Resolved Question: Places to stay & visit near San Francisco (Napa & Sonoma wine country)?

We'd like to visit CA (from NJ) and spend a few days in both San Francisco and wine country. Can you suggest: time of year to visit, good bed & breakfasts/places to stay, places to east for dinner, wineries that are a "must-see," tours and/or other sights, etc. Looking for places that are modest and affordable, good views, decent nightlife, etc. We are late 20's to mid 30's in age.

Resolved Question: Why don't Americans without health insurance just marry Canadian or European women?

This is an easy solution to the healthcare crisis. For example, I am married to a Belgian woman. This gives me access to Belgium's socialized healthcare system. It's a good system; I fly there every year for a checkup and dental work and blood tests and all that kind of stuff. I had a shoulder operation that would have cost me a $5,000 copay on my American insurance for only $350 Euros in Belgium, and I went on a wine tour of southern Wallonia/Luxembourg afterwards, so it was also a vacation. Including airfare, all this only cost me $4,700, which means I actually came out $300 AHEAD compared to how the American healthcare system wanted to screw me. But anyway, this seems like an easy solution. If you need healthcare, just marry a European or a Canadian or someone from a country with national health coverage. In most cases, you can start getting benefits within a year of marriage. It's pretty awesome. Why don't more Americans do this, instead of whining so much and pushing for socialism? Just marry Europeans, dummies! more

Voting Question: Can anyone help translate this paragraph into Spanish?

I was recently given an assignment to translate 25 facts about Argentina into Spanish, but I lack the knowledge to do so. I know this is somewhat "Cheating", but I have no future in the Spanish language. If any kind soul who understands my situation could translate these 25 facts into Spanish, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you~ Argentina is located in the southwestern part of South America Argentina is one of the most culturally rich, fascinating countries on the continent. Argentina is home to nearly 40 million people. The official language is Spanish. It has a unique history. It is believed that Argentina was inhabited 13,000 years ago. Argentina, during the 1800s, were involved in the slave trade. Argentina continued to grow and prosper well into the twentieth century becoming one of the richest countries in the world. During the Dirty War, Argentinean's were resilient and strong. Argentina people were heavily dominated by the Europeans. The history of Argentina has been heavily influenced by European art, architecture, literature and lifestyle. Argentina is the place that discovered and made tango into the famous dance that it is today. Argentina has a liveliness and electrifying atmosphere. Many famous tango singers were born in Argentina. There are many great Monuments to see. Argentina cherishes a long tradition producing top quality wines. The Argentinean wine industry has become one of the most exciting things in the entire world. Argentinean wines produced from the fabulous Malbec grape variety, are some of the best values in the world today. Touring Argentinean wine country is a breathtaking experience. The Argentine wine industry is the fifth leading producer of wine in the world. Argentina is a wonderful place to attend college. Its universities are of a high quality. Its people are famously friendly. Universities offer great education as well as high quality food. Many professors are also known to help students after school.lol at the people who used translators. more

Resolved Question: Can you walk between wineries in any areas of Napa or Sonoma Valley in Wine Country?

Planning to visit wine country in northern California this summer. We don't want to drive for obvious reasons and are hoping to avoid the planned shuttle tours. From the maps, it looks like there are several areas with 8-10 wineries within a mile or two of each other. They're mostly connected by state highways that I assume aren't exactly pedestrian friendly, but is it possible to get a ride to such an area then walk among the nearby wineries at our own pace? This seems like an obvious question but I haven't really seen anything about it online. (I've read about "wine trek" planned tours that visit a few wineries and have hikes in between, we're not looking for that.) more

Resolved Question: what is the best way to tour wine country (day trip) in florence/tuscany?

Resolved Question: a proposal joke do you think it should get a star???

The beautiful secretary of the president of a bank goes on a sight-seeing tour with a very rich African king who was a very important client. The client out of the blue asks her to marry him. Naturally, the secretary is quite taken aback. However, she remembers what her boss told her, ...don't reject the guy outright. So, she tries to think of a way to dissuade the businessman from wanting to marry her. So, after a few minutes, the woman says to the man, "I will only marry you under three conditions. First, I want my engagement ring to be a 75-carat diamond ring with a matching 200-carat diamond tiara." The African king pauses for awhile. Then, he nods his head and says, "No problem!! I have. I have." Realizing her first condition was too easy the woman says to the man, "I want you to build me a 100-room mansion in New York. As a vacation home, I want a chateau built in the middle of the best wine country in France." The African king pauses for awhile. He whips out his cellular phone and calls some brokers in New York and in France. He looks at the woman, nods his head and says, "Okay, okay. I build. I build." Realizing that she only has one last condition, the secretary knows that she'd better make this a good one. She takes her time to think and finally she gets an idea. A sure-to-work condition. She squints her eyes, looks at the man and says, rather coldly, "Since I like sex, I want the man I marry to have a 14-inch penis." The man seems a bit disturbed. He cups his face with his hands and rests his elbows on the table, all the while muttering in African dialect. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the king shakes his head, looking really sad, and says to the woman, "Okay, okay. I cut. I cut." more

Resolved Question: Is it good to be the rich? hmmmm star worthy?

The beautiful secretary of the president of the Chase Manhattan Bank goes on a sight-seeing tour with a very rich Taiwanese client. The client out of the blue asks her to marry him. Naturally, the secretary is quite taken aback. However, she remembers what her boss told her; “Don’t reject the guy outright.” So, she tries to think of a way to dissuade the businessman from wanting to marry her. So, after a few minutes, the woman says to the man, “I will only marry you under three conditions. First, I want my engagement ring to be a 75 carat diamond ring, with a matching 200 carat diamond tiara.” The Taiwanese man pauses for awhile. Then, he nods his head and says “No problem!! I buy. I buy.” Realizing that her first condition was too easy, the woman says to the man, “I want you to build me a 100 room mansion in New York. And as a vacation home, I want a chateau built in the middle of the best wine country in France.” The man pauses for awhile. He whips out his cellular phone, calls some brokers in New York, then he calls some brokers in France. He looks at the woman, nods his head and says, “Okay, okay. I build, I build.” Realizing that she has one last condition, the secretary knows that she’d better make this a good one. She takes her time to think and finally, she gets an idea. A sure-to-work condition. She squints her eyes, looks at the man and says, rather coldly, “Since I like sex, I want the man I marry to have a 12-inch penis.” The man seems a bit disturbed. He cups his face with his hands and rests his elbows on the table. All the while, he’s uttering something in Chinese. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the man shakes his head, and looking really sad, says to the woman, “Okay, okay. I cut. I cut.” more

Resolved Question: Would you pay $40 for ticket to a dinner (food, wine/beer included) with part of the profits going to charity

I started an organizaiton that promotes education & awareness on evnironmental issues. I want to buy a bus and convert it to an RV to tour the country & do speaking engagements to promote the organization, & to let people know the things they can do to help the planet. I have figured out costs of the conversion, & it is somewhat more than I have. I want to hold a dinner to tell people about the organization. I will have dinner, wine & beer will be included, & there will also be a band-& may be some environmentally friendly product giveaways. I am trying to see if I will be able to generate enough interest & was wondering if people would give me their opinions. After the dinner, venue, alcohol, etc is paid for, a percentage of the left over money will go to charity, & then the remainder I will use to convert the bus. Would you pay $40 for this? If not, how much? After all, that's about what dinner, drinks and music would cost for a night out. And it helps charity too. Would u go? more

Resolved Question: Is it legal for me to sell tickets to a dinner?

I have a website to promote awareness on environmental issues. I want to tour the country promoting the site. To do this I plan to sell environmentally friendly products with the site logo on it to cover my expenses. I want to rent a hall and hold a dinner with wine, food and so forth. The purpose of the dinner will be to introudce my friends, co-workers, etc. to the website. I want to know if it is legal for me to sell tickets to this event, if so, am I allowed to profit from it, or only able to offset the cost of the venue and food? I would charge something like $35-40 for the tickets. A portion of this (say $10) would go to environmental charities, another would go to offset the actual cost of throwing the dinner, and the remaining money I would use for traveling expenses, to purchase the merchandise I will be selling from my wholeseller and to pay for the tremendous amount of biofuel I will use. If not legal, is there another way to sell tickets to an event to raise money? more
