Sewing Machines
If you own an older sewing machine (even a much older machine), the place to take it for service is http://www.saveoursewing.com/, S..O.S. Machines, as in Save Our Sewing Machines, in Los Gatos. Can there be a sewing machine whisperer? If so, it's Nathan, who owns and operates this shop ( Read more... ) -
Cab to SFO
I need to be at SFO at 5:30 am (or a bit before) in a week or so. Is there a particularly good cab company for this sort of thing? Super shuttle wanted to pick me up before 3:30 am -- not interested in that! -
Dining opinions needed!
Cafe Yulong was my preferred place for meeting with old friends and hanging out over a decent and inexpensive meal. But where to go now that they've closed?

K-Pop at Google?
I realize that this is probably a lost cause, but if anyone has a spare ticket to the Google K-Pop concert, I will be your slave for life if I can have it. Well, gotta try, right? Anyone know how to get one? Ah, my heart is broken. -
vet for older cat?
Dear pet owners & cat people,
I'm seeking recommendations for vets for an older cat. The cat in question is what one might kindly call opinionated, so I'm hoping for a vet with a magic touch that melts away obstreperous cat anxieties & fierceness. A clinic that has evening/weekend hours is a plus.
Thanks!
