  What are some good walking/traveling shoes that don't look stupid?

  0 0 If you are going to be walking around while it's moderately warm or at least pleasant outside, and aren't opposed to sandals, I have to recommend FitFlops! I walked around London in them last summer with no complaints! They are seriously the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. I wear them everywhere, even just walking around the house. If it's cold where you'll be, they have a winter style you could try, but I had the yucky problem of the clog version making my feet too sweaty. (They also have a brand new version that looks like a normal shoe, but I can't speak for it since I have yet to try it.) If you are going to be walking WAY too much for flip flops, ignore me and carry on. If not, try some on! The women's version seems to be more common in stores (not sure about stores in Seattle), but you could always try some on to see if you like the feel and then buy a men's style online.

  I'm in an extremely bad mood at work, and still here for 5 more hours. What do I do to improve my mood and not hate my coworkers so much?

  0 0 Late to comment, but if you can get away with having headphones on while at work, listening to music/Dan's podcast will drown out your co-workers. At my old job, this worked wonders on days when I just couldn't listen to any more office chit chat. If listening to stuff is out of the question, how about taking a five-minute break and browsing your favorite funny web sites? (If you -gasp- don't frequent any funny sites, I can recommend some!) For me, laughing is always a nice stress reliever and mood improver, and it's always great to have a break from thinking.

• Comment on Neptune's answer…

  0 0 Wow, I didn't realize! My brother and I had a multitude of stuffed animals when we were kids, and we LOVED them. (I'm not going to lie, I still love them.) Stuffed animals and barbies were the two toys I always wanted more of. I attribute this - and the reason they're still my go-to kid gift - to my mom, who also loves buying cute stuffed animals for kids on birthdays/holidays. To store them, we had those wall nets that you hang up in the corner of the bedroom. So, I'm glad you said something. Stuffed animals are not for everyone. The OP should definitely consider how many stuffed animals his nephew already has, and maybe check with the parents to see if he enjoys playing with them! Neptune commented over 2 years ago

  Is it still customary for a guy to ask his girlfriend's father before proposing to her?

  1 0 I wouldn't call it customary, but whether or not you decide it's best really depends on how "customary" your soon-to-be fiance and father/parents are. Do you think they would react well to, and appreciate, it? Would her parents find it odd for you to "skip that step?" You're probably close enough to the situation to answer those questions. I have a friend who recently got engaged, and her boyfriend did it the old fashioned way: he went to her father privately before asking. Her dad is so laid-back, it's hard to think of that as necessary, but it certainly didn't hurt. I also have a cousin who got married several years ago, and the guy asked her mom privately (he showed up with a box of Godiva), since her dad is out of the picture. I agree with others in that it's not really about "asking for her hand" anymore, it's just kind of a polite heads up and about getting their blessing. Personally, I would find it more appropriate for the guy to talk to both of my parents rather than just my dad, but I can see how that might be more intimidating. Bottom line is, I don't really see how talking to the parents and getting their blessing could hurt the situation, unless they dislike you or something. If you all have good relationships, why not?

  My nephew is turning 5 on Saturday, and his clueless uncle has no idea what to give, and a small budget to spend... suggestions?

  1 1 I always find that a cute stuffed animal is a great gift for a boy or girl. Since he's turning 5, you could get him something a little more "macho," like a dinosaur, alligator, shark, etc. If you find a really cheap one, you can even combine it with another gift like an movie action figure (checking with his parents to see which movies he likes), a water gun since summer it's almost summer, etc. Neptune answered in Family & Kids over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 12 more answers »

  Can someone suggest some rock music with piano?

  0 0 Muse immediately comes to my mind, as I know they use both piano and guitar in several songs. Evanescence also uses both, but that's probably not type of rock you're looking for. Neptune answered in Arts & Music over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 6 more answers »
