The school district I work in made a very large Apple purchase (thousands of macs and iPads) and, lo and behold, all of the district technology administrators magically owned Apple Watches. They cannot stay off them and make it a point to use them for inane things in front of staff. They bring it up in conversation.…

I would add humidifiers. I have a Vornado whose filters get crusty and moldy even with filtered water within 3 weeks. At $12 to replace both, that’s a pricey long-term commitment. Just another example to add to a running list.

I read once, and I bet I couldn’t find the article now, about the priciest vehicles to repair after a 10mph rear-end collision. I could sweat I read a Saab 9-3 was something like 20k.

According to CNN Money (http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/18/med…l)“Florida law requires an appealing party to post a bond for the full amount of damages, but that requirement is capped at $50 million. Denton has been candid about the financial threat posed by the lawsuit. In January, he sold a minority stake in Gawker…

Again, the CNNgo app for Roku requires you to sign in with your cable/satellite provider. It does not stream without a subscription. This was the same as last time.

I know you can watch it via the website and everything, but the CNNgo app for Roku still requires you to sign in to a cable company. Just FYI.

For magazine subscriptions I use the MyCokeRewards program. Co-workers bring in their rewards codes and it is the equivalent of 12 24 packs to get a year long subscription to your choice of about 100 great magazines. You can only enter 70 points a week (it’s 250 points for a mag subscription) but that means that every…

I agree about my parents’ knives. They’re 30 years old and wood handled. The grips are shrunk and they slide on the bolsters. I bought them these knives a few years a year ago but they won’t give up their old knives...

I certainly agree with you that there is a fan base for the “old” way of doing things. Inertia is a powerful thing both on the sides of reformers and old timers. I appreciate you sharing the system of education in the Netherlands. The divisions in schools drives me crazy because we can’t even get on board with common…

Those Victornox knives are really nice. I picked up a set with the 10" chefs knife, a 10" slicing knife, and a 6" paring knife about three years ago. They stay really sharp. The best thing is the grip. It has a texture that is kind of like sandpaper but it doesn't hurt your hands. Whatever is on your hands - chicken…

I certainly do not speak for all classes or teachers, but I teach AP US History and the course has been redesigned to directly rectify the focus that had previously been solely on factual recall. I taught the old version of the class, which was mostly recall, and I love the new course. If you look at the historical…

We had a buyer for our house agree on a price for $155k. The buyer was shady as hell but whatever we wanted out with a small kid and another on the way. He was going through the VA. The inspection checked out, we moved all our things into a storage unit three days before the closing and moved in with my parents for…

If I can expand on that...whenever the mortgage company needs something from you they need it RIGHT GODDAMN NOW. I’m a classroom teacher and the loan person suggested I send a kid to the copy machine with my W2 and paystubs or that I go myself and leave the class alone.

That scene where he explains that he gets a hotel room three times a week just so he can have some bathroom time with peace and quiet from his kids was the second funniest (IMO) Tracy scene of the show. The funniest: Here comes the funcooker!

I have the 6121 and have visited my friend’s house who has the 6141. We talked and saw no significant difference between the 6121 and the 6141. I have 3 TVs, 3 iPads, 2 iPhones, and 2 Rokus using the 6121 and have never seen a problem. I would jump at the 6141 if my 6121 hasn’t served me so well. I’m a heavy user and…

Rowenta irons make my life so much easier. If you’ve been using a cheapo $20 one, pick up (literally) a Rowenta one and feel how much heavier the sole plate is and you’ll see the quality. I’m just a casual iron user but it’s something that I’ve learned not to cheap out on. My mom still uses one that says “Made in West…

You go Pac-Man! That coach wasn’t even on your level! He’s never even had a domestic violence complaint, multiple probation violations, slammed a stripper’s head into the stage, been charged with assault, felony vandalism, spit in a college kid’s face, or been present at an active shooting scene!
