    Is anyone here a tea connoisseur? I'm hunting around for a nice little teapot with a warmer to have at work (warmer = candle stand, not warmer = tea cozy).

    Teaopia has some nice stuff, and I might go there, but I was just curious if anyone had a preference for cast iron vs. glass vs. ceramic, or any other tips.

    Project Guten is pretty good if you're interested in classics.

    Bewildered found the dude. I spoke with the guy tonight and he was understandably freaked out by a stranger calling him. My friend was standing right behind me and she finally took the phone and talked with him. She's still bouncing off the walls.

    Between <a class="postlink" href="http://ebookee.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://ebookee.org/</a> and <a class="postlink" href="http://filestube.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://filestube.com</a> I am able to find most of the ebooks I'm looking for. As far as I know there isn't a real big pirating market out there for ebooks yet. I hope they do come around soon.

    How do you get rid of an eye twitch? It's not the kind that's in the corner and you can feel, it's the one underneath the eye that you can see if you look down, but don't feel very much. It's been five days and I'm sure people are sick of looking at it.

    I've tried everything I can think of...white wine, vodka, red wine, sex, Honey Jack Daniels, almonds, beef jerky, masturbation and blueberries.

    Help!

    How much are you sleeping? I've read that eye twitches are often caused by exhaustion.

    I slept for 13 hours today, so I think I'm good there.

    I take vyvanse for ADHD and it works just fine. Expensive,though. No generic for at least a few more years. My wife takes adderall for hypersomnia, but she's having problems getting the Rx filled as there is a shortage thanks to the DEA and the manufacturing limits they imposed.

    The eye thing went away for a day and now it's in overdrive. Fuuuuuuck. Annoying. Im not stressed. I'm relaxed and really happy.

    I get these sometimes, but I don't think I've ever had them last as long as you're describing. If I have one last more than a half a day, I'll put a cold compress on it, and that seems to work.

    Blog reader?

    I used to use a great blog reader (I think that's what they call them? a personal aggregator?), and had it set up with feeds from all these great blogs I had collected over the years, and then they went defunct...can't even remember which one it was, but a friend recommended one offered by Google and I don't likey. Any other suggestions?

    So, as I'm not accustomed to going through customs, I ain't been nowhere huh...

    A good friend of mine is flying back to California from Africa this weekend, and he has a long layover at Dulles. I live close enough to want to go out and see him, but will he be able to go through customs at Dulles and come out to the general terminal if his final destination is in California?

    It shouldn't be a problem. He will have to go through customs at the first airport he lands at inside the U.S. before he could continue to his connecting flight. Are you referring to security instead of customs? As long as he has a valid boarding pass for his flight out of Dulles to get back through security, he will be fine. The airlines don't track passengers during their layovers.

    I read quite regularly, and remember looking at Ryan Holiday's guide to 'devouring' books, rather than just reading them, on the old RMMB. I thought it was an interesting idea, but eventually forgot about it until today. (Read it here:
    <a class="postlink" href="http://www.ryanholiday.net/read-to-lead-how-to-digest-books-above-your-level/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.ryanholiday.net/read-to-lead ... our-level/</a>).

    I was reading Hitch 22, and found myself wanting to highlight certain paragraphs, so I'm going to pick up some highlighters and post-it notes tomorrow and change the way I read.

    I was wondering if any of you guys read this way, or have any additional tips i.e. using different colours highlighters for different reasons for highlighting, annotating etc.

    Thanks.

    I've been told there are tax return sites that can use a company's FEIN to search and import your W-2 info even if you haven't actually received it yet. Anyone know of any free sites that do this?

    You can start a return on turbotax for free and import it that way if they work with your payroll provider. They won't charge you until you file.

    This is a silly question, but is it okay for me to access a public university's library? All I need is a decent study spot and the Internet. I'm not a part of the school, but prefer that school's library to my own. Thanks!

    This is going to be the oddest request, or one of them odd being (subjective), in the thread but I need a chemist or pharmacist to answer this.

    I'm preparing to conduct some experiments I'd rather not discuss. What I need is a source for Pentylenetetrazol. I'm still running calculations so at the moment I'm not sure of the quantity. If a person with some knowledge, or clinical experience can point me towards a source, I'd be extremely grateful.

    I need some help from the Aussies.

    I'm considering moving there (no city in mind, just Australia) in the summer and I'd like to bounce some cost of living, job and location questions off of you. Beers for anyone that can field some inane questions.

    Thanks in advance.
