I'm trying to center part of a document in Microsoft Word but for some reason even if I only select that portion to center it does the entire document. I don't know why its doing that and I can't recall ever having that problem before. How can I only center that portion? Its the 2007 edition if it matters.

Toothpaste [18 Dec 2009|12:40pm]

First off, thank you for all your advice about games to look at for the PSP; I read every single comment. However, yesterday I was out and about and just decided to look inside Gamestop.

They had a copy of Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? for 30 bucks.

I caved and used half my vacation money to snag it. The only one they had left was the 'gutted' one they used for the shelf display, but I didn't care as long as it was new. Anyone who knows NIS knows that they are most notorious for not having games on the shelf for very long (Atlus is a close second). Heck, even the NIS official store didn't have any in stock. I've played quite a bit, and so far, I'm verrrry happy with my purchase. There are those small control problems, but they're nowhere near game-breaking.

So, it looks like either Crisis Core or Patapon is going to be my fourth game, since they both cost $20. Anyone else playing/played Prinny?

My boyfriend has mono. He was tested 2 days ago because his throat was hurting, his neck was hurting, and he felt weak.
For about 4 days my neck has been hurting, my throat is sore, and I've been coughing. I'm pretty sure I've got mono because it's so contagious, we've kissed since he felt the symptoms, and I've never had it before.

I am going to the doctor in a few days because I know you have to wait a while before you can get a correct test result with mono but my parents both keep telling me they don't think I have mono.

So TQC, does it sound like I have mono?

is it weird to ask a professor to save your final exam and let you pick it up next semester because you're taking another class of a related topic and you want to have all your stuff?

(ETA: wow. final exam = an exam that was given out in class, written on, and handed in. typically you do not get this back, as the final exam period is the last time your class meets.)

have you ever done this?

is it weird(er) if you have a blatantly obvious crush on him and you're really just fishing for an excuse to see him after the class has ended?

TQC, it is my works Christmas night out tonight. What drama do you think will unfold? How many people do you think will hook up?

Some basic information that may help your decision: we have employed approx 70 new people in the last 2 months (there was originally only about 30 of us).  No-one likes the Risk (mortgage underwriters) team, and we (admin and sales) arent allowed to talk to them (by order of their manager). There is one 'secret' couple, that everyone knows about. Everyone hates the girl in the couple. There is an admin assistant that rubs everyone the wrong way and is very high and mightly who onstantly goes on about her 50 year old boyfriend and her 5 year old son (high chance i will toss a drink over her).  The night is being held in a bar/cafe we have hired for the evening. We are getting 5 free drinks each.

gold star tomorrow for anyone who guesses correctly

My family and I are in a hotel in Baltimore, and with this predicted 5-8 inches of snow coming in, our plans to drive to Philadelphia tomorrow are out. So, basically, we have to kill tomorrow off until we can go to the airport Sunday morning. So, TQC, what the fuck am I supposed to do while stuck in a Hampton Inn all day tomorrow? (I have a room with my 11 year old sister, and am 3 months shy of the drinking age).

So I just sold two books on Amazon, Things as They Are (a book on photojournalism), and A History of Islamic Philosophy. However, I had to cancel both orders because I can't find the books anywhere. Where the hell did they go? I didn't leave them at school, since I packed up my entire room.

When was the last time something mysteriously disappeared on you?

Am I losing my mind?

has anyone ever sold their car to Carmax?  What kind of pricing do they give you? Is it basically just trade in value, or is it more along the lines of private party values?

What are some good documentaries I can watch on my netflix instant queue? (Pretty much anything besides "America is getting fat/America has awful food" -types)

If you're not into documentaries, will you recommend any good movies on there?

rosacea face cream? [18 Dec 2009|11:24am]

naturalliving

[cmshank]
My mom has rosacea on her face, and I was thinking that a good christmas gift might be a homemade cream that would specifically address that issue. I know that she uses prescription creams (not sure which one) and a "non-comedogenic" cleanser (probably not a very natural one), but these don't always seem to work so well.

I looked through the tagged posts an only found one on rosacea, and a couple people who commented in that post mentioned seabuckthorn oil and rosehips. I have shea butter, which I personally think makes a good base for hand/body creams but I'm not sure about face. From what I know about coconut oil, it seems that this might be a good base, but I'm not really sure what else to include and I haven't had much luck finding ideas in books or online.

Does anyone have any specific suggestions as to ingredients to include in a moisturizer for someone with rosacea? Any recipes?

I should also add that she has severe tree nut allergies, and I've read that nut oils can bother some people with nut allergies, so maybe these should be avoided.

Thanks in advance!

Fitness question time! [18 Dec 2009|11:32am]

Okay, here's the story: I was hospitalized a few years ago for being well... 5'7" and 96lbs.. I've recovered after a terrible experieince with an IP feeding farm and it's unethical punishments... since I've been working with a eating disorder specialist and dietician. We're working on toning to help me feel more comfortable with my body and improve my damaged immune system.

I now weight 149lb and would like to be 135lbs and toned, particularly my thighs as I was a highland dancer for 16 years... I've been doing anaerobic cycling three times a week.

How long do you think before I see a (even slightly) noticable difference?

For reference to my thighs and legs, see here:

I'm throwing a surprise welcome home party for my ex-lover/ex-best friend. We didn't end our relationship on bad terms -- she simply told me that we needed time and space apart. That was 7 months ago (so, we haven't spoken in 7 months). Considering that we share all of our friends and I've gotten them together for the party -- should I be there? The party is only intended to be a welcome home thing.

I'm wondering if anyone remotely familiar with the rental market in LA can tell me if these listings are scams? Or if there's probably some catch. They seem far too good to be true to me (I'm an NYC transplant).

Thanks in advance.

Cheating [18 Dec 2009|09:55am]

thequestionclub

[velloso21]
Under what circumstances do you think you should tell a friend their SO is cheating on them? Should you always tell? Always stay out of it? Does it depend on how close of a friend you are? How you "know"?

If you did tell a friend that their partner was cheating on them and they didn't believe you, would you drop it and never bring it up again? What if you found evidence?

It's pretty well known/suspected with my boyfriend's friends that one of the guys' fiance is engaged to another man. Someone told the guy but he doesn't believe it. I wasn't sure I believed it until I saw some pretty damning photographic evidence.

It's cold (and if it isn't, pretend it is). I mean really freaking cold.

What's your favorite way to get and stay warm?

Are there any books that actually scare you? I'm reading The Shining for like, the 10th time and just got to the scene with Jack and the dead woman in room 217. Yeah, that scene has been known to give me nightmares, and I don't usually get scared from a book.
