After 13 years of vegetarianism - my entire adult life - I've decided to start eating meat. Looking for advice in the form of books, websites, and personal anecdotes.

Please tell me you remember an episode of
Davey and Goliath where Davey steals a hypnotic, psychedelic toy from a friend and learns a valuable lesson in return.

What am I allergic to? I have reactions from the following: bean sprouts, kiwi, bananas, pecans, and lots and lots of raw vegetables such as carrots and raw snap pea pods, though I can eat them cooked with no problem.

I want to make a daytrip into Matamoras, Mexico in about a month. I've done this several times in the past (mostly to Neuvo Laredo) but right now I do not have a passport. Has the North American 'passport-only' travel rule taken into effect yet, or does it kick in January 1st like my father says?

A friend is hosting a party tomorrow night with the theme "Night Life of the Gods & Goddesses" where all attendees will be dressing as their favorite god and acting accordingly. I'd like to make an interesting and appropriately themed dish of food to bring.

I've got a several month's supply of Zoloft sitting around that I no longer use. I'd like to send it to a friend in another city, as she's got no insurance and the damn stuff's expensive. We both have valid scripts. Am I asking for trouble?

So I thought for certain the hard drive on my old desktop G4 was dead. Upon startup, I was getting the "whirr CLICK whirr CLICK whirr CLICK whirr CLICK" sound, followed by the flashing question mark on my screen. Out of frustration, I gave the HD the ol' Fonzie: I whacked it good three or four times. I am now typing this on said computer. What happened?

My new apartment in New York City came equipped with a built-in ethernet internet connection. So far, I've maxed out at just over 1 meg a second, though that's only happened a few times. Besides downloading media via bittorrent and p2p, what recreational net activities should I take advantage of? What's the best way that I can 'speed test' my top d/l speed?
Also, any guesses on what type of connection I likely have? T1? T3? How would I find this out without bothering my landlord?

Recently, Azureus 2.2.0.2 has started freezing up my Mac. My processor (or something inside my machine) makes rhythmic, sick-sounding whirring noises. This only happens with Azureus, not any of the other taxing programs I use. Uninstalling/reinstalling didn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

My girlfriend inherited a couple of cemetery plots a few years back and has had them up for sale with a company ('Cemlot') that, for a one time fee, promises to keep them advertised 'til they're sold. No luck so far. We want to unload these things. Does anyone have any advice on selling plots?
