Comment by Steph S. on April 25, 2013 at 1:03pm: Idaho thanks for the link / there's lots of misinformation out there about Introverts. Don't believe everything you read.

Comment by Steph S. on April 25, 2013 at 1:02pm: John welcome to the group!

Comment by Idaho Spud on April 24, 2013 at 9:14am: Yesterday, I saw a PBS show about digestion that had an interesting bit about extraverts and neurotics response to pain in the digestive system. The neurotics responded by reducing blood pressure and heart rate which probably has a calming affect, while the opposite happened to extroverts. The video talks about this at about minute 35: http://video.pbs.org/video/2364996213

They never mentioned Introverts, but it sounds like they were saying that introverts are neurotics. Comments?

It's been sunny here today - getting very cold at night.

Yesterday was so windy. Some people got some roof damage because of the high winds.
