I was thinking about a free gift like an inspirational book and a list of employers who hire felons. Any suggestions on what els to put in the packet? What would be a nice gift to help them get started?

Anyone know of the show where an alien family came to live on Earth? The show's title is the girl's name.

I'm pretty sure it was made during the late 80s or early 90s and was palyed on local American television for quite some time. I attempted to research myself to find out, but was unable to find it. The family was fleeing something life-threatening from their own planet; they look exactly like humans; had trouble adjusting to life without using their "powers"; the girl could play the violin; the family consisted of a man, woman, girl, boy; had friends in neighborhood & in school; fit in fairly well. That's it---all I can remember. Please, I would appreciate serious answers...if any former fan/ other person who has some kind of guess can help, please do. NOT LOOKING FOR DUMB ANSWERS LIKE: X-Files, Andromeda, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.......You get the point. Thanks again in advance.

Need some exotic animals help?

I am writing an modern adaption of the Sherlock Holmes story "The Speckled Band" and a character owns a cheetah, baboon and poisonous snake. How can I write into the story about these since I don't think you're allowed to own one? Are there any loopholes I could use? Thanks :)

Feta Cheese: Use instead of Cheddar in enchiladas recipe.?

I have leftover Feta, Swiss & Cottage cheese from earlier this week. Can any of these cheeses be substituted for the Chedder called for in a vegetarian enchilada recipe? Or do I have to buy cheddar cheese today?

Fantasy baseball question?

Magglio Ordonez benched indefinitely, is he worth stashing in a 12 team mixed, or just drop him for Cody Ross or Juan Rivera? Or a starter like Ubaldo Jimenez or John Smoltz?

What was the most interesting thing you did today?

I went to a festival at the park. It has everything, music, dancing, art, advertisers (doctors offices, newspapers, local businesses), children's games, a car show... It was a lot of fun! One of the dance groups had four year olds in little belly shirts and mini skirts. That bothered me. And some of the vendors were rude. But I had fun with my mom and my friends! :)
