How do we keep a chinchilla in an apartment where roaches might be present without killing the chinchilla or attracting tons of bugs?

Are the Villages in Florida as nice as they seem?

My mom is considering retiring and moving from NJ to The Villages in Florida and asked me to check up on it a bit. It seems almost too good to be true.

Help lots of readers see my typography skills!

I designed a book for a (first time) publisher in Germany. He is looking for a (anarchist/indie/punk) book distributor in the US...or any advice around that. Can anybody help?

Help me combine two cell numbers from different markets into one family plan.

Family got iPhones + family plans. If I try to port my old number, it can't be added to the family plan because we are in different "markets". How do I get this accomplished / Who do I complain to at AT&T?

Jaws took place on the east coast...

Okay, it's Shark Week, and it's reignited my interest in this. I'd like to go diving, swiming or whatever with sharks. I live in New Jersey. How can I do this without breaking the bank?

I keep writing but I don't get to the end.

I'm going back to school and I haven't written essays in about...oh...five years. I can brainstorm like crazy, but I can't seem to structure it properly. As my girlfriend puts it: my essays are just black holes that suck up my time, and I get no where.

How do YOU get the data on the page?

I would love some examples of high end print design workflows, especially database driven ones. Store circulars, flyers, etc. The more complete the workflow you can describe, the better.

Maybe a little less Oblique?

Do you have any favorite oblique strategy style things that are specific for the art you use them for? Like one sentence techniques that go around creative blocks and allow you to do great things?

It wasn't "My Friend, the Vampire" or "M is for Monster"...

A young adult vampire book, published late 70's, early 80's? Involves a kid who meets the vampire in the basement of a library, falls asleep and wakes up having no memory of it. Main vampire's name is Radu, but I believe there were several other vampires around, also with "traditional" names (a "Carmilla" perhaps?).
