Author: were can i find a place to go on a date but on a budget?
Hey Chuy,
While I like Lord Z’s answer, I also have a suggestion.
Get a pre-packaged picnic lunch or dinner (Or you can make your own) and go to one of the parks that has the free concerts.
You will find listings in the San Diego Reader. There are concerts at Bird Park in North Park, Balboa Park (at the organ pavilion) as well as other places around San Diego
OR
How about the same picnic and then (if they have started them again) watch the fireworks outside of Sea World. Or if you want to do this during the day – For the low, low price of $5.00 you can go to the tip of Point Loma (Cabrillo Monument) or save the $5.00 and go to Sunset Cliffs and watch the sun set.
Hope I was able to help,

Who is the saint who killed?
Jack, Jack, Jack…..
Joan of Arc, dude
She rocked, for a gurl….. And she saved France!
(I can’t remember who she saved them from, England, maybe — or maybe it was from the weird fashion industry that she saw in her visions)
James in San Diego
P.S. Ooops, I forgot someone…. Saint Patrick of Ireland — He killed the snakes — ALLEGEDLY! —
Oh, he had visions too!, I think that may have been from booze…
why do geeky guys seem to like to flaunt their girlfriend in front of so many people?
Hey Nd,
Much like the dog and his tongue….
Because THEY CAN!
Wouldn’t you, geek or not? I mean, when we are dressed well, don’t we walk a little taller?
When you have shined and polished your car, don’t you spend a little longer out there hoping people will appreciate it?
Done work on your house/yard, and then spent time with the neighbor hoping they would say something?
I don’t see any difference. When you’ve worked hard to get something you’ve wanted, you are happy to flaunt it!
Like I said, because they can!

How can I quit my job?
Hey Key-C,
Since we never burn bridges when we leave any situation….
Hi, I know you are very busy today — So I’ll keep this very brief.
You have NO idea what this job has meant to me, but I have made the decision that I need to expand my horizons. I will be leaving your employ on ___/___/___. I know that I am giving you short notice, but based on my knowledge of your abilities, I know that you will have a qualified replacement here shortly. As a token of my devotion to this company, I will do my best to train this employee to give the job the attention that you know it deserves.
I don’t know how to thank you.
I hope I added to your other responses! Good luck!

how do i go about getting a license for slot machine’s when the law passes in ohio? I would like to know.?
Hey John,
If the law passes in November, you can be assured that first, there will be challenges to its constitutionality.
Second, from everything I have heard, you will be paying a lot for a permit form the state to get one installed.
Third, the normal rules about proximity to schools, residences and places where children are present will be in force.
Lastly, I hope you guys fully understand, A slot machine is nothing more than just another tax. This law is being touted as a way for kids to get scholarships – really? I thought that is what you guys were already paying taxes for…

is Captain D’s fast food or full service?
Hey Ruth,
I don’t know what these guys are talking about! Fast Food? It’s my favorite place to go with my dates! I like the lighting, the ambiance, the music, the bathrooms (they always smell…. like….. turpentine) and I don’t even need the valet! I can just pull right up and part next to the front door.
BUT Fast? No way! Every time, it seems like it takes ’em like 2-3 minutes just to get our order and then another 10 or so to have it ready! Tell your boss the next time he needs something, like you to answer the phone, and just tell him you’ll get to it in 12-14 minutes! And they never seem to be in a hurry! They look at me like they can’t wait for me to get out of there, the ingrates!
No I like to think of it as LAZY service!

Where is a good French Restaurant in Southern California?
Hey Seven,
I have a few favorites – some also have websites. I’ve put my memories about prices next to their names:
Michel Richard Cafe $$-$$$
Bakery++++ Cafe+++
L’Orangerie $$$$-$$$$$
Fine Dining at it’s best – Very Old Money Between Fairfax+W. Hollywood.
Melisse Restaurant $$$-$$$$
Out in Santa Monica. Food is Very traditional.
Four Oaks (Used to be called Bel Age) $$$$-$$$$$
Expensive! But it is in Bel Air and it’s meant to be seen!
Le Petit Bistro $$-$$$
West Hollywood! Bring your little dog and sit in the patio. Cute but very Safe boy waiters, if you know what I mean
Le Petit Cafe $-$$
Santa Monica. It’s a little more casual. Check — the last time I was in the hood, they were opened some funky hours.
French Quarter $
West Hollywood. I don’t consider anything EXCEPT the interior and the name to be French. Food is a step above Fast Food, but after reading some of the stuff here (People actually say Denny’s is good….-:p ) So I’ve included it.
I hope I’ve helped more than I have hurt.

What is a creative name to say apple cider?
Hey WWWWWWWWWWW,
Apple Cider in it’s alcohol form is called:
Apple Jack!
So how about:
Virgin Jack,
Non-Alcoholic Apple Jack,
O’Jack (A contraction of “O’Douls” + “Apple Jack”)
OR
If you are in a social setting and do not want someone to know that you are ordering a non-alcoholic drink, just ask for:
Sparkling Cider
Most servers and all bartenders know that a Sparkling Cider means the Non-alcoholic Apple Cider that you are referring to.
I hope I helped,

What restaurant pays the most to servers with little or no experience?
Hey You Indian Jew,
Well, You know the answer to this one, and it ain’t In-N-Out! There are no tips allowed at our fave. burger joint.
So since all of the other fast food places pay even less, they’re all out.
So that means tipped positions. You can try smaller chains like Hof’s Hut where the need for experience is modified by the fact that they are in area’s around colleges. Also, you might try the larger deli’s like Canter’s on Fairfax – Since you are Jewish, you would fall under the sympathy umbrella from your fellow brethren. That being said…
If you’ve got “THE GOODS” — The best place for you to work would be as either a cocktailer, or…. a server at ………..
Hooters.
Hooters doesn’t rely on experience! They rely on “The Goods” and a personality. If you have both — you are very qualified! If you’ve only got one — talk to a friend about assisting you with the others (They sell many things at Victoria’s Secret that can assist you in adding qualifications).
Mostly, keep in mind that in Los Angeles, there are thousands that are trying to break into “The Industries” add to that, another few thousand that are college students, and you realize that you’ve got your work cut out for you. Try area’s that are freeway close (if you have a car) but far enough away that you are not near colleges. I personally recommend places like Silver Lake, Burbank, Los Feliz, North Hollywood, Downtown, and the casinos around the 5 and in Bell. I would add Universal Studios City Walk – but keep in mind my “Industries” warning.
If you can dress the part, Don’t forget sales jobs around Beverly Hills. If you are articulate enough and carry yourself well, many of the sales jobs around Rodeo, Beverly/Wilshire and Century City will pay wage, PLUS commission. The Holidays are coming up and you may do quite well for yourself!
Good Luck and Give ’em hell!

what is streptococcus b?
Gerry,
Your Mom (and your Pediatrician) used to call it a “Staph Infection”.
A Cat biting you might cause a Staph Infection. Viruses are able to enter your blood stream through the cats puncture. This would be different than cutting yourself on say a piece of glass. There may be germs on the glass, but probably not the bacteria that causes Strep.
Don’t confuse this with the bacteria that causes “Strep Throat”, while the bacteria are related the only thing they have in common is the way they attack your body.
A Strep B infection will involve swelling ( a lot! ) and typically an extremely warm area where the infection is.

Do you know someone who can remove carpet glue from tile floors?
Hey Victoria,
I’m am usually with “jit” time and time again. Try her method, but use a hairdryer first (not at the same time – You don’t want to start the WD-40 on fire!), Soften the glue and use the WD-40 to keep it from re-adhering to your tile.
They also sell a product called “Goo be Gone”, but I would follow the same instructions regarding heating it up first.
Everyone is forgetting that the glue now is HARD. It’s like Liquid Nails. On a normal hard surface, you could take this of with a scraper, but on a shiny tile, you will see the scratch marks.
The reason I mention this, is that you will find few firms that will do the work for you. They may do it but they will make you sign a liability form that excuses them due to the scratching of the tiles.
If you call a new home builder in your area, they employ firms that do this work all the time. Ask them what “New Home Prep” company that they use. New home buyers find things wrong all the time and these companies know how to fix most things — Sadly, alot of the builders that you call will have their own In-House fix-it guys.
Good Luck,

Where in San Diego to sell china, crystal?
Hey Helen,
You have a few choices:
CONSIGNMENT SHOPS: You will find a lot up on Adams Avenue in the Normal Heights/Kensington area. Also, along Newport Ave in Ocean Beach. There are others in Lemon Grove/La Mesa as well as a few in Pacific Beach. Look for either Consignment Shops or Antique Dealers.
If you are looking to sell things outright. Call first and ask if the appraiser is there that can make the deal on the spot.
KOBEY’S SWAP MEET: You will have to get your own permit from the folks at Kobey’s and be there in person to sell your wares.
E-BAY: I am amazed at the items that they are able to sell on E-Bay. You don’t have to be “There” to sell things. You can set minimum prices ahead of time and you can sell things with “Shipping added”.
If they are new or from a certain period, you can also see if there is a boutique that would act as a compliment to your glassware and see if they will let you set-up a display — keeping in mind that you may have to have your own display cases.

America has not converted to the metric system…WHY?
Hey Lexie,
COST! If you were in school during the 1970’s, the U.S. Government issued the directive that all students needed to be trained in the Metric System. However, many larger industries cited cost.
To re-tool industry (Lumber, Steel, Automotive, Forms, Architectural Drawings, and to some merit, Military) the costs to Industry (at the time ) were claimed to be prohibitive. Industry claimed that it would put them at an unfair advantage to bear the costs to re-tool and still remain competitive in the world markets.
If they attempted to convert today, the process would be much easier. More computers are now in use than in the 1970’s. Many more parts are made overseas as well as metric parts made here in the U.S. The cost, today, while cheaper, still is a major anti-metric argument. Our older vehicles (Auto, Aircraft, Ships & Rail) our infrastructure (electrical, plumbing and lumber) and our printed materials would still need to be supported with replacement parts and conversion abilities. This would still require companies to maintain two sets of manufacturing capabilities.
On the Home front. I am pretty sure that Aunt Edna would be confused if she was used to using 1 pound of butter for a recipe and found that butter was only available as 500 Grams. I believe that she would stop baking – and let you decypher her handed down recipes.
I don’t believe Americans are LAZY…. Hell, we don’t care what the speed limit sign says! Some say we can’t adapt, tell that to the people waiting in lines at airports! Like someone said, We’ve had 2 litre bottles of Soda since the 70’s, Nobody’s complained! We never were able to go to the banks on weekends or after hours – American ingenuity solved that little fiasco (ATM’s were installed 5 years ahead of Europe!).
Will we convert to Metric ? We were told if we didn’t we were going to be left out of world trading. Well, we’re waiting….
I hope I helped,
James in San Diego
P.S. To the guy that said something about money — Money is not cosidered metric! But I’ll be happy to take 10 quarters for my dollar!

Is Gastric Bypass Supposed To Be Preformed On Teenagers??Ages 12-18??
Hey D & G,
No, unless it is STRONGLY recommended by another doctor. I have heard of it being done by doctors, but in every case it has been at the request of other doctors.
I would check with the local chapter of the AMA or if nothing else, at least call your doctor or your local department of health and ask for other resources.
It’s a major physical as well as emotional drain on any person. Someone of that young age would have to be VERY level headed.
Thanks for caring!

anybody anticipating the new Meat Loaf CD as much as I am?
Hey “P”,
Being in my youth when his first albums came out as well as his “Rocky Horror” stint was filmed – I enjoyed him.
In the ensuing years, I was less enamored by his songs.
EXAMPLE: ” I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that! ”
He never does tell us exactly what “That” is. Plus his last few songs sound like “Bat out of Hell” the re-mix versions.
So, No! I would like to hear some snippets before I make a final decision.

How do men know if they have Hpv?Is there a kind of test to detect it (for men)?
Hey Rodrick,
Yes there is. It’s basically the same test that women get. The reason that men aren’t tested is that it won’t cause the same terminal cancers that it can cause in women.
Men also have a built-in warning system, although, few, if any know what they are looking at. In men, the first sign of an infection of HPV is genital warts. Whether they are Penile, Anal (Usually, even if they aren’t Gay) or Oral. Men typically disregard these symptoms as “Cold Sores”, “Pimples” or ingrown hairs.
I agree that it has been ignored — but as I said, the risks to men are minimal and with a normal immune system, a man is able to develop antibodies that keep it in a controlled “non-contagious” state, sometimes for many years. Like Herpes, this state can change depending on the male state of health (HIV, Stress, Herpes, Pneumonia or any form of cancer.).
Sadly, like pregnancy, society has put this one on the women’s front door. However, unlike pregnancy, this virus has caused many worldwide deaths and unless it is put into check, may soon be a leading cause of death among women.

How objective is science?
Well,
That depends on how you interpret the results. Remember Darwin wouldn’t disclose his findings for more than 50 years after he came to the conclusions that he did for fear of being laughed out of the science academies.
It always goes back to the central question: “Which came first, the Chicken or the Egg ?” We all know the answer is the Chicken, but can we really be that sure ? A well placed argument and a thorough investigation could convince anyone of a different outcome. But how do I interpret the results I see before me ? I need the BASICS of science to filter the argument into something logical I can interpret.
Those are my 2 pence!

Has anyone seen a better Starbucks than the one opened by my house?
Hey Igi,
Well, No!
See they have a new program that includes the more “suburban” homey look. So whenever possible (Usually in the smaller strip or self built locations) they’ve added the items that you have mentioned.
Depending on traffic (people, not cars guys) they will remodel the older locations to reflect those amenities, whenever possible.
So, No! I haven’t seen a better Starbucks than yours, I’ve only seen others like it!

How to become a bartender in Hollywood?
Gregory, Gregory, Gregory….
Could you pick a worse profession in the world to try to ply in Hollywood?
First, On the Bartender gig: What’s in a Rum & Coke ? Ta Da!
You just found that you are as qualified as anyone else. ( I did it for 14 years).
Second, On the Server gig. An Actor that waits tables….In Hollywood! …. I have never heard that one before ! (I did it for 10 years).
On the Gay gig… In Hollywood, Who cares? The best way to get a job in a Gay bar in the West Hollywood area is to have sex with the owner – and that will last you til the next weekend. Nope, my experience with the bartending thing is STAND IN LINE! There are more acting gigs in the town than there are Bartending.
Try this, If you can, contact places like Sunset Parking. The have Valet gigs all the time in the Hollywood area. The work is hard but the tips are good. If you have the opportunity, try a few of the hotels doing the same thing or even Doorman/Porter. Those are fairly decent tipping jobs.
If you have a car, try away from the Hollywood area. Some of the restaurants in the Burbank, Los Feliz, North Hollywood area need help around this time of year because Holiday parties are coming up. Also, try college area places like Hof’s Hut. They aren’t so much on the experience thing as they are in the personality department.
Messenger work / Delivery. Once again, you’ll need a car. But it can be lucrative.
Inventory. They always do this work at night. It only pays OK, but it’s steady. Same for In-N-Out, They only start you at $9-10 per hour, but they will work around most schedules.
Sign Spinners. They pay from $12-16/hour. Usually just weekends.
If you say that you are that attractive, most retail in Beverly Hills that specialize in Boutique sales will hire at hourly + commission. Depending on the merchandise, that could be a nice comission.
I worked for 10 years in television production in Burbank. I was good friends with the Director of Personel at Warner Brothers/Burbank Studios. His office door was the only door that you did not have to go through security to get into the studio.
He told me that on a DAILY basis, GREAT looking Guys & Gals would come into the offices, ask to speak with him and say “I would do ANYTHING to get a job on this lot!”
That my friend, is what I all COMPETITION!
Good Luck,

where can I find sign spinner signs?
Hey Taco Torch…
Have your tried the fine folks at FAST SIGNS or CR Vinyl Signs.
Any place that does vinyl letters can do the signs. You can also do them yourself. Any Art’s and Craft store will sell the base. It’s called Foam Core. You can cut it with a razor knife or an exacto. The sign company will do something called “Weed & Tape” for your letters – which is you give them the sign dimensions and they will customize a vinyl sign that you place on your foam core and remove the backing tape. Very simple, like putting those stickers in your windows at Christmas, or a sticker in your car window.
I am sure you will do fine,

How do you make swiss roll?
Hey Robin,
If you don’t want to go through the hassles of making a real Swiss roll, I’ve got a fake out way of making them that you will love!
Borrow cake pans from your friends – all the same size and shape, you will need about 6 total or you can do this with 2, it will just take longer.
Use your favorite boxed cake mix, prepare as directed.
butter & LIGHTLY flour pans.
Using a ladle, ladle enough cake mix into pan so that it’s about the thickness of a pancake. Spread the cake mix evenly around the pan with a spoon or spatula.
Cook for 6-9 minutes in the oven at suggested temperature (about 350) – KEEP CHECKING. They will be done when the sides darken slightly and the middle is firm.
Remove pans, cool slightly and put layer on cake/cookie rack.
When you have 5-8 layers, prepare a frosting (your choice, you may have to thin with heat or a little more water).
Frost each individual layer after you place on the previously frosted layer. When complete, frost the sides.
While this isn’t a rolled cake, the appearance is the same when sliced and you can use any combination of frostings (e.g. 1 layer jam, next layer frosting, next layer whipped cream, etc.)
Every time I try to make a Swiss roll cake, I either cook the cake too long or it breaks on me while I am trying to remove it/roll it. I found that this method makes me still look like a star at 1/4 the effort.

If it doesn’t say “Up to 18 hours per week” then that is not what your agreement is. A Judge will look over the facts, the agreement and will discount any verbal agreements. A written agreement always trumps any verbal agreement. There are no Attorneys involved in preparing a Small Claims action, but they will have people at the court to assist you in filing your claim. I don’t know if there is an expiration to your agreement (in writing) and in the absence of this, a Judge will make a determination as to how long the agreement should cover.
However, A few items that the Judge will consider that may not be spelled out in the agreement are:
1). Was your job in Sales and you didn’t produce enough income to cover your position ?
2). Did the company have a down-turn in business that may have caused an unwritten “seniority” action to kick in?
3). Did you claim to have a certain level of expertise that was not demonstrated once you started work?
4). Did your disability (with any possible accommodations) interfere with the completion of your duties ?
These basics and a few more that a Judge may bring up will all have an impact on your claim.
LASTLY, You state that you are from a small town area and that you are on S.S.I. Please keep in mind that if you do follow through with a suit, regardless of whether you win or not, you will never get employment in your town.
It’s a balancing act that may fall over on you for the reward of a few thousand dollars.
Good Luck,

P.S. The reason that attorneys told you that they wouldn’t take the case is that you weren’t willing to pay for them out of your pocket. This is nothing more than a Wage/Hour issue and every state limits attorney fee’s for Wage/Hour issues on contingency cases.

The Postal Zip code for the United States is:

Wicca Stores in San Diego?
Hey Chikka,
I am going to add one more to your collection.
I have never seen the name, but there is a banner out front that reads “Supplies for Today’s Witch”
It’s on Adams Avenue in the Normal Heights (Appropriate, Huh?) area, North of North Park. It’s between Mansfield and Marlboro on the North Side of the street (About 3400). Three doors down from a Christian Bookstore (Trust me, I couldn’t have written a more perfect script!).
Hope I added to your burgeoning collection.

P.S. Use the same method to make Ratatouille, just add your favorite marinara sauce.
how do people get 50%+ best answers without cheating?
Well Cziizi,
The two in question are Raju and Kevin (respectively) – If you go to their Profile, you will see that most of their Best Answers were “Chosen by Asker” – So they couldn’t have another account that “Votes” them best. Also, they have a tendancy to stay in a few selected categories. Kevin even answers this question in exceptional detail [ Go to Kevins profile and look at the question “Is #1 Kevin cheating?” — He answers it right there!] It may also help that Kevin is a member of Mensa & the father of twins (It’s that “Why, Daddy. Why?” that probably helps him too).
Raju and Kevin have been on Yahoo! Answers for awhile now and do truly “Think” about their answers or have the websites at hand to back them up.
So Sorry, Malarky, Malarky, Malarky!
The fact’s speak for themselves,

P.S. Now if you were asking about Brian Buckingham – He cheats like the devil….. Just Kidding !
why is it every time a kfc question comes up you hear from peta?
Hey Lander,
When you think about it, since few people wear furs anymore, what else does PETA have?
They tried to get the ranchers in Texas. Score: Ranchers 4 – PETA 0.
They tried to get the pork farmers in Illinois: Score: Farmers 2 – PETA 0
They even tried to get Oprah to help them: Score: Out of Court Settlement.
Let’s Start a NEW Group:
Personal
Enforcement against
Enrichment by
PETA
Engorged
Educators
Our name would be PEE PEE and our goal would be for people to stop making money off telling me what I Should or Shouldn’t put into my body!
I notice that they never go after Hells Angels for wearing leather motorcycle wear – Now That’s a fight I’D PAY TO SEE!
Just my opinion,
James in San Diego
P.S. To “G” – Does KFC send out questionaires asking “Do you treat your chickens worse than the place next door?” All chickens (raised for eating) are treated the same! It aint pretty but neither was Mexico City the last time I was there!
Fosters or VB?
Hey My,
I don’t necessarily believe that it is better quality. The alcohol content of the Fosters certainly will be higher than the VB if you say the VB is skimmed off the top.
Plus, if you drink Fosters from the can — MORE TO DRINK!
I just want to know where you are drinking for free from and can I come over?

Emergency question pls answer as quick as possible :(((?
Hey Budo,
Sugar!
You have taken away the contact with air by placing water in the jar, but the sugar puts the glucose concentrate so high that any critters can’t eat it fast enough.
Be forewarned, unlike Jam and Jelly, there are still bacteria in the Jar and what you are seeing is only temporary. If you boiled the Apple and Boiled the Jar, your “preserve” would last longer.

what type of wheat is pasta made from?
Hey Jack,
Nearly always universal:
Semolina and Duram. They are both wheat flours.
In Chinese cooking they sometimes use Rice Flour, Except in the USA where it usually is Wheat.

Can you prove that u are in motion without relating yourself to anything?
Hey Vamsi,
Not really, assuming you are referring to a fixed object. I could drop a coin from my pocket or spit, but that would be “something” — so No, if there were no reference (Time, Place or Object) there would be no way to prove it.

Who do you think makes the best hot dogs?
Hey Philbo,
Exact opposite for me.
1). Hebrew National
2). Nathans
3). Dodger Dog (It’s made by Farmer John – I know what’s in their meat).
(I’m talking about the dog without the fixings! If you are talking about adding the fixings, then my first vote is for Lums!)

can anyone tell me what the hell is eggs benadict ( not sure of the spelling) how do you make it?
Hey Mark,
The simplest answer is Chefzilla. Quite well said! Everyone in their haste either forgot:
“Poached”, “English Muffin”, or “Canadian Bacon” Without these, you don’t have Egg’s Benedict!

Is there only one way to make hash browns from potatoes?
Hey Dude,
In addition to the fine things that have been mentioned. Follow the Germans — after rinsing AND patting dry, add a beaten egg and make a potato pancake. Cooks the same way, but the egg will help in an even browning. Serve with apple sauce or sour cream (really good if you have added green onion) or serve with Hot Sauce!

Wanted: Sugar Free Cookie Recipe?
Hey Naomi,
I’ve got a simpler method. I’ve done it for years.
Substitute Honey for your sugar/molasses. You will have to reduce the amount of water/oil just a bit, but you won’t find that the cookies taste all that different. The cookies brown a little less though.

how do you get bank charges credited?
Hey Fargo,
Well there are 3 ways to deal with this once and for all:
1). The obvious, always make sure that you have the right amount of money in your account. You signed this agreement when you opened the account, sorry.
2). Talk nicely with the Manager on Duty. Explain that your financial situation is not as it once was. Each time that you get a bounce charge, there are other debits outstanding – you try to cover the charge but sometimes you are not quick enough. Ask if there is any way for her/him to credit these back to your account. (If you only have had a few – they will almost always credit back some or all)
3). Change Banks. Just don’t leave any cheques outstanding. They all share information, and if you leave cheques or fee’s outstanding, the new bank will simply close your account.
You are probably young. This will change as you get older.

Can I allow patrons to bring in their own alcohol in NY without a permit or license?
Hey Missy,
I am writing to back-up Grille Girl. Until you have written confirmation from the New York Alcoholic Beverage board – DO NOTHING!
I have heard many stories about restaurants and bars that assumed that since they had applied that they either could start serving, could start serving in a new area, extend their hours, etc. EACH TIME, the ABC has stepped in and imposed fines, shut operations (One friend had to shut down for 30 days! AND spend $7,000 in lawyers fee’s to only get shut down for 30 days!) and put further limitations on the soon to be issued/expanded license.
They are not there to represent you — They are there to regulate alcohol! You may pay thousands in fee’s – but as a small business they really couldn’t care less. Change your venue to Madison Square Garden – Then they’ll sit up and take notice!

Is Quizno’s not the best place to eat ever?
Hey Moose,
I’ll give you that its a good place too eat! I like the fact that they have really good soups so that if I am eating with someone who doesn’t feel like a sandwich, they have another option (Which you can’t get at Subway! )
I have to disagree with Patti, she seems to think that this is a domain for the USA only! (The Asker is “Canadamoose!) Third World Country? You should visit one — most would love to be able to eat as well as you can at a Quiznos.
Pricey? Yeah, compared to the $1.00 deals at McDonald’s or the three slices of meat you get at Subway!

Disability payments reduced?
Hello Kimberly,
I am going to assume that your are referring to S.S.I. when you say disability and not state or private disability insurance.
Unless he is receiving SSI for also taking care of children, the answer is No. If he is getting money for taking care of his kids then probably. You would have to prove to the U.S. Attorney that the wife was not providing for care for his children.

In order to meet some unexpected financial emergencies, is it better to go to my credit line or portfolio?
Hello Punjab,
Since this is an Emergency, and assuming that you will not have costly early withdrawal fees on your portfolio, go with your credit line. If your credit line is like most in the world, you will have your first 30 days of borrowing free. You may always pay this amount off within the 30 days with no financial cost.
If your first 30 days are not free, then your portfolio please, (Unless you are the lucky man who is able to see a return of 30% on your investment portfolio.)
