ASK JOHN EATS.™

Do you have a problem, no one else can help, and you can't find the A-Team? If you are one of John Eats.'s 3 to 7 daily readers, feel free to email your questions about life's little problems to:

johneats[AT]gmail.com
(Make sure to replace the [AT] with an @, of course.)

The best questions will be published here along with my advice and answers. Think of it as Lifehacker without the vast resource of technical knowledge, or Metafilter if all of the questions were answered by a bald, white, overweight midwestern man whose current job earns him just about 50% of what he made six years ago.
