Paging Dr. TQC:

Well, it's the holiday season, and of course the last few days have been filled with too much junk food and not enough fruit. This has led to me being bloated and constipated this morning. Besides going on an all-fruit/water/coffee/laxative diet over the next day or so, taking short walks and generally hanging out by a toilet, what else can I do? And if the bowel movement won't, ah, move, how long should I wait before going to a medical professional?

TIA (and apologies about possible TMI).

Inspired by this post.

WTF should I do, TQC?

The husband bought me ( this ) for Christmas and I hate it.

I want to tell him that I don't like it and I want to take it back to exchange it for something that I'll actually wear, but if I do, he's going to get all butthurt like he does every time I don't like something he buys me.

So should I be honest or suck it up and hope that I'll eventually like it?

I have this big fear of having luggage lost. Tonight, I am flying across the world and even though it is a straight flight with no connections, I'm a little nervous about my stuff.

1) Have you ever had your luggage lost?
2) Did you get it back?
3) Did you buy new stuff or just borrow from people? (or go naked, idk)
4) Did you lose anything megavaluable?
5) Was the airline helpful?
6) Please tell me I have nothing to worry about?

AOL Moviefone has released a list detailing what they believe are the best films of the decade, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban takes 10th place:



Of the movie itself they are quoted as stating that -

" During his third year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) learns that Lord Voldemort's acolyte Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) has escaped Azkaban prison with an eye toward making Harry's "Boy That Lived" moniker an overstatement. No worries, Harry's friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermoine Granger (Emma Watson) are on hand to help him sort out the shifting allegiances -- and shapes! -- in a tale where nothing is as it seems. Darker than the first two Potter films, to legions of fans the third installment of J.K. Rowlings' juggernaut may or may not be the best of the bunch; but, really, what Muggle wouldn't enjoy this."

Do you have a member of your family who is pretty much guaranteed to drink too much at family parties, holiday events, whatever and make a scene?

Ugh. It never fails.

what are fun things for three 17 year old kids to do in the tri state area?
I guess more along the lines of artsy-sorts of things, maybe somewhere we can take pictures or something?
I'm really sick of central jersey and want to go on an adventure today.

Do you buy clothing for other people as presents?

Why do people still think this is a good idea?

Why did my cousin buy me an XL sweatshirt when I am ... not an XL?

TQC, where can I buy a  nice wallet online?
Suggestions please

there are about 4 inches of snow on the ground and it has started snowing again. my dad just found an old wooden sled in the garage. i want to go sledding down our driveway. our driveway is on a hill and probably long enough to fit 7 or 8 cars nose to tail, and it leads directly onto a main road (not a street). on the other side of a road is a field which has a deep burn/creek at the edge. what do you think the likelyhood of me being injured is?

So for the past few years I've been getting acid reflex/heart burn and it wakes me up in the middle of the night. Not on a regular basis but still enough that it's a pain. For the most part I know what causes my small problem so I try to avoid them as much as possible within the hours before I go to bed.

Other than trying to avoid my causes as much as possible, What type of home made cures that you use that seem to work in this situation? (other than meds)

There's little room for Christmas jollity when you have several series' worth of stories to complete. So how did the Doctor do?




This year's Christmas Doctor Who was never going to pause and sniff the mulled wine. There are stories that need completing, fireworks to set up; the End of Time means No End of Plot. We've had the Ood – I find them harder to take seriously since seeing the cover of Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, but maybe that's just me – prophesying doom. We've had a ghostly Claire Bloom talking in riddles to Bernard Cribbins. We've had the Doctor facing up to death with enough fear in his eyes to make you almost forget about them filming his next incarnation. We've had one very sinister close-up of Timothy Dalton. Most of all, we've had John Simm's Master, brought most of the way back to life with unpredictable new powers and an appetite that has him more or less literally chewing the scenery. And that's before he turns every human on Earth into a copy of himself. It's been a rush.

TQC, I hope you all had a good Christmas. It's my birthday today! What awesome thing shall I do at home tonight? I really wanted to go out and get drunk and dance, but I'm kind of tired and most of my friends can only come out during the day because of work/babies. I have lots of alcohol at home.

Do you like to go out and do things on your birthday or do you prefer to relax?

This has probably already been asked, but I've only been back two pages - what was your favourite Christmas present this year? Did other people like the gifts you got them?
