Quick hijack... I know the "quote" button is handy, but if someone posts something that's multiple paragraphs long, say more than 5 paragraphs, and you just want to put "Very well stated," can you please snip the quote, instead of quoting the guy's 10 paragraphs right below where he just posted...

The best thing to do with cats is to put them in a small room (bathroom, bedroom, etc) with their things (litter box, etc) and let them explore that one room for a day or so. Once they have explored that, let them explore more space. Just don't throw them into a big new place all at once. Of...

I haven't seen too much anime yet - I'm still working through my Netflix queue - but I liked .Hack/sign, about a MMORPG player who gets trapped bodily in the game.

The internet allows introverts to be extroverted. To introverts, that is a very big thing.

In my state, the united states post office has a moving kit that's free. It contains cards that you fill out to change your address at the post office, as well as moving tips, coupons for money off moving services, and numbers for local utility companies. Make a list of your utility companies...

Has anyone watched this crap on MTV? It's like a bad car accident; I can't look away. These morons (I'd be nice and say they're misinformed, but there's no way in today's world that you could realistically think this, unless you're a moron) think that they can be fifty or more pounds...

You can buy some plastic sheeting to put over your windows, then use a blow dryer to shrink them tight to the window frame. Keeps cold air out and hot air in. I put them on my windows last winter, although the crappy paint my landlords put on the window frames meant the tape wouldn't stick very...

I got $17 a day for being on a jury. Luckily, my employer paid my regular wage also. But they didn't have to do that; I've known people who were called for jury duty, their employer wouldn't pay their wages, they told the judge that, and the judge still made them sit on juries that took more...

I've served on 2 juries. I've been called for jury duty two seperate times; the first time, I never had to show up, because I called the night before as instructed and my number wasn't called. The second time, I showed up, got put on a jury of a trial that lasted a whole 6 hours. After that...

When in an argument with another person, you will have more success in winning them over to your way of seeing things if you use "I" language. In other words... Instead of "You never do the dishes!" Say "I feel I do the dishes more than you do." Instead of "You're cheating on me!" Say...

Have all of the characters be drinking in the same bar, and then everyone in the bar is rounded up in a militia sweep and drafted. Then they all group together to avoid the draft.

I believe the phrase comes from thinking of someone who is older as being in the "winter" of their lives, i.e. December ("Winter"), compared to someone who's only halfway or so through their life being around May or June. Of course, I could be completely blowing smoke from where the sun don't...

If that were me, I wouldn't be there when he got back. But you're not me and you've got your own priorities. He just sounds very selfish - he chooses to be miserable when he can't go - you can make a choice to accept what you cannot change, and just be happy where you are and with whomever...

I see this as very selfish, personally. I'm sorry, but I do. It's a convention. There'll be another one coming up soon, and you may even be able to afford the next one. I would never put a convention above my SO. There's no way I would be "miserable" if I chose to spend time with a SO...

Ahem. Money. Yep. Good movie. I am currently going through the various seasons of "24" via Netflix... I find myself falling asleep quite frequently and then I have to go back and find out what happened, because god forbid those people ever just have lunch and call it a day.

The theme to "Beverly Hills Cop"

There was a song called "Unbelievable" that was popular around 92 when I graduated from high school, it was our senior class theme song if I remember correctly. Can't remember who sang it, but it was a skater-ish bit of a head-banger with a pop twist. Looked around a lyrics site but couldn't...

Ah my dream job :( I looked into travelling back to Greece (lived there 3 years as a child) to teach ESL, but I couldn't scrape up the $2k or so it would cost for the TESL course and first couple of months living expenses. *sigh* I was an English major and am not using my major in the...

I have a 2003 Honda Civic LX. I love my car. I've had it for 2 years (leased it new) and it only has 12,500 miles on it. I haven't been in any accidents (knock on wood), so I can't comment on how well it withstands damage, but I love the safety features and side airbags. For me, it was a...
