locationI tried to call the airline when my flight from Chicago to Tokyo was cancelled. Didn’t work as they couldn’t find an onward flight to my next destination. Had to line up with everyone else for 6 hours and get rerouted to a flight 1.5 days later

I then dump the remaining quart or 2 gas from my gas can in the car with a mostly full tank and burn it off so I'm starting with fresh every season. Before I get criticized for damaging my engine - I guarantee you that there's gas in your car tank that's been there since the day the tank got its first gas and we are…

We live in a screwed up world where entertainment and sports personalities earn more than the doctors who have to treat them when they get sick

Keep in mind landlords perspective “if I don’t like your changes, I will take it out of your deposit when you leave to repair it”. Most are not going to charge you for an improvement to the property but if you botch your improvement and the landlord has to attend to it you will.

I thought the article was going to say of 95% of health advice reposted on Facebook etc is based on less than 5% truth. Which is probably true too!

Or: add a little olive oil to a large skillet, crush or finely chop some garlic, finely chop an onion, fry them up gently until the onion is translucent, chop up those tomatoes toss them in, add some italian herbs, some salt and pepper, and a splash of red wine. Cook over a medium-low heat for 20 minutes, and enjoy…

Then drink the lemon drink you made?

For as cheap as the materials/tools are to replace the screen, I'd go ahead and replace it rather than patch it. Windows are your view out of the house, so it'll look ugly even if done well.

Ok, if you click on the picture you can’t get out of it until you type something, and the cancel button doesn’t work... forced comment! File this one in Kinja bugs

Keep the breakup as amicable as possible regardless of how terrible the other person is being. If it ends up in divorce court, be open with your boss as to what is happening, they can cut you slack
1. It’s not worth fighting a custody battle, it only hurts the child(ren). Just tell your ex all you want is the state…

My wife and I were both married before and divorced. We chose to get married at the courthouse and have a nice dinner reception. We had about 60 friends and family come and we kept costs way down - paid cash except for the rings. I think exclusive of the rings we had maybe $3000 worth of venue, food and drink. Skipped…

tip: download Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking vol. 1 on iPad or Kindle, you can discretely read the front section for tips like this and your better half will have no idea you're reading a cookbook ;)

while you can't use 100% as you don't eat the skin and the roots or top, I find this is acceptable to get all the edible part if done right. chop around the root in the last slice, then dice that manually

I do it the way from Julia Childs book - chop off the top, chop in half through the root, peel off the skin, then cut lengthways to the root (but not through) then turn the knife flat and cut, then finaly I do the horizontal cuts that pulls it into a nice fine dice and holds it together using the root section.

So Google lists menards, lowes and Home Depot, a do it right place with lumber in the name, and a lumber supplier that is actually aimed at construction (basically sell construction lumber, they are the #1 truck I see dropping off stuff at construction sites in town), oh well... Problems with being in a small town in…

Local is quite a joke... my closest "local" lumber yard according to the Hardwood Distributers Association is 2-3 hours away.

Being over 2 hrs from the nearest ikea, I would probably go hunting at the local big box diy store for parts instead, but looks pretty good. However given ikea stuff is often hollow, if this lack shelf is hollow I’d love to see the USB hub embedded into it

6” can make a huge difference if you sit at the computer all day long. I know many people who have had persistent neck problems fixed by even a 3 inch adjustment to where the monitor sits. Thankfully we all (as in the people I’m referring to here and me) work for a company where we can get an ergonomic review and…

The best cardio you can do is the one you enjoy. If you enjoy dancing, do it, if you enjoy running or biking, do it, if you enjoy swimming, do it, but for goodness sake do something!

I suck at coupons... The amount of time I've left "$10 off $50" coupons sitting on the counter at home and not realize until I'm in the line at the store, then I lose the receipt before I go back or the coupon expires.
