As for whether some woman is attractive, all I can say is, “good old internet.”

Brinkley’s daughter ain’t going to win any beauty contests. Well, maybe in rural Ohio or wherever some of you guys live. Not in New York, in fact she’d never make it in the door if not for her famous, (and boring looking), mother.

I was with some young folks the other night and one of them, a slightly cute girl, was telling a funny story about visiting home in small town PA. recently. She had to walk into a bar to use a restroom and got hit on 3 times between the door and the can. And she was with her dad and her brother! Alcohol is a wonderful thing.

“I’m a Pennsylvania 10!”, she exclaimed. Big laughter all around.

Bachelors in Psych is, I think, pretty useless. Masters might allow you to be a school guidance counselor. For Psych to be useful, you really need a PhD.

Feminine beauty is obviously subjective. We do know that the arbiters of this - Stevie Wonder, the late Helen Keller, and the late Ray Charles - can't seem to get it right. That's why the frog-mouthed Julia Roberts is a five-time People Magazine's world's most beautiful woman.

100% agree



It sure is nice we all have different views on female beauty.



And I sure agree Julia Roberts is far from beautiful.

That's a bingo!

I did plenty of work in downtown Dallas and Montreal and I ain't blind.

The dealio with this girl is she has close to the (freakish?) extended torso and hips of her Mom and she is a long way from "plain" looking.

The right masters degrees do quite well. FWIW, I’ve heard an MBA isn’t much in demand lately...likely a supply and demand thing.

Naw. The rural PA guys recognize a 10 on the easy scale.

I was specifically talking about psychology degrees.

Bachelors in Psychology - not going to do much for you, at least, not specific to that degree
Masters in Psychology - guidance counselor and apparently, LPC
Doctorate in Psychology - shrink

Everyone has different taste in women but there is only one definition for vacuous. You may want to study it to understand it better so you can use it correctly.

Vacuous
: emptied of or lacking content
: marked by lack of ideas or intelligence : stupid, inane
: devoid of serious occupation : idle

Start slowly first with pronunciation. Say it out loud so you can hear it. Then read the above definitions. If there any words in those three lines you don't understand, e.g. devoid, inane, serious, look those up on your own to get a full understanding of the definition of vacuous.

Once you are comfortable with the definition, move on to writing the word both in print and cursive. Practice 5 times each style. Then move on to using the word in a sentence. Here's an example: His posts on PPOT are typically wordy and vacuous, ironically using a lot of words to say nothing at all.

LOL. It was exactly what I meant. But you know that.

Glad I could teach you a new word. Too bad you had to go to the dictionary to get the meaning. You have probably heard it many times...and thought they were talking about you cleaning floors.

Fint,

Both women have Instagram accounts so if you really think both are equally vacuous then maybe you should dig a little more

had to look up that patch



ASE Certification
ASE offers certification tests for automotive professionals through Prometric Test Centers. These involve several exams, the passing of which, added with two years of relevant hands-on work experience, will merit certification. The required experience can be substituted by one year of on-the-job training and a two-year training degree. A recertification track is also offered for those who have had previous certification. Upon certification, the certified applicant will also receive an ASE shoulder insignia, wallet I.D. card and a wall certificate suitable for framing. As of June, 2016, ASE has stopped providing the Wallet Card, and has no plans for it to return.
ASE certification is usually required by employers for those interested in pursuing a career in professional automotive service. Some municipalities require ASE certification in order to be licensed for motor vehicle repairs, such as Broward and Miami-Dade counties of Florida.
