| Tomorrow, if you believe the weather folks. It should also be 17 degrees warmer.
What other job, besides TV weatherman, can bring in a six figure salary and be wrong more than half the time?

| No, but I was hoping for a suggestion of a job that I might actually want.
I don't really want my salad - what should I have for lunch instead?

How much shall I spend on lunch?

I'm planning an event for work, should I do a single cuisine (italian or asian) for the finger foods or mix it up working the strengths of the cater?

| Always want what the caterer does well. It is much better than trying to make the caterer do what you want well.
Can you get the caterer to let you taste test about 50 possibilities?

| 50 sounds a little iffy, I would go with 48.
When do I know when to stop eating? | |

| When there is no more food to be had.
How can I be sure that what I am eating is, in fact, food?

| You have two options. One, you can ask the Interwebz, or two, you can wait for the results of digestion. Neither are particularly pleasant experiences.
How much would someone have to pay you to eat something that you are fairly certain is not food?

| Depends on the food and person. Use this equation:
Where:
P = Willingness of the person, in decimal form (1 being 100% willing).
F = Quality of the food, on a scale of 1-10.
C = Food Constant, Constant formulated years ago on how much it takes to get someone to eat something, $5 starting price.Based on human nature's doubt on why you're trying to get them to eat something. As history shows, $5 if the amount needed to break the doubt barrier.
Amount needing to be paid = C + [ (1-P) * (9-F) ]
Yes the answer can be negative, and that's when they should be paying you for the food.

| Probably by saying "Yo. Welcome".
Why are things always easier to see in hindsight? Perhaps I should've stopped her after that second chocolate martini...

| Perhaps because the reality doesn't show up until later? Heck, I have doubts about anyone who could actually manage to drink a FIRST chocolate martini 
So, is this party we are having tomorrow going to be a success?

| I don't know, but I hope it was.
If there were one thing you could change from the recent past, what would it be?

| I would have started wearing arch supports sooner than 3 weeks ago. If I had done so, perhaps the heel of my back foot wouldn't hurt as much.
If you were going to both fence well and make sure to avoid injury, how would you go about doing it?

| Find a coach that teaches proper technique. It really does help avoid injuries.
That aside, is there anyone out there that makes fencing shoes for guys with big feet?

| Indeed I have. Pretty sound advice, I've got some more thinking to do.
Have you ever worked your own advice column?

| Nope, although my friends say that I tend to give pretty sound advice.
Have you ever had a dream about jade shop? (Fulllll of pretty things, I wanted them all! Actually I want to know if that shop exists in real life so I can go buy things there.) | |
