(former) High school band members: say you have Saturday practice. How long would a regular practice last? Ballpark figure.

How do I go about saving audio from a youtube video? I don't care about the video, but I'd love to have the song itself.

The link is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JYr534k-Eo - if anyone can lend a hand? Thank you :)

For any who might be able to answer, or direct me toward answers.

If you have lymphedema, who diagnosed it? Do I need to see a specialist, or start with my PCP?

If it was a specialist, what sort of specialist?

If you've been dx'd, are you receiving treatment? What kind of treatment, and by whom? Have you noticed an improvement in the swelling? Has it worsened?

I've been doing some reading on lymphedema, and a lot of the articles have talked about pain management/control -- and I was puzzled at first, because what pain? Except lately, probably in the last month or so, I've noticed some recurring pain in the area where the swelling is the worst (about midway between my groin and my knee). The swelling has increased, as well, which I'm pretty sure is NOT a good thing.

So. Any suggestions, information, advice anyone might care to offer, please feel free :) And if you're not comfortable discussing it in comments, feel free to PM me or email me at ohmickeym at gmail dot com.

I'm looking for a Sam/Dean story. The guys are in Sedona, AZ and Dean gets roofied, basically. Sam takes Dean to eat and they end up having to take it to go because Dean's getting all snuggly and lovey. At first they think it's a sex drug, but it's more affection; and when Sam's in the bathroom, or something, Dean roofies him (as per the instructions of the woman who drugged Dean), and it's Sam who gets the "super lust" hit.

I keep thinking the title is "Dioscuri", but I'm not completely sure. I know it's not the ficlet memphis86 did.

So, anyone?

ETA: Found! Down in comments, if anyone else wants to read it :)

Hey, y'all :) I come humbly before you once more, hoping someone can help me. I'm looking for a J2 story. It's an AU in which Jared is a novelist, and Jensen does carpentry/remodeling on houses. Sandy has left Jared, and he's depressed and unhappy and drinking a lot. Jared forgets that the remodelers are coming, and greets Jensen at the door hungover and barely human. They fall for each other while Jared's house is being fixed up, and I think there's a dinner meeting with assorted parentals -- and JDM is Jensen's dad/stepdad.

Ringing any bells?

I turn to you, O Flist, because the Flist Knows All.

The book I'm looking for is (god, don't judge me!) one of the Harlequin-types. Like, SuperRomance, or, y'know, one of the slightly-racier-than-the-average-Harlequin-titles. (Silhouettes, I think. Like the Silhouettes Desire books.)

Premise/summary of the story: A couple separates due to marital misunderstandings and lack of time together. She goes to Colorado with their two kids (boy and girl) to stay with her mom in her childhood hometown (small ski-resort town). Turns out she's pregnant with kid #3, which her soon-to-be-ex finds out for sure when he shows up on the doorstep on Halloween, having driven from Los Angeles in an attempt to reconcile. Dad is a driven exec who has trouble unwinding and letting go, and eventually he takes on baking in an attempt to get rid of excess energy and so on. There are a couple of attempts by the kids to make it so their parents have to spend time together (most notable is when they trick Dad into the bathroom while Mom is taking a bath, then lock the door from the outside). Mom goes into labor on Christmas Eve in the midst of The Big Snowstorm. (And they live happily ever after.)

Does this sound remotely familiar to anyone? *hopes*

*note: I'm pretty sure I read it some time in the early-to-mid-90's, if that helps any.

I'm looking for The Care of Infants, by Stellahobbit. It's HP/SS, and the gist of the story is that Harry's been cursed back to infancy, and needs to be hidden/cared for until either a cure for the curse is found, or he grows up. It's not chan; there's no sex happening until Harry is 17/18ish (or thereabouts).

The author's LJ has been deleted, and the link I have goes to Walking The Plank, where I get a message that the story isn't available because it hasn't been validated by the administrators, whatever that means.

So, does anyone have it saved somewhere? Or know of a working LJ link? I'm pretty sure it was a holiday challenge story, but I couldn't even begin to say from which year. 2006, maybe?

Anyone?



And NOW I'm going to bed. Dammit.

ETA: Found! Link is below in comments, if anyone else wants it :)

Well, sorta. More like a 'how to credit/present' something, within the story.

Part of the story encompasses 1941, and specifically there will be a scene where the characters are listening to Roosevelt's address to Congress (on the radio), after the attack on Pearl Harbor. December 7th, a day which will live in infamy... etc.

I want the address in the story, because I want to write the characters' reactions to it, while listening. What happens after is very key to the story. So--do I just incorporate the address, putting it in italics, and put a footnote at the end of the story? Or is there some other way to note that I'm simply borrowing the words? (And someone please tell me why on earth I seem to write fanfic that inspires footnotes? Yeesh.)

Any suggestions would be most helpful, thank you! :)

Also, I fail EPICALLY at writing today. I think I added about two dozen words. *sigh* But laundry's done, so I guess that's a fair trade-off?

I'm looking for two songs. Does anyone have a copy of Steve Carlson's Ballad of Denim Boy and Grey Girl and/or of Kareem Salama's Baby I'm A Soldier they could upload for me? I heard the songs while watching some songvids, and really liked them.

I might have ordered Kareem's CDs, too, but don't tell. I've looked around through Google for the Steve Carlson song, but keep finding everything but.

So, anyone? I can offer my undying love and gratitude, and possibly a drabble or two :)

Question for those who might know:

Character A goes to the local free (or not, but in this case it is) clinic for a persistant cough/fever. The doctor wants to do xrays to rule out pneumonia, but Character A can't remember when she last had her period, so she orders a pregnancy test. Would it be a blood test, or something on the order of a pee-on-a-stick test? If it's a blood test, how quickly do the results come back?

Thank you!
