I want to buy a French Press coffee pot but I'm not sure if certain brands have features that others don't. Looks fairly straightforward and most appear to be the same but if anyone has an opinion, I'd love to hear it before I buy one.

I'm deciding on which GPS to go with (Garmin and TomTom are on the top of my list) and I really want to have a good voice instead of the generic one they come with.

I have friends who have purchased new voices for theirs but wondered (and I know this sounds NUTS) if anyone knows if Mike Rowe does a voice for any of the GPS systems? I could listen to him give me directions all day ;)

I have a miniSD from my previous cell phone and my new phone takes MicroSD...

The mini came with a card reader but nothing else and I'd like to know how to transfer from the mini to the micro. Thank you very much!

It isn't the joint really, feels like the muscle or whatever behind my knee aches really bad. Oh and just under my knee hurts...but if I wear heels, I don't have any pain at all. Is this crazy or has anyone else had this happen?

I have a new laptop and a linksys router (wireless N). The router has 3 computers connected but the laptop won't even see the connection (it did for 5 minutes but wouldn't connect). It sees neighboring connections but won't connect to those either (secured). I'm at a total loss!!

I have a video ipod, about 4 months old. I keep having to reboot it, more and more frequently. Today it pretty much is worthless; it stops a few seconds into most songs, is dragging - if I advance to the next song takes a minute or two before it performs that action. Grrr...anything I can try here before I take it back to the Apple store?

One of my front tire rims always is covered in dirt or dust or something. I'll clean it and within a few days its totally black again. None of the other rims have this happening to it...is it something from my tire or what?

I'm thinking about going to Morocco on vacation. What time of year is the weather best? What towns are best to visit? Is it safe for a woman to travel there alone?

I see signs that say 'no cigar or pipe smoking' but cigarette smoking is ok. What's the point? I don't smoke anything so it doesn't really matter to me, but I just think that one kind of smoke is ok and others aren't. Any ideas on why this is?

I have a sweater made up mostly of: Acrylic/nylon/cotton/ and about 5 % angora. Its labeled dry clean only, if I wash it in the washer on the handwash cycle, gentle with cool water will it ruin it? I am just not feeling a trip to the cleaners for a silly sweater.

I'm looking for a good board or DVD game to buy for visiting family to play. I buy a new one every year at Christmas and have no idea this year. We like the dvd trivial pursuit games and stuff. Between 2-8 people will play at any time. Thanks!

I live in the US and a small group of friends and I are planning a trip for next September, maybe 7-10 days long. We'd like to go overseas but are drawing a blank on where...where's your favorite place to go or thing to see overseas? All suggestions much appreciated!!

I'm trying to find a really nice cutting board for a friend, I see all kinds of different woods - does it matter?

I am sick and went to the doctor yesterday. After he handed my prescriptions he said 'I really want to push fluids on you'. The last thing I feel like doing is drinking. Why is it the moment you don't feel well, you're told to drink a lot of fluids?

For me, it's when a sock slips down into my shoe. I had on a brand new pair of socks and one of them kept slipping into my shoe. I have no idea why but it made me want to kick something.

I've had 3 ear infections in 4 months, what would cause an adult to get so many so quickly? It isn't swimmer's ear, just regular ear infection. I've been off antibiotics for 2 weeks and this morning I can feel the same pain in my ear coming back for a 4th time.

As far as I know, I take care of my ears and this has only started in the past few months.
