I'm twenty five, divorced, done with school, and finally able to get out and see the world. There's just one problem: logistics.

Help me find new and/or offbeat things to do in central North Carolina--any suggestions? Bonus if it's just as easily enjoyed alone as with company.

I think that I overdid it with the partying this month, and I feel a lot less intelligent. Also, I've been reading nothing but graphic novels and zines for a couple months. I was wondering if someone could recommend some books that I would enjoy and that would kickstart my brain again. A list of literature I'm into follows.

I eat oatmeal for breakfast pretty much every day. Help me build a bowl that is as jam-packed with nutrition as possible, while still tasty.

I've been living on my own for about five years now, but I still cannot for the life of me understand grocery shopping. I've tried buying the staples, easy-to-cook meals, and even specific recipes. But I always end up ordering take out after a week.

All my life I've never felt comfortable singing and it sounds horrible. I don't know much about music but it seems like my voice goes flat and I have a hard time hitting high notes. My husband says it sounds like an alien trying to imitate the singing of earth people.
I would like to learn how to be comfortable enough with my singing where I could sing karaoke and possibly Irish folk songs. Right now I am very very far from being able to sing in public.
Is it possible to get better starting from being terrible or are singing lessons just for people who already can sing but want to get better?

What actually happens when one goes through credit counseling and/or debt consolidation? I'm in an ugly mess and I'm scared--everyone tells me it's not that bad, but that's only in comparison to horror stories. I see that it's not getting better anytime soon. Details inside--any practical advice is appreciated!

Many freeware games were released in 2007. How to seperate the crap from the good stuff? It can be a little hard admittedly but
this thread on the
Tigsource forums might help you. With around 30 categories (and a winner announced for each) ranging from 'Best Shooter' to 'Best Bosses,' there's probably something there to please just about anyone.

When applying for a job, how do I write a cover letter that doesn't sound contrived, and phony? The guides I've found don't seem all that helpful, especially considering most of the positions I'm applying for are entry level. General tips for writing a cover letter?

SchmoozeFilter: How can I interact intelligently with VIPs and other (self-) important people at networking events? Are there any salespeople out there who can help me? (I'm a government worker operating at the interface between the operational and the political, and much of my work involves protecting sources of funding).

CountryBluesGuitarFilter:
Keys to the Highway: Some Country Blues Resources --although
Weenie Juke Radio is now dead and gone,
Weenie Campbell lives on, with forums, guitar lessons and linkage galore.
Keys To The Highway lists lyrics and guitar keys and tunings for some notable artists. And the one for the
Mississippi Sheiks is a link to the fine country blues music blog
Done Gone, which has on its front page list of links just about every prewar, country blues and related site worth linking. As does Weenie Campbell. And at WeenieCampbell there are also some
audio lessons in mp3 from the great guitarist and guitar teacher
John Miller, these days a resident of my fair city.

I post this on behalf of a friend in need of passport help. Here he is: I need a U.S. passport in less than a week's time. I have been summoned to a foreign country on short notice, and it's crucial that I'm there when needed. I need to leave no later than September 17th.

4 Brothers Beats.
This is a tribute to all the original music that built hip-hop – the best beats in soul, funk & jazz collected by four brothers. An amazing collection of out-of-print releases from the 70s and 80s.

Late Night Shots
is an "invitation-only" social networking site for elite GOP youth of Washington, DC that the late
Steve Gilliard mockingly described as
"the best and whitest." The Wonkette blog has devoted an
entire section to the site that documents Late Night Shots'
racism,
date rape,
anti-Islamic prejudice, and
incest with second cousins, at least until
Wonkette's editor started getting invited to their parties. The founder of Late Night Shots,
Reed Landry, plans to take his networking site to other cities, but even though Wonkette has lost interest, the Washington City Paper has attracted scrutiny to the site again with a juicy new
exposé.

Recycle your computer junk.
A large US office supply retailer just became the first to offer everyday, in-store recycling for computers & other office technology, and will recycle them using EPA guidelines. Only $10 an item (smaller stuff like mice and keyboards are free).
