My mom's making me leave the house from 12-5 tomorrow.
Where should I go? (I can't drive, I live in a small town, and I have a broken foot/a walking cast up to my knee)
She said she's doing something for me.

The husband is getting sick again. When he's feeling bad, he basically just stops eating, unless there's something on hand that he doesn't have to mess with preparing. I used to come home for lunch, so I'd just cook something for him and he'd eat it. But I transferred stores, and that's no longer an option.
What kind of meals reheat really well? What should I buy for him, other than the basic cold cuts and hot dogs? The more calories, the better.

I love the visual aspect of Okami + the fact that you get to make a cute wolf run around everywhere
I <3 the battle system and long cutscenes of Xenosaga (eta: OH! and the fact that you can make any active party member your on-screen character.)

tqc, help me make a responsible decision.
i am supposed to leave for vacation in less than an hour. i felt really weird all yesterday evening and night, and a couple of hours ago, i woke up and puked in the bathroom. i feel better, but i still feel a little ill. i am supposed to carpool with 5 other people for an 8 hour drive. i have already paid for this trip, and it is really important to me (i have been going to the same place for six years now).
i know you all can't diagnose me over the internet, but do you think one instance of puking is enough that i should call off the trip for the sake of the others in the carpool? or do you think this sounds like just a bad food incident that will pass?
eta: i threw up again and i have a temp of 100, so we've decided i can't go, at least not now. :-( will you cheer me up with a sad story about a time you were sick and missed out on all the fun?

TQC, I've had a really bad night, and I have to be up for a meeting/work in an hour. I am really tired right now and completely emotionally drained. What should I do?
A) Write an e-mail to my boss explaining some heavy personal shit went down, and that I am going to try my hardest to get up for our super early staff meeting but that it isn't looking good. Hope she lets me come in later so I can get at least a little bit of sleep.
B) Take a twenty minute nap and hope I don't sleep past my alarm (which I always do when this happens).
C) Continue staying up, and take something to keep me awake, knowing that I am working a nine hour shift and have some intense personal shit to take care of after work, and probably have no chance of sleeping for at least twelve hours, meaning I would be awake for 36 hours straight.
D) Other (pls tell!)

So I'm looking at houses to rent on Craigslist, and emailed a lady about one in particular. She wrote back saying that her realtor would get in touch with me. Realtor got in touch with me, we set up an appointment to see the house, and now she is offering to find us other houses to look at if I give her our criteria.
Question is: if we go see a few of the houses recommended by the realtor, would we be obligated to pay her...? Like would that be the same as "hiring" her? IDK how these things work.

The celebrant is coming this afternoon to discuss the arrangements for my father's funeral, and then there's a printer coming to discuss the memento booklets and things...
I'm struggling to find suitable poems/readings. He was a staunch atheist, so I need to find something that doesn't have any references to an afterlife of any sort. Things talking about returning the body to nature might be okay though. He was quite young (early 60s), and died after a brutal battle with cancer.
Do you know of any that might be suitable, or a good place where I could find some?

my contract with AT&T is up on the 22nd and i'll be switching to verizon... i REALLY REALLY want the touch pro2 but it won't be coming out until at least later on this year. my question is if i sign up with verizon now, but keep the phone i have from AT&T, can i get a discounted phone later or do you only get the contract prices when you first sign up? maybe not the full discount but at least SOMETHING instead of the ungodly $600 or so it will cost at full price.
i feel like this post is worded really horribly so i apologize in advance if it doesn't make sense.
eta: ok ok i suck but what if i got a cheapo phone on ebay that would work with verizon and then waited?

I was looking at my school's academic calendar because I am considering dropping a summer course, and the dates listed for dropping are as follows:
Last day to withdraw (drop ALL Summer II only classes and receive full refund): July 6
Last day to drop a course (reduce course load) without fee penalty: July 9
Last day to drop a course/withdraw without academic penalty: July 22
Obviously I missed the first two deadlines. But what exactly happens here, with the third one? Does this just mean I'm still paying for the class even though I'd be dropping it? Will it count as a W on my transcript?

Nerd question!! From this- http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2009/07/_our_wait_for_an.php
Who do you think should play the Green Lantern, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, or Justin Timberlake?
Seems like the article is out of date and Reynolds has the job. Never the less I'll keep this up cus I value your opinion

TV is not the mirror of our lives
Can you name a currently running television show where the actresses playing lead or reccuring female roles don't look like models (i.e thin, tall,long hair that is usually perfectly styled) ?

One of my friends has completely lost sexual interest in her boyfriend of 2+ yrs. He's on vacation with his bff for 2 weeks and she thinks it's better to break up with him when he gets back. I think she should have done it before he left, but she was afraid of ruining his vacation. I told her to break up with him while he's still on vacation so he can have meaningless "forget-her" sex but she disagrees. What do you think?
How many people do you typically sleep with after a break-up before you dip your toes in the LTR pool again?
Would an essay about a horse dildo offend you?
Can you rap?

How do you nicely say "Pay me you peice of shit?"
So I have this job that I should have quit after my first training day. I knew this was going to be problems. But I stuck it out.
So Thursday July 2 we got paid for the first time (took long enough, I started training May 19...)
My pay was direct deposited so I forgot until today to check the "pay stub" online.
When I did I found out two bad things.
1. There are over 10 hrs I worked that are not reflected on the stub.
2. They are taking my work study which they are not supposed to (as my other job is work study).
Work study I need to take up with payroll themselves, but I will need my employer to cooperate to get the money refunded to my work study account.
I don't care about keeping the job, I don't care about using it as a reference. But I need things to go smoothly so I can get the work study situation fixed.
So, How do you politely bring up to an employer that they didn't pay you for over 10 hours and they need to?
I've never had a job like this where that has been a problem.

Do any of you use henna?
I was thinking about getting some and trying it, since I've read a ton about it on the hennapages or whatever, but I'm not sure it's worth it / completely safe with my family's skin problems. That and I'd have to order the henna powder off the internet, and I hate buying stuff since I don't have a credit card and have to use my mom's then pay her back.
What'dya think, TQC, should I go for it or skip it?

Today at work, I was telling a customer that I got my seven year old cousin a bag of pixy stix for his birthday. She said she was getting her grandson one of those corn popper things as pay back to her son! Her husband then said "I was given a carton of ciggarettes at age eight." and started laughing. She then turned to me and said "Don't listen to him. He's dumb" then turned to her husband and said "Shut up, Ed! You're such an idiot!" and they walked out of the store.
I laughed for about ten minutes.

So tonight my friend and I stopped in Starbucks so she could pee, and I ordered a drink. She's done just as I get it, so we go ahead and leave, as I suck down the triple shot of espresso. We're about 5 minutes from my house and my cup is empty of liquid, but I notice something else in there. It reminded me of the chocolate shavings they put on some of the holiday drinks, so I took a closer look...only to see it was a fly. A fly was stuck in some of the remaining caramel.
I got home, proceeded to vom, and called the starbucks to let them know. They're filling out an incident report and giving me some coupons. My dad saw my not quite empty cup and put it in the freezer, "just in case".
Should I take my fly!coffee back with me in the morning as evidence of my traumatic episode, or toss it?
edit to clarify: i didn't know if i needed to bring the cup with me to validate my complaint or if i don't really need it

All right, party people.
My boyfriend's parents have invited me to travel with them to New Zealand in December, and they're going to pay for everything.
I am in total and complete awe that my boyfriend's parents are doing this for me. Both I and my parents have offered them money to help pay, but they are having none of it. What do I do to express my gratitude for their generosity? Taking them out to dinner, giving them a Thank You card, etc. doesn't seem to cut it.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions as to what to do in New Zealand (we're going to spend the majority of our time in the Northern Island), I'd love to hear about it!

cat behavior
I'm hoping someone here is familiar with kitty behavior. Basically, my cat will not leave my side. No matter what I do-she's there, even when I go to take a shower she jumps in (seriously) Also, her tail is always puffed up like she's frightened, which would make sense why she needs to be on my ass all the time.
However, I'm out of the apartment most of the day. She doesn't scratch the furniture, always uses the litter box, basically any other defiant or "I'm scared to be alone" behavior she does not show while I'm gone.
Why can't my damn cat leave me alone for 10 minutes??
