iphone question: if i lock my sim card will that keep me completely safe from paying international roaming charges, or should i take the sim card out of the phone altogether. i'm going to nz for a few days and i want to still use my iphone for reading etc or for internet where there is wireless access. tia experts.

just put it on "airplane mode"--you can still access wireless internet but no phone things will happen at all

your welcome,

an expert

ügh (jergins), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 13:46 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, that. Like any choice is nasty tasting medicine, I think.

do bees sting animals?

jergins, Thursday, 13 May 2010 19:06 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah but since bees only sting you if you bother them it's not as often as humans

do bees sting other bees?

can a self-loathing bee sting itself?

i received an "IMPORTANT NOTICE" about cobra benefits addressed to the "family of [tehresa] and spouse/dependents, if any"

q: am i dead?

tehresa, Friday, 14 May 2010 02:26 (thirteen years ago) link

no but i can email you my full name and ssn if it helps filling out the life insurance

jergins, Friday, 14 May 2010 03:06 (thirteen years ago) link

*wonders*

maybe this "tehresa" thing is simply a chatterbot/algorithm that generates message board posts in perfect imitation of the real, dearly departed Tehresa. so,

a: yes, you're dead in the physical sense, but your inimitable posting style will outlive us all.

Experts, I can't keep my eyes open this afternoon. What should I do to wake myself up?

jaq, Friday, 21 May 2010 23:49 (thirteen years ago) link

take a nap?

lxy, Saturday, 22 May 2010 01:09 (thirteen years ago) link

might have been a better plan than driving, I think!

calamine lotion?

smoove operator, Thursday, 9 September 2010 01:15 (thirteen years ago) link

I don't think I want to put that in my hair ;_;

jaq, Thursday, 9 September 2010 02:01 (thirteen years ago) link

lavender oil?

smoove operator, Thursday, 9 September 2010 02:40 (thirteen years ago) link

since it sounds like some kind of allergic reaction an antihistamine might help.

estela, Thursday, 9 September 2010 03:32 (thirteen years ago) link

Benadryl seemed to knock it out, but also me. Groggy now. I've been wracking my brains trying to think what it might be. Maybe some food on a stick I had at the weekend (music festival). Maybe because I turned on the furnace for the first time? I hope I'm not allergic to lovely warm air.

jaq, Thursday, 9 September 2010 14:22 (thirteen years ago) link

stress? i have been known to break out in the most bizarre rashes due to stress (has happened in years, but happened a bunch of times when i was younger).

smoove operator, Thursday, 9 September 2010 15:44 (thirteen years ago) link

I think it might be because I changed dishwasher detergent!

jaq, Thursday, 9 September 2010 17:18 (thirteen years ago) link

that was a rash thing to do.

estela, Friday, 10 September 2010 06:36 (thirteen years ago) link

A more likely culprit = macadamia nuts! I've been eating a few every afternoon around 2 - today by 2:30 I had massive hives all over my neck and the itching had ramped up to 9 when it had been around 4. Damn!
