Anyone get weird tingling sensations in their head after they have a short sleep?

No, but sometimes I lack the use of my legs.

What do you gringos call the opposite to a secret santa? The one where you have to give a mean gift.

I have to give one to a new girl in the office and need some ideas, she looks like a mongoloid and is studying to become a vet, any ideas guys?

Come on! no one have any ideas?

Dirty Santa and White Elephant are where everyone buys a gift and wraps it, then you put all the gifts go into a pile and draw numbers to see who picks first. Then the next person can pick another gift or steal a previous person's gift. At least that's the way we've always done it. I'm not sure what you call intentionally giving someone a crappy gift.

reading the Kindle All Stars: Resistance Front anthology manuscript that I'm in at the moment... it's absolutely brilliant. Everyone with a Kindle or who loves to read and buy paperbacks should pick this fucker up in the next couple weeks when it goes on sale. All proceeds go to the Nat'l Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Seriously.

This is THE thing to read in 2011, it's the modern Dangerous Visions, and includes a short story by Mr. Harlan Ellison himself that is not available digitally anywhere.

I've heard of this tradition, but I'm not sure if it has an official name. If I were suggesting the idea to my friends, I'd probably call it Evil Santa or something.

Is it the Krampus, or are you looking for gift ideas?

You should go see an orthopedics doctor.

So I think I mentioned I am getting tingling in my fingertips, depending on my arm and/or head position. I went to the chiropractor, who tried a couple things before giving me any treatment, and more or less said "You need to see a real doctor."

I had my appointment yesterday, took a mess of x-rays (note: no new superpowers as of yet), and found out that the gap between two of my vertebrae is about half what the other vertebrae have. So I'm going in for an MRI in two weeks, and will have more detail about what the problem is. The doctor said I didn't have to worry about surgery, so I was relieved -- "This will fix itself then?!" And then he said, "Well, we don't know." Oh, OK, so it's AN INOPERABLE PROBLEM. That's not what I thought you meant at first.

Came home and found that the internet is back and the cable works in the basement and in our bedroom, but still not in the living room. We had a massive rain storm today, can that mess with it somehow?

Weird.

It frustrates me so much when people assume things they hear or read as true, even if to academics eye the source is already discredited.

I find it impossible to continue arguing with these people as they are simply unable to compute.

I just stop in the middle of the arguement.

It's when your academic spider sense goes off but you aren't arsed to correct someone because frankly it won't change anything and you can't be arsed to do the research and you just leave the arguement being all smh.

I have a friend who works in construction, he listens to the radio all day and he spouts all this shit. Always talking about "them" when ever a study comes out as if there is a single body that conducts all studies "did you know they found out [ASININE CLAIM]?" or when there is some sort of poll he credits "them" with that too - as if something has to be inherently true for some radio-face to drool it at him through talk radio.

I used to try to get him to think more critically of things like that, but at this point I've given up.

How long do you wait before you figure your date is not showing up? 16 mins late so far and I texted but no answer.

Thinking about leaving in another 10.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #10967 on:** November 27, 2011, 09:17:51 PM »

I'd give it at least 30 minutes. Maybe 45. Get a drink and just hang out. Any longer than that and I'd bail.

Diunx · « **Reply #10968 on:** November 27, 2011, 09:18:09 PM »

call her, if she doesn't answer leave.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #10969 on:** November 27, 2011, 09:32:07 PM »

30 minutes, maybe 45 depending on how much you want it. Please don't send more than one text message either, you'll look desperate. Let her contact you. If she doesn't, you know she didn't want to do anything. If she calls back later with some bad excuse, the ball is in your court.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #10970 on:** November 27, 2011, 10:15:45 PM »

Is this post office girl? Maybe some douchebag came in at the last minute with like 15 packages, you gotta give her at least 45 minutes.

No it wasn't. Turns out she was already there but hidden in an area I couldn't find her and she had her phone off. Eventually we met up though.
