In St. Louis, the power went out for an entire week, but my electricity bill was still the same, despite the fact that I used much less power that month.

Let's say you're looking for ... Pokemon (hey, it's what came to mind first) and you want to find out which stores in your area carry them (let's pretend only a few do; and no, you don't have time to buy it online and wait for it to arrive). You could visit each store's website or call them one by one and ask them, but what about some site where you just enter the term "pokemon" and receieve results for stores in your area that sell them? Do you know of any such site?

I have bought several brands of blank DVD's and blank CD's that won't burn or won't play. I think the solution is a heavier disk, so the disk will spin consistently.

Ok, so you guys remember back in prehistoric days when answering machines were analog and recorded messages on cassestte tapes? Well, I need one of those answering machines now and unfortunately due to our society turning out more and more crappy digital electronics they are damn near impossible to find brand new. I've looked all over the internet, Ebay, Craigslist, ect. unsuccessfully...now do you guys have any suggestions where I could find such a piece of equipment?

I have tried razor knives, wire cutters, scissors (ouch!), kitchen knives, hacksaws and my hunting knife. If the people designing the packaging also had to open it, we may see something easier to open. Better yet why haven't I seen a tool introduced that is up to the task?
