Pot pie recipe with broth only?
A couple of years ago I used to make this pot pie recipe which was not vegan or vegetarian but which didn't have any dairy in the sauce, just broth. I cannot find it. Do you know of such a recipe? [more inside]

Help me find a certain YouTube video for turkey stuffing meatballs?
Some time in the last couple of years, but more than one year ago, I saw a recipe on YouTube for turkey stuffing meatballs. I made the meatballs, and they were great. However, I don't appear to have given the video a like or saved the recipe. It's a long shot, but could you help me find it? [more inside]

Name this 80s or 90s thriller that ends with (billboard?) SOS on rooftop
I'm fuzzy on the details, but I believe theres a female protagonist who's drawn to a mysterious attractive man who turns out to be the bad guy. After inviting him into her home, he eventually attacks her, and the ensuing pursuit takes them to a rooftop where she improvises a signal for help by flashing a large billboard on and off.

Looking for a song from the start of a workshop
I've been trying to locate a song that I heard at the beginning of a spiritual workshop in 2019. It was beautiful and inspiring, and was the perfect song to kick off a spiritual workshop. This is really a long shot because I don't have many details. If all else fails, I have a Spotify bonus question. [more inside]
How do I get a map that avoids using the easiest route to get somewhere?
Both easy routes to get to a town I need to go to are blocked off entirely for the next two months. How the hell do I get some kind of alternate route there? [more inside]
Iphone offline but ringing
I lost my iphone. When I log into my icloud account, it generically says "offline." I don't have full access to my icloud account (bc unfortunately, I also lost my wallet and any ability to do two-factor authentication). But, when I call the lost phone, it rings, indicating that the phone is in fact connected to some network. Can I find my phone? [more inside]
Losing hope searching for my lost cat
My cat showed up in our barn around 6 months old. She had to be an exclusively outdoor cat for about a year due to someone else that was living with us for a while, but for the past year and a half she's mostly been inside and only let out when she wants to go. She wanted out the night of Wednesday the 19th and normally would show back up first thing in the morning, but she still hasn't been home. I am absolutely heartbroken and feel so guilty for letting her out at night [more inside]
What instrument did Giacchino use here?
In the Lost soundtrack, Michael Giacchino uses a recurring motif of a solo plucked(?) low string note (example) to generate tension & suspense. What instrument is this, a harp? I always assumed it was one note but now I think it's an octave, C2+C3 in this clip. Is that the case?
Help me find this dish sponge
This dish sponge is perfect. It's on the small side with plastic mesh bits that scrub really well but also don't scratch. It's sold in large multi-pack of mixed colors (8-10 sponges per bag) in a clear plastic bag with a cardboard closure at the top. Have you seen this sponge? Backstory below. [more inside]
How do I get this lost iPhone back to its owner?
I found an iPhone on the sidewalk today. I chased down the only person nearby and they said it wasn't theirs. It was on airplane mode and I was able to disable that but then I found out there's no SIM. Is there a way for me to get it back to its owner or should I just drop it off at the police station and let them deal with it?

I lost my wedding ring
My wedding ring was feeling too tight on my ring finger so, three hours ago, I switched it to my little finger. OOPS. It's gone. It's too big for the cats or baby to swallow and I haven't left the apartment, so it's here SOMEWHERE. Suggestions? HELP!

Ack! Lost recipe!
Recently (~ within the last month or two) I saw a recipe I wanted to try that involved marinating halved(? I think?) cherry tomatoes with olive oil, fresh basil leaves, and probably garlic, before serving over vermicelli. It seems like the instructions were to marinate for 2-4 hours, because I remember thinking I'd need to do that early enough to have it ready for supper. Somehow I managed not to save the recipe, and my browser history isn't showing me what I'm looking for. [more inside]
Please Help Me Find Two Music Videos
Somewhere back around 2014 (ish? give or take a year or two) I had a collection of links to music videos on You Tube that I really liked. I've lost the links and I don't remember song titles, or names of bands, but I would dearly love to find the songs again. All I remember is parts of the videos. Can you help me? More after the jump.

Why are emails diappearing from my iphone?
Just in the last week or two, a lot of emails have been disappearing from my iPhone. The emails still exist on my server, and when I look at Mail on my computer, I have no trouble getting them, so this is something that's happening only on my iPhone. It's also happening on my iPod Touch, though. Why is this happening? [more inside]

How to unhide a body
I'm an adoptee who last year got in touch with my maternal bio relatives, and more recently have identified my birth father. I have contacted a couple of his siblings and there is no question that this individual is my father. However, the last time anyone in his family had any contact with him was in the early 1990s, when he was living, as he had been for quite some time already, on the streets in Berkeley CA and struggling with serious mental health and substance abuse issues. After discovering that, I assumed he was dead by now at age 71, but I've found proof of life from about 5 years ago and some other hints that he was within the past 5-10 years living in a Berkeley-city SRO housing unit for disabled individuals.

Lost phone. What to do?
I left my Pixel 2 in a Lyft yesterday. I have Google Fi. Google's "find my device" tool can't find it. The Lyft app has a "lost item" feature; I booted up my old phone and sent a request and used a number from Tempophone as the reply number--but no luck yet. I don't see a way to contact the driver directly. I can't access my texts because I use Signal and haven't set it up on any other devices.

My Kindle keeps running away
I often misplace my Kindle, which drives me crazy. Sometimes I lose it in my house, sometimes in my car, or at work, and it's lost for days. I think I need to get one of those Bluetooth tracker thingamabobs, like a Tile, to help me the next time I lose it. The problem is that I like using my Kindle without a cover. [more inside]
How can I find what happened to a domain I bought two years ago?
I bought a domain on sale two years ago. I since forgot and just remembered. I went to check up on it, then realized I don't remember what registrar I bought it through. I searched my various email accounts and can't find anything about it. I also tried logging into old registrars I used to use. I am fairly sure I bought it. Various whois sites say that it's reserved by the registrar and that's it. Any ideas about what else I can search?

Lost an immigration document w instructions. What are my options?
(Asking on behalf of a friend.) In the process of applying for a visa to remain in the US, I was sent a list of documents to mail back. I have lost the list. I'm supposed to mail the documents by the end of this month (!). Short of magically finding the list, what are my options? Would USCIS be able to send me another copy of the list on short notice?

Feeling lost in a foreign country… need some input, advice, comfort…
I am a woman in her early thirties. I live in a country that is far away from mine due to personal and professional circumstances. A few years ago I suffered a series of violent events in my country of origin. I was also holding a badly paid position that I didn’t enjoy a lot. I didn’t have anything exciting going on in my love life. And I had reached a moment in my relationship with my family where I often felt neglected and oppressed. Facing that panorama in my life I decided to move overseas after finding a position to work here. I arrived here with great expectations but right now, I am feeling lost. [more inside]
Could non-job related reasons cause ruining interview?
So I just had a good interview, and I was invited again for a second round. The hiring manager and I were chatting at the end as the hiring manager was showing me out. I let him know that I have a cough and I apologized before the interview began. Towards the end he asked me how long have I been coughing, and I responded by saying that "I have been coughing for 2 months and it doesn't seem to go away." The doctors said that it is not bronchitis but many people would think that anyway it seems. Do you think the hiring manager is not going to hire me because he suspects I have bronchitis or some other coughing disease? He might be afraid that his entire staff will get sick! Although I cough a lot, I feel totally fine otherwise. Has anyone who is a hiring manager not hired anyone for similar reasons? I feel like I lost an opportunity, because as I shook his hand when we were saying good-bye, his face seemed as if it had some horror.
30 is right around the corner and I’ve never felt more lost.
I wake up and live every day like a zombie – miserable at work and then I go home, go to the gym, eat crappy takeout and go to sleep. It just all feels so pointless, like I’m slowly wasting away and not living the full life I’m supposed to live. I want friends, love, a family, and a job or hobby to live for. But I almost feel paralyzed – if I have no interests and don’t want to be around anyone, how do I get my life started? More details inside. [more inside]

In what way is Android Device Manager wrong about my phone?
Android device manager claims that my phone is somewhere in my house. But when I tell it to ring my phone at full volume, it claims that it's doing so, and then...nothing. My house is small. I have searched it from top to bottom, while the ringer should theoretically be sounding. I hear nothing. Which is more likely to be malfunctioning - the locator or the ringer? [more inside]
What would you do in my situation (regarding career and life decisions)?
It seems for years I have been unhappy because I have a lot of drive to do something with my life, but for the love of God I just can't settle into a direction. I am currently in university taking a pre-masters to go into urban planning but I just feel like I don't really know what I'm doing or if I will like it. I am curious if others have been in a similiar situation before and if so how did they find their way? Also if you could read my extended explanation and tell me what you would do in my situation or offer any advice I would love to hear it. [more inside]
