Would it be wrong to ask for the winning lottery tickets?

I mean, it is not gambling if you know the answer right?!?
I would say that you would be gambling on your future. Risky bet, I would decline this chance as it is not worth the risk.

All this stuff about the personality tests...
Yes. To the being put into a box by them.
I had though for sure I would get a different result on the one I retook, because I'm not the same person I was last time I took it. Sure, maybe some things never change, but if I was someone who really believed in those deals, I'd feel kinda disappointed and set back.
My mom actually had gotten me sucked into a personality typing system- a whole learning course that tells you which of four types you are, then teaches you how to not only be That type, but also how to dress in That type's clothes, how to fix your hair, and what colors are ok to wear. I joined in at first because...let's face it, it's pretty rare for my mom to take an interest in me. So I was all for changing however this test/ typing system said I was supposed to.
It was completely ridiculous and I ended up stopping the whole thing after a couple weeks.

Anyway, I think personality tests are kinda fun, but I can't really wrap my head around sorting human beings into a few select categories; we should be changing and growing all the time.

Your right! Tintin would more than likely give me the wrong numbers...
Those Aussies don't play fair

Forget the test and just be yourself. You are fine exactly the way you are. One thing is for sure, you are very interesting, humorous, and a good mom. You are also an excellent writer and I enjoy reading your posts.

Hello. My name is Arlene. I believe that personality tests are cute ways to try and place people in cookie cutter shapes, but the fact is, I am really complicated. I am a lot of things, and a lot of other things in different situations. I believe it is wonderful how strange and mysterious people can be. There's beauty in that. I'm all up for surprises. So let's leave the letters behind, and I can take the time to unravel the beautiful story that is inside you.

The end.
(Real) personality tests are meant to aid in self discovery, not tell you how to act. While we may 'all' be complicated and a lot of things, it's not hard to deny that humans can still be broken down loosely into types of people with tendencies. Since learning my type i have gained a better understanding of myself, less worry over who i am and why, among other things. Perhaps the problem isn't in the test, but in how you Choose to approach the test. Tests reveal what exists. Perhaps the real issue is that you don't want yourself so easily revealed.
Humanity craves the balance between being unique and fitting in (though few will admit it, how ironic) and helping to learn more about yourself actually helps to serve that purpose to a great good. Anyone who takes a test and tries to behave within the results, well, the outcome is the fault of the taker, not the test.

Hmm... Another very good point. Ugly, you're a fountain of wisdom. :)

I don't know what to do with myself. I'm going to be sorta stuck at someone else's house most of the day. It's a ranch...farm...thing. There's a lot I could do, except it's my ex's family and they kinda all don't like me and they watch me like a hawk when I'm there.

Because, you know, I'm highly likely to tuck a chicken under one arm, a duck under the other, and steal a horse to ride off into the wild blue yonder.

...they caught me within five minutes last time I tried that, I dunno what they're so worried about.

I think that the family is paranoid. Certainly you would have returned the horse. Or maybe set him free to go where he may. Mr. Ed, if he was smart, would have followed you.

Dear brain,

As useless as you are, I wish you would shut up and let me sleep. I'd be forever grateful if you just did that for me. I just don't get you despite having twenty years worth of you functioning my very existence.
Doubts, bring in thoughts that need to be discerned you think

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

So rest in this trust God to take care of you in any and all adversities here in this world, so you can rest Medicine
I call this God-quill, in place of Ny-quill
So rest in this God will take care of you, so decide to trust God all in all, no matter what life appears like here now, stand in faith as like in touched by an Angel, old series show, pretty good to show us to stand in power with God
