I adopted a cat about 6 months ago, and she's pretty great. Chill, friendly, healthy. But, I think maybe she doesn't have enough to do. She spends most of the time when I'm home either camped out in the hallway squarely outside my door, to make sure she never misses a visit to the kitchen in...

I'm thinking about starting to attend church as a way to meet new people, as I'm in a new area far from my old friends and my family. I'm agnostic, mid-twenties, and I'd prefer to meet people my age rather than twice my age! :p Thoughts? Suggestions on particular denominations for friendliness...

I've adopted a cat. First time owning a cat for me, though I have lived with them before. Indoor-only. She's an older cat, 7 years, very laid-back, quiet, and friendly (though not lap cat status). She seems to be doing well so far, but I want to make sure she gets enough exercise and doesn't...

Hey guys! Quick question- I have a slightly better than average/good credit score, but I can't figure out how to get it up into the "great" category. I follow all the rules- 10-15% debt utilization, always pay on time, several lines of credit, and a small number of credit inquiries (2 approved...

Hey guys, looking for some advice. I have to drive about 20 hours a week from now, and I probably need to sort something out. I'm 6'2" and all legs. Every car I've ever driven, with the seat as far back as is safe considering my arm length, my right knee is always elevated off the seat. This...

Hey all, I have a quick question if you would so indulge me. I'm the oldest of three sons, and my younger brother (the middle one) suffers a bit from that whole 'middle child' thing. He gets depressed kinda easy sometimes, tries to put on punk-ish airs sometimes, etc, but we luv him anyway :p...

Is it possible to be a part-time firefighter? I am aware there are some temp firefighting jobs- for example, I met a girl once whose family works wildfires in the summer. What I am specifically curious about though is, is it possible to be a part-time firefighter and work another regular 9-5...

Hey, I was working all day in lab, and I got myself really hopped up on caffeine (just caffeine, honest, about a quart of black coffee) to keep myself focused. Towards the end of the day I was feeling a little loopy, almost like when you are just a little less drunk than 'buzzed'. It crossed my...

The long and the short of it: When I ride more than about 30 miles on my KLR, I feel destroyed and abused in my... everywhere. Well, that is to say I feel completely exhausted and utterly beat up from the wind and my posture and my mediocre seat. It's no one simple problem- wind + seat +...

Hey, quick question- I am attempting to up the class of my wardrobe a bit, so I'm sorting out my issues with dress shirts one by one, and I've got only one issue left. Since BARF is so classy, I thought maybe you could help me! In short, when I bend over forwards or raise my arms above my...

I'm sellin' my Contour HD 1080p. Includes sticky mount and goggle mount and a 16GB microSD card. In good shape, seen only light usage, so the battery is still young. I could go into more detail, but if you're interested you should already know all the details :teeth Asking price: $220

Hey, I was wondering, how do I go about reporting suspicious activity to the police? Saw a de-labeled aging bread truck (the kind that look like really big USPS trucks) with a white upper half and green lower half loading up a motorcycle with modern-looking exhaust pipes this morning on King...

Hey guys! I have a quick question for y'all- my little brother is currently finishing up his AA, he's specializing in car electronics systems IIRC. He's supposed to get his certification soon. He is hoping to start holding down a job, but all he could find last year was seasonal work in retail...
