They can also be used in a self-depricating manner. ^^ Its not always bad stuff, it just means there's more to be said, good or bad or otherwise.

Well, when I see "Thanks..." or "I guess...", I definitely see a reluctance in there, because why else would they be pausing in their phrasing? If I said, "This picture is cute!" and they said, "Thanks...", then I'd see it as possibly a sarcastic/insincere "thanks," because why else would they include an ellipsis instead of a period? And if I saw "Heh, funny...", then it definitely feels like a "Funny... but" sort of scenario. Yeah, that's exactly how I see it. xD I always feel a bit awkward when people use it, because it's like "Well, I've got more to say but I won't say it because it wouldn't be tactful."  And yeah, I know some people--most people, probably--use it just to indicate uncertainty or thoughtfulness. I still automatically read it the same way and have to remind myself to look past it at the actual message. |

Thanks, Komori, that makes sense  Another dumb question: So, a typical method for making a neopets userlookup is to make a large background image with designated spots for all your modules, then move said modules into position, right? ...What is the procedure for figuring out how big said module-spots need to be? I've been winging it and I've gone through five different versions of my image because I keep making everything too small. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about here, take a look at my last attempt. Massive image warning. The gold plate-looking things are where I want to put my stats, neohome, pets, etc. but I can't figure out how big they actually need to be to contain said things without being disproportionate.) I've never made a Neopets userlookup, but I'd just take a screenshot of your modules and figure it out from there. :3 Especially if you have a program with layers, that makes it really easy. Ick... sounds like they need to shut that place down. New question: Why is it that a piece of art that looks perfectly good at first can sometimes look awkward and strange when horizontally flipped? I personally think it does so because you're just used to seeing your image that way; the same way living with (for instance) people with no arms every day will, after a while, accustom you to seeing people with no arms. So when you flip it the other way, that jars the image you have in your mind and therefore looks totally awkward. :3 Another thing could be to do with balance. My face, for instance, is a bit unbalanced. My jawbone on the right is lower than the one on the left. It's noticable in photos unless I tilt my head a certain way. If I do, other aspects of my face balance it out, and it looks quite natural. Does this make any sense? Since I'm posting from an airport and I'm dead tired it might not. :3 |

When you're out in the cold or something long enough for your fingers to go numb, is it common for only one finger to really feel the worst of it and go completely white? And why would only one finger experience the worst of it while the others just got a bit cold?

So, uh. Does anyone happen to know what the general comfortable range for a tenor is? XD; Or a bass, for that matter? I always wonder about this when I try to write music that guys are supposed to be singing. Because, y'know, I don't sing that low, and I have no idea how low on the bass clef people normally go. I'm not sure if this webpage helps: www.library.yale.edu/cataloging/music/vocalrg.htmI've cross-referenced with a book I own on choral composition, and the book lists the ranges mentioned on that page as being the extremes. My book lists the ranges as follows (I'm using scientific pitch notation): Tenor:Very Comfortable Range: G4 to D5 Average Range: F4 to G5 Maximum Range: E4 to A5 Bass:Very Comfortable Range: B♭2 to G3 Average Range: G2 to C4 (middle C) Maximum Range: E♭2 to D4 *finally looks at this* ...Are you sure you posted what the book says for tenor? o.o Because if C4 is middle C, that looks more like soprano. And even then, I know I can get down to middle C. (Of course, I think I'm kind of a mezzo soprano, but still.) |

And why would only one finger experience the worst of it while the others just got a bit cold? That's never happened to me that I can remember. I'm fairly sure all my fingers get cold at the same time. But I suppose it has something to do with circulation. Maybe there's some reason why that one finger has worse circulation than the others (like maybe you wear tight rings on that finger?) |

How many PMs can our inboxes hold? *has been curious about this for a while*

How many PMs can our inboxes hold? *has been curious about this for a while* They can go pretty high. Currently I have over 3,000. XD ...As far as I know, though, it's unlimited. |

How many PMs can our inboxes hold? *has been curious about this for a while* There's infinite space. But having way too many may cause the inbox to corrupt itself. Such a thing happened to a member here quite some time ago, their account was toast. XD |

My fingers had more-or-less the same exposure, so I'm guessing it is a circulation problem. Come to think of it, it seems to be pretty consistent with that finger suffering the worst. >.> What would cause that? |

Such a thing happened to a member here quite some time ago, their account was toast. XD Ah. XD That's good to know. *has nearly 90 PMs atm* I was worried that there might not be room for over 100, or something. If I remember correctly, it's a Windows program, and doesn't work on Mac. o.o I'm not sure though, I've only checked it out once. ……… Great. >_> Just greaaaaat. *Sighs* Is that why I haven't gotten the PM yet? I've tried that, and it never works for me. :/ I have Windows 7. EDIT: Never mind, I just tried again and it worked. =D |

So out of curiosity, at around what number do PM inboxes start asploding?  |
