My son is turning 3 in July and I'm looking for a fun place to have his birthday party at. Anywhere in the valley is fine. Thanks!

My son's 3rd birthday is in July and I'm looking for advice on a good place to have his birthday party. We did his last 2 at home, but it ends up costing a fortune, not to mention a trashed house. I want a fun, age appropriate place that he will love and will be mostly stress free for the adults. We like Jambo Park but are looking for other options as well after seeing some not so great reviews of the party packages. We are in North Phoenix but anywhere in the valley is fine. Thanks so much for the suggestions and any advice you have!

I want to get my fiance a book, but can't find one that seems perfect for him. He's a chef and loves Anthony Bourdain's books so I'm looking for something along those lines. Not a cookbook. I'm hoping to find something interesting, maybe about molecular gastronomy or offal meats, but a good biography would be nice too. Thanks!

I have a Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S and I'm trying to open a zip file but an error message comes up saying "No applications can perform this action." My boyfriend has the same phone and is able to open the same zip files I'm trying to open. Is there an app I need to download or a setting I need to change? Please help! If it makes a difference, I'm trying to open music I have downloaded from ThePier.org. Thanks!

My fiance wants to have another kid, but I can't make up my mind. Sometimes I think I really do too, but then sometimes I think it's just plain crazy. If we were rich, I would definitely want another kid. But we aren't. We could easily make it work so it's not too big of a deal, but I keep thinking that I would rather have extra money to be able to do fun things rather then be on a tight budget and maybe miss out on taking our son to Disneyland and stuff like that. My fiance is the oldest with 2 younger sisters and I'm the middle child with 2 brothers. He says it would be horrible to be an only child, but even though I love my brothers to death, I don't really think being an only child would be such a horrible thing for a kid. They can still have friends, and if we only have 1 kid we will be able to take their friends places. Wouldn't that be better than having to go everywhere with a sibling? He really wants to have 1 more kid and then promised he would get a vasectomy, but I'm just so torn. What are your thoughts on having an only child or 2 children (who would be between 3-4 years apart)? And how did having another baby affect your family financially? Any helpful input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My fiance and I are going to Hawaii to get married and then staying for a couple weeks. We are staying near Kona for a week and then in/near Hilo for a week. He's a chef, and lived out there for a couple years to cook. But I really wanted to surprise him with something amazing while we are there, since he will be showing me around and pretty much "planning" the whole thing. He knows I want to go zip lining and sky diving while there and then a lot of hiking and dining. I was hoping someone could tell me about a restaurant that would blow him away..though I'm sure he knows most of them on the island. Also, any other activities or places to see that aren't completely touristy. Any help would be great!! Thanks!

Also, we will be there end of March 2012. And I would love to get to another island for a night while we are there too, since he has only seen the Big Island so a nice place to eat on another island would be great. I just want to be able to do something for him while we are there too. :-)

My fiance and I are staying in Greer for our anniversary in March. What is a nice restaurant I could take him to for lunch on the way to our cabin? Also, how is the weather there in March? Any other ideas of things we could do on the way from Phoenix. We want to leave early but check-in isn't until 4 so we would have some time to kill, so any ideas would be great! Thanks!

For our anniversary, we are renting a cabin in Greer at the end of March. I would like to find a place to stop for lunch somewhere between Heber and Greer. Check-in isn't until 4pm so we plan on leaving in the morning and taking our time up there, so any other ideas about places to stop and things to see would be great too. Thanks. Also, how is the weather in Greer? Should we expect snow still? Thanks for any help!
