OMG JC a Bomb! posted:I've had cold sores about once a year since I was a kid, and Valtrex is really effective in stopping them before they get really bad. Unfortunately, I've never had a doctor write me a prescription for infinite refills despite the fact that I've had blood tests done for this specific medication, have had no side effects, and it's a medication that treats a condition that will never completely go away. Is there even such a thing as an infinite prescription, or am I stuck going to a walk-in clinic once a year just to ask them for a refill and a bill for their consultation? You can't get an infinite prescription, but you should be able to get one that'll go you 2 or 3 years. Might have to see another doctor tho.

Why does people's breath show up so well in movies when its cold in the scene? I've never gotten my breath to show up very well regardless of the temperature or humidity. Is there some trick that Hollywood has or am I breathing wrong?

It's easy to get a good shot of cold breath when lit from behind or above/below.

It may or may not show up very well in pictures (I'm sure there are film techniques for it), but you'll see it. It's something to do with cold temperatures and high humidity, I think.

In today's fast paced world I find that I really only get time with my own thoughts in the shower, theres too much to watch/read/listen to other times. As a result I think of plenty of things I want to do later, but often forget most of them because I get distracted afterwards. What I'm looking for is some kind of note system I can use in the shower. Googling around I found these: http://www.myaquanotes.com/OrderNowSee5PackSpecial/tabid/92/Default.aspx but they seem kind of expensive at 14 cents a page in bulk. Has anyone ever used this or a similar product they could recommend?

Yeah, the reviews on that didn't look so great. Now I'm leaning toward http://www.amazon.com/Rite-Rain-Tactical-Pocket-Notebook/dp/B001CCMLL6/ref=pd_sim_sg_7 and a space pen.

I've sent 2 packages via USPS and none of the numbers for tracking work. I don't know even which freaking numbers to enter, there is a whole string of numbers but apparently only a certain number combination works. Aside from visiting my local office how can I get the tracking info?

Also I know YLLS would answer this for me but I want a less scientific answer. From what I can tell, lifting weights preserves or enlarges muscle mass? Running and (pure) cardio burn fat/muscle?I need to burn off a lot of body fat. Aside from cutting calories, maybe the best thing for me would be to find an excercise that combined cardio circuits and weight training, say like bodyweight circuits?

The advantage of bodyweight circuits is that you always have your equipment with you. The downside is that you have limited potential (assuming you don't go either Bruce Lee 100% workout all the time or have acces to gymnast-equipment). You can get fit on pushups and bodyweight squats and whatnot, but you'll not be as fit (or as strong or as muscled) as someone who bench presses and squats heavy weights. The boring probably-slightly disappointing answer is that your best bet is cutting out lovely food, lifting weights 2 or 3 times a week and go running 2 or 3 times a week. I would first focus on eating right instead of cutting calories, as it is really difficult to overeat to a significant degree without sugar while exercising.

Seeing your breath depends on temperature of your breath and outdoors, and humidity of your breath and outdoors. quote:You can see your breath on a cold day because the amount of water vapor in your warm exhaled breath exceeds the amount of water vapor that can held by the cold air. Any water exceeding that concentration will form water droplets which are very small so they look like the cloud or mist you see.  Not photoshopped

Or mount a regular whiteboard or chalkboard above the level of where water hits. Even in my tiny stall shower, the wall opposite the shower-head only gets wet up to my hip level or so. Bonus: Some shower/bath material is already a natural whiteboard. Try a dry erase marker on a tiny spot and see if it erases easily.

Does anybody know what these bumper stickers represent? I've seen them for years but nobody I've asked knows. This is the best picture I've been able to take of one, but it's not great. It looks like a fox head in front of some kind of semicircle:

RebBrownies posted:Any reason why I might be getting light headed? I bent down to pick up a box from work yesterday and as I slowly raised up my vision went blackish and I got very woozy. This happens to me regularly if I'm not drinking enough water. It could also be low blood sugar, but water seems to fix it for me. I try to drink frequently throughout the day and usually end up drinking at least the recommended 64oz if not more. I only get that now if I've only had 1ish glass of water a day or less.

Sometimes towns will issue some random design to all their residents, to be used as essentially a parking pass. Could be that. For example, in one town I grew up in, the town gave everyone a window sticker of an 8 ball and a cue ball; and that let you park in certain places where non residents couldn't.

Serious question, what is proper etiquette on a plane when watching a movie and a gratuitous or even normal sex scene takes place on your laptop? IE game of thrones or like some normal R rated movie? It can be awkward with or without nudity. Im currently sitting in the aisle and I know some nudity is coming up in the movie I have on, should I just try to skip past it? Watch it like normal?

b0nes posted:I used the USPS automated postal center for both packages. One is First Class mail with delivery confirmation and the prefix is 420, the other one is Priority Mail, the prefix is also 420. also they both have 30 digit numbers. I tried different combinations of numbers i Google before finally getting the right ones and the website keeps o saying that this information isn't available from this website. Yeah the automated postal center will produce 420xxxx numbers. Depending on how 'old' the shipping is you might not pull anything up; it can take 24 hours sometimes for stuff to appear for 420 numbers.

Another postal question. This time of year, how late could packages feasibly be delivered? I have one coming my way that still says it's supposed to arrive today on the USPS website (with delivery confirmation and insurance, if that makes a difference), but it's like 7 pm.

I think I solved the whole USPS tracking number thing. You can't google the whole 420 30 digit number, you can only google a small part of it. That doesn't explain why I couldn't get any tracking info though. Their servers were probably overloaded. Went to a post office and a supervisor pulled up the informaton.

To keep it dreadfully simple, USPS doesn't make multiple rounds, so if you didn't get it with your regular mail, you aren't going to get it that day. (generally) There's been a lot of delayed mail, especially with the inclimate weather in the midwest, and a lot of the tracking sites aren't taking that into account.

I am looking for a synthesizer , I saw it on youtube and it's the coolest loving thing I have ever seen. It looks like someone told a 4 year old to go make a computer. It's a box with a million wires and switches and knobs on it but people make mindblowing music on it. I remember it costs a lot of money.
