  • Should I get a gift for my colleague's wedding?

    He is my colleague , not close friends or anything. Never met his girl friend either. But we go out to lunch on and off with his friends at work. But he mentioned he didn't invite anyone except for close family. Not even anyone at work. So just wondering if I should buy a gift? They don't have any gift registry. I feel weird asking for his address to send them something home.

  • Is it normal for insurance companies to ask for proof of the next renters insurance to cancel existing one?

    I've my renters insurance with Mercury and when I asked the agent to cancel it, they want to see the proof of renters insurance from the next company we switched to. That's bizarre. I've never heard of anything like it. I never had to show proof of insurance to cancel any insurance.

  • Self Employed - Getting out of jury duty?

    To begin with, I'm no way biased about jury duty. Willing to serve. But I'm self employed and run a consulting business incorporated. I'm the sole person making money for the company and me primarily and if selected for jury duty i lose several 100's of dollars per day and work contracts. I've several 1000's in debt to pay. If I don't show up , I lose contracts. I got called in for jury duty recently and I sent an excuse mentioning this and they rejected it, saying only a judge can approve it. So I'm not sure if should retain an attorney and explain this properly to the judge or should I do it myself. If so, is it only possible to tell the judge on jury selection day or can I tell the judge before hand (several weeks before jury selection)?

  • What's the big deal in starting a auto leasing discussion on monthly payments?

    I keep reading over and over that never tell a dealer when you're leasing an auto about what monthly payments you can afford. And that you should focus on the sale price of the car. My point is , when I tell a auto broker or dealer that my monthly payment should be between $600-700 (knowing average on the market what good monthly deals on that particular model/options) , my car options are these, and my downpayment will not exceed for eg. $2000, and lease period will be 36 months why should I be bothered about the sale price etc.,? Because if Im putting only the downpayment I want, and paying only monthly what I decided to pay and getting the required lease term, why shoud I worry about sale price, apr, etc., etc.,

  • other than yes-man is there some other way to initiate the hoover dam war in fallout new vegas?

    I've completed "you'll know when it happens" and "wild card:finishing touches" quests. I,ve so far sided with yes-man ands the ncr. But for the final quest yes-man insists to blow up the generators. But as that turns the ncr against me, I don't want to do that. Now I can't seem to continue the main story line. Is there some other way I can initiate the final quests with ncr. I don't care about yes-man at this point as he seems destructive. I'm already have enough trouble wi the legion against me. I Don't want to make enemies of nor too!

  • Which saxophone is sexier and better to play romantic solos? ?

    I personally like the looks of Alto rather than soprano Sax (which doesn't have the sexier curves or looks - looks straight). But with the Alto Sax, will I be able to play good romantic songs that people would love more than the Soprano sax? Like Kenny G plays many Sax's (although his primary is Soprano). Most of his best songs on Sax is Alto or Soprano?

  • In farcry 2, I'm having trouble seeing the weapons I bought?

    I purchased 3 weapons from the weapons store, including a sniper scope. But they're not showing up in my selection pad. It only shows a handgun, a slicer(knife) and one of the weapons I picked up from someone else while fighting.

    But when I get to the weapons store, and I log on to the computer, it shows that I've purchased 3 weapons.

    I've been playing this only for couple days. How can use the weapons I purchased?

    Thanks

  • In fable 2 , how to get to the demon door in Fairfax castle?

    Ok, If you've already bought fairfax castle (in the fairfax garden), you 'll see as soon as you enter the castle main door there is a open space (a circular verandah) with a tree in the middle and you can hear a Demon Door below you. I can see it too. Also I saw that there is a entrace I can see below next to the demon door. Although I can't find how to get to it. I tried going into the castle rooms and I couldn't see any secret entrance from there to the demon door . How do I get to that door?

  • In Fable 2, I'm having trouble finding 3 gorgoyles that are in bowerstone market and in bowerstone old town. ?

    Ok. The first one I heart in bowerstone townsqaure is right next to the furniture store (behind the street produce store). I can't figure out where it comes from. I can also hear it when I walk into the alley between the furniture store and the tavern.

    The second one is at the end of the bowerstone old town where there is a big tree with a well next to it and where you can see a view of the city down. I keep looking there and I can hear it, but can't find it.

    The third one is right in the middle of old bowerstone where you can see lots of houses and banners hanging and you hear it but my neck is hurting by looking around :-).

    Also I have a document called "Gorgoyle Map", but when I try to open it (using A), it won't show any map. All I can see is some notes which are useless. How do I see a real gorgoyle map, so I can follow it?

  • In Fable 2 I'm stuck again at love hurts quest in the fairfax castle tomb?

    Ok. I got this far, and in the tomb that leads from fairfax castle, I got to a point where this Red Flit Switch (Target ) appears and the alarm sounds. Obviously I figured once it's red (not blue) and the alarm sounds, I can't use my gun to shoot it. I used my will power to activate it. However with lightinng and blades, it's pretty hard to hit it immediately, because after the first hit, the target moves quickly back (in less than 4 secs or so). Is there a way or a position in that room, where you can achieve this? Help!

    Hre;s the link of the picture of the room where I'm stuck with that red target

  • Fable II - Stuck in Love hurts Quest, Help?

    I'm at the part "Retrive part of the body from a tomb in WraithMarsh". So I'm already inside the tomb. But there is one location where a farting statue needs to be activated to open a door. So I did a fart action and the door on the right opened. However once you get into the door to the next room you need to stand up on a activation stone and when you see from there , you see a target upstairs straight ahead but far away, and I tried aiming with my gun very closely and shooting it, but it looks like it won't accept it and it's too far away.

    BTW, there is a gate in the previous room which is left of the statue, and it won't open (only the fate on the righ t of the statue oepns). So I'm thinking if you get into the left gate, I can get upstairs someone in the next room. What should I do to activate this gate or hit that distant target?

  • Oblivion Elder Scrolls IV XBOX360 - Another Strange but good Behavior!?

    Hopefully this is good. But not sure if this will affect anything. I'm almost done with all quests , so maybe have nothing to worry.

    Strange behavior: I'm at level 23 and noticed that since level 21, my level progress meter always remains at 100%. Which means, every time I sleep (every day - I tried it twice already) my level increases to the next level ( I get to increase my skills) and the level progress meter remains at 100% (doesn't reset). I wish it behaved like this at lower levels. It would have been great. But now that I'm almost done with all quests (except for a few), I see this. Hopefully this won't come and bite me in my **** later .

  • Oblivion Elder scrolls IV XBOX 360 Selling Strange behavior?

    I'm at level 23 and almost done with all quests except for a few.

    Problem: I noticed this for a while. Whenever I'm selling items (not stolen ones, just regular items) I have noticed for atleast for the last 8 levels or so, that my sell price for all items is limited to 600 gold . Even with he merchants where my disposition is at 100. And even if my haggle with that merchant (for e.g at Randir's staffs , or Best defense at imperial city) says buy at 137% sell at 80%. For e.g one item says it's original value is 3500 gold. But when I try to sell to these merchants , it's value is limited to 600 gold. 80% of 3500 gold is not 600. Doesn't make any sense. So almost all my items I end up selling for 600. So in a way I don't get any advantage selling it to one merchant with lesser disposition and haggle value Vs other with higher disposition and haggle value!!! Doesn't seem like a glitch to me.
