The Ice Cream Truck Test

You Are Emotional

You are a highly sensitive person, and you can't help but feel more than most people. Your senses are always in tune.
You are very protective of those around you. You hurt when they hurt, and you're happiest when they're happy.

You are sympathetic to anyone who is need or hurting, even if that person has hurt you in the process. You have a great capacity for compassion.


Naturally intuitive, you can sense what those around you are feeling, even if they are strangers. You can't help but tap into feelings.

You tend to be moody at times, but it's only because the emotional world is so amplified for you. It's easy to feel overwhelmed.


If you're a bit touchy, it's not personal. You often need time alone to process everything that is going on emotionally.

Blanket Skin

A full-grown adult has about 20 sq. ft. of skin on their body - about the same square footage as a blanket for a queen-sized bed.

Amazon Filler Item Finder



If you're like me and use Amazon but are too cheap frugal to pay for Prime and get free shipping, you'll like Amazon Filler Item Finder.  From the website:

Certain items at Amazon.com qualify for free shipping, but sometimes the purchase falls short of the minimum $35 needed to receive the free shipping. Enter the amount you need to see a list of products that qualify for free shipping.

According to the creator of this script, the site has been up for 6+ yrs. and mentioned in several other websites. (but I hadn't heard of it before).  It's a brilliant concept and even though I didn't find anything I wanted for the $8.51 worth of items I currently need in my Amazon cart to get free shipping, I bookmarked it and imagine I will use it again in the future for suggestions to bring my total up to $35 to get the free shipping.  I also again might not use any of the suggestions, but it doesn't take but a few seconds and you never know!

What's really ingenious is that each result is basically an "affiliate link" where the site owner makes a small commission on each sale for the referral.  Clever, and I wish I had thought of it. (or at least been smart enough to write the script)
