Winter in Tokyo: for a family vacation?

January 11th, 2012

Fanano asked:


“Konichiwa!”
Greetings,

We’re citizens of Dubai, United Arab Emirates and here holidays are longer in January and in the summer. So, that’s when we get the chance to travel.

As I read, Japan is best at spring, but for spring all I have is like 9 nights. I thought since I’m going all the way to Japan on a 9-hour flight, I should stay quite more, maybe around 20 days around the Tokyo Region. And I also heard that Japan is hot & humid in the summer, and that’s exactly what we don’t want coming from one of the hottest countries in the world!

So, basically, around January 6 till the 26th, is the weather acceptable?

We’ll be around 6 adults, 3 children, and 1 toddler.
We like to move around a lot; from downtown shopping to mountains and landscapes!

* Any relevant suggestions about places to go to will be great.

“Arigato” in advance! :)

My boyfriend’s not doing so well financially so I told him not to get me a xmas gift since there’s really.

January 23rd, 2011

ConfusedHMD asked:


nothing I want or need. And he got me a beautiful ring for no special occassion 2 months ago. We didn’t think we would see each other over the holidays, but now it turns out we will and I want to get him just a little something. I know he’s going to take me out to dinner because he always does, maybe I should take him out to dinner then? Or any ideas on something simple and sweet I could get him that won’t seem like I’m getting him a huge gift. I don’t want him to feel bad, but he has no family and hasn’t done the xmas thing in years and I would love to just see him get that cute little boy look on his face with a little present.

Is it safe to carry on taking the pill when you finish a packet?

January 4th, 2011

hypothetically speaking… asked:


Because it’s Christmas and I’m spending the holidays with my boyfriend, I (for obvious reasons), don’t want to be on my period (which is due xmas day and the days following). I am on “the pill”, but someone told me that if I just carry on taking the pill when I reach the end of this packet (instead of waiting a week and then continuing onto the next), I won’t come on and it won’t harm me.. is this true?

October 31st, 2010

Maria Bonilla asked:


My fiancee is an unharmed security guard for Wackenhut security. Currently the only benefit he has is one week of paid vacation per year, no sick days or anything else. Also he has worked on holidays like thanksgiving and the pay rate is the same, is that legal?

High Efficiency Furnace – off for holidays?

February 14th, 2010

Al asked:


My installer told me not to turn off my high efficiency furnace at the cottage in winter as it could freeze and cause lots of damage. I like to turn it off when I’m not there to save gas, what can freeze? How can I prevent it from freezing? My installer disappeared so I can’t ask him.
Thanks; Al

Would this be cute for inside our first Xmas card together as a married couple?

November 13th, 2009

Alyssa asked:


I know it’s a little corny, so give me ideas!

It’s our first Christmas spent as one,
A married couple, destined for fun,
Celebrating Jesus’ birthday together this year,
Is making it just all the more dear,
Hoping your holidays are cheery and bright,
Full of presents and family delight,
Looking forward now to 2010,
And cherishing our moments until then.
