Voting Question: What do you think of the beginning of my story?

It's a little long, I know, so please don't answer unless you're want to read it all. It was autumn when Ezra came back to me. The leaves had just begun to fall; released from their four-month perch on those dauntingly tall maple trees—the only kind that grows around here. They enveloped the sidewalks and streets in a blanket of yellow, orange, red, melancholy shades of pink. Despite the township’s best efforts to clear the streets, fresh spreads of leaves would sprawl the town mere hours after the leaf blowers’ nightly shifts. An endless supply of leaves seemed to be stored somewhere in the clouds that hovered perpetually over Tinsel. Our tiny, obscure town is known for its gorgeous autumns for at least a fifteen-mile radius. Well, probably less. There’s not much else around here, you see. The map taped above the back post of my mother’s bed says the nearest city is approximately 322.4 miles away, which she thinks would take days to reach in our ancient, dilapidated little Buick. She’s obsessed with travel, my mother. When I was little, she’d glance at me playfully across the kitchen table while she sipped her morning coffee and I nibbled my cereal, set down her mug on the bright blue coaster, and narrate her deepest, most intrinsic dreams. One in particular always caught my ear, roused my imagination, made me think of a place beyond the sometimes cage-like walls of Tinsel. That one secret fantasy of hers involved the two of us packing up and leaving; going some place far, far away, where there were streetlights, cars, streets teeming with billions of people. It was all merely talk, though. My mother was far too timid, too apprehensive of the boundless world that surrounded her. She needed barriers, a clear outline of the world she lived in. Tinsel, with its radius spanning exactly three miles, its four shops (a laundromat, a bookstore, a pizzeria, and a wrapping paper store) housed in one, interconnected building in the center of town, and that homey, familial sense of community created by the increasingly small population, gave her just that. Tinsel seemed to be encircled by an impenetrable sheen that rejected any word or influence of the outside world. It was simply frozen in time, everything right down to the bark on the maple trees and the very elderly residents perversely stagnant. The only thing that really did change in Tinsel were the seasons, bringing with each of them their own exquisite touch to the town’s lushly green landscape and brisk, willowy aura. The residents of Tinsel seemed to I first met Ezra when he moved to Tinsel with his father from one of the big northeastern cities that sporadically dotted the outer corners of my mother’s map. He was a curious fellow, attracting the speculative eyes of my gossipy, narrow-minded classmates. His height, for one thing, caused the tiny, mousy sixth graders to cower in fear any time he strode confidently, yet quietly, in his signature Ezra fashion, down the halls. His abnormal legginess also forced the teachers into giving him the very back seat in every class, as to not obstruct the view of the equally intimidated front-row students. That, in fact, is the very way I came to know him. Saturday morning roused me with a soft, melodic birdsong drifting between the invisible cracks of my bedroom window. My mind was still submerged in the dreamlike haze of sleep. As the lovely, sweet song permeated my subconscious, my mind’s eye conjured an image of two birds nestled beside each other on an elongated branch outside my window. The pair bore a striking resemblance to one another. They both were swaddled in a silky sapphire coat, with sharp, darting black eyes the size of beads. One was caressing a trio of eggs in a manner of guarded protectiveness only a mother could possess. The other was perched beside her, his impossibly tiny orb of a head bent towards hers, as though he were whispering in her ear. They reminded me of a place I’d been to long ago, though, in my daze, I couldn’t quite recall where. I could suddenly feel a soft, warm hand twined with my own, its thumb caressing the base of my palm. The movement was oddly familiar, reminiscent of a way it had been held in a time now alien to the present day. I couldn’t quite remember how long these strange, surreal dreams had pervaded my mind. Every now and then a dream so vivid, so unequivocally real would invade my subconscious and leave its mark upon my memory, convincing me that fantasy had in fact been reality. Such was the case, so often did I imagine, with everything that had happened with Ezra. He seemed to belong to some parallel dimension where the most individual, exquisitely unique people existed. Ezra was a truly real, full person; he was always far beyond my reach. He wandered throughout the farthest corners of my mind; rarely did he ever surface to occupy an actual thought. Still, I thought of him often, wondering mostly where he was now, what he was more

Resolved Question: Where can I order personalized travel coffee mugs online?

I've never celebrated Valentines Day before, but I wanted to get my boyfriend a gift. Flowers and chocolate don't last..plus I'm sure a guy wouldn't appreciate flowers. So I thought about getting him a travel coffee mug with his name on it. I can't find a good website. Anyone know any? more

Resolved Question: How to get the tea taste out of my coffee mug?

I have this great traveling coffee mug, which seals shut and has an opening to sip from. This opening (primarily) and the rest of the cup stinks like this tea I let sit in it one day a few weeks ago. I've hand washed it a half dozen times, dish washer, also soaked it in Epsom salf. My coffee still taste so gross, like this crazy tea I once had. How can I salvage this mug!?? more

Voting Question: McDonald's coffee - Cups they will refill?

I brought in my travel mug and asked for a cup of coffee and put my cup on the counter (hadn't been in a McDonald store in awhile). The lady looked at my cup but then got their own styrofoam cup and put coffee in it. Is there anyway to reuse cups rather then putting another styrofoam one in the garbage EVERY time you buy a cup of coffee?! Better yet, is there a way of doing that and paying less because they aren't out the expense of a cup.. like gas station have a cheaper refill cup price. Is there a cup I can buy that is McDonalds approved? Anybody have solutions for me? I really like McDonald's coffee now, but at $2+ a large cup... well, it's kinda expensive. Is there a monthly coffee club (pay a monthly fee and you get free/discounted coffee, etc)? I am a truck drivers wife and we go together, so it's always different locations. BTW I love coffee... I like it hot, strong, and fresh.. I've been getting some rather old coffee at some McDonalds, and some that is thin as dirty water (with that bitter taste that says they reran the grounds)... I don't know what do to, but at $2+ a cup I feel like I'm getting ripped... what to do...I have tried Burger King and they do make a good cup of coffee too. Do you know.. is it an instant-serve machine? We just don't find them as often as McDonald and if it's morning I prefer to go to McDonalds for breakfast.. BK taste like fake eggs.Forgot to mention, we drive truck.. and not a dedicated route.. so we're always somewhere new, or it's a long time in between being in the same place.. hard to keep track of who puts heart into their coffee (keeps it fresh & doesn't try to reuse grounds) and who doesn't care. I put some into the GPS but I don't have the extra memory cards.. not to mention they may change employees in between visits...le coq - Have you tried their $1 side salad lately? It is a beautiful salad! I get it whenever we go for lunch... their ranch dressing is not so good.. makes it easier to use less than half a packet... who could use a full one?! Their fries are terrible! They taste okay hot, but have you ever tried them cold? They taste like styrofoam. If I'm going to have french fries they have to taste safe even cold. I only know of one place that does that - Checkers (fast food). I see them in the south/east of the US... but no truck parking.Vince - You either did not read the questions or you are stealing. Mc. Donalds will refill your foam up as many times as you want while you are there for that visit. Once you walk out the door with your cup they no longer refill that cup. On your next visit you must buy another cup of coffee and they will again refill it while you are there. But each visit results in throwing away a foam cup. I am trying to use a plastic reuseable travel cup and they still pass me a foam cup. more

Resolved Question: Moving to Vancouver BC from Ontario?

Hello, I am a 24 year old man who currently lives in Ontario, Canada. I have cerebral palsy and I am on disability. I live in a small, uninspired, boring, jobless and depressing town which I have lived in for about 5 years. I want to move!!! BADLY!!!!!!!! I am preparing to take my GED exams in a couple months here though. When I have my GED papers; I want to move to British Columbia maybe in the early second half of 2010. I have heard good things about BC regarding the climate, people, fun activity, and job opportunities and I would like to go there and make a clean sweep of my life. My goals are to go to school there and build a life for myself. Get into a career in medicine. While I am there; I want to makes new friends and settle down. Perhaps even open a small business. The town I currently live in is not populated by friendly, warm, and engaging people. Quite the opposite! When I moved here from another part of Ontario; I quickly noticed that people here are rather unfriendly, tight lipped, narrow minded and awkwardly anti-social. I visited here in the early 90’s and between then and now, it is just the same. Except for the fact that there are faster computers and a new stadium. I meant, the people are the same. There is very little to do here for entertainment too. Sorry for being negative, but that is pretty much how it is. I have heard and read very similar views on this town over the years. In the mean time; I need some advice on long distance moving. I really don’t know how to move long distances all by myself! The plan is to move myself with the Greyhound bus. Perhaps have a family member hold onto some of my things I can't really take right away. Non essential stuff like: books, stereo, game console, spare computer, ETC. And return later on the bus to pick it up bit by bit or have them ship it to me. As a student; I can use my ID and travel to BC from here one way with every bit of $100. That is fine by me. No big deal. Problem is: 1. How do I search for and secure an apartment in BC all the way from here!? 2. Where (which town) do I find a one bedroom apartment for around $550 per month? If “push comes to shove”; I would be perfectly willing to share a large two bedroom apartment with a roommate taking up the second room to help pay the bills. 3. I currently have on my hands; an apartment which is fully furnished! HERE in Ontario! Sadly I know I can only take a small portion of my belongings which I spent years accumulating. But I have this apartment to deal with; I can’t take it all with me. I am planning my future, I have to bite the bullet and say goodbye to a large chunk of my furnature. I can’t just leave my bed, table couch and everything else for my landlord to clean up/dispose of. That is not the act of a good tenant! I’m not a deadbeat tenant. 4. I have a 5 1/2 year old pet cat, which I love dearly. Greyhound won't let animals on board. And leaving her behind is not an option, not to mention cruel and unusual to the little beastie. What shall I do? I am on disability at the moment so I am limited money wise. 5. When I get there; I will quickly go to a local thrift store and purchase the following things for my apartment. Each are common and mostly inexpensive items: -Bed -Kitchen table with chairs -Dresser -Couch & arm chair -Coffee table -Desk & chair -Lamps -bookcase -Dishes, bowls, glasses, and mugs -Pots and pans -Forks and knives -Toaster oven -Teapot and kettle -phone -Small TV set and table -shower curtain Thanks for any help you could give me in planning my move to British Columbia! I appreciate all the advice I can get. more

Voting Question: Do you like the excerpt?

The scent of coffee beans eluded him away from the cold air sweeping across his face from the open window. He slowly shuffled his feet one at a time out of the bed and planted them on the bitter carpeted floor. About to investigate the delightful smell, he heard a call coming from the suite’s kitchen, “Are you up yet---,” Kasha yelled “I made breakfast” “I’m awake, but if I come out there and your eggs are on the stove I’m jumping out the living room window nine stories to hopefully my death” “No, I got something else on, you know---the rednecks perfect breakfast” Bacon slept on a skillet with the grease bubbling on the sides and the meat scrunched itself up. Freshly made coffee sat on the breakfast bar in one of the hotels mugs giving him that at home feeling. Laces of steam rose out of the mug and met with the cool air, dragging it back out the window. He grasped the handle of the mug and sipped it slowly. “Ahhh damn” “It’s just burn nothing to make a riot over” “It was just the abruptness of it, not that it didn’t sting though,” he explained to her Tiny blisters formed on the tip that he kept scraping with his teeth. “Where’d you put the ID’s?” he asked “There in the glove compartment down in the car, why?” “We’ll need them to check into another hotel if we need to stop on the way back to Portland” “Oh, well that definitely makes sense” Kasha’s back was now turned to him, her golden wheat hair intertwined in four lace braids, her slim figure not quite hourglass, her gentle hands so placid you could never catch them shaking. Sadly her looks didn’t fit with her story, nor did his concept of living fit with his. It was by chance that they met. Her parents were straight up dead, killed in a shootout at some local retailer store in Chicago. His parents kicked him out three years ago when they decided they’d rather travel the world, yet he always thought they despised going on trips. Both of them looking for a place to go, him fourteen at the time and she thirteen they mistakenly got put at the same booth at a diner on the corner of 5th, back in Portland. He blew on his coffee and sat on the perforated leather chair next to the bay window and looked down at the river. The river was what separated them from the other half of the city as to where the only way of getting there was to cross one of the two bridges or come from the west. He gulped down the last bit of warm coffee, ate his cooled bacon, and sighed.I didn't use eluded wrong look it up it means to avoid or distract from. more

Voting Question: Do you like this excerpt?

Now of course I know there will be common mistakes in this and that you won't know who the characters are, but it's a small excerpt out of the whole thing mainly taking place at the very beginning of the story. Genres are Horror/Sci-Fi; might not seem like it from the excerpt, but it is. Title to give you an idea is Give Me One Reason to Smell a Rose It might sound like a comedy from the title, but actually it's something one of the characters say in the story. It is also a hint or clue to a problem that the main character has to solve which you would have to read more of to find out. Constructive criticism is fine. Enjoy!

Resolved Question: Low-budget family Christmas party ideas?

My family has a Christmas party every year, but it's always kind of a flop. We need some ideas to liven it up. Typically, we have a gift exchange. But our family isn't super tight-knit, so if we buy for specific people, we don't know what kinds of things they like. And if we buy general presents, they are usually crappy (the old "coffee mug and cocoa mix" type thing). My half-sisters don't want to do a gift card exchange because they think that's boring. So we either need to find a much better way to do Christmas presents (we all have very low budgets, by the way), or find another activity to replace the gift exchange. Currently, everyone brings a plate of cookies to share, and that seems to work out pretty well. It's also difficult to find fun activities for everyone, because we have such an age range. Our age groups are 0-5 year olds, 18-25 year olds, 35-45 year olds, and 60-65 year olds. Nothing will hold the attention of the 0-5 year olds, and the 18-25 year olds are spoiled and "modernized" so that very little will hold their attention/keep them happy. Ugh. So we are also looking for some fun activities... we would prefer to find something all the ages can do together, but if they have to be divided by age group, that's okay too. Any theme ideas (low-budget) are also welcome. We've never done a theme party before. However, some family members are traveling a distance with small children, and everyone is interested in keeping things cheap and easy, so something like a dress-up party or murder mystery party would not fly in my family. Also, please keep in mind that we have our party in the evening for about 3-4 hours usually. Thanks so much! more

Resolved Question: Is your husband/boyfriend like a child at the grocery store?

I'm just curious if its only mine that is. When I go grocery shopping alone, I am able to buy enough food for about 2 weeks and spend under 100$. When my fiance comes to the grocery store with me, he throws in 1-3items per-isle that we dont need. Sometimes its not even food items. For example, today we were at the grocery store and he saw some travel mugs (for coffee). He has about 50 of them (no joke). And he went over to the shelf and said "Oh I'm going to need this". I reminded him that he was paying for the groceries, so if he really wanted it he could have it. When I am able to shop for 2 weeks for under 100$.... we bought 170$ worth of groceries today and I hardly have enough stuff to make dinner for the next 3 days.

Resolved Question: Okay ladies, what if YOUR husband did this?!?

My lovely husband was getting ready for work this morning. Usually I make his sandwich but I spaced it this morning, so he was making it himself on the counter, with the sandwich sitting on a paper towel. When he was finished, he threw the paper towel in the trash, and then proceeded to pour his coffee into his travel mug. While he poured, he spilled a little on the counter. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME he reached over into the trash, pulled out the paper towel he had thrown in, and wiped the counter with it! I WAS HORRIFIED! What a pig! This takes my "husband uses the decorative floor mats to wipe his shoes on" to a whole new level!! Wives: Would you hubby do something like this? Husbands: Would you do something like this? (If so, shame on you!) Yeah, I made fun of him until he left for work. :PWow. Some of you people are SO touchy. My husband and I have a great relationship -- I wasn't nagging him or "making fun of him" in a serious way, I was joking with him and teasing him. Yikes, we do it ALL the time. Those of you who don't have enough of a sense of humor to joke around with your spouse are going to end up divorced. Lighten up! It's a JOKE! :POkay, I guess we just have a "special relationship" then because we mess with each other all the time. We pull pranks on each other, jokes, etc. Call one another names joking around. Guess it must not be normal for spouses to be best friends and tease one another. Some of you are strange. O_oLMAO I am not a home maker. I work 55 hours a week. I work more than he does! more

Resolved Question: Please give feedback on my short story, Slave?

The padded chair is too narrow for my fat @ss and lumpy to discourage the longwinded subordinate. The armrests dig into my love handles and I imagine this is how Michael Moore feels when he travels on a plane. Then I imagine how the poor b*st*rd sitting next to him must feel: he knows there’s a chance the plane will drop from the sky and all the investments and the quitting smoking won’t save him from dying beneath 400 pounds of documentarian lard. He wants to ask Moore to tuck his overlapping blubber inside his own space, but instead he just nibbles on dried apricots and wishes those g*dd*mn allergic crybabies hadn’t ruined stale peanuts for the other 99.134 percent of the population. But right now my mind isn’t supposed to wander. I'm supposed to feel inferior from the visitor's side of the mahogany desk. Across it sits a successful man with a successful hairstyle frozen to his successful skull. You can just read the company’s b*llsh*t mission statement in his b*llsh*t eyes. He looks Photoshopped onto a canvas of dated elegance: lots of leather books he’s never read shelved in weathered wood that came from real trees. To him, the diplomas and certificates in expensive frames on the wall say he’s accomplished, educated. To me, they mean student-loan debt. In case I missed the stenciled lettering on his door, a nameplate rests a few inches from me, his full first name and middle initial etched before his last name, all above: GENERAL MANAGER. How pompous, the way he inserts his middle initial as if to boast greatness. I wonder if his friends use his middle initial when they address him. I wonder if he has even one true friend. He offers me a cup of coffee. I say no thanks. I lie and say I don’t drink coffee. Truth is—and he’ll never know this—I tried his brand of coffee before, one night when business was slow and I didn’t have anything better to do but sneak into his office, brew myself a pot of his java , drink it from his mug. It tasted like sh*t and left an aftertaste of sh*t. But he sips away because sh*t doesn't taste like sh*t when you’re successful. He pulls out a drawer and gives me a bottle of Perrier and, God’s honest truth, it’s cold, it’s g*dd*mn cold! I want to ask him how he had a refrigerated drawer installed in his desk but I just enjoy my first sip of water with a sub-6 pH level. “Do you know, Mister Pettigrew, how I rose to the position of general manager?” he asks. Mister Pettigrew. Nice touch. It tells me, Fall in line, join the rat race, one day you, too, can have your own coffee pot at work. I don’t know if it’s the coffee or a lingering effect of his last executive committee meeting, but his office really has a unpleasant scent about it. Bad butter melted into blackened toast or something like that. Whatever it is it makes my gut frown. I say I don’t know, to answer his question, and he tells me about hard work and dedication and a productive lifestyle. I stop listening and think about the great men who’d sat in his chair, men of a bygone age, men of vision. Men who didn’t invent the wheel, but found creative, efficient ways to use the wheel while maintaining personal and professional integrity. Men of an age that died when the Ted Turners of the world sold out to the corporations. Now everything is decision by committee, everybody playing Congress, 100 men and women with fancy diplomas and fancy offices and sh*tty coffee of their own, people who boast expertise on Antarctica because they’ve learned about it in seminars and read about it in magazines but have never felt the bite of an Antarctic breeze. While he talks down to me, I smile. He doesn’t know what it is that I know that he doesn’t and confusion makes his chair feel lumpy, too. He doesn’t understand what I have to smile about. I have no boat, no breakfast nook, no timeshare in the Keys. He talks about ambition, about my lack thereof. He says he’s never known a Mensa member who's worked such a menial job. He wants to know how a guy with a high I.Q. can find happiness making nine bucks an hour. Again, I smile. “May I speak frankly with you?” I ask, and he tells me to please do. “When we speak, my nose points straight ahead. Yours is about a quarter-inch left-of-center. That’s because your neck's strained from looking over your shoulder and from it being in the wringer every day. When you conclude your 70-hour work week, you’ll be too tired to enjoy your family. They’ll cry all over the nice things you’ve bought them. When I wrap up my 40 hours this week, I’ll take my family to a ball game, to the zoo, then out for ice cream. Which one of us do you think will die unhappy? alone? Which one of us is truly successful?” And before he excuses me so he can phone in my termination order to H.R. in private, I see the light reflect a tear or two inside his successful slave eyes.www.myspace.com/prestongoodman more

Resolved Question: What is wrong with me?

I have the most amazing boyfriend in the world. What every girl dreams of as a little kid. He’s Kind, Thoughtful, Polite, Sweet, Amazing, Caring, Honest, Loving, He’s just wonderful. I’ve been through a lot of bad relationships in the past, so bad that I swore off guys. I always ended up with the A**Holes. When I met my boyfriend I knew he was different, and I knew he would be able to bring happiness that no other has even brought to my life. Its really a dream come true. The problem is ME. It seems like EVERYTIME the littlest thing goes wrong, or doesn’t go my way, I get thrown into this emotional wave pool and I go from being happy and laughing to miserable and almost in tears. When my dog needs to go out and I’ve been sitting outside with him for what seems like 5 minutes and He doesn’t come out to sit with me, I get mad, or upset. His friend was over the other day and I got mad because his friend coming inside made my dog cry and bark and then my boyfriend said “looks like we have to take him outside” so I went and he stayed inside and played guitar with his friend. I got mad. They were watching UFC fighting… I got mad. He’s very into the environment so he doesn’t like paper cups (from tim hortons or anywhere) so he’s always trying to get me to drink out of travel mugs. Once he brought me to get a coffee and brought the travel mug and I got mad and didn’t get a coffee and then got mad because he didn’t buy me one anyways. WHATS WRONG WITH ME!?!?!?! I KNOW this behaviour is RIDICULOUS and ABSOLUTELY uncalled for... Im acting like a spoiled brat!! It all happens subconsciously though, and I realize afterward. Could I be acting this way because of my past? Sometimes I fear that this relationship will end up like the others and I’ll end up hurt. I’ve never loved someone this much and I need to find the root of my problem!! This NEEDS TO STOP!!!!!! more

Resolved Question: Any tips for cleaning OXO LiquiSeal Travel Mug?

I bought this mug a few months ago, and everything is great, but it is nearly impossible to clean. I searched online for good ways to clean it, but I only encountered questions regarding the lid (which is difficult to clean, but isn't what I'm asking about). The mug part itself smells horrible. I have cleaned it probably over ten times with scalding hot water and soap, but the disgusting smell of stale, old coffee remains. Does anyone have any tips for how to get the smell out of the mug? It leaves my coffee tasting gross and leftover, and for the price of this mug, I want to actually be able to use it for longer than I have. Thanks. more

Resolved Question: Proof Positive That My God is Real?

Why I know That There is a God and That He Loves Me A Personal Testimony. Several years ago, 100 members of my church were enroute to a bible camp in the Blueridge Mountains of Virginia. They were traveling in a chartered bus. As they sang hymns, Satan was up to his old tricks. You see, the bus driver was an atheist alcoholic socialist and that day he was filling his coffee mug with vodka. As the bus wound up through the switchbacks, the driver got progressively drunker. Then it happened. It was that day that changed this poor sinner's life forever. Entering a particularly tight switchback, the besotted driver finally lost control of the bus and it plummeted 1500 feet down into a ravine where it exploded into a fireball incinerating the flock. The only survivor that day was a young boy who was thrown from the bus by his father seconds before it hit the bottom. This young boy suffered severe brain damage from hitting a rock head first and will have to wear a football helmet and drool cup for the remainder of his life. But his survival proved to me that miracles do happen because God does exist and loves me. The Lord used that accident to bring me back to his flock. Hallelujah! Praise Jesus! Just open your eyes to his miracles and you will see them everywhere. more

Resolved Question: Pick one of these please PLEASE?

Pick your favorite :) 1 I like to ride my bicycle through my neighborhood Tires smoothing down the pale, cracked sidewalk Glancing at people’s open windows, curtains rolled back A quick picture, a window framed snapshot of their lives A young girl dancing and twirling in her pale pink room An elderly couple on the couch sipping from coffee mugs A little toy poodle running from room to room like a maniac Ordinary, seemingly perfect, picturesque lives Funny how everyone wants people to see them that way Funny how people put on a show when the curtains are open When yelling starts, or someone’s crying, the curtains are always closed Like in a movie, when they snap them shut with a ching and a hush Quickly, heaven forbid someone see an imperfect moment I like to ride my bicycle through my neighborhood Tires smoothing down the pale, cracked sidewalk Glancing at people’s open windows, curtains rolled back Guessing what’s happening behind the closed ones 2 (title: Wind) It shelters under a bird’s wing As the animal leaps into the air Breezes through an open window Causing the thin curtains distress Squeezing its way through cracks However small they may be Tearing up the clouds above Making sure they don’t wander off Moving the salty ocean water Pushing and pulling like it’s a game Fighting with a wrinkled old man Ambling along in his puffy winter coat Singing as it travels through the land The leaves of the trees applaud as it passes 3 The coke bottle sits in your hand Tiny baby bubbles rise to the top Pockets of air floating to the surface Pop one by one, quietly dying With more and more baby bubbles Being born every second It’s a circle of life Until you drink the last drop Murdering millions of bubbles In just a few small seconds But, no, you prefer a crueler method Leave the bottle on the counter For a few days, weeks, months So that the tiny planet With its tiny bubble people Become utterly extinct Until you open the next bottle more

Voting Question: I think I was profiled by a cop today.. Do something? Should I shave?

(sorry this is novel :?) I was in Rexbug ID, where I work, and it is predominately Mormon. BYU idaho is there. Well, I have a pretty long beard, mainly because my daughter likes it, and Honestly, I like it. Its grown on me as Iv grown it for my daughter ya know.. So I drive down Main st 6 times a week, at the same times of day everyday. And today there was a cop driving opposite direction, he looks at me, and I give him the "nod" ya know, as a sign of respect. I turn a quarter block up, on the road I work on, As soon as I turned my blinker on, He whips around and speeds up and pulls me over right in front of my work. ( Im a Nurse and it was right in front of my clients house.) I asked him right off why he pulled me over, He said speeding. I know I wasnt, considering I was just slowing down to turn, AND< Correct me if im wrong, he cant use a radar dedector on me while he is traveling towards me.. It isnt accurate is it? Besides the fact he was looking at me, and both hands on wheel, No radar gun? He asks me for license and all, and then comes back a few seconds later, after everything checks out ya know. And he asks to see my tongue and stares me down and all, asks to see whats in my coffee mug, asks if i smoke pot, asks if i smoke cigerettes.... I comply, cause im nice like that. He then asks me, or maybes tells me.. if he can bring his dog and sniff my car.. Im just like... *wtf.* sure.? So he procedes to go through me car, open everything, ya know. Then he comes back, and hes just like.. Ok, you can go. So I ask him, "Do you search everyone you pull over for drugs? Or did i just look suspicious..." and he says " oh no no, Its just protocol, we cant get drugs off the streets if we dont search cars ya know..." And im just like.. Oh, ok.. But thats BS. Just absolute, straight bullshit! But I run into circumstances like this alot around here though... The other day at the grocery store, These two girls selling tickets to the BYU Orcestra or some such, They offer to the FOUR people who walked in before, every one, they completely ignore me, and then offer to the lady directly behind me.. Im just like. WTF I cant be fake tho. i dont know. Anyone who knows me would say that Im the Nicest guy, Im the best husband, Im the most attentive father, Im nearly done with school to get my RN, And every person that sees me or comes across me treats me like im some sort of damned skeazy homeless person. I drive a big jeep. Its pretty nice. Its not a rubicon, But its a great truck and It looks good, granted its realllly dirty. I am pretty hairy, But in a trimmed kind of way ya know. I just am who I am, But it would cause me alot less problem if maybe I conformed ya know... What do you think? more

Resolved Question: Travel Mug under $25?

I'm on the hunt for a leak-proof mug with a stainless steel interior. I would prefer it had a handle. I'm not to big on the Trudeau brand of mugs only because I have had 2 mugs before that the seals on both of them didn't work--at all. I have looked at the OXO leak-proof mug and actually bought it only to find out that it cannot be cleaned properly.

Resolved Question: Leak-Proof Travel Mug, Keeps hot beverages at drinkable temperature?

am in need of a new coffee mug that doesn't leak, and still lets my coffee cool down a bit to a drinkable temperature. Because I tend to fall asleep on the bus that I take to class, my coffee mug has leaked onto my coat and once, onto the crotch of my pants. I have tried multiple methods of preventing this but none have seemed to work so far. Is there a mug that is leak-proof, drinkable temperature promoting, easy to clean, and stylish? My father has been assisting me in my search and he thinks that the Thermos below is the one to beat.
