I’m very underwhelmed by Google this year. I was looking forward to being in the dog house for buying a new phone, and here they don’t even give me something remotely scintillating. I hate iOS and at this point I’d buy the iPhone 7 just for its water resistanceness.

Lessee, what other hacks can we publish that our parents and guardians taught us 30 years ago... I know, don’t spit in the wind. And don’t talk to strangers.

I think the second time I was allowed to drive my mother’s convertible (it was a Cavalier, but convertible!) I was getting on the freeway mid day when I noticed the gas meter was just below the E. This was an early 90's model, so no warning lights. I had maybe $4 on me (but back gas was 1$/gal). I decided to skip…

Even a little is enough. You can blow them up with your lungs easily enough. Also helps if you can cinch your belt around the waist line.

I practiced this as well. Jump into the icy lake and float around in your skivys. Well, the other kids did that. I put my trunks on under my jeans. :)

Well, you wouldn’t either if you ever had to eat SPAM and pineapple for either dinner...

I’ve known this for over a decade. I’ve worked for several organizations that had cancerous management. Over organized to the point where 50-70% of management could easily be removed without negatively affecting the company, the drones, or the other management.

1. Block your number (or use a friend’s phone!)
2. Delete random phone
3. Hook phone up and block all contacts
4. Press the call button and wait for the prompt
5. “Call Tom”
6. Scream at the top of your lungs
7. Repeat steps 5-6 until you return the car
8. Delete you’re phone

Every time a return a car that’s remotely “smart” I delete all the phones and then do whatever I can find for a factory reset.

Don’t put the damned dressing in with the salad. Oh, the rant I could rant...

So many treadmills it’ll make yer head spin.

Sledge hammering is a lot of fun and always feels like it’s tricking you into a great workout. Form eventually suffers but it still gets you in the shoulders and abs. Always loved sledge hammering.

Read many of my other responses.

LOL!

Seriously, just that little bit can turn the force of a 30lb kid’s knee into... well, the force of a 20lb kid’s knee. Worth it.

Okay, one more answer. I like letting my kids know that our room isn’t off limits. Our room is just another room in the house. They’re free to run in their and wake us up (they have lights that come on when it’s okay to come find us). We’ll lock the door if we’re having sexytime. Though it’s a mood breaker when…

My kids can see us naked. It’s not a problem. And we lock the door during sexy time. The wife uses the breast pump in the living room. Sometimes its easier and faster to shower my five year old off with me. You’re just assuming seeing nudity/sex is the problem.

The elder is learning to just turn on the playstation, which is fine with me right now. But the family dynamic is always changing. I want my kids to know we’re accessible if they need us. I don’t like the idea that they’re locked out. If we’re going to have special rest time, well, then the door is locked.

Not that. I like having an extra layer of protection between me and my boy’s knee.
