I need to go to Atlantic City tonight, which is about an hour and a half drive. I planned to drive but my car has had an assortment of troubles lately. Should I risk it and drive my car, let my dad drive me, or take a bus full of old people which might get me there too late?
I really want to drive but if I were to get stuck on the parkway AAA wouldn't be able to come get me, I'd have use some special one that would cost a bunch.
Edit: I can't drive my dad's car because it's manual, and while I know how to drive it I'm not exactly comfortable.

I need opinions, TQC. I currently have a 55" HDTV, but no blue ray player. I pay around $60 for the premium movie channels and have been totally spoiled by HD. Only problem is, there's a ton of movies I want to see, but are never on TV. So, should I keep paying $60 a month so I can see my movies in HD, or should I cancel all those channels and get a Netflix account? They won't be in HD, but at least I'd be able to see any movie I want. But damn do I love HD... TQC, what should I do?!

My left calf has been hurting recently, and it's not the first time. I periodically have soreness there, for some reason.
I've convinced myself it's a blood clot, but there's no way for me to be sure. I don't have insurance, so I can only imagine what going to the ER will cost. I don't have any redness, or swelling, it doesn't even hurt constantly. Just periodically throughout the day. It hurts when I move my foot forward, which I was told could be a sign.
I just don't know what to do. I went home from work early yesterday because I couldn't concentrate, I just keep thinking about it. Is it worth it to go into debt at the ER just to get tests done? I have absolutely no money. :(

My son has a ceramic piggy bank - that I really really love - and we're moving (by plane) across the country on Thursday. What is the best way to transport it?
1. Bubble wrap and mail it
2. Stuff it with clothes and put it in a carry-on
3. Stuff it with clothes and put it in my luggage
4. Something else?

This is a question for everyone, but I'd be especially grateful for some input from the dudes. All these hair communities on LJ seem to have an absurdly high proportion of ladies (not that it's a bad thing, but I'd like to see what both sexes think).
What kind of hair cuts/styles do you prefer on women? Specificity and pictures are encouraged.

I have a stupid insurance question. I'll call about it on Monday, but I'm going to drive myself nuts thinking about it until then.
It's open enrollment right now, and my husband and I are choosing a new hospital and doctors that are closer to where we live. We're doing the HMO option, and have to choose a primary care doctor. That's just the doctor we go to when we're sick, right? But then, I'm also going to have to choose a gyno, but I don't see a place to do that.
If you're on an HMO, and am female, do you have to choose your gyno as your primary care doctor? It seems silly to have to, but I also don't want to leave myself without a gyno for the year, ya know?

I recently ordered some skirts from an online site (I ordered them 11/23). I ordered them at the prices of $11.99 and $17.99. I have an email of the confirmation of these prices.
I just got a shipping confirmation (they shipped 11/27), and the prices have gone up to $21.99 and $17.99 raising the total price including shipping over 10 dollars.
I just sent them an email with screen shots and everything, very detailed.
But my question is- can they actually do that? Since I got a confirmation of what I would have had to pay and they did put a hold on my account for that much money, but then took out MORE, isn't that not legal? I thought what you quoted the person and what you confirmed you had to take, even if the prices of the product did go up by the time it was processed?
have you ever had this happen to you before? how did it go? did you get your money back?

I met up with some old friends from LL and played some flag football in the CD. Not having played in over a year and not having done a lot of cardio lately besides any rigorous walking against the clock up and down the hills in the morning, I had doubts about my ability to keep up without running out of breath. But turns out I did have the stamina to play a full couple of games over 2-3 hours. We encountered four stragglers, one of which was a 7-8 year old black kid who turns out can take contact and run really well, though go figure given he was playing 2 on 2 football with what appeared to be his brothers before we asked them to join in. I have a feeling he's going to be a beast in HS football :P
There was a lot of bumping and running, and I even took a stiff block in the right shoulder, but I held up fine even after I thought I had strained my knee at one point. I quickly considered taking myself out of the game but discovered that I could run fine on it without pain and was able to keep playing. Other than being as sore as someone who plays 3 hours of football is, I don't feel any injury pain so I'm good to go. I do need to get my chops back with catching passes and running routes, plus I need to do a better job of actually making 'tackles' as I was blown by on far too many plays even when I got in front of someone, which fortunately I did a fairly good job of doing consistently. Eventually I just decided to play 'obstacle' defense and try to lead opposing ballcarriers as an obstacle into teammates who could tackle him.
We had a meal at Elysian (which I had game planned in advance for so financially I am where I am) and I forgot how big those burgers were. I could barely bite into it.
Afterward I caught a bus into Downtown, and we had to jump off near 6th and Stewart because apparently they close off Pine on Black Friday due to hordes and hordes of people. I hopped the next bus up QA hill, which happened to be the 13, and I decided to stop into El Diablo and do some more research on a project I undertook in the last couple days. I may look to do a writeup this weekend.
Off to bed. I will probably sleep well tonight.

Question for people knowledgeable about cats!
I'm moving to LA on June 1st. That means packing myself and my life up and driving 3000 miles. The girl I'm moving in with is from Chicago and is bringing her two dogs with her. I plan on bringing my cat, who is pretty much inseparable from me. When I leave on a job and am gone for weeks at a time, my mother tells me that he sits in my room, or lays on my bed, and cries for hours, or searches the house for me constantly. He's never as affectionate with anyone else as he is with me, and when I'm home he's pretty much attached to my hip.
First, how am I going to travel 3000 miles with him? I don't want to crate him, because he's a massive cat and likes to stretch out. He sits pretty well in a passenger seat without a cage, and after crying for 10 minutes (car = vet, but I've been taking him for small rides to show him that the car doesn't always mean something bad) with my petting him and coo-ing to him to calm him down, he usually just sits and watches out the window. Would this be okay for a cross country ride? What about when he needs to go? :(
Second, he hates strangers, and even more so, he hates other animals. How am I going to introduce him to not only a new house, but new strangers and two new dogs that arent his dog? He's pretty close with my chihuahua, and while I'm considering bringing Dax (my dog), I don't know if moving out for my first time and bringing both my animals is a smart idea. I travel for weeks at a time, and plan to have a part time job and go to school on top of that.
And on that note, third, do you think bringing my dog would help ease him into this new world? He's very close to my dog and I wonder if having both me and my dog would help assure him the world isn't ending just because we moved. He's only ever known my house, and mostly my room, for his entire 3 years of life.
Suggestions, stories, comments, anything! I know you guys are cat lovers!
(TL;DR... I'm moving and I don't know how to help my cat-who-doesn't-like-change deal with the changes.)

What should I do with myself? It's 1 AM, I'm not tired, and I'm done with all my online shopping/wasting money that I'll never make back. I would read, but Idk if I wanna read Tender is the Night, Great Gatsby, or Breakfast of Champions. I would watch Rifftrax, but I've already watched Harry Potter 1-3, and if I download any more my computer will die. Should I just smoke a lot of pot and go to bed? WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY LIFE?
Also, how was your Thanksgiving?
How was your Black Friday?

 | 10:46 pm - Family Crisis-Help!
So my family has a bit of crazies. Its mostly my mom though. I guess I can start off by saying my dad is very well off and he works so hard for every penny that we have, while my mom is quite a bit younger and has no education and a pretty shitty job. They have always spoiled me, and I don't work...All is well except that me and my mom don't get along AT ALL, I don't want to move out because I have a pretty high maintenance that I wouldn't be able to afford myself...and getting a shitty job? I'd rather die :( I wish I was able to get up and go to work though.
So I know that family is able to get through a lot of problems, but we sort of have always been on the verge of falling apart, and once serious things are said, its hard for things to get back to normal because we are all very emotional. So its come to the point that we are all tired of "talking about the problems", and my dad has had enough...so SOMETHING has to change. I think he didn't have a heart to kick me out, so he got his things and left.He thinks I'm the biggest problem, because I piss his trophy wife off, and one thing leads to another...but I agree, I can hurt and annoy people more than anything, but I have put up with a lot of shit, and now I just don't care. Deeply I just know that I may be breaking up the family and it will hurt me in the long run, because I really don't know what its like to not have anyone. If you were in my position, what would you do? Do I just shut up and work, and get everything I want, or...Do I "voice" my opinion?
