    Should I be annoyed by father in law's comment?

    The proper answer was "Why yes sir, I do. We'll save 50% of the price and still see the same movie." Your whole long diatribe was about finding deals; why would you be offended if your FIL asked if you found a deal??

    Requirements for IT positions or jobs similar.

    Everyone on here is giving good advice about the requirements for an IT job in a company, but maybe you have a different path. So think about it this way: If you don't have a college degree, what other resources do you have and how can you put them to work? Do you (or your family) know a lot...

    What was the name of that group doodle site?

    ATOT should start a session at Flockdraw.com. It lets you collaborate on the same drawing, unlike iSketch which lets only one person draw.

    Cities... Do city names ever have any special characters besides a '.' ??

    Are you only going to be reading the city names out of the database or will there be a user interface and you have to parse whatever the user typed in? Users will type in any crazy thing they want to. For cities, you will see stuff like this: Phila. Philly FTW Ft. Wo.

    Does anyone have any good egg nog recipes?

    This is like being at a frat house and someone says "Hey, I have some Everclear and some KoolAid. Someone ask around for some recipes". Just pour some in until it's the strength that you like.

    What is the stuff called that foam earplugs are made out of? Can I get a brick of it?

    You might also want to google around to see if you can find Audio Studio Foam - the stuff they put on walls to make a soundproof room. Not sure where you could buy it B&M, but it's available for online orders.

    But, but, but... I DID play the tuba in elementary/high school. And I use that as my secret fact in these type of work things. I'm a girl, so maybe that makes it more interesting??

    What can I do with an old Jim Beam bottle?

    Not as cool as a sun jar, but quarters will fit in it, so you can use it as a change jar on your dresser.

    Sleep masks?

    I've seen those sleep masks in Walmart in the Cosmetics dept, near the stuff that would be considered "spa" stuff - loofas, bath salts, etc. If you're lucky, they'll have a blue one there. They might also have them in the travel dept, where they sell luggage and passport wallets. On...

    Possible to lose weight on my train trip?

    If you are tempted to eat junk just because it's there or because, hey, you're on vacation, try to make it worth your while. Admit that you might eat more than normal during these 3 weeks, but save your splurges for the best BBQ this town has to offer, or whatever. Don't waste it on plain old...

    Gym goers...how much do you pay for membership?

    You might also consider a prepaid membership. If you have been going to 24 Hour Fitness regularly, if you think they are stable in your area, if you think you are not likely to move soon, and if you think you will continue to go there for the next few years, think about prepaid. I bought a...
