if only i was famous...

You know how on talkshows like Ellen or (back in the day) Rosie O'Donnell, they would comment about liking something or needing a solution for ________ (fill in the blank) and then hundreds of viewers would send in emails or calls or mail things to them to try to help? Or for example, I read something about the cartoonist who creates "For Better or For Worse" and she was saying she once drew a comic strip about Michael having sore thumbs from video games and she had people sending her special gloves and thumb covers etc etc. Well I wish that I could do that -- mention something and then have people respond with gifts. Here's what I would talk about:

(to have people send me solutions)

> a good face wash/moisturizer : my skin is both oily and dry -- this makes it very difficult to find a face wash and moisturizer that don't suck. i have not found either one to date.
> a pillow : i don't like them too flat or too soft or too hard or too fluffy. i don't want my head to sink too far into them but i don't want my head to tilt upwards because they're too stiff. i've tried the curved pillows and the pillows that have memory foam to shape to you. i still wake up with headaches from bad pillows.
> i always lose CDs : i don't know where or how this could possibly happen but i have loads of empty cases and memories of CDs i once owned and now do not which doesn't make any sense since i never really lend out CDs or anything. i need something to help me keep track of them besides just a case because apparently that's not working.

(to get free stuff)

> peeling knives with a curved blade -- i love it. i can't peel or cut anything without it. it's the only kitchen item that i have to hand wash instead of put in the dishwasher because i use it so often!
> complaints about Munchies (the snack) : there just aren't enough pretzels in those bags. this needs to change.

This is all I could think of at the moment. I asked Tim if he could think of anything for me and he stared at me for a couple minutes and then said, "Hairpins?" and I said, "What do you mean? Like the they're not good enough or I want more of them?" and he just looked at me blankly and replied, "I don't know." So no help there. I guess he just doesn't think as deeply as I do about such important issues.
