 Dear JABBERS: Last week I attended a terrific seminar. I took away two great messages: You can't do it all yourself and hire great people. With the holidays right around the corner, that is great advice for anyone. Need someone to hang the holiday lights, cook the turkey, wrap the gifts, and help with your holiday cards? Let us help you find that team of people who can make your holidays fun and enjoyable! And, if you have a business that you want to let people know about, give me a shout at courtney@justaskboo.com. We have some great rates for the season.
Happy JABBING!

Paddling His Way To Relaxation!

Is anyone selling their paddle board for a reasonable amount or can anyone recommend a place that sells used boards? I really want to surprise him but not at the expense of a grand!
Everybody Cut Footloose!
From Shannon Martinez: REPLYMy daughter and her friend are turning 16 and want to have a dance party. Our budget is limited and we thought a Footloose themed party would work well in a warehouse. Does anyone have a warehouse they would be willing to rent or loan for a party for one night near Weston or Sunrise? We would set up and clean up. Suggestions welcome! Thanks!

Thanksgiving Dinner in Pompano Beach
From Hilary Bencini: REPLYMy elderly in-laws live in Pompano Beach and are tired of our schlepping them back-and-forth between their home and ours in Weston for holiday meals. They're not picky (they used to love The Flaming Pit before it closed), but can anyone recommend a restaurant that offers Thanksgiving dinner in Pompano on the 24th? Thank you!

Breakfast Spot
My sorority alumnae group is looking for a place to hold our annual meeting in January. Does anyone have suggestions on where we might go? It is a group of about 30 and we don't want to spend more than $30/person for a breakfast/brunch. We need a private area to be set-up for us. Thanks for your suggestions.
Looking for Website Help from Intern or Emerging Web Developer
From Michele Hakemian: REPLYI'm a stay-at-home-mom with an online business, and my husband lost his job two weeks ago. My website needs updating but I am pretty limited with my budget. Does anyone know an intern who wants to practice on a live website, or maybe a new web development company who would like to build their portfolio? It's not complicated work - just products to be uploaded, navigational changes, fixing some glitches, and a general re-organization of the product line. I need someone savvy and trustworthy, who can work on this for a very reasonable fee due my financial limitations. Thank you! Throw Me A Throw
From Noelle Galperin: REPLYI totally MISS-ed the ball on the Target MISS-ONI Throw (Colore AND/OR Passione). If you have one or both of these throws, even if you've taken the tags off, and are willing to part with them for a reasonable sum, please let me know.
