I have to touch everything with the back of my hand first, always resulting in a loud "POP." I had headphones in the other day and it almost burnt my ear when I walked 3 feet.

An ex from India had never experienced static electricity until he came back to America (he was born here and grew up there). I guess it's too humid in Mumbai/Bombay for static.

I never had this problem when I lived in Houston, or rather it was much less frequent. It's much dryer in San Antonio though, so it's pretty much every time I cross a room. Really annoying. :/

I've been surprisingly static-free so far this winter. Today was the first day I wore a scarf and gloves and encountered no static at all. Whoo! (I also think this is my 6,000th comment... whoo again?!)

That's wine-soaked shitake and red onion, on a hickory smoked turkey patty covered in pepperjack & sharp cheddar, on a sesame seed buN (LOL @Amanda) slathered in garlic tahini. My inspiration: http://friendfeed.com/e...

In case we run out of masks during the H1N1 flu season, here is a ‘homemade’ mask you can make yourself. It is even compatible with the wearing of glasses. One thing though --- MAKE SURE YOUR MASK IS CLEAN!!!!!!!!

"Many people are sporting HTPCs these days—media computers hooked up to their televisions—but some sites are designed like you're sitting at your computer desk, not on your living room couch. YouTube XL makes YouTube couch-friendly. YouTube XL presents common YouTube options in a large display format for easy navigation without having to read a tiny font 20 feet across your living room. You can quickly navigate to spotlighted, top rated, and most viewed categories. Clicking on "More..." also gives you quick access to rising videos, most favorites, most discussed, and more. You can also set the next video in your search results or viewing category to start playing when the current one ends and filter out content not suitable for minors. If you've been annoyed by the tiny fonts and buttons when trying to use YouTube in a living room setup, YouTube XL is a great way to access YouTube in a couch-friendly format."

There's something disturbing about the fact that this is remaining prominent in my feed. :P

OMG. Amanda Y. Hicks! I was lucky enough to miss out on this while I was out of the country. I now want to tear my eyes out. If you were here, I would throw something at you!

I LOVE having clean clothes and linens but I hate doing laundry with the fire of 10,000 suns. I'd hate it a lot less if my apartment had a w/d hookup in it and I didn't have to share a laundry room.

I was on a two month overseas assignment with a major expense account and no time for laundry. The hotel laundry was more expensive then buying new underwear so I ended up with about 60 pairs thanks to Amazon. Never had a problem since then.

I dunno... Clean underwear > clean socks > just about everything else.
