If you have a gas connection for your house already, it isn't terribly expensive to get a new line run. We are in the process of switching from an electric cooktop to gas, and even with permit it was only about $600 to run a new 1" line from the meter. Plus I have enough capacity to extend that line in the future to…

Yeah buddy! We made the first of a 2 part move over the weekend, and while the moving itself was hell-ish and our temporary situation is less than ideal, the drastically shorter commute (we're about 5 miles from our final destination, so it will be roughly static now) has made all the difference. Plus the new house…

New Place + 30 to 45 minute total daily commute > Old Place + Hassle and Expense of Moving - 1 to 2 hour daily commute.

Not that I don't appreciate these posts, but having similar topics geared to less creative and more regimented path would be nice. I am a project manager for a large construction company, so not checking email until noon and putting my phone in another room will only work in as much as I won't have a job to be…

Didn't even wait until New Years, booked a week in a condo in Hawaii in May right after Thanksgiving and got it approved immediately. Which is great, because in the last week I went from 3 projects to 6 that i am responsible for at the moment.

Don't forget that the entire ceiling will almost certainly need to be skim coated with drywall compound to seal it, smooth it, and make it level.

I stand corrected, in iOS you get 5 free, then have to upgrade to premium for more. Gripe withdrawn!

So I get to pay for something on my HTC One M8 that I can do for free on my iPad? No thanks

I picked up the cheapest Philips model when it went on sale a few weeks back, and it has made a noticeable difference to how I feel in the morning. I usually wake up about 5 or 10 minutes before it hits the peak intensity level I have it set for, so i enjoy a few minutes of letting the gradually brightening room…

Some contractors may list the permit costs, but expect the homeowner to pay for them directly, depending on the permit.

Automatically seals itself when you aren't drinking to prevent spills and keep your drink hot or cold for up to 4 hours on the 16 oz and 6 hours on the 20 oz. And the claim to keep it HOT is not at all exaggerated, I've forgotten a full mug in the car and come back half a day later and it is still piping hot.

I do believe that is the sequel there, not the first movie

I read it as go on a couple of dates before bringing it up to the friend, not go out for a couple of months.

I think "across the grain" is a more accurate term, because it boils down to wanting to cut the meat perpendicular to the grain, to create shorter fibers.

I have stood beneath that clock on Waikiki

I hit the sweet spot for 2013 and only owe $43. Which means most of my money was in my account when I needed it, paying off debt or building savings throughout the year.

Hi Hal! My question has to do with employer provided retirement saving programs. I just started at a new firm, and in 10 weeks will be able to participate in either a standard 401K or a Roth 401K or some combination of both. I will also get a certain percentage of matching from my employer (100% on first 3%, 50% on…

So not even to wash hands?

This is great! Now if they can just bring back the ability to look at different route options in Navigation after you have already chosen a route but want or need other options. I used to be able to look at route options while stuck in traffic and it would tell me if there was a better alternate route. Now you…

"Non-alcoholic" and "beer" are both words, but become gibberish when put together!
