You're going to Burkina Faso? My coworker's daughter's boyfriend used to run a coffee shop there...

Imagine you're planning a trip and you know someone, maybe distantly, who used to live where you are traveling. Do you feel obligated to ask that person for advice? What do you ask them?

Shooting the mob?

Can you recommend a good photographer in the Philadelphia area who will come to an event and take a group portrait?

Neither a borrower nor a lender be...or something

I'm feeling guilty about a personal monetary transaction I made with my boss, that ended up being way in my favor by accident (miscalculation on my part). He said he was fine with it at the time, should I try to make amends anyway or just leave it?

But what does it DO?

Corporate trainers, I need your help. I need to train some colleagues on the capabilities of an software package to prepare them for designing some upgraded features. However, they are not users of the software, so my standard new-user training is not going to cut it. Do you have any tips on how to do this kind of training/education? Any suggestions of training books or websites that can help?

SFO, quick!

I have a 6-hour layover in San Francisco on Saturday night (7PM - 1AM). I want to get out of the airport and do some Christmas shopping and grab something to eat for a few hours, say 8-10PM. Where should I go?

Curl-savvy stylists in the Twin Cities?

I am looking for a hair stylist in Minneapolis/St. Paul who is good with curly hair, including color, and will tell me what will look good on me.

Tired of being the office brain

I have a very good memory, which comes in handy at work when issues come up and I can recall the context and history. However, my colleagues have come to rely on my memory rather than developing their own knowledge or referring to other sources of information. How can I get them to leave me alone so I can get some work done?

Wait, this isn't mine!

I accidentally opened a piece of mail that was addressed to the former owner of my house. Due to the nature of the mail I feel I should make sure it gets to either the addressee or the sender (a person, not a company I can easily call up). But how should I do that when I've obviously opened it?

Feel my heartbeat

Is there some way I can view the data I'm recording on a 30-day heart event monitor?

Did someone mess with my coffee?

I bought a small skim mocha this morning (8 hours ago) from a local coffee place. It didn't taste right so I set it aside. Now, I took the lid off to dump it and there seem to be lumps of grease floating in it. What's that about?

Should we buy a house with a bad garage?

My fiance and I are trying to buy our first house, and the the inspector has told us that the garage is toast. How much of a headache will it be to replace the garage, and how do we pay for it?
