My name's Rose, and I always hear:
"A rose by any other name..."
"A rose is a rose is rose"
At work, whenever I take a message from someone with the last name "Robinson", I always start singing "Mrs. Robinson". Or when I processed a check from someone named "Anderson", I said "MR. ANDERSON" in my Agent Smith voice. I'm sure that gets really old to people with those last names :-P
Search Engines
Is it your search engine of choice? Why or why not, and if your answer is No, then which to you prefer and why?
Do you ever feel like smacking someone just for asking a question that could so easily be answered by means of a search engine? They're at a computer already! (This question/comment doesn't relate solely to this community.)

I'm attempting to dye my own hair!
I washed my hair yesterday morning (32 hours ago).
Would it be ok to dye my hair now, or should I wait till tomorrow?
Thanks everyone, I did it and it worked really well. :)

2. I got a $50 American Express gift card from someone for Christmas. What should I use it on? I'm thinking a massage but I can't decide for sure. I'm not big on buying clothes. I'd rather buy an experience than something material. Any other ideas?

My father told me that if I wanted to get into contact with my 'roots', so to speak, he'd cook me gefilte fish. My mother was all 'don't let him! it's disgusting!'. So: what does gefilte taste like? Would you recommend that I try it? Or should I just by some Matzi or some Brisket (is that how you spell it?) and be content with that?

question
Citation question:
( Collapse )
My questions:
1. Anything you think I need to add to the citation?
2. I'm currently using the date it was published online, should I be using the date it was first published?
3. How should I footnote it the next time I refer to it? I was thinking: "Sudan Reconstruction and Stabalization" P xx Sound good?
Thanks in advance. I hate figuring out citations and this proffesor can be pretty picky.

Personal or cheap?
If someone were to give you something of a similar nature would you think it was a nice personal thoughtful (all of these ae going to be scented with the individual in mind and according to skin type (dry, oily, etc..)) type of gift, or, the type of gift a cheap type person would give out? Again, as i have no money, all labels will be handmade and only tags instead of cards are going to be used(except for my mum and dad).
I personally like gifts i know people put thought into but what do you think?
*Edit* General consensus states - personal is good. Which is good because that is what is going to happen :P
Sharing MP3s
Edit: I'd prefer to be able to upload it somewhere and let them download it.

My face is pale white combined with red and blotchy areas, but they aren't zits. They're just red spots that get redder if I'm too cold or too hot. I have sunken-in eye syndrome with deep gray bags under my eyes all the time. The skin is always really dry and flaky on my cheeks, chin, and forehead. It's really oily on my nose.
I've tried using "combination skin" products and products for dry skin only, but they don't help much. The dry skin extra-moisturizing products cause pimples AND dry flakes later on. The combo skin products don't do anything for the dry skin and flaky areas although they work OK for the oily parts. My skin just starts flaking off again after a while too. I've tried peel off masks and exfoliating the flaky parts. I've tried leaving it alone and only washing with water and not putting on any kind of toner or moisturizer. Nothing seems to solve the problems... and it makes me look like a leper when I go out in public because my face looks like it belongs to an old lady and a zitty teenager at once.
So the question is what should I be using to a) even out the skin tone and get rid of the red blotchiness (it's not the same thing as rosacea) b) stop the dry flakes from appearing so often c) get rid of the eye bags?

EDIT: Now, you people say that it's because lj had problems last week. But I got all those comments last week too - so I have the same e-mails in my inbox, sent to me at the day they were posted and a newer one with no change. THIS is what I'm wondering about - why 2 times. It's not a big problem, I was just wondering. No need for you to get pissed.

What if it's something non-offensive and in a place that can be easily covered up?
edit: I should elaborate more.
I want a tattoo, but I still live at home. My dad has a major problem with me getting one because he thinks it is "trashy." When he was growing up, I guess that's the way that most people saw it, but that's not how things are anymore. I want to see how many people still think that way.

Based on a true story!
You are going to a concert with your best friend and your significant other. You have also managed to get backstage passes. The catch- you could only get 2 passes, so only one person will be able to go backstage with you.
This is for a *major* band which both of them have been fans of for years.
What do you do, oh WHAT DO YOU DO??
Are there any special factors to consider, such as the length of dating time vs. friendship time?

Mold in the work place
Quick help please, I need to make a decision!
I am going to KY to visit my best friend. The return flight will be from KY to FL. If I take the day flight I have to leave at the ass crack of dawn, but fly during light hours and change planes in Cleveland. If I take the night flight I get a whole extra day with her, but fly in the dark and change planes in Detroit. What's safer?
Disclaimer: I know it's all chance and no one can say for sure that such and such will be safer...I am just looking for opinions and maybe if anyone knows any type of statistics or info on flying at night vs. flying in the morning. I'm paranoid, what can I say!
Thanks everyone, made my decision.

x-mas gift idea for boy.
does anyone have any ideas for a christmas gift for a mildly metrosexual boyfriend (straight though), 25 years old, he likes very classic things (though I'm not sure what that is exactly - like a nice letter). He wanted a nice letter opener, but I havent found a nice one. I would like to spend under $30.
Any ideas?

Heating + pets
How warm do I need to keep my house for my indoor cats?
We're trying to avoid huge gas bills by keeping our heater off during the week. We only turn it on during the weekend, when we're home a lot. We work during the day; I'm comfortable at night once I get in bed and under the covers, but the just hanging around the house in the evening, it gets pretty chilly. I'd estimate that our house stays about 20 degrees above the temperature outside. Right now it's 37 outside and 57 inside of our house. It's warmer during the day, so obviously the coolest times are evenings and early morning.
I always thought that cats could regulate their own temperatures pretty well, what with them having fur coats and all, but now that I think about it I'm worried about making them uncomfortable or sick. I live in Atlanta, so it doesn't get much colder than it is right now for the most part. Our last residence was an apartment with free steam heat, so we didn't have to deal with this issue. Anyone have any experience with this?

very random request
joys of personal questions!
Has your aereolas/nipples taken over your boobs?
If so, do you feel less sexy because of it?
and if you guys want to answer
Do you find a woman less sexy if she has large aereolas/nipples?
My answer? Yes and Yes. Pregnancy has did an entire 360 on my aereolas/nipples. They are HUGE. I swear it's like they have ate my breasts.

2. Throughout your school career, have there been teachers who have been special to you? What made them special? Were they generally liked by other students? Do you keep in contact with any of your old teachers?
3. Who is the hardest person to buy presents for?
4. Do you set a limit on how much money you spend on Christmas? Is it set per person or is a lump sum you won't go over? Do you feel more special when you know someone spent more money on you?

Along the same lines, does anyone ever have pain in their legs, but not the muscles? When I have it, it almost seems like the bones are aching. For the lack of a better reason, I think the pain might be caused by running on concrete surfaces (I tend to jog down the streets), or at least that's what my couch suggested.
Usually it hurts from the knee down, and not the front of the legs, but to the side a bit. Ever experienced that? I would love to know the cause.
promise rings
edit:
my boyfriends parents suck. they dont support our relationship at all and they hate me because I am not filipino. My boyfriends mother pays for his education. She would shit a ton of bricks if she found out we were engaged before he finished his education. I know there is no difference between this promise ring and a long engagement. we kind of just had to compromise and get the promise rings so that his mom wouldnt freak out. its better than nothing, imo.
My questions:
What do you think about promise rings for Pre engagement? Do you think that its a common thing for a couple to do or is it weird?
I think that a ring and what it stands for is a wonderful thing to exchange and experience with someone you love. I dont know if its common.
What do you think about promise rings for a celibacy pledge?
I think its a lame purpose for a ring. I think sex is an important part in a relationship and there is no way I would give that up lol!
How long would you have to date someone before you would marry them?
prob a few years. I guess it depends on where you are in life...
will you please show me your rings/share your stories?
