He says the lack of cranial coverage is really affecting her behaviour and making her feel less of a classy bird. Will hair restorer do the job, or should he blu tac some feathers to her head?

Answer: Your friend Bill is an idiot. Everyone knows Bald Eagles wear headdresses which they make from the scalps of the native American Indian tribes who revere them for the magnificent creatures they are. Brenda is already a "classy" bird, too classy in fact to have anything to do with a zoo keeper who wants to spoil her looks with blu tac. Shame upon him. Leave Brenda alone you clueless keeper and take a job in the alligator enclosure. Try putting feathered blu tac on one of them.

Question: Looking for oil painting restorer in South Carolina? I have an old oil painting my grandmother painted. The painting is more than 75 years old and is looking very dark and dirty. There are also a few scratches and a hole in the canvas. I live in South Carolina. Does anyone know of a nearby restorer that could make this painting look like new again?

Answer: Oh yeah, nice... some guy from china. shipping would be inexpensive, i'm sure (not). Off the top of my head, I'd contact a local museum, or a large gallery - ask them for reputable sources for someone who's experienced in art restoration. Surely there's sources that they use on a regular basis. Who knows, you might get someone who works at the museum and does private work on the side. There's always the yellow pages, but then you don't know what you're getting. Best to get a recommendation.
