I've never talked to anyone about this so I'm not sure if its normal, but in my mind I constantly count things. I pair up each letter in a word, two by two, or count the lines on the road as I drive or cracks in a side walk. Usually pairing things up in groups of two. Is this a form of OCD? I do it so often I don't even realize it anymore, but when I do stop and think about it I wonder if it's normal. Anyone who knows me in real life would say I don't have OCD, so I feel silly talking about it. What do you think?

Has anyone ever worked for Petco? If so, what was your experience like? Do you know of anyone who does/once did work there... any feedback?
I start my training on Saturday, but so far I've got some really bad feelings about this job.
Any input would be helpful.
Thank you all.

I asked this in my own journal, but figured maybe someone here would know better than the folks on my f-list...
On a road trip last week, some buddies and I stopped at a Burger King. I got a veggie burger, which cost me twice as much as their real-meat burgers, which were twice as large as mine. I thought for a moment.
I don't know how much you can get for one cow, but I know that livestock in general fetches surprisingly high prices per animal. I guess it can vary a lot based on a lot of factors, but how much can you get for one good cow? It's several hundred bucks, right?
And it goes through at least one more channel before it's on your tray at Mickey D's, so what I don't understand is how cows can be profitable when burgers sell so cheap.
My friend says it's "because they milk it for all it's worth. No pun intended." :) And I'm sure they do, but seriously...how much can you get from one cow? Or pig? Or anything...? I just don't get it.
Anyone care to explain to the curious vegetarian? Thanks.

How much do you donate?
When a friend does a charity run, how much do you donate? Do you have a set amount, or do you decide based on your friendship?
If your friend sends a follow-up email saying she hasn't reached her target, do you donate again?
An old distant friend is doing the AIDS marathon and has fallen $1700 short of her target.

On halloween weekend I attended a costume party. One girl showed up dressed as Flavor Flav (which was actually kind of refreshing because every other girl was a slutty nurse/cop/children's tv show character, while she had all her body parts covered). However, she had chosen to paint her face brown. This struck me as pretty offensive, but some people didn't think it was offensive at all. Do you think this is offensive? To what degree? Why?
ROMANCE QUESTION
Let's say that your SO did something really sweet and romantic for you. It's a perfect moment, a perfect act of love and you feel completely swept off your feet. Then a couple of weeks later, you discover that he did the exact same thing (down to every last detail) for his last girlfriend. Is the gesture still romantic for you or do you become skeptical that it's just another page in his playbook? Thoughts please.
EDIT: For clarification, I'm not talking about his taking you to his favourite restaurant on the lake when it gets serious enough. 'Cause that's cool. It's more like... he comes over unannounced in the morning with flowers. Then he reads you his favourite poem. Then he whisks you away to a beach where he's got a picnic all set up. Then you guys go hoseback riding on the beach, followed by watching the sunset. All this uber romantic stuff which you go bragging to your girlfriends about. Is it still romantic once you find out he's done the EXACT same thing for someone else?
Two ?'s
What do you do with socks that have become "unpaired" for whatever reason (ex losing one in the laundry, stolen, etc)?

Cat and Girl.
I'm looking for a particular cat and girl comic, and I just can't seem to find it in the archives. It's one in which she proclaims that anything you can put behind glass is useless. I think by the end of the strip girl's proclaiming the wonderfulness of a rubbish pile. Maybe. I can't remember. And I can't find it! Anyone know, by chance? It's for an essay I intend to hand in in...7 hours.

Ok, this is for straight guys:

i only need help with one problem now:
Usually, bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reactions occur under basic conditions. The SN2 reaction of 1-butanol by a halide ion is a rare example of a SN2 reaction under acidic conditions. Of course, halide ions were not the only nucleophiles in your reaction medium. Draw the acid-catalyzed SN2 reaction mechanism that depicts the step-by-step formation of the side product dibutyl ether from two molecules of 1-butanol.
any takers?

Questions inspired by the VH1 Big In 06 awards.
1. How do you feel about viewer-decides competitions where the voters are allowed to vote for their faves online as many times as they want to? What do you think would be the best or fairest way to gather votes from people in this type of competition or do you think the way mentioned already is the best? (I've seen controversy over this on the award show messageboard - that there are Katherine McPhee fans allegedly using automation programs to vote for them thousands of times while they're away from the computer)
2. a)Have you or will you be voting in the VH1 Big in 06 awards? I am, mostly because I got sucked into it because Colbert mentioned it on his show, and now I can't help but vote for Colbert, Jon Stewart, and also Steve Carell who happens to be against YouTube (three separate categories). Otherwise I couldn't say I would've ever found out about it.
b)If yes, how much time do you plan to spend voting (one vote, a few votes, 100 votes, much more) and will you be concentrating on certain people/a certain person? I've hardly paid attention to the categories besides the ones the above three are in.

V is for Victory
President Bush quoted in an article in today's New York Times said:
“You know, imagine this; we’re in the middle of a war on terror, and one of the most fundamental fights is in Iraq,” he said. “And yet, the Democrats have no plan for victory. They have no idea how to win. Harsh criticism is not a plan for victory.”

I'm not sure of the best way to phrase this or the most PC way to ask but...
What are black gangs like in England/Australia/Other non-US countries? I can only really picture what I know growing up in the U.S. I can't really picture how they might speak with an English or Aussie accent. Does Ebonics work with a different accent? I looked up the definition of Ebonics which states that it is an American dialect. Do other countries have an equivalent?
Thanks!

What digital camera should I get?
I am a student and don't know much about cameras. I just want one that's easy to use and takes clear pictures. I would like it if the display was big, but I am looking for a small camera. Also not extremely expensive.
Any recommendations?
EDIT: not extremely expensive = less than 200 bucks

I got an e-mail yesterday from the manager of some insurance company that is in the next city over from where I currently am. He claimed that he was forwarded a copy of my resume from someone, and that he's interested in interviewing me.
I'm sort of skeptical about it all. He didn't say who he got my supposed resume from, nor can I think of anyone who would forward my resume to the company. I did post my resume on workoplios and the such, but I would think that the manager would say he got it off the site.
I'm sort of looking for a job, as I'm graduating in April 2007.
Should I call the company and ask if the e-mail was legit? Should I just reply to the e-mail and see what is going on?

I want to make some presents for some friends using some iron-on transfers. Has anyone used the ones that you print out on your computer? How much wear and tear can they take before the design comes off? Would there be any other methods where I can create my own design and have it take more abuse?

Does anyone have the Natalie Dee "You Make Me Want to Let You Insert It" comic?
I think it was from Valentine's Day 2003-ish, and I searched her archives/google to no avail.
Feel free to let me know what an idiot I am if you find it in .2 seconds though.
Please and thank you.

So I'm going through a stack of clippings from the local paper. I cut out donation requests from some area organizations to see if I could help.
One request struck me as somewhat... different, I guess. It was for a rape care program. The request was for plain t-shirts, sweat shirts, and cotton shorts (not odd). The clothing requested was also to be plain in color (also, not odd), "mostly larger sizes" (not really odd, I guess, right?)... and new. The request stated that everything HAD to be new.
Don't get me wrong -- I wouldn't be handing over any stained, bleached, threadbare or otherwise raggedly clothing. But what's wrong w/ accepting some gently used plain-on-color clothing? Is there something about rape crisis centers that dictate any clothing must be new?

1. Have you or anyone you know changed their eating habits to gluten-free and/or sugar-free? (for weight loss or healthier living rather than for Celiac's disease or something)
2. Was it successful or too hard to stick with?
3. Where can I find good gluten-free and sugar-free recipes?

1. I had 2 males today shake my hand when I met them. I'm a 22-year-old female. These were very casual, friendly non-professional meetings from males in the typical college-age bracket (think maybe 19-23 or so). If you're around my age, do you often have people greet you with a handshake in non-professional enviroments?
2. Any of you signed up with promosquad.com? If so, have you "earned" any prizes yet? Did you have any problems getting them after you had ordered?
3. Is it best to stick with a job that you're used to and are pretty decent at even though it slowly kills portions of your soul? Or should I be lookin' for another job... even though the job market in my town sucks?

Dell Question
Hey.
I got a Dell Inspiron E1505, and I love it.
My problem:
When I look at LJ, icons that are supposed to be animated are not.
At first they were moving, but after a little they weren't.
I can't, for the life of me, figure out why.
Do you know what is wrong with my computer?
It is brand new (got it late August for college), and it is very pretty.
How can I fix this? I wanna look at pretty icons/understand some peoples icons.
I know it's not a big deal, it just pisses me off.
Another computer question.
On my laptop, where my left arm/palm rests, the laquer (or finish, or whatever it's called) is kind of wearing away. It's getting a little rough, and weird felling. That's also happening on the left scroll button where I press down.
Why?
Has this happened to you?
I try to make sure my hands are dry/don't touch that area, but it's weirding me out.
The right side is fine, because I'm a lefty and use my left hand for everything.
TIA.

Okay, I just want to know everyone's view on this, and I'm thinking I'll get a lot of replies because it seems like quite a controversial subject.
A guy in class today told me that the government made the AIDS virus and they have a cure for it but won't give it out.
Is this true?
Do you believe it?
Why would the government do this?
If they have a cure, why won't they make more of it and give it out?
There are probably more questions to go along with this but I can't think of any more at the moment.
I don't think I believe any of it.
Feel free to post your opinions...

What are some tried and true methods for getting rid of mice?
My apartment is rather old and there are a lot of gaps and spaces betwen walls and stuff. We've got a bunch of traps set up in all of the places we've seen them and have steel wool in the gap by the pipes under the sink. And yes, we are trying to keep our kitchen as clean as possible and keeping garbage cleaned up and off the floor and all of that, but they've been running throughout the building, so I have a feeling they'll come in no matter what we do.
What are some other ideas you can give me for mice-proofing our home?
And why do you think the mice only come into our apartment on Wednesday's? We found the first evidence of them on a Wednesday morning, caught the first one on a Wednesday morning and the second one on a Wednesday night.

Fashionistas...I need you...
Body parts
My thighs are very flabby.
I recently lost 31 pounds (over a period of a year or so, not all at once.)
I went from being 5 foot 7 inches and 164 pounds to being 133 pounds.
My thighs still look hidious (I tend to store fat there, and I rarely exercize them).
But luckily enough, in a few days I will have access to a gym.
I'm not big on exercizing with things that don't involve machines (like workout videos/sessions) because I have a disorder and my coordination isn't too good, same with my motor skills.
Any ideas on what gym machines would help me work out my thighs (besides the treadmill?) ?

Dress me.
I'm a straight male, and I fall into the general stereotype (I think) of "I don't know how to dress myself." I'm 24, in grad school. Oh, and I'm also sort of skinny - try 6', 140 lbs. I'm not rich (see above: grad school).
Anyways, I'm looking for any tips you might have for looking decent and not paying OUTRAGEOUS prices for it. (Like the stuff you see in most men's magazines? Way too expensive.) Something I can go to the mall and get.
I'm generally a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy, but I figure it's about time to grow out of that. It's winter here in Canada and I wear hoodies almost exclusively.
Both genders are more than welcome to chime in.
Help.
