We're having a casual wedding, where there are no bridesmaids or groomsmen. Tablecloths and chair covers are brown (satin/dark chocolate color), napkins are champagne color. I'll be wearing a white dress. We're currently thinking the groom will wear dark brown suite with brown shirt and champagne color vest & tie. Not a spec of white on the groom, and nothing champagne or brown color on me. Is that a problem? Should we try to work each others colors in, like a white boutonniere for him, or a gold-speckled bouquet for me? Or just let it go? Thanks

We eat fairly healthy, well balanced meals with lots of produce. I recently examined my credit card statement and was somewhat shocked that about $1000 goes toward food every month for a family of 3. This doesn't include alcohol or restaurants. Can't say that we eat stake and lobster every day. What is your family food expenses like?

Turned off the burner but left the pot on the stove with cooked eggs in it. Forgot about it and went to work. It's been 9 hours. House temp 65 degrees. Toss it? Try it? Smell it? Please advise

If someone has a debit/check card (with a Visa logo), why would they want a secure credit card? I'm trying to understand the need/reason for this product. Does it have to do with reporting to credit reporting agencies or something? Please enlighten me as to the difference between secure credits cards and Visa-looking debit cards. Thank you

Is it easy to obtain a pass to see the aquarium, Ruins Lagoon, Predator Lagoon, and the dig? Don't care about the water park, but those sites interest me. Will be arriving via a cruise ship in early August. Is it reasonable/easy to just get a pass and go the same day? Any idea as to the price? Cruise company excursion are expensive and rushed. Thank you

And is it different (i.e. both higher or both lower) for the beverage company and the retailer? This is for my own curiosity having to do with proposed large drink ban in NYC; not a homework question :)

May be you know what Koreans use in spas? Talking about full body scrub done with exfoliating mittens. I don't think it's plain soap. Thanks

Also, is the marital status on state forms always the same as on federal tax forms?

I have a 9-year old boy. Skin texture is starting to become rougher. I wouldn't call it acne, but still... Hasn't really been using anything but water to wash his face. What does your kid do? Anything tear-free and non drying on the market that you can recommend? Thank you!

I noticed this morning that there is water at the bottom of the dishwasher. What does that mean? Call a plumber? Do a test? Pour drain-no? I loaded it last night, wanted to add a couple of more dishes this morning and run it. Then I noticed the water (after loading the dishes). An hour later it was still there. I didn't run it. It's a whirlpool gold, 13 years old. Thank you...

I have almond oil, coconut oil, walnut oil, and olive oil - all food grade. I also have Vitamin E oil. Which one is better for use as massage oil?

Had 2 pumpkins rot on me; I've had it with the real thing. Not enough time to buy online. Where should I go for fake, carvable pumpkins? I live in a metro area/mid-Atlantic region. We have pretty much all box stores here. Thanks

Why have states adopted on-board diagnostic (OBD) testing for emissions instead of the standard tailpipe test? Is it cheaper? Faster? More reliable (seems like it would be less reliable to me)? Something else? Just curious...

This is for the flyer advertising lunch to which people should come in costumes. Please help me out. Thanks

My 8 year old boy is in the wedding, and the bridal party is looking for logistical suggestions. He'll be all dressed up fancy in a tux. He'll walk down with a pillow and the rings, and then what? Give the rings to the best man and throw the pillow into the audience? I gather they want him to stand there with the wedding party during the ceremony, so what to do with the ring and the pillow? What has been your experience with ring bearers? This is for a Jewish wedding, BTW.
