Where can I find affordable wedding gown in the bay area? -

where can I find affordable wedding gown in the bay area?No David Bridal please.. we went there and wasn t too happy with selection, we even went to the great mall.

See sites below for ideas.

Try Jessica McClintock in downtown San Francisco. Most of the gowns are from $170 - $400. She also has a website, but I think you can find more gowns in the real store. The online selection isnt very big. :)

Try House of Brides. And for affordable wedding jewelry and accessories, try http://www.glamforless.com.

Go to Joanne s and find a pattern - it can have very simple lines. Then find a seamstress and fabric. Have the dress made.

Id like to move to Hawaii, but my skin is SUPER pale.Will my skin get damaged if I live there for a long time? -

Alot of my family members were born in and live in Hawaii, and I would love to live there too!But I was wondering, is it alright for me to live there if my skin is really pale?I mean, think of the PALEST white person you ve ever seen, (not someone with a skin disease)I get sunburned easily if I stay in the sun for about 4 hours and don t use much sunscreen.So should I always use sunscreen ALL THE TIME while living in Hawaii?

I am on the pale side I use sunscreen on my face neck every day, no matter what. If I think I am going to be outdoors much more than going between the car the house, then I sunscreen arms, legs, neck... whatever will be exposed. My kids are strawberry blondes like most redheads, they burn very easily. They both use sunscreen religiously. It s just part of living in the tropics.

I once met a white woman who had lived in a beach house in Hawaii for about 50 or 60 years, and I have to say, the doctors did an amazing job replacing her nose. I am really bad about not wearing sunscreen, since I work indoors during the sunniest hours. I ve been known to sunburn during a fire drill, though. I do know a Local of Native Hawaiian descent who does not leave the house without SPF 15, at least. When I know I m going to be in the sun, SPF 70 with Helioplex, Baby! But I do try to avoid the sun between 9 AM and 3 PM. Seriously.

Right there with you Hawaii home.You will get darker for sure, and idk, i dont use sunscreen. but then again, my skin got really damaged. But whatevers, I m asian, born with light skin, look filipino now. Just spending time in Hawai i will darken you, and after you get darker, the sun won t affect you as much. My advice, just come to Hawai i, you wont regret it. Pale skin, pshh, no one cares really, you ll be fine.

Between 10 AM and 3 PM, everyone should use sunscreen. Wear a hat and long sleeves when possible.There are a lot of pale people here, so you would have lots of people to get advice from.After 20+ years of not taking precautions, your skin would develop tumors and spots, most likely.

yes, you will. just like my uncle, he was really pale, and he stay in the sun for only 20 minutes, and now he has skin cancer, and he is scheduled to die very soon. we will miss him very much, but life goes on

What are cheap places to stay for a week in downtown Ann Arbor? -

I m looking for a cheap place to stay that offers a private bedroom and bathroom with shower near downtown ann arbor, near central campus of university of michigan. I m visiting someone for a week and cant afford to stay at most of the hotels cause they all are at cheapest $50-$60 per night. That will add up to around $400 for a week which is much too expensive. I can afford around $100, maybe $200 but that s the most I can pay. Is there a hotel/motel I haven t heard of? Or any other way of staying somewhere. Please let me know, thanks.

I Searched on this site and got the Cheapest Hotel,Check it out,it also had Discount Coupon Codes for Expedia,Orbitz,Travelocity,Kayak, Priceline,etc.http://freetravel4ever.blogspot.com

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

Driving from Vancouver BC to Denver Colorado? -

We are going to drive from Vancouver to Denver around the end of December... I heard the weather condition could be really bad along the way...So I m wondering is it do-able? What should we prepare for beforehand to avoid delays in our trip? Thank you in advance!

Yea, its definitely do-able, but you just have to have a little extra cash on hand in case you need to stop along the way for an extra night at a hotel due to snow. Dont drive the mountains at night, especially if its snowing at all. thats about all you can do- expect the worst but plan on having a great trip because you may not have any delays at all- its really very different. Also- the mountains are plowed quickly- so they may have 3 feet on the sides of the road, but nothing on the road- just watch for black ice at all times.

Well, there is a sever storm rolling through there about now so definitely check the Weather Channel and weather.com for updates. Also check Denver road conditions very frequently:http://www.cotrip.org/roadConditions.htm��Be prepared to either cancel the trip before you leave because the weather and/or road conditions are bad or for possibly being stuck somewhere because it closes in on your during your trip. Personally, I would just fly if you have to go in December.

Should be doable. Depends on which way you want to drive. You ll need to cross a few passes regardless which way you go. Avoid Yellowstone if you planned on swinging threw. They close down the roads sometime in December. You might be able to get in through the side. However, you ll need to combat the Tetons. Cascades in Washington and Oragon and the Sierras if you plan on comming through the side VIA California. And of course the Rockies. I travel up north quite often during the winter. I find I-80 closes more often then I-70. If i-70 closes down, you ll have more options to choose from over i-80. There isn t much in Wyoming. That and I-80 is the most boring road in America. -Get good winter tires-Pack a couple of sleeping bags or blankets-tow Rope-Snacks-Shovel-Jumper cablesYou should be fine, but the biggest mistake people make is not preparing yourself properly. You should be ready incase you get stranded someplace in the mountains over night. The chances of them happening are slim, but it does happen and people do die from it. So just pack some warm stuff.

My daughters 16 and 14 are flying to Florida for Christmas ? -

To be with grandma and dad ,it is there first time flying so dad is flying up and flying with them and back again..we are both uncomfortable with them flying alone so that s not an issue for the people who would warn me of that.1.my question is what do they need to board..ID..? anything I should know about that ? and also one of my daughters has asthma and carries an inhaler..will she be able too ? does the air pressure in flight bring on asthma attacks ? anything they should not bring ? I haven t flown since before the terrorism changes.

Kids under 18 do not need l.D. See site below. he may carry her inhaler with no problem. Flying should not cause her any problems. See 2nd site for regs on what may be carried on the plane.

She should be fine if she doesn t freak out and since your daughter is 16 she cant board on the plane by herself with ID. But the little one is a minor and they might take her to some sitting room where the legal guard has to come pick her up

I have asthma and I m fine flying to the sunshine state! It s a three hour flight for me, and I didn t have to use mine once!

I just turned 21 but my permit will not expire for another 3 months. Will I be allowed to gamble in Vegas? -

I just turned 21 two days ago but I wanted to hold off on renewing my permit because I m afraid it won t get here in time before I leave to Vegas in 2 weeks. Here in MN, it s supposed to take anywhere between 2-3 weeks for you to get your new Permit/License/ID. If my MN Permit still has that UNDER 21 on it even though my birthday says that I m 21, will I be allowed to gamble in Vegas?

All they are interested in is the date of birth. They may look a little more carefully because of that statement but it won t matter once they look at the date. This happens all the time here because thousands of people come here to celebrate their coming of age ... 21. So don t worry. Just come and have a great time.

As long as it has your actual birthday on it you ll be fine. Lots of people come to Vegas to celebrate their 21st birthdays, and many of their permits read that way. They are familiar with it, and it won t be a big deal.

I went to Vegas 2 weeks after my 21st brithday and no one ever asked to see my ID. So maybe I look old, but they didn t even ask for my ID when I ordered a drink while sitting at a slot.

As long as it is your picture with a birthday, and valid, you should be just fine. Security can add and know you are 21. And perhaps they won t even check your ID

Your permit says your age on it (right?). They will accept it.

Call em and find out from a Supervisor.

You will be fine!

They don t care how oldThey care how much money you have.^_^

In the middle of recession, where to move - NYC OR San Francisco ? -

I m thinking of moving to San Francisco but everyone says it s extremely EXPENSIVE! I m a Sales/Marketing executive worked for Software, Entertainment Advertising industry. In this deep recession which giant would be easier for employment and start up costs? I like good looking people, nice weather, clean city and low crime rate. Any advice is more then Welcome :)Thanks Everyone!

Both are extremely expensive cities. SF is more environmentally friendly than NYC. NYC has better public transportation. SF has nicer weather longer. NYC has better restaurants, night life and culture IMO. I lived in NYC for 3 years and now I live outside of the SF bay. I miss NYC like crazy. I think NYC is more romantic and more of what I picture a city to be. However, SF does have access to beaches, national parks, hiking, and Napa Valley ;-) I would think more about what you like to do in your spare time as both are going to have pretty equal employment opportunities. SF is more tech focused it seems but there is more entertainment and Ad sales in NYC. Good luck

SF and NYC are the two MOST expensive cities in the US. So unless you ve got a lot of savings and/or a well paid job lined up don t move either place.Given you career you might also want to consider LA, lower cost of living, lots of good looking people, great weather, and certain parts of the LA Metro area are low crime and clean.

NO!! jobs are really hard to get.. I agree with the other s answer. SF, NYC are the worst to move to right now.. It s expensive and the jobs are too great. Companies are laying off people like crazy! Maybe Seattle would be cheaper to live and the crime rate is mich lower there than SF and NYC.

Where are some things you can do in Santa Cruz, Ca? -

So i have never been to Santa Cruz before and I m planning a trip there in April. What are cool things to do there for a couple in there early 20 s? Anyway nice places to eat and whats a nice but not to expensive Hotel that we can stay at?

http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g��

The Santa Cruz boardwalk/pier is famous. This town was where they shot the popular movie from the early 90 s, The Lost Boys .There are several big name hotels within walking distance to the beach- Days Inn, Hilton, etc. But there are also beach houses, or bungalows, you can rent locally. Just google it to find rental agencies.Several other little towns are nearby that you can explore as well. My husband and I really liked the area.

Fastest way to mail something? -

I need to mail something from new jersey to north carolina, it s a very small parcel, one of those small bubble envelopes, what is the fastest way to get it to north carolina before friday ????? Thanks a lot!

The fastest way is overnight but it s expensive. I would say Priority would be okay if you don t want to chance regular mail, which is 3-5 days. When you go to the post office, they will weigh it and give you your options.

Priority Mail, you can get a flat rate box at the post office for a few bucks.Good luck
