My earphones died and now I need to buy new ones. Is there any way to know which ones to pick? Or just, you know, pick a good brand, cross my fingers and hope for the best?

What *is* the purpose of a relationship?
I'm really curious about what your say is on this.

Personally I don't understand the whole concept of suicide bombing at all. Still, at least with the Al·Qeda (however you spell it) version I've a bit of confusion in 2 parts:
1) What's the appeal of this reward? Supposedly they die and in the afterlife they will receive 50 to 100 (number is really not important) virgins. Personally I'd think a large number of highly skilled sluts would be more pleasurable...but what's so great about a flock (bushel?) of virgins?
2) Lots of different faiths in the world but they all pretty much seem to agree that in the afterlife things are not grounded in physicality, nothing is solid. So, you're in the Next and you've got your large number of virgins. What good does that do you if you can't actually touch them and none of you have skin?

I am wrong for being pissed off that my boyfriend's brother got him absolutely nothing for xmas, yet he spent £80 on them and their children? And I know for a fact the damn wife got her brothers something. And posted on facebook they had spent a ton on buying beer.
I just don't understand some people. I know he's a bit hurt and would of even appreciate a box of chocolates from them rather nothing.:(
When was the last time someone was really unthoughtful towards you or someone you know?

Below is a link to a clip from "Waiting". For those that have seen it, its the part at the end where Alaina lifts up her skirt, and shows this massive beaver. Is that her real bush? Or is it...makeup? A wig? I don't even know what you would call that.

What does "sleeping in" mean to you? What time do you normally get up and what time do you get up if you "sleep in"?
The past couple of months, my job has me getting up at 4:30 am, so no matter what time I stay up to the night before, on the week ends my eyes pop open at 6 am at the latest and usually it's closer to 5 or 5:30. I would like to sleep a little later on the weekends, but even though I take a couple of Benadryl and a melatonin, it doesn't happen.

My mother in law has active Golden Staph (open sores on her arms and hands) which is extremely contagious. The only info I can find on the danger to a newborn baby is that Golden Staph is linked to SIDS (cot death)
Does anyone know where to find some more information? (Ive tried asking my GP, he is looking into it for me)
And would you let someone with a communicable disease hold your child?
How do you tell them no?

A computer virus website? We are watching commercials from the 70s, and a revlon commercial came up. I wanted to see if they still sold the product so I googled it. Went to the revlon site then it redirected me to another site which said "your computer has a virus" and it started to scan into my drives
I'm on a mac, so the virus checks don't work this way.
Did this website try to give me a virus? I mean, good luck to them trying to virus me and all but still.
Has anyone heard of this? DO NOT CLICK ON IT!!! I put dashes in it so that it does not link (I hope)

I need your help, AMA! Will you tell me a short story of something weird/frustrating/shitty, yet funny that's happened to you? Sort of like FML, but less, you know, FML-ish.
I ask because I'm a comic book artist, and I'm making a short self-published book of page-long anecdotes (6 panels = 1 story) about shit that really screws up your day, stuff that's funny and relateable, to sell at conventions in 2010. I'll probably do 15 or 20, and if I illustrate yours, I'll email it to you! Or, if you don't want it to be optioned to be in the book, please tell your story anyway, just let me know! I love stories. :)
Sorry if this is worded awkwardly!

My little sister became a Christian early this year in January. This is the first Christmas she is spending at home with the Non-Christian family.
For anyone in similar situations (either mine or my sister's), what's it been like for you? According to her FB, my sister is not very happy because she's not able to spend it with other Christians =\
Anyway, I've yet to get my sister an Xmas gift. But I'd like to get her a book. A Christian book. Hopefully one that to deals with living with a non-Christian family. Because she has been keeping to herself a lot at home this time and seems to resent(?) us =\
Any recommendation? Thanks.

What really gets your goat? What can somebody do that just makes you want to RAGE and hit them in the face?!
I have two HUGE ones:
1: People making excuse after excuse not to do something instead of just saying they don't WANT to. I HATE this, and will sit there and shoot down every single excuse until they either give in or get mad.
2: People putting things until the last minute and then expecting others to bail them out. For example, tonight my Rocky cast is doing the Christmas show, and we're all wearing Christmas-themed costumes. Our Frank just sent out a mass text asking if he could borrow THE ENTIRE COSTUME. Surprise, the Christmas show was cast a MONTH ago, why the hell are you waiting until SIX HOURS from the show to beg for shit from everybody else?!
What about you?

Gillian Anderson's the only person I've heard of who has two (fairly different) natural accents in the same language. She grew up in both the USA and England and adopted two accents. She claims she often doesn't realize which accent she's using and unconsciously switches depending on whether she's talking to Americans or Brits.
Well that first sentence isn't totally true; I've heard of people toning down their hometown accents when living in mainstream society, but that doesn't seem quite to the same extent.
Bonus question: how many accents do you have (in whatever is your most natural language)?

A lot of my friends have family over at their house who they tend to brush off all of their dinner/work on (Personally my mother is making my turkey :P) And I wanted to ask how many people here know people who do that or do that themselves or whether they take care of everything? (Which is why I asked if I am the only lazy bitch here!)

so i just found out we have to pick up my crazy conservative, religious, paternal grandparents on the 2.5 hour drive up for christmas.
(ex: my mother bought my grandmother a crew neck sweater one year for her birthday. she wore it backword because her two clavicle bones were showing if she wore it the correct way.)
so naturally i'm throwing a fit because i'll get to sit in the back i'm sure between my mom and grandmother.
What should i bring for the car ride?
also, what should be the topic of conversation?
Silly and real answers needed. pleasesaveme.
PS
my grandmother is a surething for a bible lesson. so if anyone is looking to hear one or two, just let me know. (;

Okay, so I download a song to my "My Music" folder and load it onto iTunes to synch to my iPod.
What happens if I delete the track from "My Music", will iTunes go looking for it? What if I rename the "My Music" folder, or move the track from one folder to another, will it make a difference?
Also, different but related question: How would you make the most out of an 8GB iPod, without getting another one? lol. I want to put a LOT of things in my iPod, but the space is so limiting, I'd have to keep replacing stuff. :(

There's almost nobody that can say it correctly the first time they try to say it, and very few who can say it again correctly a second or third time (or, you know, ever).

Okay I am really confused, I was at my uncles today which has pretty bad cell phone service in some parts of his house. I went on aim and there was a lot of screen names on my list I didn't add. One messaged me and then when I messaged them back they had no clue who I was then another one was on there and I wrote them and no clue. Could bad interception maybe interfere with someone else's body list or did somebody hack into my screen name? The weird thing is I can't find the sn's any where anymore.

Some time ago, I read something about people combing lemon juice into their hair to turn it blonde or get streaks. Note that I was about 8 when I read this and my more-than-a-decade-ago memories may be wrong. But if I am indeed recalling right, and this does work, how does one go about it? My hair's been steadily lightening in the sun and I figure I might look good with a few blonde-er highlights, but absolutely refuse to actually pay someone to do it (and don't trust myself to use drugstore boxes). Also, is this safe for hair, or is it about as smart as dunking my head in bleach?

I have to go to a Christmas brunch with (Jewish) relatives tomorrow.
Such gatherings tend to become a cesspool of negativity (complaints/racist jokes/talking about people who aren't there), and I've already been depressed lately. Also, I've been invited to a friend's house after.
How do I nicely duck out at the right time without seeming like I am deliberately avoiding obnoxious relatives, even if I am?

A few months ago I was at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and saw a gorgeous big screen that depicted either apostles or saints (my Jesus-learnin's are not so hot), many of whose hands were in very specific positions.
One of them was like this ( apostle gang sign )
I've been using it as my default pose for snapshots since I saw it & I figure I should probably learn what it means.
But then I figured it would be more fun for YOU to assign the meaning. HELP ME OUT, AMA. What's it mean?
BONUS (actual question/long shot): Does anyone know anything about hand positions in Gothic art?

For me, I feel very awkward opening gifts. I wasn't this way as a kid (videos prove that), but I don't know when it changed.. all I know is I feel very awkward. In fact, my SO's grandmother got me a gift that his mom brought home from a Christmas dinner we couldn't attend.. and I made him open it. :\

What other spurious info have you seen slipped into Wikipedia for the Lulz?
My favorite was in the article for "Giant Squid" some months ago; there was a random interjection of IA IA XUL, CTHULHU FTHAGEN! and a mention of how dread Cthulhu lay sleeping.
