| My room smells like odd, but I can't identify where or why it smells that way. I've done the laundry every week, washed my sheets, and even vacuum'd the floor every now and then. But every time I enter it, there's this consistent "odor", not overpowering but noticeable for 3 minutes and then my nose ignores it. So far I've tried Air Wick'ing the entire room with this delicious apple strudel smell, but that fades away just as fast. Help. |
| I'm sniffing straight into it, but it's mostly nothing. I only throw paper/office-based junk in there, since a real trash can's a few steps outside. |

Candor said: That sounds like a good idea. I've been wondering whether air conditioner counts, but I'll do it when the whether doesn't freeze my ass off. Does airing your room remove the odor, or just temporarily mask it?Tried opening the windows and airing the room? Olveparty said: Oh no, I can smell myself just fine. And like I said, it's only in my own room, so I don't know what's causing it.Take a shower, I've had the same problem, but taking a quick shower fixed it. |
| Do you have any pets who might have left a 'surprise' somewhere Mellow? ^^ Aside from that I can also only think of the trashcan which is the usual culprit when my room smells. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| get some of that stuff you spray in the air. u know, the stuff i can't remember the name of b/c my room smells of lovely girly things ^^ |
| Is there a possibility that some unscrupulous friends did something to your room that would have caused this odor? How long has the odor been there? |
daintybiscuit said: Yeah, I've been using Air Wick (which I'm quickly assuming is a lousy brand) to hide the smell. Compared to other brands on the shelf, it never claimed to "eliminate" any odors, so maybe that's the problem.

Infinite said: I leave my room unlocked, so that's not too far a possibility.

The best I can tell you is to not give it all too much thought when starting a conversation. Don't think about what the other person might think just go with the flow of the conversation. No person really dislikes talking to other people and a "pretty" person is just as normal a human as is everyone of us "normals". Mod Edit: Double post combined. |

-Linus- said: So, uhm, how do you dress? Dressing the way you like, or in clothes you like actually helps to a degree with how you view yourself. So, perhaps new clothes might help with confidence issues. Just an idea. I dress normally lol, and I've got new clothes?

Candor said: First of all: act normal. Don't try to be different just for the sake of being different or to look cool, 'cause you normally make a fool out of yourself. First step: Write normally without coloring. Done that? Well, you're one step forward. 2nd: Try to be neat and look good (showering + neat and clean clothes and hair namely), or try not to look/smell bad. 3rd: Try not to think of girls only as gf-material. (Thinking of them that way would give you a lot of trouble, believe it) Think of them as normal people you'd talk to and people you'd take as friends only. 4th: Try to be open for conversations. Try to start and continue conversations. Try to feel like you're on the same level of people you're talking to, try not to think of inferiority near them, 'cause you're not inferior to them. (For more helpful tips try Wikihow. Yes, Wikihow. It might sound weird, but those tips can do a big change to your life and how you see things. Type "conversation" and see what you'd get) That should probably help a bit. The rest is for you to figure out. First, thanks for your advices, second, I won't "stop" writing in color, I don't see any problem in that, third, might be not acting normal and not being open for conversations are my problems, I mean I'm not the type of guy who likes to show off and look cool, I'm not that social either, fourth, trust me when it comes to neatness even girls can't compete with me (I'm not gay), last, thanks again. |

| you don't need an old wine to be hot shit pick something reasonably priced, say 18 - 20 dollars talk to the guys at the store. if its a decent establishment, they really can help i suggest something like a Gabbiano Chianti. (for example) Thats just the sort of thing i would pick |
| In my limited experience with alcohol, I've found that two buck chucks can taste just as nice as some pricier deals. There's a well recorded sham (*cough* consumer idiocy) where lower-priced drinks barely made any sales, but as soon as the winery raised the bottle's price, they instantly sold out. Best example: Vodka. |

Best example: Vodka. Idk, but there's a difference between the 4€ bottles and the 12€ bottles. Ask anyone I know xD. The principle is true though. Also who had the idea that old wine=better? It's not Whiskey. There are good years for wine, but they don't change depending on age. Wines from a good year just become more expensive over time because they get rarer. But 2006 was a great year for austrian wine and those wines were delicious in 2007 and are still delicious and will still be in 20 years. The price will change, but not the taste. |

| I love naruto~kun he's my husbando~~~~ |
| Is there really a general rule about how many years it takes for wine to be considered old? Not to mention old wine doesn't equal good wine. Depending on the type/region/storage/whatever, 2-3 years can be enough to bring out its potential, but 1 year might be enough for most to begin deteriorating. |

| I like this thread, so I'm gonna ask more banal questions. So my non-stick pan, after frying several oily things (namely summer sausage), seems to have developed a "crust" of stuck-on oil, that not even the dish washer can get out. The problem being that this "oil" doesn't really help things not stick. So, I need help getting rid of it so my nonstick pan is actually non stick. And no, I ain't buying a new pan. I'm poor. |

Have you tried manually cleaning it with some dishwashing liquid? Or maybe take a knife and scrape it off? |
|
| Hm, dish washer is generally not a good idea for any pan. The easiest way out of this would've been cleaning it per hand after every dish you make. I'd just try whatever dishwashing liquid you have at home and try to get rid of that crust. Steel wool could help if you have that at home. Or just buy a new one....poor Mellow. If you buy a new one I'd advise you to buy a ceramic pan. They're really easy to clean because there's hardly any food getting stuck on the pan. |
emeraldrosary said: I'll do this and see how it turns out.@MellowJello 1.) Fill the pan with water and add 3-4 drops of vinegar. 2.) Set the pan on the stove and bring the water to a boil 3.) After a while you'll see the oil seperate from the pan and float to the surface 4.) When you see the oil layer then you can take the pan off the stove and throw away the water/oil mixture 5.) Wash the pan as you would normally Vudis said: On that first note, I do rinse after every cook. But washing after every use is a pain in the butt.The easiest way out of this would've been cleaning it per hand after every dish you make. If you buy a new one I'd advise you to buy a ceramic pan. They're really easy to clean because there's hardly any food getting stuck on the pan. Hmm. You know the reason why I probably have this problem is because the pan is cheap. *sigh* On realization I just noticed I've been treating my non-stick pan like a cast iron skillet. Great. |
emeraldrosary said: I wouldn't recommend this because you could damage the non-stick coating by doing this. That's probably the reason why my non-stick pan no longer is non-stick. I know they told me at the store not to use metal in it and only wooden/plastic tools, but fuck that shit, I am not buying a wooden anything. |

Oh, I forgot. About the dish washing liquid; yeah I tried that. No dice. |
| A wooden spoon is essential for cooking! Olve pls. Also yea, everyone should buy ceramic pans. They're not really that much more expensive but they're sooo comfy. Edit: You can put your wooden spoon into the dishwasher though. |

I know they told me at the store not to use metal in it and only wooden/plastic tools, but fuck that shit, I am not buying a wooden anything. Over time violent use of wooden tools will also damag the non-stick coating in my personal experience, so you only gain some time anyway. @Mellow: I usually just use hot water + dishwashing liquid and let the whole thing soak for a day or two, then I go in with the scrub. Depending on how intensely the food burnt that process may have to be repeated a couple of times until the pan returns to its original state. That method needs patience, but I have a second and third pan to use in the meantime because I live in luxury :P |

|
| I have one teflon whatever non-stick and one iron pan. What am I going to do with a wooden spoon when I cook my delicious steaks? I have a metal spatula and it's been with me for so long, I am never giving it up! |
