Mastiff posted:Okay, but if their website says it was delivered, and it's not there, then it was stolen, right? Or is there a possibility that their website would tell me it's been delivered when it hasn't? This BS happened to us last Christmas. The package definitely didn't get stolen, but they claimed it arrived. I went through all the motions and they did jack poo poo about it for me. I hope it goes better for you.

change my name posted:Is there a word or technical term for eating a large meal, knowing you're full, but feeling hungrier then when you started eating? I've got it pretty bad right now, like I know I'm full but it feels like I'm starving. I dunno a technical term for it, but you probably want to take a look at your carb intake. It's usually the culprit in situations like that.

Unless something fell on the floor that we don't know about... but its just a hint of a smell, almost like someone sprayed too much perfume in the room a couple hours ago and it still hasn't aired out. I had the same thing happen to me, and it turned out I accidentally bought scented trash bags and didn't realise it. You're probably not that dumb, but maybe that's what happened?

So I bought this picture at a garage sale today, and it's a print. There's no signature on it anywhere, but I was wondering if maybe someone recognised it? I know it's a long shot and was most likely just painted by someone totally unknown, but I figure it's worth asking: The photograph doesn't show how bright and strange this thing is. I am so in love with how weird it is.

Elysiume posted:Does anyone know where I could get some good fingerless gloves? Not the hipster crap that doesn't actually provide any warmth. Almost all of what I'm finding is either motorcycle gloves (not very warm, too much padding) or work gloves (same issue). I need gloves that will keep my hands warm but still allow me to type. It's pretty cold and I have mediocre blood circulation. I want them to not go far up my wrist. So I pretty much want these but warm. A lot of the knitted gloves get pulls and wear out really quickly, especially if I'm wearing them often. Use weight lifting gloves! You can get them sorta padded or sorta warm and going as high or low on your wrist as you want, with or without padding.

In my work I come across a lot of names of people living in Australia (I'm in the US). Really frequently I'll see someone whose first and last names are the same, like "Saia Saia" etc and it's definitely not a typo. I can't think of any other examples, but I see them pretty often. I'm assuming this is standard naming practice somewhere in the Pacific, is that right? Any idea which island/country they're from?

I don't like giving people "pretty" gifts, I like giving people stuff they can use. Did they have a registry? Also, did they just move in together/buy a house when they got married or did they already live together?

In that case I think I'd maybe opt for a household gift, but not an appliance. I don't know what kind of people they are, but maybe a set of nice martini glasses? I would have loved to get that as a gift. Definitely check for a registry first though.

kapalama posted:Not necessary a scam, but they definitely require the work from home people to buy materials. Ehhh, I'm gonna partially disagree with you on this one. Sure there are plenty of companies that have taken medical billing and turned it very, very scammy (especially the kind that advertise in cheap magazines), but it's actually a legitimate career and there are legitimate schools (which, yes, do require that you pay up front for your training). I am gonna disagree and say that paying up front doesn't make something a scam. I do medical transcription, and I paid $1600 for five months of training from an actual school. Sure, it was all online, but it was absolutely not scammy at all. I graduated and make $20+/hour working from home, so I don't think a blanketing statement like that really applies. That said, most of those stupid ads are probably either for those things where they pay you to stuff envelopes or you sell crappy crap from their warehouse on your crappy crap website or something.

kapalama posted:My point was that people tend to blanket label the idea that paying for materials makes it a scam, simply because you have to pay up front, when there are lots of people making a living WORKING AT HOME doing something that they had to pay up front for. Oh! I totally misunderstood your point, sorry. I guess I'm just on the defensive because every time my job gets brought up, someone inevitably asks "oh, that scam thing?" when it's very much a legitimate job that pays more than any other job I could get.

change my name posted:Is there some kind of secret for making oatmeal in the microwave without it exploding out of the container? My secret recipe was always to make it in a bowl, one scoop oatmeal and an equal scoop of water. Mush the oatmeal down a bit so all of the oats get wet, then add a little more water as necessary. Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute--should come out perfect and fluffy. (I do 45 seconds but I have a 1300 watt microwave so adjust accordingly.) edit: Then do yourself a favour and add a scoop of ON Rocky Road whey and two tbsp of natural peanut butter. chachu fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Nov 16, 2010 |

Anonymous Robot posted:Maybe not, but all of the dealership cars I've seen are way out of my price range. Is it that unheard of to buy a first car off of Craigslist? I mean, I'm going to get it inspected and get a Carfax report on it before making a purchase. I got my first car from a dealer, a '91 Honda Accord, for $1400 a few years ago. It could definitely be done. I definitely recommend you stick to Honda or Toyota though. I still have that '91 Accord and it's got 205k on it and going stronger than ever (with no major repairs) and my dad has an '88 Toyota Tacoma with 310k on it that he bought for $800. It still runs great (and actually far outlived his '98 Chrysler Sebring).

I just got a Pampered Chef unglazed stone baker thing. I can bake a hamburger broccoli casserole in this, right? I assume I can, but I can't find the answer anywhere. Seems like any mention of a casserole also mentions a glazed dish instead of unglazed.

Slashie posted:I don't really know what all goes in hamburger broccoli casserole, but I wouldn't put anything in an unglazed dish that could stain - so no tomato sauce or stuff like that. Thanks. That's what I was thinking, but I know the unglazed stoneware discolours a lot anyway with a lot of use so it probably wouldn't bother me. I actually found a card of recipes that came with the dish and it recommends cornbread chili pie, so I went ahead and dumped the casserole in. I mean, I can't think of a reason why it would somehow be worse than chili pie or apple cobbler.

Is this a normal temperature? I find myself waking up shivering when he does this. I prefer it at 70 or 71 and upping it a degree or two makes a world of difference for some reason. I think my power company suggests 68° for the heater and 74° for the a/c? I do 71° and find it perfect though.

I bought my husband a BluRay player for Christmas, and it looks like it does youtube videos and some other online stuff but isn't capable of doing Netflix. I'll upgrade and get the Netflix one if it means we can cancel our cable. How good is Netflix? Would that be worth it? The only shows we care about watching new are the new episodes of Futurama and Breaking Bad--how long would we have to wait to watch the new episodes with Netflix?

My mom has MetroPCS for her phone service. Now, her husband died in July, but his voice is still the greeting on her cell phone voicemail. She has to change her voicemail message, but she really wants to record the one she has (or keep it stored to put back on, later) so she can listen to it later, since it's one of the only recordings of her husband's voice that she has. She talked to the MetroPCS guys, but they were unsure if there was any way to record or save a greeting off of voicemail. Does anyone know a way?

OMG JC a Bomb! posted:I've never had any dental problems in my entire life. But today my tongue was poking around the last of my teeth that actually made it above the gumline and just above the gumline there's a huge loving hole. Like, half the tooth isn't there. It doesn't really hurt or anything (although I have been getting minor headaches lately), but it's pretty drat gross. I qualify for dental insurance January 1st, so I'm wondering how this is going to go down. I've never had any dental work done. Will they pull it or what, and how much does this suck on a scale of 1 to 10? Is it just a half-impacted wisdom tooth? I can't really tell from your description. It might just finish growing in on its own. I'm 21 and my wisdom teeth are about halfway through right now. Two of them are just in the state you described--a hole in the gum where only a piece of the tooth pokes out and otherwise it feels like nothing's there.

OMG JC a Bomb! posted:That might be it. I don't know jack poo poo about dentistry other than I brush my teeth and they seem to do pretty well. It's the very last molar in the upper row, and after Googling it for a bit you might be right. It could be that the wisdom tooth is pushing the tooth in question too far up, exposing the underside. If that's the case, I'm probably going to have to get the bastard removed. Oh god, I've heard so many horror stories about that poo poo. Ehh, it sounds nasty, but it's a pretty routine surgery. I'm sure it'll be unpleasant, but probably not a horror story. I'm getting mine out once they're not impacted, and I'm just gonna look at it as a way to take some Vicodin and lay on the couch for a day. v:)v

stubblyhead posted:I won't argue that drinking water and eating vegetables is the better path, but V8 does have 2g of fiber per 8 oz. serving. Yeah, V8 is definitely a better choice than, say, orange juice or any other fruit juice. It's also delicious. I'm just saying it's not the optimal choice. Besides, if you're depending on it for your vitamin intake then I would imagine a lot of the nutrients found in the veggies that get put into V8 are lost in all the processing. Tastes great though, and definitely low in sugar for juice.
