Different worms have different habits, but the redworm will generally stay where there is food. Some will wander off when it rains, if they're not enclosed, but the great bulk of them will stay near the food. In addition, they will not cross a large, dry expanse. It's not like they're going to eat your house down to a…

I've been vermicomposting for more than 20 years. I started from a mere 200 worms and slowly built up the herd until I now have several hundred thousand worms - I'm pretty sure I'm close to a million worms. We have dropped our garbage output more than half, and once a year or so, I sell a few pounds so that my bins…

I cannot wrap my head around the concept of baked avocados. That's just wrong!

Similar Diet Pepsi fiend here, as well. I cut down from a 24oz to a 12 oz per day. but haven't kicked it yet. I blame my time in Fast Food when I had access to it every day.

I've made my own. I have 3-4 pages with sections of links to what I use each day.

I dunno. I sometimes surprise people with what I can remember, but while I think it's important to remember the concept discussed, certain details may not be remembered unless your professor does upload the slides or offers a study guide. Are these offerings pretty consistently offered? If so, paying attention may be…

Low tech is better in sewing machines. An old fashioned, all-metal sewing machine is sturdy and does 98% of what you need. Most people don't need the rows of ducks stitched into their clothing that computerized machines provide. You need a straight, zig-zag - maybe a multi stitch zig-zag, and buttonholer.

Some of the best bang-for-the-buck I've had in spending for employees has been ordering business cards for people who don't really *need* them - but having a card with their name and title on it makes them feel important and valuable and like they're part of the team.

Yanno, you don't have to follow the links. . .just ignore the linkage quotient.

Lots of font sites offer this. Try dafont.com.

Nice. Truthful, polite, and tactful.

I agree. I've been the 3rd person more than once.

I use those sandwich wrap papers, too! They're ever so handy to keep small messes contained. A box lasts "forever".

I've been throwing my microfiber cloths in the wash with the rest of the stuff. It comes out like new.

+1. My favorite method.

I love Evolution for linux. Started using it when I first tried linux, and am still using it. I have switched the parents over to Evolution for Windows, though.

The Japanese have already pretty much figured this out with furoshiki. There are many ways to take a square piece of fabric and nicely wrap (or even create a bag for) any kind of gift.

Once I really needed something from a department store, some widget I can't remember the identity of now. It was during Christmas season. I couldn't find a parking place. Every parking place in the lot was full, and many, many cars trolling for a spot. I went home without my widget, and just did without. There was no…

Who can?
