Two of my good friends who are dating are spending a lot of time together over the last half-year, and have sort of forgotten me until very recently. I realised only now that I feel bitter about that.

How can I get over this?



What makes you feel bitter?

I want to switch from Verizon to AT&T and take my number with me. I'm currently on a family plan with my dad and sister, but I'm not sure when my contract expires. Will I owe a disconnect fee?

Is the iPhone worth the $90ish monthly bill?

Would you stay with the company that has phones you hate but your dad pays the bill, or go with a company with a phone you love but you have to start paying on your own?


ETA: Do you think TQC will ever get a new layout?

Are the vampires in Anne Rice's novels affected by holy water and crosses?

The winner of MxNTM was announced last week and I wanted to share the portfolio for the first winner Mariana .

Why do people always use chicken eggs when referring to "eggs", and not another type like turkey eggs?

i just heard someone say, "well, pork is the third white meat."
i'd heard it call the other white meat but third??

tqc:
i'm assuming chicken is still one, but what is the OTHER other white meat?

Which would be more invaluable to you on a long (3+ hour) flight:

Good quality noise-cancelling headphones (and enough batteries to last round-trip), OR

Ear plugs and sleeping pills/some kind of medication to make you drowsy?


I love my Philips headphones so much, and meds-that-make-you-drowsy never work for me anyway.

what do you get from dairy queen?

do you even have a dairy queen where you live?

My mom and I just had a bit of an argument. I'm wrapping gifts for her and my sister. I have a 4 year old nephew. My mother and sister told me to label EVERY gift as from Santa. I told her that that was pointless and she told me every gift has to be from Santa in order for him to believe in Santa. A few issues.

1) My nephew is going to get gifts from Santa at 4 different locations. That's a little weird.
2) This will mean my nephew will think that not one member of his family got him anything, just Santa.

As he is 4 and the youngest child on both sides of his family, he's getting a good 60 from both sides put together. Does he really need 60 gifts from Santa and Santa only in order to believe?

Also, on this subject, when did you stop believing in Santa and what tipped you off?

Which of these affectations of a potential SO would be dealbreakers, or, in other words, what style quirks or qualities can you just not put up with in a potential significant other?

I have a cold that isn't entirely debilitating (at least not after I took some cold medicine), and I'm debating what to do tonight. A few of my friends that I don't see very often are going out drinking later, and I'd like to go with them, though I'm not sure that imbibing alcohol would help the cold issue. Or maybe I should just stay in bed watching stuff on netflix and ask my parents to bring me food.

What's it to be, TQC?

(And if I stay in, what movies/tv shows should I watch on netflix that stream instantly?)

Is anyone going to be making a 101 things in 1001 days list? There is more info here.
What would you put on the list? Do you think you would be able to complete it?
If you have a list will you show me?

I just made my first list and I am really excited to be doing it. I am waiting until the new year though due to christmas, family in town, birthdays, and moving.
This is my first list.

I'd like to buy my grandmom a couple of DVDs. Do you guys have any ideas? I'm looking for something more current. Minimal cussing. She likes true-life crime stuff, but that's not a requirement. No holiday stuff.

Do you say "cussing" or "cursing"?

Have you ever tried or wanted to recreate an old (famous/infamous or totally not famous) photo picture or whatever?

If you were in a remake of an old photo or painting, who would you want to be in the photo/painting?

What did you just call me?

making tuna noodle casserole. what kinds of good stuff should I put in it?

ETA: Also, are you a good judge of character?

I have a technical question.

I have an old Magnavox TV. It's probably from the mid-90s. I have a Sony DVD player my parents gave me. It's only a couple years old.

Everything was working fine. At Thanksgiving my mom and I were going to watch a DVD. A buzzing sound came out of the speakers when we put the DVD in. It's not a quiet buzz that could be ignored. After playing with some wires, I unplugged the red colored connection and the buzzing stopped. We had sound, but only from the left speaker, which wasn't a big deal unless there was a scene where sound came from the right speaker, and that couldn't be heard well.

I just put back in the original cords (I'd taken them to work). The buzzing occurred again, but not as loud, but it's still annoying. It goes away if I take out the red connection, so there's no sound from the right speaker on the TV.

What is causing this, the TV or the DVD player? I don't think it's the cords since I've tried this on two different cords. Is there a way I can fix this? If so, how?

TL;DR: One of the speakers on my TV messes up when I play a DVD. What is going on?

If you're trying to do laundry and you find that both the washer and dryer are full of someone elses clothes (your roommates/family members/whatever) from who knows when (as in, they're not currently in the process of doing laundry, it's just been left) what do you do?

Do you finish doing it for them? As in, take the dry clothes out of the dryer, throw the wet stuff in and dry it for them?
Or do you throw the stuff out of the washer, wash your stuff, put theirs back in/throw their stuff out of the dryer, dry your stuff, put theirs back in?
Or do you just dump it all on the floor?

What's the proper protocol? My roommates is always leaving her stuff in the machines for days on end and I don't know if pulling her stuff out and putting it on top of the machine is rude. I feel like doing it for her is rewarding her for being too lazy to go downstairs to do it herself.

( Or am I crazy? )
