He's already made plans with another girl. It hasn't even been a full week since our breakup! Was he cheating on me by talking to her behind my back while we were still together? I don't care if he never acted on it while we were in a relationship but I believe this kind of communication is considered cheating. Do you agree or disagree and why?

I need to renew my passport. What is the website that will provide instructions on getting this done?

My BF revealed he and his girl "friend" slept together many years ago. He and I were not together at the time so he didn't cheat on me. But I wonder why he would keep it a secret especially when he's had plenty of opportunities to tell me. They are still really good friends.

After saying mean, awful things to my man, I want to call to set things right. I'm undecided if I want to try again and make things work. I'm undecided if I am going to apologize because, albeit vicious, I meant every word I said. Should I call. Should I give it a day? Wait until after the weekend.

Someone just transferred money into my PayPal account. I just logged in and the transaction has not yet posted. I still have zero balance. How long does it take for the transaction to show up? Thanks!

My PowerBook is in desperate need of an upgrade. It was last updated three years ago with Leopard. Not sure what is the next step up or if it's time to buy a new laptop?

they're self-absorbed and shallow - without using those exact words, of course.

I have a 7-year old Mac PowerBook G4 (version 10.5.8). It works well and I haven't overloaded it with a ton of files. But am I missing out on better options?

I did my taxes manually and although I'm getting a refund, I wonder if I can get a bigger refund if I use TurboTax. Would it make a difference? I'm using a 1040EZ and 540 2EZ. I only have W-2s.

Anyone remember the Christmas commercial where the couple is exchanging gifts as they take turns telling each other how wonderful the other is. They talk over each other as their kids look at them strangely. It was from 2011.

I sit next to the nosiest person at work. She's always looking over my shoulder when I'm looking up something (work related!) online. Other times, I have packages delivered at work because UPS can't ever get into my apartment building complex. The moment I sign for the package, I'm blitzed with questions "what's in there?" and "what did you buy?" At lunch, I go into the break room to balance my check book and pay bills and still, I've got someone trying to watch what I'm doing.

How to deal with this?

Please recommend red wines with hints of chocolate or with a chocolaty finish? Preferably something available at Trader Joe's of BevMo.

I have a co-worker who constantly asks for favors (i.e., rides to the airport or car repair shop, pick up various items for her). Worse, she puts people on the spot when asking for favors (as in, cornering them and asking them out loud so the poor person can't wiggle out of it). I did a favor for her once and it's the last time I do anything for her. She asked me for a second favor and when I couldn't help her, she gave me a guilt trip and acted really rudely. Any ideas for shutting this a**hole down the next time she needs another favor?

Do you think Coca Cola could secretly be behind this commercial? I mean, come on, with the cheesy Montell Jordan track and the even cheesier exchange between Santa and the Bartender, it makes Pepsi look kinda bad than good. I'm totally being sarcastic but you know, see for yourself:

Does that mean they're offering pay that is too low?

"Why did you resign?" It's the toughest question I face time and again at job interviews. I RESIGNED. I did not get fired. So why does it feel like I'm being unfairly judged for leaving a job that made me incredibly unhappy?

What's the best way to answer this question? My former boss was a micromanager and slave driver. But I can't exactly say that to a prospective employer, now can I?

I did some freelance writing for about 5 months and received a 1099-Misc form. How do I report the amount in Box 7? What's most confusing is the amount is less than what I actually made. Do I still report the full amount or leave it as is?

What are some good, inexpensive brands of Prosecco? Also, what's the opposite of Brut?

Is the $25 processing fee and the monthly fee of $75 legit? If so, is it worth the money? Will I book a lot of Extra/Background work?
