Do you ever listen to the same song one repeat over and over and over again? If so, when was the last time and what was the song?
I have been listening to Crazy Love (the cover by Jason Manns and Jensen Ackles) on repeat for the last few days. I am in love with that song (as well as the original Van Morrison version).

Inspired by my "adventure" last night...
If ever, when was the last time you got into a car accident?
Who was at fault?
Did anyone get hurt?
Anyone have any crazy stories?
We (my SO's cousin was driving) rearended a lady last night that stopped in the middle of the freeway in an effort to cut into traffic merging onto another freeway. She kept driving! We had to follow her for another 2 miles before we were able to get her to pull over, where she began screaming at Cousin while we were waiting for the cops. Then she drove off!! We had to chase her and call the cops back to give them our new location. Luckily she drove into a cul-de-sac and we were able to block her in when she tried to drive away again. And all I wanted was to go home after a long day...

So...we have this one 4 way intersection in my town....you would think that there would only be 4 stop signs, right? Nope. 12 stop signs for one 4 way intersection and 8 stop ahead signs.
Do you think that's excessive?
Have you ever seen something like that?
And...for the people with dogs...
I've had my pup for almost a month and he's still not house broken. We're doing the crate training thing, but eh.... He knows he's supposed to go outside after he gets out..but he doesn't seem to understand that he needs to go outside the rest of the time. I can catch him and get him outside if he starts to poo on the carpet..but I'm not quite quick enough when he starts to pee.
Any tips? I'm about ready to go insane.

I'm in Denny's alone right now while I get an oil change in my car. Its really slow in here, and there isn't anyone sitting near me. I wanna watch a video, but I have no headphones with me.

So there are two ways that I can spend my summer, and I'm completely unsure of what to do.
Option 1:
I got an internship for the summer. It's not one of those "lucrative" internships that pay their interns a ridiculous amount of money. In fact, the internship is unpaid. It's just something that seems like fun and relevant to what I think I'd like to pursue as a career. But knowing me, I change my mind all the time and in a few months, I could decide that I want to pursue something else entirely. I think the internship would be fun, and I'd get to live with one of my best friends in New York City. I'm also a junior, so this would be my last summer before I graduate.
Option 2:
I can take a few classes at my college, which is supposed to be gorgeous in the summertime. My boyfriend will also be there, which is a huge incentive. It would be a relaxing summer in quiet Upstate New York.
Help me weight out my options. What should i do? What would you do?

An author writes a series of books.
A fan likes the books and collects info about them and makes a website with an encyclopedia of sorts. The site is free and the fan makes no profit and the author doesn't mind.
Book series finishes, author plans on writing a follow-up encyclopedia with info about the books and what happens to the characters afterwards.
Fan wants to publish his website into a book. Author tells him no, because she is publishing her own.
Fan goes ahead and tries it anyway, author gets mad and takes him to court.
Do you think author is well within her rights to refuse the fan's publication? Do you think the fan has every right to publish whatever he wants?
Basically, whose side are you on in this situation? Why?

What are some things you enjoy doing (or re-doing) from your past that give you comfort?
For example(s), when I was in 8th grade, I read the entire Redwall series to comfort me during anxiety attacks that caused me to stay home from school for weeks. Now that I'm older, I re-read the series to give me comfort when I'm dealing with a rough time.
I'm also just about to re-play Jak 2 and Jak 3 on the PS2. When I first started being home-schooled in high school, these were the two games that I obsessed over and spent so much time playing to take my mind off everything. Just the thought of playing them is giving me a comfort I can't explain.

I guess I could try and then I will update on

back blemishes
I remember a few weeks ago when we had a swimming party and my friend's back was blotchy and covered with pimples. Edit: I'm not talking about 3-5, I'm talking about ... 30+ or something, like an allergic reaction of some sort. It was gross.

2: Do you still use condoms, even if you on a birth control prescription?
3: Does anyone here have experience with the Implanon?
And one for everyone!
4: What color are the underpants you are wearing right now?? Tee hee!

Paper writing
I'm currently writing two different papers (and btw, thanks for the topic help a few weeks ago).

Heya, TQC. I just got a bill for an IUD insertion. Now, this was supposed to be free, was my understanding, perhaps i did not ask the correct questions or they filed some wrong paperwork, but let's say that when they call me back that I'm still stuck with this bill.
The drugs, the iud and the insertion are both listed under "billed to patient" and "billed to insurance"-- I assume my insurance didn't cover it all, that's understandable. The drugs actually show a balance of zero under billed to patient, so whatever. Adding up insertion costs comes to about what I'm finding online as an average cost for insertion. But, adding up (IUD billed to patient) and (IUD billed to insurance) totals over $800 and my information says the iud itself is from 300-400 dollars.
Is there a way to dispute this? I'm pretty sure there is when you're working with medicare or what have you but here I don't know. I have blue cross/blue shield, if that helps.
Alternately, how might I come up with nearly $500 in 2 weeks ish? >.< Anyone know someone in the market for a kidney?
EDIT~ I managed to call them today, and my insurance did not cover the iud or the insertion (SO i imagine what the bill is showing is that the insurance paid its "we don't cover this we're just helping you out" portion) BUT that's moot because they did, in fact, file the wrong paperwork and it is supposed to be free and my balance is now $00.00. Thank god.

Bad Boys 2
I hope someone can help me settle this argument so I don't have to rent and watch the movie again.
In Bad Boys 2 our two heroes are preparing to break into someone's house and rescue a hostage. In order to do so they want the house owner to think that his security systems is crazy. They hope he will turn it off and they can sneak in undetected. The plan is to use cats and iguanas (?) and either the cats of the iguanas or both get thrown over the fence to cause the appropriate troubles. And that's the question that is causing the argument: Who gets thrown over the fence? The cats? The iguanas? Both? Any fans of the movie here who can answer that?

Ok, what was the name of the guy from the 1800's (or 1900's?). He worked in a hospital I think, for delivering babies. The hospital had a high death toll and many women died because the doctors who were delivering the babies did not wash their hands. So this guy told them to wash their hands and the death toll fell a lot.

I had/have a small ant problem. Tired of an ant superhighway going from my stove exhaust fan, under my cupboards, up my window, and into a small pin prick hole in my ceiling (totally bypassing all the food in my cupboards), I went out and bought some Raid ant traps. I placed one trap directly in the middle of the ants path, and the others in less annoying locations. Then I took a 3 minute video of the ants walking up to the trap, looking at if for a second, and then walking around, above, below, but not into the trap.
Should I send my video to Raid and let them know they suck?
When was the last time you bought something that didn't work the way you were hoping it would?
PS foaming bathroom spray is an amazingly effective ant killer.

have you ever had athlete's foot? what was it like?
my feet always itch really, really bad after i shower and i have no clue why. they never itch at any other time, they're not dry or flakey or abnormal looking so i don't know if it's athlete's foot. i also know it isn't my shower because this happens regardless of where i shower.
what causes this mysterious foot itch?! will i ever be healed?

1. Students, on a scale of 1-10 (1 being not worried, 10 being not leaving the house due to crippling anxiety), how nervous do you get over grades at the end of the semester? I'm freaking out right now and I really have no reason to be, I'm just terrified.
2. What's the last major purchase you made?
3. Do you make regular donations to charity? Which ones?

abs
I need a 6 pack ASAP (beer is acceptable). Problem is I can's do regular crunches or sit-ups because of a torn ligament in my back and scoliosis. Can you guys give me some good ab workouts that are really effective that won't leave me in severe pain?
Thanks

Do cats hate making eye contact?
Should I get googly-eye jewelry pierced into my genitals so that it looks like I'm staring wildly at whoever is giving me head?
What kind of edible/food-making plants can I still plant? Is it too late? Can I grow any of them indoors? (I semi-successfully grew strawberries in my bedroom for a while.)

What's a good freeware program that teaches you how to touch-type numbers? I'm a fast touch typist but slow down to a crawl whenever I get to patches of numbers.
And, to make up for the boring question:
What's the most humiliating way to die? Answers can be as contrived as you want.

should i show my parents my flickr account?
i'm thinking about just emailing it to my dad. i don't have a very good connection with my parents at all and they think i'm a talentless dumbass. i'm asian and i don't try very hard in school even though i do manage to scrape up A's. usually....and my brother's a genius and it's really disheartening...
ever since like a year ago, i've found that i'm pretty interested in photography but i don't know if it's worth showing. (i just privated some pictures in case of awkwardness if i DO send it) i'm getting REALLY annoyed because my parents want to send me off to random shit camps like fucking SAILING camp or some shit and i really don't want to do it and they keep asking me what i AM good at and i'm like "um..." so now they want to send me to an SAT course and i'm freaking THIRTEEN (fourteen in a month). i HATE thinking and worrying about that stuff....i just want to run around outside and have fun.
anyway, i've never had any formal training or anything and i take everything with a kind of broken canon powershot and enhance it with photoshop (which i realized i've done too much so i'm trying to stop)/.
so should i show them? my dad KIND of thinks i'm okay at photography since once he looked at some dumb pictures i took at a triathlon.
sorry for the length

My friend and I are getting an apartment together next semester. I've been living in a dorm for the last two years.
So, is there anything that you wish you had known about living on your own before you moved into an apartment from a dorm or your parents' house?
Also, approximately how much do you spend on groceries per week for just yourself? What kinds of things do you eat? Are you a vegetarian?

TQC, be my travel agent?
This Saturday I am going to NYC on a bus trip. What can I see/do in NYC that is free or cheap?? I only have from 11am-8pm to do stuff and things and I believe we will be dropped off at Times Square or St.Patrick's Cathedral (depending on traffic due to the Pope being there). There is a possibility of having a few friends other than my boyfriend there with me.
Also, any good tips for keeping money or debit cards safe? I was considering not carrying my purse and only having a slim wallet on me with essentials (ex: ID, Debit card, Insurance cards). Is this a good idea or should I have a purse anyways?

Do you/have you ever listened to Buddy Holly? David Bowie? Bob Dylan? It seems that I'm getting into older music.
