Since then Kao has helped me out a lot by picking out which computer parts I need (or should get) for the "new" computer I built about a year ago, and he usually answers me pretty quickly in the Computer Troubleshooting forum if I need a question answered.

Huh. I keep forgetting the help forum. I should go hang there.

27. My toes can make this wierd annoying popping sound, on account of them being too long. I'm not sure why. It makes it handy to pick things up with my toes though. I seem to be the only one in the family that developed the odd toes though. Which really gets annoying during shoe shopping time.


My husband has long, strong toes. He picks stuff up with them too. He also pinches with them - it really hurts. He has a hard time with shoes too. Supposedly that's because of his high arch. Not sure if the high arch is tied in with the long toes or what?

Congrats on 27k.

Gotta go the other way on that one too. Tofu doesn't bother me either way, but can't stand Lima beans or Brussle Sprouts. Cabbage, I'm required to like due to a host of ancestral reasons. And it's actually pretty darn good with the corned beef! Smiley: cool

I have long toes and problems with shoes as well, but that's because my second toe is significantly longer than my big toe, and yet I have duck feet with a very broad big toe joint and pinky toe joint area, and a normal size heel. I generally have to get wide width (or even better, double wide width) shoes and then stuff the heel area with padding.

Or wear stretchy spaghetti strap wedges, that works too.

Yep. The rumor mill after I asked around at the time hinted that the dumpster diving methods I use pseudo-duplicated them.

I used:

1) Seeding. Sell 1 BD, bury it under other crap. Fish it up later, along with other possible things.

2) Testing. Clear a slot, sell a BD, see if it disappears. If it does, dig out trash and rake in the BDs.

Right around when Bazaar finally got turned on, if I sold one, it no longer disappeared if there was an existing stack further down. Consequently I didn't have to do any major digging -- I just cleared one slot, sold one, bought it back and raked in the riches. It wasn't a 100% shot at BDs but it made it a lot easier to dig for them, and not all of the merchants had BDs further down. If I had to guess, it may have been a problem with arrays not referencing things correctly. But it did drop the price of BDs pretty well at the time :D

I dunno, I don't have particularily high arches near as I can tell, but then again its not like there are alot of normal size 15 feet for comparison around here.

Well, the toddler definitly was. The stabbing was math class, the shooting was target practice.

I thought the second toe was supposed to be way longer than the big toe? though mine is appernetly about half an inch shorter than my pinky on my hand. Which seems odd to me.

It depends. Toes come in all sorts of weird lengths. The most normal for those of European ancestry is the first three toes of roughly the same length.

It's funny, in ballet they describe feet with much nicer terms than they really are. My duck feet are called "Grecian" feet. (Found that out when I took ballet years ago.)

When you sold stuff to a vendor in Everquest, you could actually buy back the stuff you sold accidentally...at whatever the vendor would normally sell that item for if it was actually put up for sale. There's a limit to how many different items the vendor could hold before it dumped what you sold into oblivion, but it was a pretty big limit. Originally you could only see like the first 16? different items or so (depending on what the vendor was already selling), even though there was a lot more. Dumpster diving in Everquest basically tried to access those hidden items.

In FFXI terms, think of it like being able to go through an NPC's inventory list and somehow buying Khroma ore that someone else vendored because they didn't know what it was for and didn't want to bother looking it up.

I know you did NOT bring up FFXI to me.

I used to play EQ, but calling it dumpster diving must be something fairly new and by new I mean something that came along in the last 6 years or so. I quit EQ when EQ2 came out and have only been back for a few free weeks and such. I remember how the vendors work and I can kind of remember people buying stuff off them, but the rest of it... not ringing a bell.

I could have been drunk though.
