As someone that loves mods (mostly for games like The Sims & Don’t Starve) I really had to think about this. I will not pay outright for mods. Period. Modders don’t always keep up with game changes. Modders can (and will) put up a mod, get their sales, then leave (like so many of the game devs do these days) so when…

I was excited to see that low price for an LED bulb. We've replaced all the bulbs in my house with LED, but would like to have some spares. Then I saw the specs and couldn't believe it. Yes, they are cheaper, but IMHO they are ripping off the public. People really need to start reading the fine print (my husband is…

Good article on one person’s experience and a warning to people like him.
Some very “weird” replies.
I think I will save myself some aggravation, heat up my vape, and play some Pixel Piracy. :)

Interesting! Trying to find the barcode is exactly what slows me down. Will definitely be trying this out next time I go to the store.

Heat. You are exactly right. Many people don’t understand how that very thin layer of dust in the computer works like a blanket, holding in heat. Computers/electronics don’t like heat (me either!). Just because your system isn’t crashing doesn’t mean it couldn’t be running hot (my husband found out the hard way). We…

that doesn’t try and stab your eye out when you sleep

I’ve heard about not putting children’s names on things since I was a kid 40+ years ago. I think it’s a legitimate concern so I chose not to allow my son to put a name license plate on his bike when he was growing up (he hung it in his room instead). Not having the license plate on his bike had no chance of getting…

Well, nothing wrong with admiring the eyebrows of anyone at any age ... but since she isn’t 9 years old anymore (she’s 21) you are definitely okay. lol

Thanks for showing us “the other side.” Always interesting to hear more details.

Same here in Arizona. Last year it was so bad we made jokes (although I didn’t find the lack of cool water very funny) about someone breaking in and hooking up the hot water heater to the cold water pipes!

I feel exactly the same way. We have fast speeds here, but we have a limit of 300GB month (up from 250). That’s 10GB a day for 3 people who live online (my husband and I are retired so we are always home). Movies, games, music, etc. I am constantly messing with the streaming quality of Netflix (Amazon doesn’t let me…

You know, your post made me think so I went and looked up the definition of each. I had never really thought about it so probably used them interchangeably. Thanks for the info! :D

I am so sick of everything turning into a race thing ....

I’m 52 year old female, my son is almost 29. We own 1, 4, 5, and 6. Just finished watching them, again, and have decided to get the ones we are missing to complete the set. Started watching them because I LOVE watching Vin. Kept watching them because I love watching Vin, the cars are very cool, and I like how they…

Also, see if your bank has something like the Keep the Change program at Bank of America. I regularly find $500+ in that account and don't even realize it! I use that money to make a payment on a credit cards which means I pay less interest. Win, win!

I don't pay attention to most of these (ridiculous) celebrities, but I DO love Vin Diesel. When I saw Pitch Black in 2000 I told my son "we are going to be seeing more of that guy" and I am so glad I was right. I may be an old lady, but I know what I like and he is absolutely on my short list!

I recently told my husband to stop using our bank card (debit/ATM/Visa) anywhere other than the bank or in case of dire emergency. I supplied him with a credit card he is to use everywhere and I pay it off every month. I started this because the credit card info I use for online purchases has been stolen quite a few…

My husband's excuse for not putting away the dishes out of the dishwasher: "I don't know where they go."

We just finished changing out all our fluorescents to LED (we got rid of incandescents many, many years ago). After much research we chose Cree and have been very happy with them so far (it's only been a year or so). We tested each one against our fluorescents and found no difference in light quality/brightness. …
