You’ll have a little luck contacting politicians with national aspirations. If not, you’re probably wasting your effort. Their staff only have so much time. Outside their district or state, you don’t exist. That’s politics.

Yeah, and there’s a long list of women sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton and abused into silence that could use your support too.

Boring won’t work with me. I’ll just quit listening and thinking about other things will then keep me awake. What does work are tales by writers such as P. G. Wodehouse. They’re just interesting enough to keep your attention but not enough to make you stay awake to hear the ending. He’s funny too.

Naw, my Kindle 3 does all I need it to do, including text-to-speech, which these newer models do not do.

I grew up before many of today’s vaccines and had virtually all of what some still call the “usual childhood illnesses.” For about a month each summer while growing up, I drank raw milk at my grandparents. I’ve bought outdated food untold times. And yes, I love eating raw cookie dough.

Keep in mind that one of the best ways to save money is to jump retail categories. Computer gear tends to be expensive, while household goods are often heavily discounted.

I make use of that falling asleep time to listen to free audiobooks from loyalbooks.com. P.G. Wodehouse’s comedy is perfect. Interesting but not too interesting. Funny but not too funny.

Journalism could not be easier. Just follow these rules:

iCloud is typically Apple—Simplicity through Invisiblity. If users can’t see what’s going on under the hood, Apple assumes, they’ll never get confused. That only works until something goes wrong. Then even experienced users are bewildered.

I agree other posters. Having lived out of a backpack for a year, having multiple compartments is a must. Otherwise, disorder reigns supreme and the smell of dirty clothing spreads to the clean. The ability to attach gear to the outside, i.e. a sleeping bag, is also helpful for times when you need to carry more than…

Hiding something in a dirty diaper bin is a part of the plot for the hit 1987 movie, “Three Men and a Baby.”

I’m increasingly unhappy with either of my broadband providers, Charter or Wow! The good news is that just last week Verizon had crews running a fiber cable a block from my house. The crew didn’t know the reason, but if it means a third broadband provider—maybe, just maybe, I’ll have some decent choices.

These rapid price cuts, even if quickly dropped, are hints that retailers such as Amazon feel these new Macs are overpriced. If you can manage to wait—wait. You might save hundreds of dollars.

Ice cream that’s thawed and refrozen will often look weird too.

Growing up, many summers I spent a month with grandparents drinking—you guessed it—raw milk. Never had a problem.

Quote: “... that introversion and extroversion aren’t mutually exclusive. People can be in the middle of the spectrum (known as ambiverts)”

I’d add another. See if there’s a “Hillary 2016" bumper sticker on their car. It’s a near-perfect illustration of toxicity.

I fully agree and that’s why I don’t bother with them. Besides, in this presidential election, both candidates are playing fast and loose with the truth. Fact-checking either is like testing whether water is wet. It’s pointless.

You’re missing that the call forwarding takes a few seconds and may mean the other party hangs up before you answer. Also, you may have issues with voice mail and who knows if Google will keep this alive forever. They’re certainly not giving it much attention.
