I will be in Center City for a conference in a few days. I'd like to take my old bosses out for dinner to show my appreciation. Can you suggest nice, but not CRAZY expensive restaurants (say, 3 people can eat for less than $150) in the area? A short cab ride from the convention center is all we'd like to do, please don't suggest Norristown or Bala Cynwyd or Plymouth Meeting.

I will be attending a conference in May and I'm looking for a nice restaurant to take my former bosses. I want it to be nice, not too terribly expensive (perhaps $25-40 per entree) and easy to get to from the convention center. Any ideas? This is to be a "thank you" dinner for all their help. We like all kinds of food.

I'm taking my mother and auntie to New Orleans next month...they are church going Black ladies, but not stuffy. they will enjoy Bourbon street for one night, but where else? Where should I take them?

Both involve fried rice but what other ingredients separate the two?

I grew up with a guy I was CRAZY about--we dated but he married someone else. I'm single now, and so is he and I'd like to nudge him into a more romantic relationship sometime before we die! Any ideas FROM MEN over 35 on how to get him to take the plunge?

I can send them to another cellphone, but how do I get them to my computer so I can do something with them?

I downloaded an audiobook that I got on sale into my iPod and it came in as 8 discs of about 50 (1 minute) tracks each...needless to say, that is now the most frequent thing to pop up when I select random play. Before I take them all off the iPod and iTunes, I wanted to know if anyone knew how to set the iPod to ignore certain songs on random play? I'd love to ignore the Christmas songs sometimes, too. and religious music when I want to get dressed for a club! But mostly I wondered if anyone knew if this was possible.

I love this stuff (low alcohol, great flavor) but i can only find it in Puerto Rico. Does anyone recall seeing it in the mid-atlantic area? PA? DE? MD/DC/VA?

I know there are still some "winding watches" around and I do have one or two like that...and I like them. But I have also become fond of the Citizen eco-drive ones, that run on light. Does anyone know if there are other brands with this kind of battery-free technology? Barring that, are there any winding watches that you particularly like? Especially if they cost under $100.

How do you make that cheese and how do you cook the dish with the cheese? I've also seen it with peas and cheese. I've moved from the area where the owner of the local Indo-Pak grocery used to help me select spice packs. So I need to know how to do it from scratch.

I really like pasteles. What do you like?

I'm not much of a drinker, but I tend toward the 'girlie' drinks...the kind you stick and umbrella in. So, tell me about some of your favorite drinks, particularly if they are made with rum, vodka, or cachaka <sorry no correct characters to spell this--the brazilian sugar cane spirit>

I am a lousy driver. I admit it. I need a car that's responsive so when I do something idiotic on the road, I have time to respond. I'm a lousy judge of distances, so I needs it to be fairly small and with an automatic transmission and power breaks and steering. anyone out there have an idea for me?

I want a lightweight camera phone that I can use with Cingular services that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I'm not poor, but I don't see any reason to throw money away; I want good value for my money. Any suggestions for me?

the best what to find products is to ask other sisters. I have found good solid shampoos http://www.prairielandherbs.com/hair.htm and optimum oil therapy products have cured a 20 year flakey scalp problem almost immediately... http://www.softsheen-carson.com/?p=269&category=44

Meals in DC can range from affordable to "must morgage something to pay for it". What ethnic restaurants <non-american food> have you liked and could afford?

Is it ingraned in human beings to despise the "other" among us, or is it something unique to western society?
