I’m 36 and looking for a cocktail dress for an upcoming trip to Vegas. I am having a heck of a time finding what I want online, finding only dresses that seem far too youthful for my age. Maybe I think that because it has been many years since I needed such a dress and I’m being too cautious. Where can I get help with this??

I have decided based on answers to my previous question that instead of purchasing a gaming PC for RTS games and fallout 3 to build one and based on my budget which is 600 dollars, I feel that this is a better option, so can anyone give me some tips on any good components I can get for this project of mine.

I’m planning on taking a family vacation to Cape Cod in July and need some information. We’re from Ohio and have never been to the Cape. I have 3 young girls 13, 10, & 8. We plan on flying into Boston, spending a day in Boston doing the Freedom Trail walk and catching a baseball game then heading to the Cape the next morning. Any advice on where to go, how to get there, where to stay, good swimming beaches…etc. Moderate budget.

We would like to spend approx. $50-$60 per night-so pretty low budget. We’d like to be somewhere that is near the beach (a must) and preferably near other fun stuff on the island as well (not as crucial). Thanks!

Hi. I’m an experienced traveler, age 32. I’ve had some stress in my life with illness and a death in friends and family recently.
I’ve found in the past that travel helps me re-focus in some way.
I don’t follow any one religion, and am open to a variety of destinations. I’m from the US and have about 3 weeks and a decent budget.
Can anyone advice a nice place where you were able to enjoy your time and find some peace?
Thanks very much!

I need one way trip to Dulles International Airport. If I take a flight, it will cost me 450 dollars non-stop versus 1 to 2 stop at 220.00. The multiple stops have no reasonable arrival time. Amtrak and Greyhound do not make stop at Washington Dulles however I would be willing to Taxi it if reasonable cost. What advice would you give to get me to Dulles International Airport with a budget under 200 dollars. Thanks.

only need about 500sq ft. to start. obviously if it grows i’ll need more. watching the budget, wouldn’t mind something unique, I am in an expensive area in a major city but could go suburban if i need to. don’t need too upscale yet. I’m not that interested in executive suite set ups but more along the lines of a sublease of an extra office. If anyone can share their advice or experience with this I would greatly appreciate it. This is my first move out of corporate so I am finding this stuff to be harder than the idea/business model/pitch part. Thanks.

I rented a truck from Budget and returned it within a few hours, no incidents and no problem with the return. When I rented, I paid extra for insurance.

Two weeks later, I get a garbled message from a Budget rep saying there was a claim against me for hitting a parked car. (A completely bogus claim).

I’m trying to figure out who the scammer is and the best way to handle it.

I figure scammer could be the guy who rented it to me or the agent at Budget who left the garbled message. I’m thinking perhaps because I had bought the extra insurance they are trying to scam their own company.

Or, some roving thug somehow was able to find the “truck number” on the truck and then called in the claim.

Any ideas on who is scamming me and the best way to protect myself? I rented it under my company name so I”m thinking the scammer assumed we were a “big” company that wouldn’t follow up.
