The bag I'm looking for must go well with the three conditions above. I think I may have found it. The size is perfect! What I need help with: Black would be my go-to, but would any other available color fit with the above three things? Nothing light-colored, of course; I want to keep the inevitable hand-grime to a minimum. Also: Would you indeed declare this bag to be the thing? I'm pretty nutty about it.

Just that simple. Those of you who have experience with selling things on Craigslist/NextDoor, etc, how do you come up with an asking price? Algebraic formula, gut instinct, throwing darts at a bull’s eye? Any guidance you can give would be appreciated, as well as any other secrets to your Craigslist success.

The car dealership sold us our 2015 Subaru Forester with the wrong size tires, with a remote starter installed (that we didn't know about) - but without the fob - and lastly, with illegal tinting. I have this information and now I have to go back to them and...ask them to do what? [more inside]

My bright child has found “burninglaserpointer” dot com and wants to buy one. This site seems a little hinky. Does anyone know if it’s a good source? Are there other sources? Apart from that, would anyone in their right mind ever let a child use a laser with very close supervision and safety goggles? This is a two part question. Thanks for any help.

I didn't notice that I had been charged until the subscription renewed this year and I looked back through my PayPal transactions. The email address has now been corrected, but what are the chances that I can get my money back for last year's subscription? [more inside]
