Ideas for Pasadena
We're going to Pasadena for a long weekend, staying in the hotel where my partner's conference is held. The kid and I will mostly be on our own. Where should we eat, and what kind of activities will be low-key and fun? We'll have a car. [more inside]
Need to find a senior assistance/transportation service in Pasadena, CA
My mother has reached a point where she needs frequent doctor visits, sometimes on short notice, and I am not always able to drive her and be there with her. She could also use some help with shopping errands. I've never had to find a senior assistance kind of service; there seem to be many in Pasadena, but I don't know how to find a good one.

From Burbank to Claremont - things to eat and do
I'm taking my kiddo on a short weekend college-tour trip to the LA area this weekend. We are flying into Burbank and staying in Claremont.
The kid and I are both adventurous eater and we will have a car so the sky's the limit (budget is not!) Looking for breakfast and Dinner suggestions near Claremont. I'd love a good Dim Sum suggestion too. (especially one that's okay in the afternoon as our mid-mornings are filled.)
Need a simple way to sell or give away paintings
My mother used to paint Chinese-inspired watercolor nature paintings (here's an actual example) and created many dozens of paintings over many years, but is about to move and needs to sell or donate a significant number of them. We've never tried selling paintings. What are our options in the Pasadena or Santa Barbara areas? [more inside]
Little old housewarming for Pasadena
As it says, I have a pair of lovely friends who've bought and have been renovating a house in the LA area. I wasn't able to do much by a way of a wedding present when they got married, so I'd love to get them a housewarming present to show I've been thinking of them and that I know how important the place is to them. Complications - I've never owned a house; place-making has never been important to me; I've never been to LA. Anybody who fits those categories, please chime in! [more inside]
Pasadena to LAX
I haven't been to LAX on my own in about 6 years. Tuesday I fly out of there for a day trip and need to be at the Spirit Airlines gate by 5 am to check in for my 7am flight. Where do I park and how do I get to the right drop off point for Spirit? Is there a shuttle? Do you recommend against or for any other things I may not be thinking about? Thank you!

Anxious Manager in Training Seeking Kind LA Based Therapist
My new job is the hardest job I've ever had, and I'm drowning under the pressure. My friends and family seem to empathize, but at the same time, they're also sort of chuckling at my distress and telling me it's good that I'm "finally" struggling at something when previously I've been "able to tackle everything" that comes my way. Can you recommend a CBT trained therapist in Pasadena who can help me stop sinking? [more inside]

1938 Rose Bowl Program value?
While helping a widowed lady friend clean out her attic and closets for a move, we found an old Rose Bowl program for the 1938 game between Alabama and California. After exhausting all combinations of phrasing for searching Google and eBay, I'm coming to you. What makes this program different is that the cover is a black and white version of the official program—but this program was published by the Student Association of University of California. Does anyone know anything about this program? My friend is eager to "get rid" of stuff and is donating most of what we're finding to thrift shops or charity. But a few items we're unsure of value—if any—and thought someone on MetaFilter might know. Thanks!
