YELLOW CHIPPEROON
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who has an extensive collection of happy face buttons, stickers, T-shirts, and magnets... all acquired through the sacred act of shopping. Family and friends know that they can always find you at the shopping mall. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time at a garage sale trying to buy either a flower arrangement with a lot of roses for your grandmother or a wall poster commemorating the first day of winter. Be on the lookout for small children selling products door-to-door. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter E, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 348192. Your preferred shopping venue is shopping malls. Your special symbol is the asterisk (*).

You love to compare products and prices. You love the crowds. You love chatting with the store clerks. You love every bit of the buying process. Nothing dissuades you from having a good time shopping, whether you're buying a box of facial tissues or a new house. Does it get any better than spending an afternoon at the shopping mall? No way!
This isn't me! What am I?

Bedside Family Clinic, to examine the considerable controversy over health care. A debate has raged for years over health care in the United States, including, but not limited to, the quality of services, their cost, their slice of the economic pie, who pays, who doesn't, and who should.
