1) I want to wallpaper lots of pages from a book (glossy paper) on to a painted wall. What's the cleverest way to stick it on?
2) Do you ever laugh in public when a really funny thought pops in to your mind? smirk?

dreams
i had a brief, but very vivid and rather random dream last night. for some reason it's been on my mind all day long and i'm starting to change my feelings towards an old friend based on how he acted in my dream, which i know is ridiculous seeing as it wasn't real. (holy run on sentence)!
anyway, i want to know what the hell it means. i've checked out some dream interpretation sites, but they all pretty much sucked. is anyone here into dream analysis? do you know of any good sites or things i should check out that might be able to help me..or better yet..can YOU help me? i'm going crazy over this.

Smoke Alarms
I know how these things are supposed to work (obviously), but owing to a kitchen accident a few minutes ago (melting chocolate) I thought of something.
Is it the actual presence of smoke that these alarms are supposed to alert us to, or is it the heat of the smoke?
I'm curious because the chocolate smoked about a medium amount and no alarm. O_o Which is good, I suppose, though it did raise the question in my mind.

I'm bored. Therefore:
1. What would happen if you gave insulin, intravenously, to an individual who was not diabetic?
I ask because once a long time ago when I lived in the Middle East with my mom, she was admitted into hospital for high blood pressure, and the staff hooked her up to an IV drop thing filled with insulin and kept her for observation. When we found out it was insulin, we figured someone was trying to kill her and my friends and I busted her out of there quick. This is not so unlikely or bizarre when you remember the Middle East's respect for little things like international human rights and freedom of religious worship and whatnot. My mom was likely a target because she kept helping out Arab Christian converts and stuff that is generally not good for your longevity in that part of the world.
It makes for a great story. Plus proves that my mom is totally awesome. Tiny, but awesome (she's four foot ten). Fortunately she lives up in Washington state now, where she only has to worry about bears, lions and her Subaru falling off the mountain on the way to church.
2. While we're on this wonderful topic brought to you by boredom, sleep deprivation and office broadband, has anyone ever tried to deliberately kill you? Why?

Ugh, a computer question!

(Quite) A few posts back someone had a green "Boondock Saints" icon and they were wearing Leprechaun hats. I was wondering if anyone knew the origin of that icon? I've searched back through the memories until almost a month ago.
And a completely unrelated question: are hygienic hippies ok (meaning, in your opinion, are they a good kind of people)?

I just had a dream where my house caught on fire. :(
What would you grab if your residence went up in flames?
Has this ever happened to you?
I really want to get one of those flame resistant lock boxes now. I hate dreams like that.
Anyway, I would grab my sons photo albums and his baby book. As well as my purse. (containing my wallet, cell phone, ipod.. the important stuff haha) Depending on how much time I had, my computer too. Omg thats such a scary thought. Ive never been involved in a fire.

Computers
1. Did your school growing up have macs or PCs in the computer lab?
2. What sort of computer do you use at home?
3. Was there any sort of advertising at your school? For instance BP donated computers to my school district (or maybe they just donated money to the state) and so we had their logo hanging in our computer lab.
EDIT: So what's this Channel One thing, guys?

Help me TQC.
There used to be a cartoon show on Nickelodeon (I think) about a young boy whose dad was obsessed with cheese. In one episode the boy and his dad go to the supermarket and the dad proclaims "and we'll get some cheese!” I think they also have a small brown dog, but I could be wrong. Long story short- they are at the supermarket and the boy spies a young girl he likes, in the end the dad embarrasses him by doing something involving cheese and creating a scene in public (i.e. falling over and knocking a display over in the process..you dirty minded individuals) Anyone know? My brother and I are going crazy trying to think of it, we've been saying "camembert" in the dad’s voice all morning and I must know.

Great News, Everyone!
Book it! is the reason you're fat.
Did your schools do Book it! when you were younger? Are you fat now?
Do you agree that Book it! promotes obesity by telling kids that they should only read with rewards in mind, and personal pan pizzas are the best reqard?
Did your school use a different reading incentive program like accelerated reader or other things I don't know about? Did you get rewards for reading books?

Karen and Rachel are two American-born-and-raised women. They are not related, and they have never met, but they are both the same age and are so similar in appearance that they could pass for twins. Karen has spent significant amounts of time living in Europe, Africa, Asia and South America. Rachel has lived in Sioux Falls, South Dakota her entire life. Based on this information alone, which woman would you prefer to have lunch with?
Karen

Need a bit of help
I'm writing a story where one of my characters has multiple personalities. I already know enough about treatment, causes, etc but I need a bit of help with something that's more difficult to find information on.
How often does someone with DID typically lose control and switch to another personality? Are there certain triggers (like extreme anger, or just seeing something on TV that triggers them) or is it totally random? Are there certain signs (like violent headaches as an example) that someone is about to lose control or does it just happen without any warning?
I'm trying to be as accurate as I can with this, partially for the sake of having accurate characters but also out of respect for people who have DID. I don't want to glamourise it at all, because I've seen that done with things I suffer with and it's not nice, so anything you can give me would be awesome.

But I feel like I could be missing out on something even better. So, take a look at this online menu. What would you order from there? Do you think I should order that?
2. When you eat out, do you usually get the same thing or mix it up?
3. Are there any restaurants that you're a regular at?

I'm getting thoroughly frustrated with the internet. I usually store some of my MP3 files and background images for myspace layouts on my school FTP server, but it's lame and down for a little while. I need a place that allows direct linking. I've signed up for tripod, 100webspace, and box.net and none of these are working out. Seriously, all I want is to make my mp3 player automatically start playing blahblahblah.mp3. Do you know of any normal file hosting sites that will let me do this?

work-at-home NON SCAMS
Okay so sorta in relation to the last post, which was most definitly a scam, does anyone know of any legitimate work at home programs? the only one that i know of, i used to do a few years ago when i was between jobs, it was basically answering infomercial phone calls at home , and entering their order information into forms on your computer (scary to think when you call and order something from off tv, you are giving your cc info to someone sitting at home, so don't ever order anything from off tv!). it wasnt something to get rich doing, but it did pay $0.25/min, which was $15/hr during busy times (during the middle of the night, mostly). anyway i was just curious since it seems like 99.99999% of work at home things are scams.

yes, I posted in ipod support, but no response.....
so here goes.....
My wife has an Ipod mini, approximately 2 years old. I recently got an Ipod Shuffle - when I went to download songs to the shuffle I got a message that I must upgrade to the latest version of itunes. We have heard that updating when you use the older mini's causes problems...... is this true? Any advice for upgrading on an older ipod??

This is ridiculous, but I need advice.
I live in a 2 bedroom apartment, the main bedroom being where I sleep, the 2nd bedroom being where I have my 'creating area', where I do tons of crafty things, including jewelry making. There is also a bed in there for guests. Last time I had company over, 2 of them decided they wanted to fuck. In the bed. Nasty, leaky, bloody, smelly sex, in that bed. I accidentally walked in on them, and they left such a disgusting mess, and didn't offer to clean any of it, we don't even SPEAK to them anymore, because they blatantly disrespected my house, me, my fiancee, and my daughter. Not just because they left their sex juices all over the place, they locked themselves in there the entire weekend, among other things. I'm all about fucking, having sex, intercourse, whatever. But if you are going to do it in someone else's house, keep it clean, and if you don't, clean it up. Now, I can't even bring myself to go into that room. I have no idea why. It's totally unlike me, I'm not a prude of any sorts, it just makes me disgusted for some reason. This is totally out of character for me. What the hell can I do to get past this?????
What is the last thing that disgusted you?
What is the last thing you ended a friendship over?
ETA: Meaning to get past it so I can be in that room comfortably again. Also, there is no other place in my house I can have my 'area' set up.

1. My first question has to do with my computer. I have a Sony Vaio that is about a year old, and it is usually super fast. I NEVER had any problem watching DVD's, movies, etc, until about a month ago. Now whenever I try to listen to music or ANYTHING, it chokes up. It will play, but it sounds like it's literally choking... I don't have a virus, don't have adware... maybe I accidentally deleted something? Is there some sort of diagostic program I can use to seek out a problem?

1. I have this mailbox in silver. It's getting rusted on top so it needs to be painted. What should I paint on it? Keep in mind I have very little artistic ability. I think I might go with polka dots.
2. I know I've posted in here about the ongoing shitty job my carrier does, but that was quite some time ago. Well yesterday we did not get one piece of our own mail, we got all of our neighbor's mail. Today we got 2 pieces of our own mail but they were just junk, and we got 3 of 4 things for some people with the same house number on a nearby street. Now I have had enough of this, but my father is convinced that if we complain about it that it will get even worse. He also claims that people around here have definitely already complained, and that they won't do a thing if we complain. I don't understand him, surely this affects both of us. He gets way more mail with personal info in it than me, so I would think he would really want to do something about it. What would you do? If you've complained about your mail carrier, what was the outcome?
I was just going to fill out the thing on the USPS website for now and see what happens. I told him and he was like "Fine, I hope you don't want us to get our own mail ever again." so I didn't fill it out. I would call or go to the post office but the people who work there speak very broken english making it hard for me to understand them, plus there is always a huge line. I really avoid going to that post office at all costs.

I told him and he was like "Fine, I hope you don't want us to get our own mail ever again." so I didn't fill it out. I would call or go to the post office but the people who work there speak very broken english making it hard for me to understand them, plus there is always a huge line. I really avoid going to that post office at all costs.

I've spent the last 2 days looking for my flash drive. I've literally torn up my room looking for it. I found it inside one of my slippers.

This may be a dumb question, but Google has run dry, and I've run out of people to ask, so...
I just got a new computer, and in installing the Sims 2 and the expansion packs I have to it, I found that I seem to be missing Disc 1 of the Night Life expansion pack. I've looked everywhere with no luck. I'd really like not to have to buy it again, so does anyone know of a place where I can download the Night Life expansion pack (or at least disc 1 of it) for free? I still have the manual with the little numbers on the back so it's not technically stealing... I hope...
Thanks in advance!

Best Skype Phone? Huge Jigsaws?
Ok, so I want a Wi-Fi capable cellphone. I'm tired of paying $150/month for cellular service, and I know there are cellphones out there with Skype built in.
1. Have you ever tried or owned a Skype phone?
2. Is wi-fi reliable enough to use for everyday calling?
I'm particularly looking at buying the Belkin Skype phone for $150 at my local CompUSA. Is that a good deal?
----AND----
I want to order a CUSTOM jigsaw puzzle. Any places you can get HUGE jigsaw puzzles made to order? I'm talking something like 4'x4' ....yes, feet.

My boy has the Logitech MX revolution wireless mouse and he had to buy another cause he broke the first one. All he broke was the lil USB piece though, does anyone know if there is a way to replace that piece? {Yea, I want it}
What do you do?
Imagine the following chain of events:
You are at a pub with a friend, having a beer. When you get ready to leave, a group of guys starts talking to you both so you end up staying because your friend seems to be having fun. The guys offer to buy drinks. You are driving so you have no other drinks but your friend does. You end up talking to one of the guys. He seems pretty insecure (calls himself stupid, actually says that he has a small member O_o, etc.), but he's fairly nice. He shares something about one of his friends that should not be shared with girls you've just met. He also talks about tennis. You've never played. He suggests getting together to play sometime. At the end of the night he asks for your phone number. You've told him that you have a boyfriend (you really do have a boyfriend, who lives in another state), but tell him that if he wants to play tennis or something platonic that it would be fine. You are certain NOT to lead him on. You give him your phone number.
The next week, you get a phone call. Someone says "hello, beautiful." You ask who it is, but they say "oh sorry, wrong phone number" and hang up. You're fairly certain it was that guy. The voice sounded the same. All throughout the week, you get a series of calls where when you answer, the person hangs up. At the end of the week, the guy from the pub leaves you a message asking if you want to hang out and gives you ALL of the phone numbers where he can be reached. You are mildly creeped out.

Stephen Sondheim himself sounds pretty positive about the project: "Sometimes a story or stage production has to wait a long time until the right people come together to turn it into a motion picture. That's what has happened with Sweeney Todd and I'm excited as well as confident that it will be a first-rate and startling movie."
Are you excited to see Burton's adaptation of Sweeney Todd?
Have you seen Sweeney Todd on stage, or the DVD version?
Do you really think that Sondheim would allow Depp to sing Sweeney poorly?
What are you most looking forward to in relation to the movie?

ok. is there ANY way to get my computer to STFU until Monday morning when I get it back to the help desk? they let me keep it for the weekend since they wouldn't be able to do anything more than test it yesterday. if we remember correctly, it's telling me there was a power surge on a hub port. resetting doesn't work, and there's either a speech bubble warning me about this in the corner of my screen or I have to keep the window open to reset it. One or the other and now it's just pissing me off.
help. please. it's going straight back to the tech center monday morning, but this is driving me batshit because the speech bubble keeps popping in and out and ARGH *throws piece of shit at wall*

Consensual Incest
Why is consensual incest deemed wrong by society?
I do believe it is wrong (and it's virtually impossible that I will ever think otherwise), but it just occurred to me that besides high risk of birth defects between opposite-gender, fertile partners in an incestuous relationship, I'm not clear on why I feel, along with most other people, that consensual incest is unacceptable. I feel it's immoral, but I do not yet have a sufficient explanation as to why it's immoral. I guess I could also say I think it's unnatural, which it basically is and always has been, but being unnatural is not the same as being immoral. Also -- in an article I just read, the writer mentioned the concept of "confusing relationships."
When I speak of consensual incest, I'm thinking mainly of the most "severe," in regards to proximity on the family tree: parents and children, siblings. Also, I suppose, aunts/uncles with nieces/nephews, as well as grandparents with grandchildren, are all looked upon with similarily high levels of disgust because of the additional age gap that gets nonrelated sexual partners skeptical looks as well. The only incestuous relationship that has a bit more room, to some people, are those between cousins, whether first or second, etc.

Okay, so my boyfriend is trying to remember the title of a book he read in class in 7th grade.
He said it was about a black family moving into an underground railroad house. The house was full of secret passages and there was a ghost and an evil old black guy who lived in the woods. You find out that he used to work at the house and his son is dressing up as him and scaring people.

moms and tickets.
When I first stared driving 5 years ago, I got 2 speeding tickets within about a month of eachother. One of them I took the class for and got rid of the points, but I couldn't for the other one because you can't take the class twice in one year. I am on my parents insurance still and just recently their insurance went up for both of those tickets from when I was 16.
Today I got a speeding ticket. The officer told me if I took the class and got the points taken off my liscence, that my insurance wouldn't go up.
If this is true, then my questions are:
a.) Why did my insurance go up for two tickets, 5 years later, when I took a class for one and got the points taken off?
b.) If I take the class, and pay the ticket, will anything still go to the insurance company or is it just not a possibility to keep this from my mother?
