who do you hate on tqc? (i know.. me, right?)

Why do humans tend to have solid one-mass bowel movements whereas grazing creatures such as gazelles defecate in small round pellets? Is there some biological advantage?

edit: My query is moreso on the specific rounded shape of the defecation, not so much the obvious differences such as diet and lifestyle. Why do we not poop perfect spheres?

1. Do you use 2-in-1 Shampoo/Conditioner? What brand?
2. What is your favorite ice cream?
3. If you are a college student, is this your last week of classes? It seems a lot of my friends are taking their finals this week or the next, but I have three weeks left.
4. Do you watch Desperate Housewives? Would you agree or disagree with the opinion that the show is one of the only positive portrayals of women on TV? I've never seen an episode.

Hmmph. I just found out through back channels that a former love of mine is getting married. What is particularly bad about it is that I am almost solely responsible for our downfall. I will call her S. It's hard. I know I am supossed to be the upstanding human being and wish her the best and hey, I really do. I feel really shitty about what happened. I think it's hard for me because...well it's hard for me right now because...I have been feeling rejected by Amanda. And after all the trouble I went through and all the shit I thought out and contingencies planned out...I'm done. Finished with that. It blows when you see all your friends and exes hitching up, making lives for themselves and here you are, older than most of them, almost 29...and you have...NOTHING happening for you. I am supposed to be a buddhist, a man who is quite aware of the impermanence and suffering of this world. But as much as I remind myself of this (and it really is true...nothing is forever...NOTHING), it is hard to come to terms with this. I know one of my greatest downfalls is comparing my life to others'. Their happiness, success, knowledge, money, status. I know that I shouldn't do that. But it sucks. I have spent my 20s in a daze and then in a dark cloud of college research and social isolation. I'm about to come out into the BIG 3-0. And what do I have? I have a degree. I have booksmarts. I have a worldview. That's about it. As a social human being, I find myself, an adult, inept, fearful, wanting to dive off a cliff. This is the truth. If I knew where to get cyanide pills, I'd look into it. I'm done kids.

So the question is...well...what the fuck? I am feeling annoyed at A and then just inadequate, a failure over all. I welcome all criticism and comments.

For those who have taken summer classes, what has been the general policy for missing classes?

Strawberry or grape jelly?

If I have two buckets, one with water and one without, is it possible to siphon the water from one to the other if they're on the same level? They're too heavy to lift up, FYI. What would I have to do to transfer the water from one to the other?

EDIT: Ok, it's a punching bag like this:



The black base is filled with water and the opening is at the top of the base. I need to get rid of the water. The punching bag is indoors in an apartment so I can't just dump it outside.

How come Ike--and the rest of the Canadians, for that matter--have the upper halves and lower halves of their heads separated?

do you get sick a lot?

How do these thighs make you feel?

IGNORE THE CROTCH. It's just the padding of the bike shorts. :(

When was the last time you pulled an all-nighter? As in, you literally stayed up all night, working on something or whatever it is you stayed up for.

My paper is due in seven and a half hours, and it's a quarter of the way done right now. I've got a can of Monster to sip on, a five-hour energy shot if need be, and I bought some ice cream just for the fuck of it. I should be all set, right?


Does anybody else's sleep schedule get fucked as easily as mine does? Since I'm staying up all night tonight, I know I'm gonna be nocturnal for the next four or five days because of it. And that stinks.

Hay TQC... umm, so black pencil skirt, black cami, black and off-white cardigan, light gold flats: appropriate for my first academic conference, y/n?


How long do you usually take in the shower?

Generally it's <10 minutes, if I'm not shaving. I am weird for a girl. :S

Out of sheer curiosity, for those of you out there who have ever tried to lose weight, exercise more, eat better, etc., what was your main source of inspiration to keep trying?

For example:
* to be healthier
* to be sexier
* to be better than someone else
* to piss off an ex
* to fit into a certain outfit
* an upcoming event or season
* so on and so forth...

You may or may not remember when I asked for help with a topic for my research paper. Thanks to TQC, I ended up with 'The Application and Evolution of Iconic Baltimore Print Designs.' It hasn't been graded yet, but it's looking pretty darn successful!

Now I have two papers left to write for two different classes. I'm not convinced that I can't use the same topic for both papers (I may even be able to use the same paper for both classes).

One is a 'research paper demonstrating original thought' about anything that has to do with language for my Syntax class. One is a 'persuasive paper relating to my major (English/technology/design)' for my Writing class.

What, in your opinion, should I do:

A. Try to turn the Baltimore print design paper into something I could argue for my persuasive paper and use something else for my language-themed research paper;
B. Try to write both papers on 'The Notion of Correctness and Bad Language;'
c. Try to write both papers on 'Advertising and Rhetorical Devices;'
D. Do something completely different?

Thoughts?

Has anyone here ever taken beta blockers for performance anxiety? I am presenting some research at school tomorrow and my doc gave me some to combat my fear of speaking in front of crowds.

If you do take them (and if it’s not too personal of a question) what do you take them for? Do they work well for you? Anything I should expect?

Hopefully an Australian can answer this for me. Is Brahma Lodge, South Australia, a suburb in the sense of being a neighborhood within a city, or is it an actual city? Google tells me it is a suburb, but I know in some places a suburb is also a city/town. According to the map, it looks like a neighborhood but I'm just a stupid American.

What weird, exotic pet do you want to own?

Pics > no pic, obviously

So there's this janitor in my all-girls dorm who drives me crazy. Any time he sees me he catches me and starts chatting and won't get the hint that I'm in a rush (because usually he catches me on my way to class). Last semester he walked in on me in the bathroom while I was brushing my teeth in my bathrobe. This morning he grabbed my arm without any preamble and I was like WUT.

He's not a creeper so much as just completely unaware (or deliberately ignoring) the many social registers between us (and I don't mean "social registers" like "he's a Janitor and I am a College Student" but rather "I really don't know this dude and he's seen me without pants"). He seems like a pretty nice guy but ACK.

TQC, what would you do in this situation? Would you just try to avoid him (which is virtually impossible) or would you tell him to GTFO?

I don't want to act like a snob but he's making me srsly uncomfortable.

Last summer I bought an aloe vera plant from the farmers market (it was very small and in a ziploc baggie)
I placed it on my counter with some other stuff and forgot about it until we moved 6 weeks ago. It still looked healthy and my husband said it was probably in a dormant state due to the coolness by the window.

SO here it is springtime and I put it in a pot with a sandy soil mix and it's starting to turn brown in some spots.

What the hell did I do wrong?
How can I fix it?
If i can't keep a simple plant alive how will I ever manage with children when that time comes????

My left upper thigh/lower buttcheek keeps feeling like something really hot is blasting on it, like an oven or a space heater. But there are no heat sources! Why is my skin/flesh/nervous system freaking out? It is not otherwise irritated, there are no "burny" products on it like Icy Hot or anything either.

I've mentioned before that i'm helping my sister and dad throw my mom a surprise 50th birthday party. I'm preparing the invitations to be sent out and i'm a little confused about addressing the envelope. It's a casual dinner party, so should I address it to "The Jones Family", or do something like "Mr. and Mrs. Greg Jones and family"?  I don't want to give the impression that this is a formal event.

What were some of the more serious accidents/shenanigans you got yourself into as a kid?


Once, when I was around 3-4, I sat right down on an ant hill and proceeded to be stung by a swarm of red ants. I had to be rushed to the hospital.

And then, another time, when I was like 8 or 9, my sister and I went to go pick the fruit off some cactuses in the back yard to eat because we heard that's what the Indians did. We didn't wear gloves, so our hands just got completely covered with microscopic cactus spines that my mom had to use a magnifying glass and tweezers to remove over a period of hours.

If your boyfriend of 3 years continued to talk to your ex best friend, even though she continues to talk shit about you and hates your guts, would you be mad? Mad enough to break up? He's not cheating on me with her, but we were all friends before she started to hate me and he feels that even though she's a "psycho bitch", he still continues to talk and hang out with her. What do you do/feel/say?

If you are married, were married, or are even in the process of planning a wedding:

1. How much was the total cost?
2. Did you create a budget ahead of time? If so, did you go over/under it?
3. Who paid for it?
4. Where did you hold the wedding? The reception?
5. How many people did you plan for?
6. How much did you pay for a photographer, and what kind of package did you get?
7. Looking back, is there anything you would do differently?

So it's time for me to get a new phone and I would have a discount on an iphone/ other phones, but I already have an itouch I got for free, so is it extremely pointless to want an iphone??

I always wish my itouch could call people so I can have it all in one.

What would I do with my itouch if i get the phone? Backup? Use both??

If you have an iphone do you like it?

I was wondering if any of you have ever done any volunteer work or had gotten a job somewhere in a different country like Portugal, for example.

Ive been looking into spending the summer in Portugal and I have a place to stay and things like  all I need now is a way there, I was thinking maybe a job or some sort of organizattion that does work there would be able to help.

Do any of you know any? or have any ideas?

For the person recieving money through Paypal what's the difference between being paid by CC Paypal, and Paypal funds straight from the account? Does it clear faster or something?

I figure someone here in the all-knowing TQC might be able to help.

Any thoughts TQC?

1. What are some things that are timeless to you?

2. On the contrary, what are some things that, to you, represent ephemerality?

3. What kinds of things represent the passage of time? (I was thinking something along the lines of hair, which grows with the passage of time).

TQC,

If you have ever grown your hair long, how did you keep from getting bored and wanting to get it all cut off into a fantastic shorter haircut?

Or do you know any interesting haircuts for longer hair? Mine doesn't really have any style, it's just there.

If you don't care about haircuts, will you go to http://www.sometimesredsometimesblue.com/ and tell me if you get red or blue?

I got red.

Thanks.

Will you describe the sound of your typical breath?

For my thesis I need to write a biography about someone who was young (between 10 and 30) during the 1960s. The sixties were obviously an awesome time, but everybody who has studied at least some history (or music) knows that the focus usually is on America and Europe. Therefore I'd like to try a new approach. So my question here is: who was young during the sixties, wouldn't mind to be interviewed about his/her experiences during that time and is from either Eastern Europa, Australia/New Zealand or Japan?
If you qualify for all three, please do drop a comment in which you shortly describe where you did what during the sixties. If you don't qualify for the last one, I'm still interested in your story but if possible I'd prefer someone from those countries. If you're uncomfortable spilling bits of your live on the internet that easily just tell me and I'll give you my e-mail.

Thanks in advance for helping me out! :)

I don't use canned fish, aside from tuna, but my husband is cooking salmon cakes and he sent me to the store to buy 7oz of canned salmon. This is simple, right? NO. There I saw, in the same brand, with the same label, a 14oz can (soup can shape/size) and a 7oz can (tuna can shape/size), each for the same price. Is this a trap? What is with that? What is the difference?

Edit: In my further internettings, I have found that it's likely the big can was skin-bones-n-all, while the small can I bought is boneless & skinless. Does that sound logical?

THIS IS A VERY SRS POST AND I AM NOT AT ALL HUNG OVER. FROM MY BIRTHDAY WHICH WAS YESTERDAY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.

What is the hardest/most incomprehensible book you've ever attempted to read?

Ugh, one my classes has a lot of really crazy required reading, and I am having a tough time getting through it.  I normally can handle 'hard' reading, but some of this is just ridiculous.

Example, from Laura Riding's Anarchism is Not Enough

"The only productive design is designed waste. Designed creation results in nothing but the destruction of the designer; it is impossible to add to what is; all is and is made. Energy that attempts to make in the sense of making a numerical increase in the sum of made things is spitefully returned to itself unused. It is a would-be-happy-ness ending in unanticipated and disordered unhappiness. Energy that is aware of the impossibility of positive construction devotes itself to an order using-up and waste of itself: to an anticipated unhappiness which, because it has design, foreknowledge, is the nearest approach to happiness. Undesigned unhappiness and designed happiness both mean anarchism. Anarchism is not enough."


Seriously, wtf?  I have no idea how I'm supposed to write about this.

Hey guys. I just got my report card in the mail (I'm a junior in high school) and I got high honors for the first time since I was about..10.

If you're graduating this year, who is your commencement speaker?
Or if you've already graduated, who WAS your commencement speaker?

I was supposed to graduate in June and was super excited to find out who was speaking since it was J.K. Rowling last year. But now I'm not graduating in June and they announced Secretary of Energy Steven Chu as speaker so I'm hoping it will be someone more ~exciting~ next year.

 

I'm trying to make a playlist for the gym. I have some decent songs from the Itunes Cardio playlist, but I need more. I remember awhile ago someone posting a playlist from the show "How I met your mother" That was something like slap your mothers ass kick her teeth in most awesome playlist. Something like that. Who knows of the rubbish I speak of?

Tonight I was walking home from work when I walked by a man standing on the other side of the street wearing one of these costumes. I couldn't see his eyes through the costume but from the direction his body was angled, I could tell he was watching me as I walked down the street. There is rarely anyone in the street I was walking down, and he wasn't carrying pamphlets or anything so it wasn't a promotional thing. The man was alone, and there were no kids around to be enthralled by his costume. He just stood there. Hands by his side. Watching me.

What the fuck was this dude up to, you guys?

(We met at Kindergarten orientation day and we're 27 now :o) So it's not an "Omg new BFF of the now" situation)

you ate that WHOLE THING?

Do you ever have a really rough day where you just don't seem to be able to function properly and you think to yourself, "Obviously this is because I did not have enough bacon today"?

What are some good (read: polite) ways of telling a friend from the east coast that I really don't feel like its the right time for me to be putting her up for a few weeks (possibly a month and a bit depending on how things go) in late July as she tries to move out here and find a job?

Should I just flat out say that or try and wiggle my way out of this?

We are not close friends necessarily. I met her through some random message board and we talk a couple times a week (sometimes not so frequently) online and I like her but I don't really feel like it's a good idea for this to go down if I haven't really met her in person and I only know her as much as a person can know some one online. She's a really sensitive person and takes things the wrong way from what I can tell (she has the issue of whining a little about non existent drama) so I'm not sure that just telling her that flat out would go over so well so I've stalled by saying I'll just have to see what my schedule is like cause I may be on vacation.

The kicker is that she has an aunt and a cousin who she is close with here and yet she's asking me if she can stay with me for a while when again, she only knows me as much as two people can know each other without ever really meeting or at least talking on a consistent basis instead of a few times a month over the course of 8 or 10 months.

Are any of you ChaCha guides?

I've seen both very positive and negative experiences about it, specifically not getting paid. If you are/were a guide, did you get paid? Or ever not get paid? Do you like working for them?

For those not guides, what are the funniest/oddest questions you have asked chacha? And what was the response?

What are the usual toppings for your local hot dog?

When I lived in NYC it was those red-colored stewed onions, sauerkraut, ketchup, mustard. In RI the predominant dog dish seems to be the hot wiener, which comes with "meat sauce" (not to be confused with chili), chopped raw onions, and celery salt.

1.  Dear Dr. TQC,

While I was making dinner, my hand slipped and I stabbed myself in the palm (right about where the Jupiter arrow is pointing in this picture). It stopped bleeding pretty quickly but a few hours later, I'm just noticing that it hurts a lot to move my middle finger. It doesn't hurt where I cut myself (below the pointer finger), only around the base of my middle finger. It feels just like I jammed it, actually.

I'm not really concerned yet but when should I start worrying? How would I know if I'd damaged a nerve?



2. Have you ever had your palm read or your fortune told? If so, how did it go?
