I'm currently on a flight from LAX to JFK. The woman sitting in front of me put her seat back immediately. I usually avoid putting my seat back because I always feel like it's kind of rude. I checked and the woman behind me had her seat back too so I decided it was okay to put mine back. The woman behind me has been pushing on the back of my seat since I put it back about 5 minutes ago.

Should I ignore her and leave it back or put it up and be uncomfortable?

When you were a kid, what were some "bad" words you weren't allowed to say?
All the usuals, but my mom also got mad if we said butt, fart, or crap.

Was there ever a word you didn't realize was bad, until you got in trouble for it?
Yeah, I made the mistake of telling my second grade teacher I was pissed off. Didn't end well.

Are there certain ~curse words~ you won't say now?
I don't go out of my way to avoid any of them.

How would you suggest a person go about delving into Shakespeare?

A few years ago, I was given a large set of books containing all the known works of Shakespeare. I have yet to even open them. The only acquaintance I have with anything Shakespeare is modern movies, and once when I was about 16, I saw a production of Twelfth Night. I feel that it is about goddamned time that I read all this stuff, because come on. Any suggestion on where to begin?

So, my mom called the other day to warn me that my grandmother may be sending me a gift from Omaha Steaks. I dont know when this will happen, if its soon or more towards Christmas.


Is this a silly gift or an awesome one? Or maybe both?
I know their meat works out to something crazy like $20 a pound sometimes, but has anyone ever had their meat before? Is it good, or just sort of average?

If its good, thats fantastic since the meat around where I live is generally average or below average. :(

Edit - I should say, I will like it either way. Free food and gifts from grandma are always great :)

The concept of the movie "2012" is really puzzling me. All the previews for it I've seen seem to be suggesting that John Cusack and his family are trying to...outrun the end of the world or somehow escape from it.

What is the reasoning here? I get that in any situation you'd obviously try to save your life and the lives of your children, but THE WORLD IS ENDING and let's assume there's no chance of survival. Why create such chaos for yourself?

If you found out that the world was ending in 2 days, the planet was going to be obliterated and there was no chance of survival, what would you do? Assume that everyone else also knows the world is ending so things are likely not running in a "business as usual" fashion.

I've been having major problems with Flash in both Firefox and Safari, unless I disable the plugins I can't use either browser but then I can't watch YouTube videos or any other Flash content so that's not really a permanent solution. I've googled and tried a lot of different suggestions but none have worked for me. So my question is this, considering I'm using a Mac and it seems to be a Mac problem from what I've seen online (and you know..Safari is an Apple program) do you think if I set an appointment with the Genius Bar they'd be able to fix it for me or just tell me this is not their problem?

Thanks

1. You live in an apartment building, and your bedroom is either right next to or above/below your neighbor's bedroom. You can tell by the loud coughing that someone is sick. It's been going on for a few days now, and a lot of the night, too. Do you ever tell them that they should see a doctor?

I'm scared my neighbors are going to start leaving me notes on my door. I've been coughing for a few days, taking both over the counter and then prescription medicine. Neither has had an effect so far :(

What's the worst thing you've ever puked up?

My vomiting experiences have all been quite tame. When I was 7 or 8 I had mumps and my mum could only get aspirin crushed in milk down me. We went to my aunties and she managed to tempt me with some blackcurrant cordial. When we got home I puked it all over the bathroom floor. I HATE puking so was really quite traumatised by it. To this day I don't like like having purple foods/drinks and my first thought is always, 'what if I puke it up?'

I think popcorn woud be the worst thing to throw up.

I want to close them up completely, to either an 18g or 20g, but i cannot for the life of me find any of my old, smaller tapers and plugs. would the holes close up normally and evenly if i just took out my 4g plugs and left my lobes alone?

Both my parents are home and they're going to be asking me why I'm making something so unusual. I'm not comfortable telling them I want to try to induce my period so I can have blood free sex with my boyfriend, so what (srs/non-srs) reasons should I give them instead?

Sporadically, for the last three weeks, my booty call guy texts me the same question: What are you doing?
When I answer, I also add, "How about you?" and he never replies or texts any further.

Why does he do this?
Its usually in the morning or late at night, when he gets off of work.
He knows that I don't drive, so its not like he's trying to ask me to come over, based on whatever I text him back.

Back story: We've been sleeping together for around a month and a half, but recently, we haven't been at all, which is fine with me, because we always knew there would be an expiration date.
We've talked on the phone before, never exceeding an hour. He's not very smart and usually just talks about really surface things.

How does applebees (or the other places that are offering freebies to vets)check veteran status for the folks getting freebies today for being vets? Do they just take the customer's word for it and work on the honor system? Or do you think they'll be super strict and force my husband to bust out his discharge papers as proof?

Ooooh, maybe they'll make him recite the Soldier's creed or do some sort of drill thingy that only military people know? If that were the case, what an entertaining night to go to applebees.

I'm applying to nursing school and I need to write an essay. Here's the topic:

Tell us how you became interested in healthcare and relate any healthcare experience you may have to date.


How do I write this essay without sounding cheesy or convoluted? The truth is, I've been working in mental health for about 10 years and I'm sick of it. I have a Masters degree in psych and I'm starting over at age 30.

I like working in hospitals and I want to do something more interesting with greater opportunities for advancement and better pay. I think they want the "I really want to help people" speech but I can't do that without sounding insincere.

My mom was a nurse for over 30 years and I'd like to get that in there somehow.

Any suggestions as to how I should approach this? Possible topic sentences appreciated!

(if you're not sure what it is.. the basic ingredients are Vodka, Clamato, Worcestershire, Horse Radish & Hot sauce/tabasco.. it's usually garnished with a bean or celery :) )

I've heard them referred to as "Canada's favourite mixed drink", do you agree?
When I was in the US I was suprised to not see them on menus, because they're pretty popular here =[. I ordered one anyway at Olive Garden and they said they'd do a spicy bloody mary as a substitute. It was still good, but not AS good. =[.

I love caesars. They're my drink of choice 99% of the time. Extra spicy with an extra bean. :)

I just can't drop this, and if you are sick of hearing about it, then you don't have to read the following OR comment, just skip right over!

Do you trust the medical professionals in your life so well that you don't bother to educate yourself on the drugs/vaccines/treatments that they prescribe? Why or why not?

How do you feel about the prescribing information provided by the manufacturer of the vaccine?

Do you realize that this prescribing information is ONLY based on very limited testing, and yet still raises some red flags?

If you already have a weakened immune system, do you know the complications that the vaccine can cause?

Please take the time to read the following prescribing information for the H1N1 vaccine www.medimmune.com/pdf/products/h1n1_pi.pdf, if you haven't already, and remember this is only information that has been collected and interpreted this year. For more information on other vaccines visit www.vaccinesafety.edu/package_inserts.htm

I am not attempting to talk people out of the vaccine, I just think it is only right that people are educated on what they put in their bodies. And unfortunately we can't trust all medical professionals to provide this information

To those of you who were quick to judge me on my last post, I have spent extensive amounts of time educating myself on this matter. I have several years of education in the field of autism and have therefore studied vaccines for years as well. Please ask me questions if you doubt what I know, don't assume you know me!!!

I've got this idea that I should make up a bumper stick that enrages absolutely everybody, but not to the point where anyone will actually shoot at me. The best I've come up with so far is Life is Too Short to Eat Inferior Pussy but I'm worried that it isn't offensive enough.

What would you suggest?

How do you go about trusting someone without worrying every time something seems "off"? 

More details: About a month and a half ago, I was in the same position as I am now, but ended up getting really hurt. Somehow, I'm back in that position and am having a really hard time letting go of everything and worrying I'll get hurt again every time even the littlest thing happens.

oh, dog [Nov. 11th, 2009|07:06 pm]

[cme2694]
My husband and I got a done in July. While I grew up with dogs, I don't think I realized just how stupid they can be. I'm wondering if anyone else's dogs do this, and if you have an explanation for the behavior besides just that dogs are weird.

1. When we take her out, and grab her leash and collar, she will run away and grab a bite of her dog food. She'll then come back and sit nicely waiting for you to put her collar and leash on her. Why could she possibly need one more bite?

2. A lot of times when we're eating in front of the TV, the dog will bring her bone up and put it on the coffee table and then look at our food. Does she think we're going to trade with her?

3. When we come home from work, she checks to make sure it's us at the door. Then she'll run and grab her bone and bring it to us. It doesn't always seem like she wants to play with us/the bone, so I'm not sure why?

What are some things that your dogs do that make you go 'WTF?'

TQC, where would you rather live?

a) in a flat with only one housemate who's rarely home, the place is generally always quiet and peaceful and you can do basically anything you want?

or

b) in a flat with about 3-4 other people, (but you have your own private room), there are almost always people in the living room (so you don't have much freedom) but it's never lonely?

also, what is it about parents comparing their child's grades with other children? it's so awful... my sister's exam grades just got out as well as my SO's sister's. my sister didn't do as well as his did, and i dont really want to answer when his family asks me what my little sister got. i don't want my sister to feel awful about it.

Do you think the cumulative grade point average labeling system at your school was indicative of the actual population's average?

Do you consider a cumulative GPA to be an equal reflection of accomplishment and intelligence, or lean towards it being more of one or the other?

For instance, at my high school, we considered and were told by some teachers a 3.0 is average and a 3.5 is above average. I graduated with a 3.3, but in my shame, I wouldn't want people to think I graduated with a 2.3 (as being slightly above average)!

"Like Afghanistan (but to a much lesser extent), Mexico is also a country that used to be peaceful and safe and has now become dangerous and chaotic."

Does that make sense? I'm trying to say that Mexico has it better than Afghanistan/has seen less of the extent of violence that Afghanistan has seen. At first it sounded right but now I've read it so many times I can't tell if it's clear or if it might sound like I'm saying Mexico is worse off than Afghanistan.

Sorry, it's my bedtime and my brain is dead and rereading stuff too many times makes it look funny.

[ETA:] I mean does the "to a much lesser extent" make sense, or does the way I positioned it mean that Afghanistan experiences a lesser extent than Mexico?
