I was going to post this, from Forbes: Rebels want freedom to do something their own way.

Questioners" question all expectations; they'll meet an expectation if they think it makes sense and meets their own inner standards — so they follow only inner expectations. This is a link to the quiz. [link] I am a questioner, who leans toward Obliger.

Msbelle, you reinforced my instincts. The bed is in the right spot for me, even if it isn't in the socially approved spot

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

If you like it there, leave it there, sure. I was going to advise moving furniture around just because you can, you can always move it back, but that's me and my novelty seeking.

Maybe make the alcove cozier and more welcoming for entertaining, instead?

Sounds like ltc.

Seconding -t, if you have people willing to help you move furniture, move stuff around and see what works.

I should start wrapping, but I have everything set up in the dining room, and if I go in there, ltc is going to interrupt me every five seconds.

Yes, ltc, my mother, and maybe msbelle's mac. It is anecdotal and not evidence based, but it was helpful tome as a questioner. Because I love to meet expectations, but if the expectations are stupid tome, ai am just like F it! Like, why do I need to make my bed if I am going to unmake it to get in it at night!

The problem with the alcove is that my "central heat" is literally One heat run in my living room/hall and so the alcove is freezing. But I can have Aidan help me move things around, and then back the next week for this years, so I maybe should take advantage.

ltc definitely gets these tendencies from me, but I would just quietly ignore people and not do what they wanted me to. I was not a confrontational child.

I think that is a questioner. Anyway, that is me.

Herding cats for fun

Question for the hive mind: how can I pass my 2012 Kia minivan to a homeless person?

I can adopt my Dad's car, which is appealing because it runs better and uses way less gas. My van has a trade in value of about $250, or maybe $1,000 if I could find an interested buyer. I hated every minute of dealing with people from Craigslist last time I sold my car. It was an awful time consuming nightmare of no shows and weirdos and I don't want to do it again.

Since I'm getting the Camry for a dollar, it feels right to donate my car. It would be more comfortable than sleeping rough. I could donate it to Habitat for Humanity and get a tax write off, but I wonder if a direct donation would be more helpful and charitable.

Any ideas that aren't Craigslist are most welcome.

Ditto.

Sophia, what about putting good-sized cushions and/or throw pillows along the wall on the bed, so your bed becomes more daybed? Of course, if your bed is anything other than twin-sized, that makes for an oddly deep "couch"...and made more sense in my head before I started typing. Never mind, nothing to see here...

EPIC, I recently bought a twin, so that does make sense!
