Certain-Dri, which is for people who have sweat problems that regular antiperspirants don't handle adequately, has in their instructions to apply it before bed, and lasts about 3 days. That stuff was weird. It was thin, like water, and would sting slightly after application. While it did a great job helping with…

That's the definition of dying well. May we all find ourselves capable of that kind of heroism.

Without knowing where you or the author are from, mentioning a person's Christian faith isn't at all uncommon for obituaries in the south. Anyone dies and the paper will quote someone as saying, "he was a good christian" as often as "he was a good student." On the other hand, you'll absolutely, positively, never see…

Do liberals make as many crazy statements as conservatives? Am I just in a bubble where I don't here them? I live in the bible belt and attend church regularly, but still don't get how people take these guys seriously. A message from my pastor.

I grew out of stuffed animals, but mac n' cheese is still a hobby of mine.

I didn't notice that. What I noticed, and had to re-read to understand, was that question number 5 was misplaced. At first look I was trying to figure out what 7x(_x_)=21x7 5. (21x3)/_=7 meant. I was reading 7 5. as 7.5 and trying to figuring out what two numbers multiplied by 7 would get 21x7.5, and how the…

They weren't teens, but that scene where Jim Brown was throwing these hand grenades down these airshafts. And Richard Jaeckel and Lee Marvin were sitting on top of this armored personnel carrier, dressed up like Nazis... sniff, and Trini Lopez... sniff, He busted his neck while they were parachuting down behind the…

The version of that belief I've seen from an anti-vax friend, is that antibodies in vaccines are fake and one-size-fits-all. "Why would you put unnatural antibodies into yourself?" was an actual comment from her. She felt it was better to get the illness and generate her own custom antibodies. And she's a…

Four cubit feet? Who are we, Noah?

Since putting VNC on, I've done the 8.1 update. I had assumed the 8.1 update had happened after the computer's initial boot when it checked for updates. I then realized it was something I had to ask for specifically.

Hmm. I'm not getting it to work. Just as in the image above, the checkboxes are all greyed out. List Apps shows a bunch of stuff, but I'm not seeing how to activate the checkboxes.

As a new Win8 user, is it normal that when I install a program that has more than one component, like TightVNC for remote control, I get about eight new tiles on my start screen? With Win7 and earlier, they were just in a folder on the start menu. This is going to get messy fast if those can't be somehow grouped…

Insertion requires a modesty screen, but the rest doesn't?

It's a beautiful song, but even after watching the video, I don't think I understand it. Is it a breakup song? If so, why is she giving up on him when she would follow him anywhere? It seems like the mourning a death scenes fit the lyrics the best. I must be dead inside, because I just can't understand the…

High schools are NICE these days. This video at mine would have been walking down one long straight hallway with classrooms on each side, up one level, back down a long straight hallway with classrooms on each side, repeat one more level. Oh, and with a gymnasium and cafeteria sticking out to one side. All painted…

Here we are 3 months later and I just used my free Logmein to connect to my mom's computer with no problem. Has everybody actually checked to verify theirs isn't still working? At the moment, I'm showing 4 computers that are online that I could connect to. Is it maybe because when they stopped supporting desktop…

I didn't have that issue. I recall that differential equations was known as a weed out course, so I took it over the summer at a local state university and transferred the credit. Never got less than 100% on homework and exams the entire session. It was without a doubt the easiest math class of my college…

What do Providentians have against rambunctious kitties?

I get your point, but some words have multiple meanings. I know someone who goes insane at the mention of sustainable design. He says if it's not reproducing itself, it's not sustainable. Organic is similar in that the way it's mostly being used now is as a marketing term.

Our receptionist would bring her son to work with her if there was a problem with daycare. He'd sit by her desk and read or color in the break room. Nobody batted an eye at it.
