My fiancee went to see a dentist for the first time in a long time.   Upon the first visit, the dentist asks why she hasn't gone in so long.  Is it because she's afraid of bad news or that the dentist will try to upsell her?  Well, don't worry, they assured her, they're not that dentist!  ...

I know this looks bad, but I need assistance in changing some light bulbs.  These are the bulbs in question:     The bulbs have "Sylvania Dulux S" written on them, and they're 13 watt bulbs.  Has anyone changed one of these before?

Hey all, I'm just looking for a little bit of advice. My fiancee wants to move to San Francisco to pursue professional aspirations. I'm inclined to follow, but am a little bit unsure given the state budget crisis in parallel with the national recession. If you lived in Seattle with a...

I've got a friend who's desperate for some love. So far we've set her up on match.com. Anyone have any success on match.com, eharmony, craigslist, or any others? If all else fails, maybe we can start a head-fi matchmaking service? Any lonely guys in seattle between the ages of 25 and 30?

For a few months now, my 2001 Honda Civic has been stuttering. It usually happens when I'm close to a full stop, accelerating or decelerating. All the electronic in my car will turn off, then turn back on... I took it to the Honda dealership, and they determined it was something wrong with...

I was just wondering if many people are even aware of the Millenium Development Goals. I just recently started to familiarize myself with it and couldn't resist getting involved. I just started interning for The Borgen Project, which is a non-profit organization that is lobbying congress...

Does anyone prefer the SR-60 over the SR225? If so, why? I'm trying to decide which of these two to pickup for the holidays.

There are times I feel like my HD650s produce heat. And sometimes I wonder if certain factors affect the amount of heat produced, such as crossfeed on my amp, or 192khz upsampling in foobar. Am I crazy? Do certain headphones produce more heat than others? I'm not talking about isolating...

I've always wondered: On forums like this one, at what point does a thread die (stop getting new replies)? Who is the last individual to post on that thread, and is their post the single reason why the thread stopped getting replies? Is there any way we can tally how many times a member is...

I'm searching for a new apartment. I've kind of been undecided about whether I'd like to pay $1000/mo on rent or find a cheaper place and pay $500/mo. Let's say hypothetically I make a fairly decent salary of approximately $32k/yr, have student loans, have credit cards, and other expenses...

When I had an alcohol-related mandatory suicide counseling at school, I was deemed well-adjusted and grounded by my therapist from the get-go. With suicide off the table, we talked about dreams to fill the required sessions. So I printed out some of the dreams I typed out. My therapist told me...

If a member of an online community is trying to sell something through the respective forum, in your opinions is it proper etiquette to just ignore their attempt at trying to rip people off? Or is it better etiquette post a reply to their sale thread informing others that better deals can be...

***WARNING, MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON 4 OF THE TV SHOW 24*** I was watching Season 4 of the wildly popular TV show 24 with my fiance, and I stumbled upon something that I thought head-fi'ers would find funny. In this season the Secretary of Defense is kidnapped by...

I was laying in bed watching The Office when my gf and I suddenly had an uncontrollable craving for fried chicken. We're quite the notorius food hunters, but we've never come across a satisfactory fried chicken! We live in Seattle, so naturally Ezell's famous fried chicken is a great place to...

I have the hardest time waking up my significant other. She stays up all night reading/watching tv, and I always seem to involuntarily knock out early. Then when it's time to wake her up for class, she won't get up! Waking her up for an 8:30 class isn't too bad, because she's still fresh from...

Of the people who have extensively tried both Grado SR225 and Senn HD650 (with whatever cable), which did you prefer and why? I would prefer if the answers were one or the other, as these threads are usually prone to produce "I like them both equally depending on my music or for variation"...

Recently I've revealed my headphone hobby to my girlfriend. She was sort of surprised at first that I'd spend so much on headphones, but after she listened to my hd650s, she began to understand. Anyway, she was thinking about buying me sr-225s for my birthday (for me AND her), and I was...

I'm looking to buy an interconnect from headphile for my e-mu 1212m. I've done as much reading as I could from here, and read the descriptions of the different ICs from headphile, but I still don't know the apparent difference the ICs will make and how much of a difference. What's the difference...
