I...I feel stupid. How do I add someone on Facebook? I tried searching for their email and name but no go. Do I just 'like' them on their wall?

Anyone experienced with paypal refunds? I got a seller saying when they got my money they transferred it to their bank account. I opened a dispute when they didn't send me the tickets--turns out they lost them--and apparently they used their credit card to pay the amount of money back to paypal. But I'm not seeing it in my paypal balance. Should I just escalate it? Paypal help is no use to me and just says some automated message.

Someone made fun of me for having Yahoo mail. What's a cool free email that won't steal my credit card numbers? Also, is it weird to thank your bus driver when you get off at your stop?

Gmail it is then. Finally I can be cool!  And yeah, I usually take the bus to college so thanking him everyday for X amount of months gets a little tired after a while. On that note, would it be weird to give him a holiday card/gift? I mean, I don't talk to him or anything other then to say thanks once in a while, but we do see each other every day.

Somebody explain this stupidity to me, please? I installed Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer 2007 to view powerpoint files--from Microsoft's official website--and now my docx and co. files have disassociated with the MS Word program. When I try to change the default 'use program to open this type file' it refuses to select MS word. I'll go to right click, 'open with...', hit browse and select 'WINWORD.EXE' and it'll go back to the 'open with...' dialog box with IE or sometimes notepad selected. Why does my computer hate me? I would uninstall the powerpoint viewer but I kinda really need it. I'm on Vista using Word 2007.

the posted:I went to Target and purchased a PC video game. I got home and realized I already have it and need to exchange. I checked the bag and they didn't give me a receipt. Seriously, they didn't. Go back asap and try to catch the person who sold it to you? Otherwise you might be out of luck. If you don't have a receipt you might be able to exchange it for another game if you're incredibly lucky and polite. Most likely they might think you tole it from them/another tore and are looking for free poo poo.

A low pile rug might help, plus save your floors from getting scratched. If that also slides there's some anti-slipping mats that go under the rug*. Also, if you live in an apartment it'll spare your lower neighbor from hearing your chair roll around. * http://www.homedepot.com/Flooring-A...51#.UFN3XrJlQZk

Does a basic recipe for chocolate chip cookies really need butter? On that note does it really need two different kinds of sugar? Why not just have a single cup of white sugar with some molasses, or a cup of brown sugar? In the US, does Starbucks give you a discount if you bring in your own container for hot water/coffee? I could only find info for Brits at 10p discount.

greazeball posted:Any advice for coping with tinitus? I just moved to a really quiet house and at night the ringing is really loud. I generally wear foam earplugs at night, which helps block out outside noises and lets me drown out the tinnitus by hearing rustling against the pillow, blood circulation, etc. Eventually you'll learn to ignore it. Though apparently earplugs are damaging to your ears and definitely widen the ear canals, not unlike plugs in one's earlobes. I guess a white noise machine would be best for you. Go to a doctor for better advice.

However when I combine them the gif frames (not including the first) have white instead of transparent backgrounds... How do I stop this? Get rid of GIMP if you can and find something better. I'm pretty sure Adobe let you do a 30 day trial if this is a one time thing. How to possibly fix your problem: Check how you're saving the file. Is the option for transparency checked? You're not flattening all the layers before saving them are you

Rashomon posted:Really stupid/small Tumblr related question: I have been using a Tumblr to keep some images on as a sort of mini-portfolio of photos of my work (theater director). I was uploading some new images and for some reason, it won't let me arrange the photo set. Previously when I have uploaded a bunch of images at once, Tumblr gave me options as to how to do the layout of the photos, i.e. which photos were big and which were small, and whether it was 3 big photos and 3 small ones, or 1 big one and 5 small ones, etc. Any idea why I can't find the option to do that any more? Running Chrome. I tried it in IE but IE 10 wouldn't even let me log in for some reason. I don't know if you're still reading the thread or have figured it out already but you can click and drag them now. It's great for uploading batches but really loving annoying when it stretches out the first one to 700px high. If you're not fond of the click and drag thing there's a chrome extension that let's you spoof to get the old photoset options back. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher/lkmofgnohbedopheiphabfhfjgkhfcgf Also I'd advise against using tumblr for portfolios.
