And then you have Texas, which is in the process of turning all the HOV lanes into "express" toll lanes because public-private partnerships something something vote Republican for Jesus.

Some people choose to handle this by leaving a positive feedback (which you can do unrestricted) but putting a negative review in it and just hope other people will see that.

I have a relatively new wood cabinet that always has that shaved wood smell inside, like the lumber section of a hardware store, and it's so strong that the towels I put in there come out smelling that way. I've tried leaving the doors open to let it air out but no dice. Any recommendations to get rid of the smell?

Update: I think it might be the glue holding the particle board together that stinks so bad, not the wood itself or any varnishes. Still looking for ideas to deal with it.

Okay, I've checked Google, Bing, DDR, videos, images, web, and lots of sites themselves. What I'm searching for is sheet music for Jurassic Park where you can hear what sounds like jingling, but is actually someone uses concert bells (NOT hand bells, this is a metal, keyboard-layout percussion instrument). If you see it and my memory of playing it from high school isn't faulty it's mostly notes in 1/64th. The YT is right where it begins and you have to listen kind of closely, but it's there and I wanted the sheet music for it. It may be mislabeled "Enter the Park" or something, but I believe it's in the main theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CgbtC4Xh00 Any help? EDIT: Sorry, the time part of the link from YT didn't transfer over. It begins around 1:35 and lasts maybe thirty seconds? Comrade Milton fucked around with this message at 07:38 on May 11, 2017 |

Jeb! Repetition posted:It's just not appetizing having all my dish towels and subsequently dishes smelling like wood varnish. The lumber section & wood shavings don't smell like wood varnish. Often cedar or pine chips are used for their scents. Varnish sometimes has a petrochemical-type smell, and is very different. You could either mask the smell with another, try to strip the varnish out of the cupboard, or try coating the wood with something that smells better or has no smell, if whatever type of finish the wood already has will take another layer on top (sometimes a finish will cause a top layer to bead, or not dry).

Thanks. I actually did try under both terms with hard boolean No's to get the loving hand bells to stop showing up. I can't find anything, but this is the first sheet music I've ever not just had given to me and I think my inexperience is what's causing most of the trouble.

If you mean the stuff in the background around 1:33, you're probably looking for the instrument called either tubular bells or chimes.

No, definitely glockenspiel. Chimes sound entirely different and would be impossible to use at that speed and there wasn't a part for tubular bells. OH! YouTube didn't count the time part of the link. It begins around 1:35

I got my wife a skin care pack, some earrings from a designer she loves, and some bath stuff. The last one comes with the commitment that she gets a whole afternoon to herself to enjoy it. Even though our kids are great, her knowing that she can just relax with a guarantee that no one will call on her time for a few hours is a present in itself.

The gift pack is not to bad an idea, she is a professional masseuse (relaxation, not happy ending) so it's hard to "beat" the stuff she gets from colleges, they often exchange massages and whatnot.

syscall girl posted:What's a good Picasa-alike for organizing/annotating image albums? Anyone? It's for an old acquaintance of mine who is trying to take some family photos (some dating back to the 1800s) and write captions on them to distribute them to her extended family. She's like 80-something years old but sharp and has already self-published some of this stuff. She has a facebook (I suggested just using that or instagram) as well as a onedrive (which can do captions) and a google photos account i set up for her (which can't) as well as an old Picasa install. Just looking for the best option for her as I don't use instagram, pinterest or facebook much myself and couldn't say what's best among those obvious solutions. The more I describe this the stupider it sounds. I searched for "picasa like" and ended up finding about windows live photos and acdsee which might sort of work. tl;dr help me find a solution for a finicky old bat to caption some pics

Do otc drugs like NyQuil actually help cure colds, etc, or do they just lessen the symptoms while whatever's killing you burns itself out naturally?

No, or at least not significantly. The coughing and sneezing is only a side product of the actual healing process.

All you need to know about cold and flu medicine is that anything besides pseudoephedrine and pain killers is a placebo.

DXM is legit as a cough suppressant, but if you're having hallucinations, you're taking too much. Even if you're taking the amount your healthcare professional told you to take, that's still too much for you to be taking.

What are products that originally had many executives hesitant to adopt because the ROI could not be accurately measured since the product would primarily improve the customer service experience? Some examples I have in mind are self-service kiosks at fast food chains - many executives were hesitant to adopt because it was cheaper to just hire a real person to take orders and the cost of maintenance and troubleshooting the kiosks would exceed the ROI.

What's the word to use when somebody is more relaxed, more zen about something. Like: "he was XX about it." I'm thinking of a word that's like "philosophical" but that's not it.

Indifferent or apathetic if you want the sort of negative connotation, serene, tranquil, etc if you want a positive connotation. The right word may depend on having some more info. You say zen, which implies maybe most people would be worried or panic about the something, while this person isn't, through ignorance or transcendence, with each one probably needing a different word. Starting with those above and chain-thesaurusing them should get you close.
