You can do both. I have priority inbox, plus a few other inboxes for quick access to some of my filter emails - in my case, Recipes, Wedding, and then Everything Else. You can also access all of the filters as separate inbox/folders from the left sidebar. You can either always have the inbox names showing or only show…

Soup in a Mason jar is my go-to make-ahead. Soup is simple to make, very cheap, and generally freezes well. Excepting dairy additions, you have pretty free reign to make whatever you want with whatever you have a hand, which saves a trip to the grocery store.

I always order my breakfast sandwiches without cheese because a) it's weird cheese, especially combined with sausage and egg and b) it forces them to make a fresh sandwich because you can't just pull the goo off and call it good.

I think a bigger indicator is the frequency of these methods in handling situations. I'm a very defensive person and I'm very used to shutting down when I'm upset. Both of these tactics put a huge strain on my relationship until my husband called me out on them - and allowed me call him out on his own defensiveness…

This is exactly why I love Story Bundle and Humble Bundle (for eBooks and games). It's great to be able to designate where my money goes AND to have the ability to say how much I think a product is worth. I usually more than the minimum limit because I believe that eBooks are worth more than $1 each - but I definitely…

It also matters for me, as I have very sensitive teeth, especially in the front. There was a period where we were trying to save money by buying cheap toothpaste and my sensitivity got so bad that I couldn't eat anything that wasn't room temprature. Even using the stuff I use now (usually Pronamel), I still can't bite…

We had renter's insurance on everything from the moment we moved in to our first place. The least amount of coverage we could get was $30k, which is a lot more than I think renters need BUT it was $42 every three months, so it was super cheap.

If you have enough experience in a field and build a good network, you can make good money as a consultant, which is generally a work-from-home/semi-part time gig. You can command good money as a consultant, especially if you work really hard to be noticed in the job that you do.

This is true about all security measures, whether they're physical or digital - however, a lot of crimes are crimes of opportunity or, especially for digital crimes, committed by someone close to the victim. It's worth it to have decent security measures in place, like a good lock or a password that isn't…

You do, actually. Amazingly enough, anyone can get drunk, regardless of their nationality. My German teacher tried to tell me you don't see a lot of drunk Germans but two trips to Germany later and I know the truth. Saw plenty of drunk Italians in Germany too.

Water filters like Brita don't touch bacteria that's in the water, but I agree with John that there is good in being exposed to some bacteria. If something is wrong with the water, like a sewage leak, the water company will (well, should) let you know and then you should boil it out. As far as dirt pipes go - well,…

Supposedly, there will be "low income" options for people who can't afford $35 to fight the charges, but the whole thing is absolute crap. The ISP gets it wrong and I have to pay them to fix it? And $35? That's my Internet bill for a whole month! I realize they probably don't want everyone appealing every notice in…

I'd love to hear from other commenters who have turned their tablets into recipe-wielding, ninja kitchen devices, as that's my plan for my Kindle Fire HD.

This is a great article. There are a lot of gluten free recipes out there but sometimes the change is hard. I miss flour tortillas like you wouldn't believe. There's nothing on the market, homemade or pre-packaged, that tasted quite the same. :/

Totally agree with this. When we moved into our house, the fabric softener cup was a solid layer of gunked up Downy or whatever they used. I soaked it overnight with vinegar, ran a load of towels, then wiped it all out in one go. Now I always fill the cup with vinegar and dump a quarter cup of baking soda into the…

Amazon has a "Print to Kindle" extension for both Chrome and Firefox. You just click the button, and it sends the article to your "default" Kindle. I've noticed that even though my default reader is my Kindle Keyboard, my Kindle Fire automatically updates with the latest from my Kindle library, so I can read it on…

I left my previous position because my manager refused to take responsibility for her mistakes. We both started around the same time, so we were both learning, which I understood. However, her "training" method was to teach me how she thought something was supposed to be done, THEN actually go learn how to do it…

Even in the areas where there is a higher population density, like New York or Chicago, the internet costs are still prohibitive to families with low income. So population density only plays a small part in it. We lived right near downtown in a highly populated area of Michigan, but we were paying closed to $60 a…

I second the person who said avoid the sets and just buy individual pieces. It's more expensive but you generally get better pieces. I would start by replacing your most used/worst looking pans first.

The patent system works a lot like the litigation system - you can sue/patent anything, but whether you actually get what you want is a different story. Here's hoping they don't get it.
