GRAY SKITTERY
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who is confused by the number available goods that you could buy, often to the point of buying nothing. Family and friends never, never, never, let you have possession of the television remote control. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time at the confiscated property police auction seeking to buy either several magazines on home repairs or a remote controlled sports car with an air spoiler. Be on the lookout for bottles of barbeque sauce that act TOO innocent. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter G, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 768986. Your preferred shopping venue is mail order catalogs. Your special symbol is the question mark (?).
Is this You?
As a Gray Skittery, you are ambivalent, indecisive, and uncertain. You are in a constant struggle between the forces of demand and supply, production and consumption, good and evil... and you're losing the battle. You have trouble making decisions and choosing from among the seemingly infinite number of options that you perpetually face. Your shopping experiences are inevitably confusing.
This isn't me! What am I?

Charging Up Your CREDIT CARDS (aka Plastic Money)Here's the scene: You've made your monthly stop (for the second time this week) at the Mega-Mart Discount Warehouse Super Center for a few essentials -- cashews, soap, licorice, garden hose, peanut clusters, color television, and a large inner tube for whitewater rafting. Do you pay with a check or whip out your Interstate OmniBank Platinum Diamond Express credit card? Credit card? Good choice. You don't actually have to PAY for the stuff that you're buying -- at least not right away. Your bank account is safe.
