[OT] Help me I'm Melting!!! by
Catnipped
I think my frickin' air conditioner is going out (great - right before a
holiday!!). It's 91F degrees in the house right now even though I have the
thermostat set on 70F. There is no way I'm going to get an AC maintenance
guy out here before Tuesday without mortgaging my soul to pay for it! ...

[OT] Help Needed by
CatNipped
I read here that someone had a problem with Microsoft XP and loading Service
Pack 2 - causing their whole computer to crash. Well, my daughter is in
town with the kids this week and she brought her computer for DH to fix.
Not only did it hose her system, but it also hosed her CD ROM drive...

Christine's parents didn't have insurance on her and are being hit hard
with funeral costs ($8000), the costs of the "Life Flight" helicopter
rescue, and the hospital and doctor bills (her father, Chris, lost his
job after Katrina and they don't have any insurance).

[OT] Help! Medication question by
[email protected]
Does anyone here take Pepcid for acid reflux? (The chemical name for
the drug is famotidine, in case it is marketed under a different name
outside the US.)
If so, do you know if there is a suggested limit as to how long one
should be taking it? (ie, how many days?) Can it lead to...

[OT] Her in the Sky by
Yowie
Even before I knew the word 'witch' or 'pagan' I used to talk to the moon
(and Antares, my favourite star), have always looked out for Her in the sky.
My Full Moon ritual is barely a ritual, but I've shared it with the Yowlet,
and now we both go out and howl and the moon when She's at her...

[OT] Heroquest by

Dumb question: We've been given a copy of the game HeroQuest and StarQuest,
but they're in German. Does anyone happen to have either of these games and
if so would they be willing to scan in the rules (in English) and e-mail
them to me (mind the spamtrap) please?
I can probably decipher the...

This'll probably be appreciated mostly by Americans, since it seems

[OT] Holiday Recipes by
Yowie
Haven't had a recipe thread here for *ages* (which in one way is a good
thing, I guess), but I like our recipe threads and felt like starting one,
troll or no.
Its getting close to the Holiday season, thought we might share a few of our
favourite recipes that we traditionally use to celebrate...

[OT] Horrible Experience - Rabid Possum by
Pat[_3_]
While I was trying to go to sleep about an hour ago, I heard loud
noises in the carport. I went out with a flashlight and found a huge
possum, frothing at the mouth with a very hostile demeanor. Normally
possums in the carport do not act this way, they just sort of ignore
me or run off. Not this...

[OT] Houston is Ready to Boil Over by

I'm afraid there is going to be major backlash to the crimes being committed
by Katrina refugees here in Houston. The news keeps stressing the fact that
our murder rate has increased 70% and our violent crime rate has increased
80% since we took in the scum from the Superdome (reports of what...

We just found out we're going to have company this weekend - and, looking at
my schedule, I knew I wouldn't have time to clean the house to my
satisfaction before they get here. So, we bit the bullet, dived into our
MBNA credit card again, and called "Maid Brigade" to come out and clean (3

[OT] How to remove dog pee from wood floor? by
[email protected]
Remember my friend whose dog almost died? He's doing pretty well
now - not back to how he was before, but definitely far from death's
door.
However, his toileting habits have declined, probably because he
has to pee a lot due to being on prednisone. If he's not let outside
often enough, he can't...

A cowboy was tending his herd in a remote pasture when a brand-new BMW
advanced out of a dust cloud towards him.
The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban
sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy, "If
I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have...
