Also interesting would be whether people agree with the result they got and if so, whether they are generally happy to be in that category.

The book I read on this claimed the idea was to help one understand the strengths of other types beyond your own, to promote a kind of complimentary harmony. 

But I'm pretty sure most people just read why theirs is cool and how everyone else is seeing the world all wrong.

I'm happy to be my type since I couldn't imagine being anything else, and agree with the results because the list of famous names for my type http://www.celebritytypes.com/infp.php includes a number of people whose works I've been interested in over the years almost to the point of obsession in some cases. Some of these people could be classified as "weirdos" but that's no surprise, without even taking the test I already knew that about myself.

Wow Northern, that is one cool website.  Obama: "[As an adolescent I was] arguing all the time, usually about me failing to abide by ... petty and arbitrary rules. I found that I could generally win these arguments."  Is this why he always wins his executive actions?

I once knew this Aquarius ESFP babe born in the Year of the Dragon, with a Type 7 Enneagram and a perfect 10 on that Cosmo quiz about flirtatiousness.  Wish I could find one like her again.

What's her circumference on the torsion index? Igneous?

I just got back from a visit to Walmart. A middle-aged black dude had me take many photos of him standing up next to the fake life-size Santa for sale on his phone (thanked me profusely and said "going to make a great collage. Merry Christmas!") I shopped (all I needed was butter and milk) but long lines and it was closest place to go. Then on way out escorted an old lady, who asked because "she is not as spry as she used to be" to her car and carried her groceries and discussed Thanksgiving. Nobody stole my groceries waiting by the door while I help the lady. There is Christmas spirit already on display in Walmart.
It was a little weird.

Alas, she never let me take any proper measurements.

Nutella won’t give personalized jar to girl named Isis

Customizing a jar of Nutella could be fun for some â€" but apparently not if your name is Isis.

An Australian woman’s request to buy personalized jars of Nutella for her 5-year-old niece, Isis, was denied because of the name’s negative connotation to the Islamic State extremist militant group, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Australia’s “Make Me Yours” campaign started in September and allowed customers to personalize jars of Nutella with their own names.

However, when the sister of Australian woman Heather Taylor came into a Myer department store in New South Wales to buy the personalized gift for her niece, Isis, the name was flagged by the store’s computer.

My homage to Samuel Clemens who was born 180 years ago today. Inspired by the shitty drivers on the way to the hardware store:

It is a fool who does not anticipate that they cannot anticipate what another fool will do.

I'm in the middle of buying a new house/property. Had the home inspection done today which was awesome. But came to find out the property used to be a meth cookhouse/marijuana grow for a local biker gang which just makes me laugh and explains why it's 60k under market value.

Marijuana grow, no worries. But the meth lab clean up can be costly and there could be health dangers. Though I wonder how much danger once the actual lab, etc is removed. Some people claim lots of health problems, others vary (once the obvious signs of contamination are removed.) I'm surprised this wasn't disclosed earlier in the deal, usually, at least here by law you need to disclose (if you were aware. hint hint to sellers.) Sucks.

Hahaha, well there is certain reasons I'm buying this place.  Any grower would look at it and be like... "goddamn, WANT!" when looking at this place.

The meth thing has already been all cleaned up and is gone now but I still saw a few tell tale smudges out in one of the outbuildings. I don't know the first thing about meth cooking though but the house clearly had to have a ton of work done before going on the market and I found a "Support Your Local [Motorcycle Club Name]" sticker on the front door of the house which made me LOL. It sucks because the house was killer with lots of original wood work done before the bikers, now it's shitty sheetrock and cheap white paint as the owner obvious went the cheap route trying to repair the disaster the bikers left behind.

But fuck it man, 60k under market value and a really cool property out in the middle of nowhere.  I'm hoping this story ends with "...And then Quimby joined a biker gang"

Sounds sweet. But I would look it up before you sign the dotted line-  just to know what you get into. Former meth houses are a huge deal in some places with lots of lawsuits, laws, claims, health claims, problems reselling or getting insured, etc. May I suggest some piano wire strung at neck height on the driveway, in case former bikers or customers come by to the old place thinking it is still open? But I think it sounds awesome. Good luck.

[GuerrillaUnReal]

Hahaha I've been thinking about that but since I'm kind of a big burly bad ass white guy, I'll probably just wind up selling them weed [as long as one of them has a medical card.]

Dude I'm glad you brought up meth causing health problems. I'm going to mention that to my Realtor and look into that. Like I said, I don't know the first thing about meth or any of those crazy synthetic drugs. To me the house looks clean and looks like the owner was trying to do a quick flip but again meth is out of my realm.

I would think the inspector would of caught it because that dude was like the living version of Hank Hill combined with Bob Villa but I'm going to read up on this.

It is not AS big a deal here but in some places it has become a huge deal (E.Wash and Idaho). I don't want to nix your deal because the place sounds awesome but just to be aware of potential costs beforehand. Here is an old article. As I said I'm not a doctor, real estate agent, or attorney and often 'dangers' are overblown by media and gov't but, then again.

Hmm............................................................

Well that article is goddamn terrifying. Now I'm a little nervous. I was kind of joking around about the meth lab but now I'm not so sure. Finding out it was a biker's house from a local Oregon/Washington gang that gets regularly busted for meth and with this place being a grower's paradise, I have to imagine it would be an awesome place to cook meth too.

The only thing I remotely know about cooking meth is that it leaves black smudges on all the walls but I don't know if that's a myth. I just remember seeing that infrequently when I used to stay at the worst motels across the country.

Um.............

I don't want to ruin your deal but it worth checking out. As I said, it could be overrated threat etc but better to know now, than after. There are companies you can consult or maybe even ways to check yourself? Check out the interwebs. Good luck, hope the deal works. Sounds like a cool place.

A similar quote, from whom I'm not sure, is "Never let people see you arguing with a fool ... people might not be able to tell the difference."
