal about the real you:
Monkeys and Apes --
Like our primate cousins, you're quick-witted, socially exuberant and full
of enthusiasm. Whether on the job, at home or on vacation, you attract
others like bees to honey.You possess a contemplative side when it's time
for important decisions or analysis of complex situations. No matter the
obstacles, your self confidence keeps you cool in a crisis.
Gators and Reptiles --
The beauty of these critters isn't apparent at first glance, but you're
the kind of person who searches beyond the superficial. Your imagination
is an endless source of creative ideas, and you usually have more than one
ingenious project in progress at a time. You handle problems intuitively,
surprising family and friends with clever solutions.
Walruses and Seals --
You share an infectious charm with these talented creatures, and you're
able to win others to your way of thinking when it counts. With a passion
for everything from pro football to Broadway musicals, you're a well
rounded person who fits into any group with ease. You're also an engaging
conversationalist who's often the life of the party.
Elephants and Giraffes
-- The size of these animals relates directly to your need to experience
all that life has to offer. You're up for any new adventure, and you have
little problem getting others to follow your lead. You're rarely shy about
your desires and unafraid to make demands. Your determination to overcome
any challenges usually ends in triumph.
Tigers and Lions --
The strength and might of these creatures is a source of wonder to a soft
hearted person like you. Gentle and ethereal, you bring out a protective
instinct in lovers and strangers. But you also possess a regal quality
that puts the haughtiest lioness in the jungle to shame. People find this
duality of spirit intriguing as they discover your still waters do run
deep.
Grizzlies and Polar Bears
-- You're as fiercely loyal as any mama bear, reveling in your role as the
chief nurturer of your clan. You're in your element when you're dispensing
homemade soup along with shrewd advice. Your generous spirit and
compassion for others also makes you an important figure in your community
as you strive to make life better for everyone.

We shared this on the show this morning. "5 Things You Should Never Say to a
Woman" Personally I think you could
add 75 or 80 other items to this list…but hey….here it is:
Forbidden Phrase #1:
"Relax." Understand, a woman screaming and carrying on in anger
or frustration or panic thinks that her response is 100 percent
appropriate. You're denying that there's a reason to be upset.
Forbidden Phrase #2: "I
love you." (During a fight) In real life, a woman hears "I love
you" most often at that point in a fight when she desperately wants
to get to the heart of the issue.
Forbidden Phrase #3:
"It's up to you." (a.k.a. "Whatever you want to do is fine
with me.")
Forbidden Phrase #4:
"You knew I was this way when you married me."
Forbidden Phrase #5:
(Nothing) Say... Anything. Throw the ball back. Throw it badly. Even risk
throwing a wild pitch and letting her take an extra base. But keep your
head in the game.
