My username is a reference a TV show that I love. When I look at it objectively, I think it's a stupid username and conveys a type of person that I am not. So when people who have never seen Dead Like Me see me on here, they may get a wrong impression of me.


Should I change my username?
What should I change it to?

Brings out the kidney in you

Poll #1483718
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 17

While walking through the hospital one day (visiting a friend), an older man of some indistinct third world country approaches you and talks excitedly in a strange language. His translator tells you that his daughter needs a kidney and he would like to buy yours. You try and explain the process of donors and compatability and so forth, and the translator says "I know. We've tried to explain to him how it's done, but he refuses to listen or understand. He's immensely rich and buys everything he wants, even if he doesn't really know how to work it. Right now, he wants your kidney, and he's willing to pay you $1,000,000 for it. If you agree, the removal will be done in a very sterile environment with a team of doctors who specialize in organ removal. You will be in the best hands money can buy. However, if you agree, you must give up the kidney right this very minute or else he'll find some other person who will." Will you sign over your kidney ASAP for 1 million?

Why or why do you not like Michael Jackson?

I think he was a gift from God. A cherub from the heavens.

Notes on Skin Softener

  • Nov. 10th, 2009 at 6:48 PM
Guys, be smart. Don't fall for this one.

The other day, I was at Walgreens. At their front end, they have displays of items like candy, soda, and prophylactics. One of the items was generic skin softener- "made with real olive oil!" the label announced. It was $5 for a 6oz bottle. Curious, I looked at the ingredients:

100% pure olive oil.

Yeah. Or you could just buy some olive oil in those big jugs for about $8 and use some on your skin- provided you don't start with mildly dry, normally oily skin. A better idea is a wash with rice bran and oatmeal in that case. But if you usually have very dry skin, olive oil has been used in the Middle East for that purpose for centuries. If you're looking for something lighter, go with jojoba or almond oil. Grapeseed oil works as well, and if you put about 1 drop essential oils to 10 drops base oil, it can smell really good too! Just make sure the essential oil is safe to use on the skin. Not all of them are!

I am planning on doing AmeriCorps for 6-10 months starting this winter. There is a program in Cedar Rapids/Cedar Falls Iowa that deals with exactly what I am interested in (energy retrofit and sustainability in buildings, which is pretty specific), but it's in Iowa. Have you been to Iowa? How was it?

Would it be better to do a program that excites me in a place that doesn't, or should I do something less exciting in an exciting place?

If you were to do AmeriCorps, or just move to a random place in America for a year, where would you want to go?

Can you think of an old song (like 60s/70s) and a new song (90s or later) that are mostly about the same thing? Like they have the same "message" but get it across differently?

Weird question I know, but I am making some mixes as a gift and this is the theme I've come up with...haha. I have exhausted every other "theme" in the book.

For those of you who work, what do you do when you just really don't feel like being there but there are still 7 hours and 48 minutes left to go?

Will you tell me about your most annoying coworker?
