Years ago in a thrift store, I found the perfect pants. The formal look of slacks but without the obnoxious vertical slit pockets. The stiffer fabric and sensible pockets of jeans but with a more genteel cut. I now know these were golf pants, and I wear them every day for work.

I have an upcoming wedding, semiformal, indoors. I'm not in the bridal party, nor am I escorting anybody in the bridal party. Can I wear golf pants to this event, or do I need to go buy slacks, or even a full suit? I'm not opposed to buying a suit, I just want to know what my options are.

Edit: The specific pants I wear to work are these but I might buy something a little nicer for the event.

The last FIVE times I've ordered a tuna salad sandwich at a diner, it's been just tuna, not tuna salad. This is very upsetting, and for the sake of preveserving my marriage I'm not able to just make tuna salad at home. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Places I know I can't get one:

• Margie's Candies

• Bridgeport Coffeehouse

• Moon's Sandwich Shop (Western & Madison)

Please. It's been so long.

I'm in Chicago, on the West Side, with two adjoining lots of uncertain history.

The lot I live in had no garage going back several decades, but I pulled out a foundation for something smallish when I laid down sod after moving in; and when I dug the posts for the fence (and raised beds) I found not one but two brick patios, one about six inches down and one about eighteen inches down. Also a lot of garbage, car parts, old clothes, and plastic.

The second lot has a sunken area with a footprint the same size as my brick four-square. I don't know if the limestone foundation is still down there. We filled in the area with wood chips to keep down weeds and reduce the likelihood of falling into the hole.

Right now we're gardening in raised beds, but I'd like to get to in-ground planting eventually. What do I need to watch out for, what do I need to do, and what plants can I use to pull any heavy metals out of the soil over the next few years? I know sunflowers work if you get them out by the root, and that's great, but is there anything more low-profile or more physically manageable, especially something native to the area?

So many great childhood memories at the Great zplains Zoo. Didn't expect to see Sioux Falls in the news today and I'm honestly a little sad.

She wrote inside: "You're the best parents I ever had".

I'm so proud of her.
