Yes it's a scam the website is probably a hijack for malware or something like it. The emails are all scripts/automated and the reason it asks if the product is what you listed is because that's how the scripts seem like it is not just some automatic thing.

I used to get paid per click for some porn site affiliate stuff and some questionable methods were used at times.

So I'm quickly becoming a raging alcoholic and I need to know whats the best method to keep the stench of alcohol off your breath. Is there some booze that is better for this? I was drinking straight rum and I smell like I was swimming in a vat of it. Same with beer. Is there a booze that doesn't leave a nasty smell on your breath?

It's not that it doesn't leave a smell it's just not as harsh as others. Basically open whatever you are going to drink and smell it, that's what you'll smell like to one degree or another.

Pro tip: People who drink smell like alcohol not from the stuff they drink but from their bodies processing of alcohol. (It's why breathalizers work) (Assuming you are not spilling it on your clothing.) So nothing will make much of difference. As a non-drinker, I can tell you there is nothing that does not make you smell like alcohol. It's kind of like smoking in that regard. Smokers and drinkers are always suprised that people know they have been smoking and/or drinking, but they both make you reek. kapalama fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Dec 18, 2010 |

Basically, all alcohol is going to smell like alcohol. Everything except vodka is going to smell like other stuff, too. The alcohol smell doesn't really last that long, but the other smells stick around longer. Just don't spill any on yourself and you'll be fine. The breath mints or gum or whatever isn't so much to mask the smell of the alcohol as it is to cover up the drunk breath, which doesn't really smell like alcohol. It just smells like really, really bad breath. Edit: What Kapalama said is true, too. Most of the alcoholics I know who drink at work and get away with it don't drink very much at work. You just want to keep the tiniest buzz on. Of course, if you drink much more than that, it's going to be your behavior that gives you away. Stumbling, slurring, saying inappropriate things, and loving up at your job. Eyeball fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Dec 18, 2010 |

Try to make it to lunchtime without a drink if you can. Depending on your job, people will tend to be more likely to shrug off a "has a drink or two at lunch" type of alcoholic than a "drinks in the car on the way to work" type of alcoholic. Alternately, since you are apparently not a full-blown alcoholic yet, maybe it would be better to talk to some kind of professional about what is bothering you. It's not as romantic as developing a drinking problem, and depending on the problem, maybe drinking it away is better than talking about it, but it's something to consider. And don't forget to drink a lot of water. If you don't, you're going to feel like poo poo. Once people start to catch on that you're an alcoholic (and they will, regardless of how well you think you're hiding it) they will still tend to mind their own business, but calling in sick because you're hung over makes it everyone's business, and when people know you have a drinking problem, every time you call in will be attributed to a hangover.

People are already aware of my alcoholism. However, they don't need to know about drinking on the job. I usually hit the booze around 8AM so making it till noon is out of the question. I think I can get by with taking a few pulls on my flask throughout the day. All I do is drive a forklift around so I can generally avoid all but the most brief conversations. This is getting into E/N territory so I'm going to stop here.Thanks all!

Wasn't sure if this warranted a new thread in TGD, so I'll try here first: Any pharmacists in the house? My boyfriend just got a script for generic Vicodin, 5mg/325mg hydrocodone APAP. It looks like this: https://wi.somethingawful.com/01/013e294fae4ea05c9f3ce9daf8a07ee51db39518.jpg Those pink specks are just bizarre; I've never seen a pill like it. And while I'm not a "think of the children!!!" type, the poo poo does look an awful lot like candy. Why does it look like that? I Googled it but all I could find was one Yahoo Answers-type site [insert "how is babby formed" joke] saying the pink stuff is the acetaminophen. I'm inclined not to believe that, as he had surgery last year and had a cornucopia of painkillers with acetaminophen, and none looked like that.

Question about taking photos of possessions for insurance purposes- is there any particular way we should go about taking photos in the (hopefully) unlikely event that someone should break into our new home and clean us out? Is serial number + actual photo usually enough for the insurance companies?

Tell them when you are checking it in and put a note in their attached to it saying its a toy. That way they won't freak out when it comes up but they will probably open your bag up so best to have it easily acessible.

Friend sent me an Xbox question and I'm stumped:quote:We're having some problems here. It started off OK when we were with O2, then about 7 months or so ago, we set up with Virgin Cable. We had it connected through the wireless router, but the connection was dreadful, the lag so vast that games were unplayable. I then bought a long ethernet cable which went out of son's bedroom window, and through a vent to the living room where the router is located. This improved things up until about a month ago. Being kicked out of a game for poor connection is a regular occurence; about 10 times an evening. So, thinking that the outside cable might be weathered and perhaps suffering some pinch damage from having the window closed on it, I bought a new cable (15m) and routed it through the floorboards/ceiling. This again improved things for a few days, but it's back to being useless again. He has this issue regardless of whether the other computers in the house are being used, so it's not a matter of something else eating all the bandwidth. Any ideas?

Ok so I have the worst type of pimple imaginable. I dont have much of a pimple problem, but when I do get pimples, they are usually small and in localized areas. Well...not this week. The pimple is right on my nose [a rarity] and its large. The problem is, is that theres no black head or white head. But I can tell there is pus under the surface, because the top of it is whiter. But still, there is no way i can pop it or get the puss out of there because its still "dormant" you can say. Its been here for 3 frustrating days, Tuesday is coming closer, and im going to meet a girl that day. How do I get rid of it? It looks like it wants to stay there for a long time but I just cant let that happen

Soak a washcloth in hot water and press it to the pimple; if you keep doing that, it will eventually force a head to appear so you can pop it. Nuclear option: a dermatologist can inject something into it, but you probably couldn't get that done in time. Edit: slather it in benzoyl peroxide cream as well (like Oxy). Do be aware that b.p. bleaches textiles, so put it on at night and use an old pillowcase. Drimble Wedge fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Dec 19, 2010 |
