If you smoke, which hand do you hold the cigarette/joint with? is it the same hand you write with?

I realised just how crappy my left hand is. I held my cigarette with my left hand and was like "holy shit, i'm going to miss and poke myself in the eye"

also, is tobacco under one of the classifications that other drugs are under? ie, a suppressant etc?

My husband and I went to see "Letters From Iwo Jima" and there were three jackasses that were singing, laughing, and talking loudly through the whole movie.

1. Don't you think this was an odd movie choice to choose to be a jackass in? Norbit I can see, but a subtitled, limited release war movie?

My husband ending up shouting obscenities at them before leaving the theatre and complaining to management. Others in the theater had shushed and yelled "SHUT UP!" at them.

2. What do you do when people act up in theaters? Do you shush them, tell them to "STFU", throw things, complain, leave, or all of the above?

3. What are some of your stories of theatre jackassery?

4. Have you committed theatre jackassery? (And may I slap you?)

My brother is getting married Saturday, and I don't have a gift yet. My parents, sister and grandmother are each giving money, which I think is a bit tacky, since he makes almost 6 figures and she's doing pretty good herself. No one in the family knows if they're registered anywhere, nor really know what 'registered' means, being utterly lacking in wedding knowledge. I guess I could call him and ask, but I don't want to get in the way, since no doubt they have a lot on their plate these days.

I figured to spend around $200. What's a good wedding gift?

So I bought sims 2 last night, and installed it into my delightfully new computer which happens use Vista ( Poo ), I know that it works on XP because my former copy of sims 2 ( MIA ) worked just fine.

My issue is... I can't get my Sims to move into a house, any house, at all. I followed the instructions but the price doesn't show up above the house, or anything. It no letty me clicky..  It's also a laptop, if that has anything to do with it, but the laptop is twice as powerful as my old machine.

Sooo

1.  Has anyone else ever had a problem like this with the Sims?  How did you fix it? 

2. Who else out there has a Vista machine, is it a laptop or a desktop? ( Probably already been asked a million times )

3.  What color is your stapler?

 

1. No.. no issues
2. Laptop
3. Black, it's a Swingline

I don't want to be a teacher, but I'm not sure exactly what I want to do. I've been a bookseller for 2 1/2 years, as well as a Writing Center tutor, a Course Tutor (like a TA, but specifically for writing), and an RA. I plan on living in the Greater Atlanta area. I'm not particularly picky about having something directly related to the English field, but at the same time, I don't want to just be a receptionist. Any ideas for careers/jobs to look at?

What, if anything, do you say to someone who only has one thing they want to do with their life and assume it WILL work out, but in reality they have very little chance of actually acheiving this goal.

background: i have a friend who plays guitar. all he wants to do with his life is be a rock star. he has no back-up plan and just continues thinking that he WILL make it big. the problem is that he isn't as awesome as he thinks he is. he says he has unparalleled skill in this and that (yes... he thinks he's better than clapton and other greats), but is really quite mediocre. he's in his twenties.
i feel bad for him as it seems like he'll wind up being a fat 40 year old man playing in some dodgey function hall or something being paid a pittance.

do you have anyone similar?

My Internet is being screwy (damn you dial up!) and won’t load Ticketek.com.au so I cannot check for myself.

Never mind. I rang the number that was stated as being 'not for general enquiries' which was in fact the only number they had on the site and was told it was also their general enquiries line. Anyway- there is no limit for my state. woo!

I'm employed but am actively seeking another job. This last Friday, 2/16, I emailed my cover letter and resume to a company. How soon can I send a followup email? I hear that it's an excellent idea to do a followup but I don't want my followup to get lost in the resume shuffle, if it's too soon, or tossed out because it's too late.

So, is today too soon? Is a full week best even though it would be on another Friday and then may get "lost" over the weekend? Should I wait until next Monday?

say you're a 19-year old female in a dorm apartment, and instead of having one room to share with a roommate, there are four singles, 2 bathrooms, a living room, and a KITCHEN. Add that everyone in the apartment is territorial about their food, with the exception of condiments, etc.......
Problem is, you are out of food, and you are relying on your meal dollars to spend on meals/fast food on campus, and you don't want to rely on THAT much fast food on a daily basis. And, you have no more than 30 dollars in cash to spend on food. Also, you don't really know much about cooking, except making things like eggs or pasta... you need to buy some cheap food (including some healthy stuff, since you don't want to gain any weight this semester on fast food and the ever-so-unhealthy cafeteria...).

sorry, but im sortof ranting here... but the question basically is, you have 30 dollars to spend on food, somewhat healthy food, and cheap food, what do you buy? (and im not a dieting nazi.. i mean like a pizza and a carton of ice cream every here and there...)

Whether they pick a name for themselves or one get assigned to them, only other one I can think of offhand was the Son of Sam, the name usually is one to make a person uneasy or panicked.

If I ever become a serial killer...I'm going to be the Fluffy Bunny Killer!

So, if you had to pick a serial killer name for yourself what would it be?

So Groundhog Day was the other week. Our local groundhog did NOT see his shadow, therefor forecasting an early spring. Sure enough, after being in the 20's all last week, this week it's been in the 70's.

Did your local groundhog predict 6 more weeks of winter or an early spring? Was he right?

i have a pair of white chuck taylors. they have neon pink soles, neon pink laces, and have pink satin (or something) on the inside. they are canvas. i bought them in april 2004.

when i bought them, i was told that i can't throw them in the washing machine like regular chucks because the pink dye from the inside will run and ruin the white.

well, they're dirty, and i'd like to clean them. what's the best way to go about this without disturbing the pink? what's a good cleaner to use on the canvas? what's a good cleaner to use on the rubber? what should i use to scrub the shoes with?

This has kind of been bugging me for a while now, so I figured I'd ask here.
Guys...can you "crack" your penis?
If you've never tried, give it a go. Just don't try to hard.
Girls, do you know of any guys who can (or have you ever cracked a guy's penis)?

I've only talked to two other guys who can, one of whom only found out after we told him about it.
Is this question simply too wierd?

Edit: To clarify, by "cracking" the penis, I mean pushing/pulling/twisting it in some way to produce a satisfying cracking sound, much as you would crack your fingers. The quotation marks are there because I'm fairly certain they're not the same thing. There's no bone in the penis.

[natticus420]
did you ever go to court?
describe every detail! 

like what was it for, were you the defendant or the claimant? did you win or lose? what were you there for, what was it like, how long did it take for you to get the settlement?

heres my story

my tenant gave me her notice that she was moving at the end of the month but she  moved out  before and didn't tell me, she lived in a house i had for rent, she unhooked the power without telling me ( she was paying her own power thats why I was never contacted when she did that) and there wasn't any power for a few days until i found out, so theres about $3000 of damange because the pipes blew and froze up because of the cold weather. she also stole the washer and dryer which she is saying is hers! and I dont ahve a receipt for it because it was given to me with the house in in heritance so I dunno how thats gonna go, Im not even sure where she moved, I called the cops but they said that when they tried calling her there was no answer and they went to her new appt and no one answered the door so they  couldn't do much more about it and  that I would have to take her to court. I also had to pay an emergency call out for the power to get rehooked. she hasn't given me the keys to the house yet and her reason was that she has till the 28th, which is technically true, but she doesn't want to pay the power anymore and etc. so she's a lying thief. i tried calling her for the last few days but she makes her bf answer and he makes up a story that i have the wrong # and the last time i called they said if i called again they would press charges for harasment, i dont think they can do that, because i wasn't really harassing them i never had a real conversation with them yet! but I dont want to push my luck.

so does anyone have any tips or suggestion on what I should do? everything I am sayign is true, so I dont have to lie in court but theirs still some things I'm unsure of on how much i can actually  sue her for, like i'm thinking of sueing her for the hassle of going around and getting documents, and filing reports and missing work but I dont know how to go about proving that she owes me that time and etc.

All superheroes that can fly wear green or have a cape. When I say fly, I mean the actual power of flight. Human Torch supposedly heats up the air around him, which causes him to raise up. Storm doesn't fly, she just uses the power of wind to push herself. A few super heroes that can actually fly are Superman, Rogue, Ms. Marvel, and Thor.

Do you think my theory is correct?

I don't use an alarm clock. I have a clock but it faces away from me because if I stare at it while I try to sleep I can never get to sleep. The thing is I can wake up whenever I need to be up. If my mother tells me we need to be somewhere at 10 am, I am up at 9:30. The same goes for any other time. How am I able to do this? I don't believe it's my body getting used to waking up at the same time each day because I can do it for any time.

Toilet-training for cats? [Feb. 21st, 2007|10:01 pm]
The Question Club

[silvernixy]
We put our cat's litter box in the bathtub (we don't use it for bathing anymore), because it's less messy to clean than if it were just on the bathroom floor. However, my cat has taken to doing his business in the bathtub rather than the litterbox inside it, much to the dismay of Dad....

My cat never used to do it, but recently he's been doing it more and more frequently. Has he simply gone into bad habits, or would there be a reason why he refuses to use the litterbox? (Note: we keep it fastidiously clean, because my cat wouldn't use it at ALL otherwise. XD)

What is your favorite non-alcoholic beverage (other than water)?

Mine is definitely Diet Sunkist. Other than water, it's pretty much all I drink. And during the summer I like UNSWEETENED iced tea with lemon or lime.

Portable Video Player Advice [Feb. 21st, 2007|10:07 pm]

OK,

My parents want to get me something nice for Xmas and my birthday, but my GF got me my first choice (A Nintendo Wii) and I haven't been able to come up with a good idea. Recently I realized what I would like, but I'm finding information scarse on the subject. I want a portable video/MP3 player, with a screen about the size of the Zune's, that plays open standards.

So far, many players fit the bill, except for one feature I absolutly must have.

I need to be able to drag and drop 350mb hour long episodes of TV shows in Xvid format to the player, and play them, with no conversion necessary.

I have what most would consider a very slow computer, but it does everything I want it to, and I have no intention of upgrading anytime soon. I cannot stand having to wait for something to convert to a new format (usually takes an hour or more on this system).

So, my requirements:

Screen 2-3 inches in widescreen format
30gb+ hard drive space
Divx/Xvid compatable
Ability to play standard torrent TV episode downloads without external conversion
Around $300-$400

Not Required, but would be a bonus:

TV output
Wi-Fi connection
GPS uprgadablity

I like wahat I've seen so far from the Archos players, but I don't want to buy until I know if they'll do what I want. Any knowledge or personal experience is greatly appreciated.

x posted to ask_me_anything last night...

my nero startsmart came with my computer. i don't have a nero rom option or whatever. it always worked until i went to burn some dvd files and the "burn dvd" option was gone. there's "copy dvd" and "make data dvd" but no "burn dvd" option. it literally just disappeared and i didn't do anything to make it fuck up.

1) where the hell did it go?! i can't find a way to get it back as i don't know how the hell it disappeared in the first place.
2) what (free) dvd burning program can i download in the meantime? what's the best one?

More mother than thou? [Feb. 21st, 2007|10:59 pm]

Piggybacking on a recent post...

Do you think women who have babies and breastfeed them are more of a mother/better mothers than women who feed formula? Don't scoff - this is actually the thought process around some parts.

Edited to add:
Do you think women who have their babies at home instead of at a hospital are ultimately making better choices for their children (ie, better mothers)?
Do you think women who make the food for their babies are ultimately more attentive (ie, better mothers)?

LJ Moms, come on out. You know it had to happen.

Ok, there is this dry patch of skin on the top right side of my forehead. I have used moisturiser for over 2 months, but it never helps. It's still dry, sometimes it's itchy, and I really hope it clears soon. Anyone experienced this before? Any remedies? :<

I have lots of little brown dots, or patches on my face from past acne. Anything I can do to get rid of them? or have them fade away?

OK, um. I'm trying to upload a video onto Photobucket, but it won't accept the extension. Here's the message:

The file "VTS_01_1.VOB" does not have a valid video extension. Valid video extensions are: 3g2, 3gp, 3gp2, 3gpp, 3p, asf, avi, divx, divx, dv, dvx, flv, gif, moov, mov, mp4, mpeg4, mpg4, mpe, mpeg, mpg, qt, swf, wmv, xvid, rm.

I'm on my sister's computer, so I don't know how to do . . . anything. How can I reformat the video so Photobucket will take it? It's a Mac OS X, version 10.4.8.

So last night someone stole one of my windshield wiper blades from my car. Not both, just one. Now I ask you, what could a person do with just one windshield wiper blade?
All I can think of is hitting stuff with it, it's just so strange.

Also, what is your favorite book? Comic book? Manga?
A book of Edgar Allen poe my grandfather gave me. I don't have a favorite comic book. Claymore, or Chobits.
