    - I think you're confusing it with benadryl. -- nm - Qale Sep 2, 11:55 6

- Walk of shame on the train? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 2, 11:46 1

ok, so, possibly awkward email / situation involving 1 of my college professors? ,,,details inside ... - i'm not dead yet ! Sep 2, 11:33 7
- If you're new to the program or don't know her well, highly inappropriate. Otherwise, just mildly tacky. -- nm - nubby Sep 2, 13:25
- a phone call would perhaps been better then a e-mail? - DaneDukeNuuk Sep 2, 12:35
- in normal curcumstances it would be inappropriate to enlist those 'underlings' who might feel pressure/obligation to renovate the prof's home but this - zeitgeist Sep 2, 11:44

- You never know. I emailed the company that manufactured my dehydrator - it worked fine for a month or two, then suddenly the trays became warped and - kelly Sep 2, 12:50 1
  - Yup, I figured I had nothing to loose by voicing my disappointment. Maybe I'll get a response when they get back to work on Tuesday. -- nm - Meg Sep 2, 12:56
