as in "No, sorry" or you'll come to my hotel room and fold down the blankets and put a nice chocolate on the pillow? Because I would love to have the latter for $1, especially if the chocolate is included.

#15I'd be willing to:
1. provide positive inspiration
2. provide an answer or at least initial research within 5 minutes of time. (using some automated tools I write)
3. provide a daily list of facts about that day at various points in time.
4. teach a child a simple task.
5. provide the top "movers and shakers" in the stock market from the last day.
