Outline

06:59 - When people give birthday/Christmas/valentine cards and such, when is it okay to throw them away? We all know the cards will get thrown away eventually; should we throw them away in front of the giver after searching it for cash, or perhaps just cross the name out and re-gift it as an eco-friendly gesture? -- Hoarding Hallmark

14:52 - My friend started a comic book store in our small town a little over a year ago. He plans to go out of business soon. What's the etiquette for the death of a friend's dream? Do I send him a card? If it makes any difference, he is not into hugs. -- Mourning Ms. Marvel In Logan

How to package hummus for trick-or-treaters?

im handing out homemade hummus this halloween and want to ensure it stays fresh and doesnt spill in the bags of trick-or-treaters. whats the best small, inexpensive container i can use?

28:29 - I recently moved to a town that has a reputation for being kind of dangerous. More oftentimes than not, I find myself on the other end of some aggressive stares from rough-looking individuals. I'm an Asian male, and as such direct eye contact isn't my area of expertise - coming out on top of a staring contest even less so. With that in mind, what are some things I can do to wig out people who try to stare me down? -- Glaring Gladiator In Gilroy

54:51 - There will probably be a max fun week meet-up a 25 minute drive away from our home, but my husband doesn't want to go because it's a Sunday night. How can I convince my husband that it's okay to occasionally go out on a school night, even though it might mess up our chore schedule? -- No Semi-Spontaneity In New Jersey
