In a very Bertie Wooster series of mishaps, it so happens that there is no way in heaven or earth that I can have my homework finished by class time tomorrow night. This is not a tragedy and probably will not affect my grade much, if at all, but it is a pain in the ass and I like my professor a lot and it bugs me to look like an ass who can't get my shit together, especially since I'm interning where he works when he's NOT professor-ing and might ultimately end up getting a job there.

So, schadenfreude with me, TQC -- what is the biggest fuckup you have ever committed with regards to your learnings at the place where learnings are had? Have you ever actually literally failed a class?

should i pull an all nighter? i have 2 classes but i don't really need to pay a lot of attention to either of them (1 is a class that i am auditing and the other will most probably end up just being a free-for-all discussion about rape) and i do not feel like going to bed now or any time soon.

I feel like there was a movie around the time when 12 Monkeys came out that I kept confusing it with 12 Monkeys (hello awkward sentence!) but I can't remember what it was called or if it even exists.

Is there a movie that I'm describing or have I made it up?

It wasn't Se7en, Fight Club, or 5th Element.

/vague question is vague
/in before "whatwasthatone


Are there any movies that you conflate?

I had a hard time remembering which move was 5th Element and which movie was Event Horizon a few years ago.

EDIT:

OH MY GOD GUYS! My memory card errored and there were a ton of pics on there! I can't get it to fix and it wants me to format it. If I format it, is there a way to still get the pictures off of it?? HALP

Where is the first place that you look for your remote control when you lose it? (For me it's either the couch or the kitchen)

Where is the strangest place you have found something that you lost?

Should I Drink It?

A few days ago while cleaning out my basement, I drank about a quarter of a bottle of diet raspberry iced tea. Then I got down to business, closed up the bottle, and put it down in a chair. Today I found that previously neglected bottle of tea and would like to drink it. What are the odds that it has gone bad/is too bacteria-ridden? (Keep in mind that my basement is fairly chilly, though certainly is no refrigerator.)

If I drink it, will I turn into a radioactive tea leaf or just die? Or will I remain my boring old non-radioactive self?


Are you picky about your water/drinks?

(I generally only drink water if it is really cold and has only been sitting for less than half an hour. I'm also really sensitive to strange tastes in my water, but that may be because everything tasted like shit about a week before I was diagnosed with the diabeetus. Traumatizing.)

Speaking of all-nighters, life is tough.

I'm currently trying to finish a paper. It's 4am. When this is done, I have some reading to catch up on for the same class as this paper I'm writing. I have a class from 11-12, and the class the work is for is at 3:30. I would like to make it to the 11:00 class if I can. Let's assume I finish the paper around 4:30 because I'm almost done. If you were me, would you do whatever reading directly after the paper and then nap sometime between 12 and 3:30, or would you finish the paper, sleep some before the 11 class and then read between classes?

I can't not sleep because once I get to the 3:30 class I'm stuck in learningland until 6:30 and then I have to go somewhere afterwards.

Let’s say that you are a guy and a female coworker of yours invites you out to hang with her and some of her friends.   The evening is going to be dinner, drinks, and a late night movie. You show up at the restaurant and notice that there are five others there and they are also all girls. You get to talking to them and find out that several of them have boyfriends that are not in attendance.

You were not on the original invite list (which was all girls) and were invited day of by your coworker. 

What would you think is going on here and what do you do now that you are already at the restaurant?

Are there any quick remedies for this while I wait for the cold meds I won't be getting until about five this evening?

TCQ,

I have Jiffy Raspberry Muffin mix, which has a tendency to not turn out to make the best muffins ever. I would like the best muffins ever. I was thinking of throwing in some vanilla extract, frozen blueberries, and maybe some caramelized sugar on the top.

If you were trying to make the best muffins ever, from a mix, what would you doctor it?

I need to clean out my closet a bit, but I'm one of those people who can't very easily convince myself that I need to get rid of an item of clothing. So, what should my rule be:

If I haven't worn it in three months, donate it?
If I haven't worn it in six months, donate it?
If I haven't worn it in one year, donate it?

How do I get myself to let go of some clothes my mom gave me? I kept the purse she gave me when I graduated college, but I think it's time to let everything else go.

Inspired by the "can one believe in a Christian god and evolution" question:

Does Christianity make absolutely NO sense to anyone else in here?

I guess my brain isn't wired to think that praying to a "being" will accomplish anything. I was raised Catholic and kinda played along for some years, but I gave that up.

I mean, if someone believes in it and it does them good and makea their life better, then more power to them, but for ME, it just doesn't make sense.

Thoughts? Arguments? Wank?

Lodging in NYC

Can anyone recommend a place to stay in New York between April 29th and May 2nd (Thurs/Fri/Sat nights) for two people? We are looking to keep it $100/night or less, Manhattan or Brooklyn preferred (but west Queens or South Bronx also OK), and no hostels unless it's a private room/ensuite. I may be asking too much, but as long as it's somewhat clean, no foot-long rats, etc., I think it would be all right.

And yes, I know there are dozens of hotel review sites; but I trust the wisdom of the thequestionclub community. :)

Links to other communities where I could get more advice are also welcome. Thanks!

EDIT: OK, OK... Under $150 a night?

(I stayed at a boutique in Chelsea once and the rate was $99... but I was invited to speak at a company's conference and that must have been the company's discounted rate for using that hotel often.)

Where is my camera hiding?

DK/DC- Why can't people drive in the rain? Last night I was driving home and it wasn't pouring, just a steady stream of rain and I would go past people going 40 in a 65 zone. I don't get it...

EDIT: Okie I found my camera. It was under a seat in my car. I guess it fell out of my bag one day and I should have looked there sooner. But now I have a new question. My car is always parked outside and it's been really cold lately. Im on the east coast where we have had the bad snow storms. I turned my camera on and off and that worked fine, but will it be damaged from being out in the cold so long? I believe it's still under warranty if that matters

My SO and I are thinking about buying a home as a project / investment. It is in a neighborhood with homes that are worth money, but this one will go for FAR less than market value (foreclosure & very old).  It is in BAD condition.  BAD.  It needs a full remodel and at least a small addition to the home.  We have the funds to do this.  We both love home projects.

Do any of you have any experience with a home remodel?  Or "flipping" a house?  Did you get your money out of it?

Please share your advice, experienced or not. ;)

I need to make some extra money, and as a SAHM I would love to be my own boss.

What really weird thing has happened to you today? There was a knock at the door, and I looked out the window and a creepy clean white van with no side doors or windows was parked outside our house. I put our three year old in the bathroom downstairs and told her to be really quiet, and closed the door. I went to answer the upstairs door, and it was this creepy ass man asking if he could talk to me about rocks. I said no and asked him to leave. He sat in his van for a little bit and then drove off. I am so scared because our old roommate witnessed a murder, and today is the first day of court after the defense took a 2 1/2 year break to gather evidence and what not. I'm so scared. My hubby is rushing home to take me and the kid off to buy servaliance cameras and a gate for our driveway.

A crazy idea came into my head lately. Packing some essentials, catching a random flight (I'm in Scotland so somewhere in Europe would be feasible) and aimlessly wandering around for an indefinite length of time. Working when necessary. Hippie style but minus the camper van (or vehicle in general as I don't drive)

The reality being that I worry & stress to the point of paranoia so while the thought really appealas to me, it does scare me a bit, I'd be reliant on public transport & I'd be starting out with have my savings of £500 ($755)

I am contemplating putting up ads for cleaning homes or something similar to make a little extra money outside my part time job, but I don't know how good of an idea that is. But between school and work I have a limited schedule. I'm thinking something I could do just a couple hours a week for a little extra money.

Question:

Months ago I went to the doctors & while I was there I asked the doctor for an STD test. He gave me some paperwork to take to the pathology center to get the test done. Well, I forgot about it & months later I've found the paperwork again.


So, 2 questions (seeing as the doctors are closed now)
1. Can I still use this paperwork (complete with doctors signature) 5 months later to get the tests done?
2. If not, do I have to go back to the doctors to book another test, or can I just go to the pathology center?

I'm in Australia, if that matters any.

If you don't give a fuck about video games, can you tell me where is a good place to buy some pillows that are not too expensive and do not necessarily look like bed pillows? I've been crashing on the livingroom couch for the past two years (my brother has back problems and commandeered my bed, which I was mostly cool with since my room had been reduced to public storage and our couches are comfortable) but today I finally got a futon and moved into my sister's room... but I don't want to steal the living room pillows forever, that's so unclassy. But I've never bought pillows before. Would department stores have some that are not shit but also not $200 each? Or what? I don't know! D: Being a grownup is confusing sometimes.

I studied quite hard but memorization is just NOT my thing. I'm an English major, Sociology minor; these things do not require memorization really, but rather grasping of concepts and interpreting.

Should I email the prof about it? Or just see how it goes?

It was for Art History & I know I got 90% of the titles wrong and 100% of the dates wrong; the only thing that MAY save me is my interpretations of the pieces... but even so, I doubt I passed.

I just feel really bad, like she will think I don't respect her or the class and didn't put in any effort. She saw my studying flash cards before the exam and said "GREAT IDEA", but obviously it did not work. I just want to know her opinion on my grade and whether or not I should withdraw from it, or if she thinks I could pull through. I also want to let her know I DO enjoy the class and DID try really hard, especially to study but nothing stayed with me.

I go to a small college, my class has about 20 people in it.

If I do email her what should I say?

Hi TQC! Guess what? My spring break starts tomorrow, yay! Campus has had three power outages in the last three weeks, all on Thursday. Each time they have canceled day classes. I want to go home REALLY BADLY. So, TQC, my question to you is, in what awesome way can I [with or without the help of others in the building] induce a power outage?

Non-srs answers only, obv.

have you ever been in a situation where you fell out of love with your s/o, broke up with them, agreed to hang out a few weeks/months later to "talk" and ended up sleeping together?

did it bring any old feelings back? or did it just validate the fact that you definitely no longer want to be with them?

Dear doctor TQC, I have been diagnosed with bronchitis and am an three different medications for it, none of which are a cough suppressant. I'm taking Sinugular, an anti-bacterial, and I'm also on an inhaler. Do you think it's a bad idea to take a 6-hour cough suppressant so that I can get some shut-eye? Or do you think that there would be some very bad unknown side-affects?
