This article sounds like a distillation of one of the polarities used by David Keirsey to develop Temperament theory, which he derived from the Myers-Briggs Type Instrument. He calls this polarity a preference for utilitarian or for co-operative action, which seems to me to correspond to Elizabeth's concepts of

Hey! A use for all those Tim Horton cups that accumulate.

The Government of Canada has prepared an entire web site devoted to this sort of thing. Here is the url for various kits folk might consider.

I've noticed a lot of this from some politicians—the denial of an act by making the denial to a specific action. The former Canadian cabinet minister Bev Oda became very famous for denying her direct involvement in the cancelling of funds for an interfaith overseas aid group. Even when caught in the lie, however,

Doing this for a few years. Rather than a jacket, though, the Tilley vest [www.tilley.com], with its umpteen pockets.

I have two remotes. My late pet, Lollipop, ate a third of the buttons one day, so I rebuilt them with Sugru(!). I noticed that the differing textures made it easier to remember the buttons by feel when the lights were low (as well the sugru was orange and that helped). I put a dab on key buttons of the other

All the time. My home page is [DailyRotation.com], which I have heavily added RSS feeds to, including Lifehacker.

Unfortunately, waxed paper is neither recyclable, nor compostable.

Many of us cannot wait on emails (managers and clients who expect responses much more quickly and we not being high enough on the totem pole or in an independent position to do you the article suggests.)

I'm the dishwasher. This just sounds like more work.

Whatever you don, write down those bad ideas for yourself only. We all have friends who, just because of who they are, shoot down every idea you have, and you waste time working through bad ideas with them, instead of using the bad ideas to get to good ideas.

My problem is my eyes, esp first thing in the morning.. I can't line up the things. So I use just a dot of bright orange sugru on lid and line-up spot on all my pill bottles so I can see/feel where the top lines up.

I dump my IKEA parts into an egg carton, thenmove the really big pieces to the lid. There's never more than a few screws/dowels/etc. per egg slot, so it is for me really easy to do without having to take the time organizing the screws that the styrofoam suggests (not to mention trying to see as little non-recyclable

I have been doing it at work for years, but the moisture is a side benefit. The main benefit is to keep from a) causing a mess, and b) being subject to other people's messes.

Good thread idea. Most gift wrap is non-recyclable, and so reuse it as much as possible if you can't avoid it.

I still do the vast majority of my non-work stuff on a 1999 version of Spread32 by Bye Design, self-contained in one file, the current version is under 1.5 megs (mine is less than a meg). Lightning fast, saves to .xls. Extra features have to be proven to me.

All Public Relations, Counseling, Toastmasters, etc. teaches the compliment sandwich, under differing terms. It works. It is just easy to neglect.

While some of your points have some merit, your extreme and rare example of a mother talking to a doctor whilst en route for an emergency reason does not belong in your argument.
