Patricks Place Saturday Six

1. When you write on your blog, are you more often trying to entertain, inform or persuade?

It's more for sharing my life, like a journal.

Not really

3. Do you consider yourself to be more bold online than in person, or the other way around?

Probably more bold online.

4. Who would be most embarrassed if they read your blog?

I don't think anyone would be.

5. Take the quiz: What Kind of Communicator Are You?

You Communicate Honestly

You don't mince words. You are to the point and all about the facts.

However, you are charming enough to tell people the truth yet still not offend them.



It's likely that you have a hilarious, no holds barred sense of humor. And you sure tell an entertaining story!

You're also quite open. People can ask you anything, and you don't shy away from controversial conversation topics.

6. What do you think the biggest change has been in your online writing in the past year?

I think I talk more about my feelings now.

Saturday Six - Doctors & Health

Do you rush straight to the doctors when you feel ill?
Not usually, unless I know I have to. I havn't been to the doctors since moving to the USA from Australia as we don't have health care here. I am used to free health care in Australia.

Do you have trouble trying to make an appointment with your doctor?
In Australia I did, my doctor was very popular.

When was the last time you visited your doctor?
The last time I saw my own doctor in Australia would have been at least 6-8 months ago. I did go for a physical here in the USA for immigration in December though.

When someone close to you is ill, are you caring and considerate or do you try to stay away so you don’t catch anything?
I try to look after them as best I can. I will usually catch it no matter what anyway.

Have you ever made the excuse that your ill to get off work/school/college etc?
Yes!

What really annoys you about people when they are ill?
When they complain about being sick but won't go to the doctor or take their medicine.
