Mood rings. Do you have one?

Ok, so I use the firefox browser and just recently added the Google toolbar, right! Well, there are all kinds of neat little things that you can add to that toolbar whether they be for fun or actual tools you can use. Well I added this cute little feature called the "Mood Ring". Remember those? I used to have one back in the day. So anyway, last night was the first time I really paid attention to that ring, and it actually changed colors. The tripiest part is that what it said as far as my emotions and feelings go were right on target. It hit me, but really didn't faze me...until now. See I was trying to put a video from a site called Heavy.com into my shoutbox, but the stupid code didn't work...for here or on my Myspace. So I got all frazzled and went in search of Youtube. I looked up at the toolbar and noticed that the ring was a different color...it said that I was stressed and working too hard and something else that I can't remember. But the point is, is that was exactly what I was going through. I was getting stressed because the code didn't work and I was working too hard to not only get it to work, but having to go in search of it at different sites!! It really makes you wonder just how in the hell stuff like that works? I mean, I'm on the computer, how would it know how I was feeling, you know? TRIPPPPY...LMAO!! Ha, ha!! Now it says "comfortable, breezy, at rest, lovable"!! WOW!! So how do you feel about the mood ring? Did it ever work for you? What is your take on how it works through the computer?

I really hate to download stuff for the computer because I'm always worried about what things might be attached to it. This mood ring sure sounds like fun though. I remember mood rings back in the 60's which may be when they first came out. We all wore them and was fascinating watching the colors change and trying to figure it out. Must be a good sign that you should stay on myLot here for awhile - comfortable etc... LOL

Ya, you don't download it, you just add it to your toolbar. But I'm just like you in that I'm pretty cautious in what I download...especially from a site I'm not familiar with. Wow, that really shows my age because I didn't know that mood rings were THAT old!! LMAO!! I never knew what it meant when I had one as a kid, I just thought they were cool...along with that mood changing lipstick, now that was a trip too!!

how funny! I suppose it pays attention to what things you search and post etc. and then makes a character and mood analysis .... kind of like the so called psychics do. *shrug* I loved my mood rings of the 70s, they were so-------------fascinating.

No, you're not crazy!! I'm glad that I brought it to your attention cause they are fun!! I hope you enjoy it! I don't know how exact it is ALL the time because like I said, I just noticed it last night and I've had it for a few weeks now. When I came back from taking a small break to put my toddler down for a nap it said that I was anxious and something else, which part of it was true. Since I've been here for a little it changed back to the "lovable" one...oh my gosh, now it changed to "heightened inner emotional state, moderately relaxed"...how true is that!! I'm LOVING IT!!

I had a mood necklace, but I lost it when I was younger. I had that mood ring application on my firefox toolbar too. But I only had it for 2 hrs and got rid of it because I was fustrated and wasn't patient enough to let the thing work. But after hearing about your experience I might want to add it back again.

Awe that necklace sounds cool, I'm sorry you lost it!! Ya, I paid attention to it (the ring) for a little after I got it and because it showed blue all the time I just forgot about it. Makes me wonder how long it's really been working. I don't know what made me look up last night, but I'm glad that I did. So ya, check it out again!! Just give it longer than a few hours, LoL!!
