So... if you have $100 gift card and you want to buy $120 worth of products, can you pay the rest in cash/credit card?

Wait, it does all of those things? How does it know which one you want?

I second the recommendation about checking about local holidays, something I learned the hard way.

I have found my Kitchenaid’s plastic guard to be fairly useless - It’s hard to get it placed and locked in place, once using, it doesn’t stay in place, it doesn’t do a very good job of, say, keeping flour from flying everywhere, and it doesn’t make adding ingredients (like, say, more flour to a dough) particularly…

It would be helpful if you could clarify if this is happening primarily on craiglist type ads, individually posted ads, on big name hotel booking sites, on smaller companies’ rental sites (like a company that manages a bunch of vacation rentals in a particular area), on AirBnB, VRBO, or what. I rent often on VRBO and…

If you’re not getting your prime deliveries in the 2 days promised, CALL AMAZON - *every* time I have had this happen (which is only a few), I’ve called customer service to complain and with little nudging, they’ll give you a free month of prime to make up for it.

I was taught that you should trim asparagus (where the stalk naturally breaks when bent), usually about 1/4-1/3 up the stalk from the bottom, about 2-3", because the bottoms of the stalks are too fibrous and woody to be palatable (my mouth agrees). You noted trimming 1/4" off the bottom, but didn’t mention any further…

So, it looks like all of my (up to date, site licensed by my employer) Microsoft Office 365 apps are 32-bit... kinda can’t work without them. Our entire organization just transitioned to Office 365 a few months ago. Should I assume something this broadly used will be resolved before their viability on MacOS becomes an…

Saaaame!

For what it’s worth, years ago Alton Brown (I think?) did an experiment on Good Eats (I think) where he tested out the washing vs. wiping vs. a brief soak.(If it wasn’t Alton it might have been America’s Test Kitchen - it was a show where they regularly do thorough testing of food questions). He weighed them before…

Amelie’s French Bakery, NoDa location - open 24/7/365 in the artsy district, this coffee shop and bakery has room after quirky room filled with funky decor and varied furniture for individuals and small groups to relax, hang out, or get some work done. They have baked goods and sandwiches and whatnot... the real CAN’T…

Having spent 20 years as a yankee living in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill (Research Triangle) area, and having done lots of traveling around NC (a lot of time spent in Charlotte), I have to agree with this - Asheville area is cool, the beaches are cool if you’re into Atlantic beaches, but as far as metro areas, the…

I watched Jeruzalem a few weeks ago after seeing this list published elsewhere... and it definitely fell into the camp of “turned it off an hour or so in because it was BAD.” It was super slow, had lots of unnecessary footage, and not much in the way of scares, jump or otherwise. We kept having this feeling it was…

I once used a glitter hair-and-body spray for a costume party, and my arms and legs were COVERED in glitter. I scrubbed. I used dawn dish detergent. I used baby oil. I took 3 showers. Each time, it would look, in the shower, like I had gotten it all off, but then when I’d get out and was drying off in better light,…

I’m wondering if there are any advantages to Google Pay’s new service as compared to Samsung Pay? Android and Apple pay are ubiquitous at retailers who accept NFC paymetns, which is to say, not SUPER common. However, Samsung Pay will not only work at NFC-enabled terminals, but will actually send a magnetic signal that…

I got a bright red NYX Liquid Suede lip color in an Ipsy bag a year or two ago and was horrified by it - I put it on and let it dry and then said out loud “Wait, is this supposed to actually feel like suede on my lips?!?!” - because it actually felt the nappy texture of rough suede. I tried to give it a chance for an…

How about if you prefer not to have to de-shell your shrimp while you’re eating them? Would this work as well with peeled and deveined shrimp? I’m guessing you’d get less flavor from not cooking them in their shells, but would it otherwise work well? Have any of you tried this?

An additional tip about SPRAY glitter removal (a common halloween item) - I used a hair and body glitter spray once and had a fine sheen of glitter all over me. I showered and scrubbed with soap, washcloth, even with dawn dish detergent (the only thing I’ve found that will get baby oil out of hair), and after thinking…

For what it’s worth, my housekeeper friend has been a huge fan of the Dyson Animal for many many years. She uses it all day every day, and replaces them with refurb ones when they eventually break down (because she uses it far more than the average user, in a lot of houses with pets). She has specifically said that…
