I'm a basketcase of weird. MichCherie knows this
I do find it weird that some people don't read. Like DH. I love reading and don't understand people that don't read.
I rub my feet together until I fall asleep.
When driving I clench my teeth as I go by telephone poles.
I see numbers, names, most words in colors. But numbers especially. Each number has a color that never changes. As do names.

Depends on the relationship and the people ect, but I'd probably move back. If you're truly unhappy, it's not helping anything. If possible, you could always visit as often as possible ect.
It's a super tough situation. If you've been miserable for a long time It's understandable you'd want to leave. But if it's a temporary thing maybe it'd be good to stick it out? Good luck with your decision

I realize I'm about to quote a gossip site, but I thought Lainey Gossip had a great take on the interview:
link here!
"Theres a limited amount of real-life learning that happens for a showbiz child. Theres very little reality. I dont dispute that Justin Bieber has some skill. In the relentless pursuit of fame however whats happened is that they have become his ONLY skills, juxtaposed with a lack of knowledge about almost everything else. There is no focus on the importance of critical thinking. This is why Lindsay Lohan never makes any sense. This is why so many of them make no sense. Theyve lost the opportunity to learn how to formulate a thought, and properly articulate that thought, argue it and defend it if they have to. And this is why, when asked by Rolling Stone his opinion on abortion, Justin Bieber offered this:
"I really don't believe in abortion," Bieber says. "It's like killing a baby?" (RS asks: How about in cases of rape? "Um. Well, I think that's really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that."
How would that feel to a pregnant girl raped by a monster she made the mistake of helping on her way home? You think shed find solace in the words: Everything happens for a reason?
Look I actually dont think he means that pregnancy by rape is divine inspiration. I dont think he means to hurt with his words. I dont think that he means to judge either. What I think happened here is that he actually doesnt KNOW. And that he actually cant COMMUNICATE. This is a 16 year old who cannot COMMUNICATE. "

I haven't started reading it yet, but wanted to know if anyone else has? It sounds great.....
"Hannah Levi, a midwife in the Venetian ghetto has gained renown for her skill in coaxing reluctant babies out of their mother�s bellies using her �birthing spoons�, a rudimentary form of forceps. One night a Christian nobleman, Conte Paolo di Padovani appears at Hannah�s door in the Jewish ghetto with an impossible request.He implores Hannah to help his dying wife and save their unborn child. But a Papal edict has made it a crime, punishable by death, for Jews to render medical treatment to Christians. The Conte offers her a huge sum of money, enough to enable her to sail to Malta to ransom her beloved husband, Isaac who has been captured at sea and is a slave of the Knights of St. John.
Against the Rabbi�s advice, Hannah goes with the Conte and delivers the infant, Matteo, a child who captures her heart. As she prepares to depart for Malta to rescue Isaac, she discovers that the baby�s uncles are plotting to murder the baby in order to seize the family fortune. In the absence of the Conte and his wife who are in Ferrara on urgent family matters, there is no one but Hannah to save Matteo. She enlists her sister Jessica who is a courtesan and living as a Christian outside the ghetto. An outbreak of the plague traps them in Venice and makes them easy prey for the baby�s murderous uncles.
Woven through Hannah�s travails are Isaac�s hardships as a slave in Malta. Blessed with wit and charm, he earns scraps of food as a scribe and pins his hopes for freedom on bartering his precious silkworm eggs. To reach Isaac, who believes she has died in the plague, Hannah must outsmart the di Padovani family and sail to Malta before Isaac manages to buy his passage to a new life in Constantinople."

I've seen 6 of the best picture noms...Going to see Black Swan soon. The other ones will be hard to find in my small town (Winters Bone, 127 hours) I think I can rent The Kids are All Right.
My predictions for Acting are (FTR I think the Globes got it right)
Colin Firth/Natile Portman (Although Annette Bening has an excellent shot but she didn't campaign enough)
Mellisa Leo (SOOOO amazing in the fighter. I'd love for Amy Adams to win, but Melissa Leo had such a meaty role)
Christian Bale will probably get best supporting. Geoffery Rush was truly AMAZING in TKP though. Perhaps a tie? Hard to pick between the two. I'd love to see Geoffery Rush win.
WTF was with no Mila Kunis, Andrew Garfield and Ryan Gosslin? But Hailey Steinfield got a nom? She was NOT good in True Grit. WHATSOEVER. I found her hard to watch actually.
Toy Story 3 will take Best Animated Feature. Surprised Tangled wasn't on the noms list. I ADORED that movie.
I am really rooting for The Kings Speech to win Best Picture. I loved that movie a lot.

When I was at the spa I used a disinfectant (the same one they used to clean the pedicure chairs) and then let them dry. That didn't fix the problem at all. I had heard of some people who put dryer sheets in their shoes and that masked the smell.
After a while I started using tea tree and peppermint oil to mask the smell. It never did go away though

Question!!!
Two friends of mine started personal blogs. Journal type blogs. Both keep posting pictures that they find on the web...Like for instance one posted a pic of a cup of coffee. I think she just googled "Coffee", took that picture and posted it. Neither of them are claiming that the photos are theirs. Anyways, I'm just wondering if I should warn them that they should give photo credits to the pictures they post to avoid any trouble? Or is it ok because it's not a business blog? I just don't want them to get in [censored] for not giving photo credit. So should I mention it? Or leave it? If so, what do I say?

Ok, please don't judge. I don't shoot RAW. Mostly because my CS4 needed some plug in for it to open the files so I just don't do it. With that wedding I have coming up I'm thinking I NEED to shoot RAW for it.
So I've updated my CS4 did everything I needed to do. When I go to open files in CS4 I have the option to open RAW files in Camera Raw. Is this correct (I can also do it in BRIDGE) From there I just move all the sliders right? Or should I be doing Photoshop Raw? Because when I do that I just get grey 'snow'
