This theory has validity. The problem is that in our current society, you aren't exposed to the cooties of 2000 people, you are exposed simultaneously to the germs of millions of people traveling and importing things from all over the world. Because most of them prefer filthy, bacteria-covered hands, you get more…

Hot water strips away the natural oils in your hands and leaves your skin drier than necessary. I like hot water only because I am always cold at work, but it isn't the healthiest. The friction of rubbing is what removes the germs from your skin and the water is to rinse them away. You aren't generally killing so…

I'm with you all the way. I looked for flights to Perú and it keeps offering me a trip to Ohio.

My personal experiences:

I also hate attachments that could have easily been included in the text portion of the email. At my company, management is notorious for making these stupid single-page PowerPoint presentations that eat up space to the point that each time I am off for more than 3 days, I get nastygrams telling me that my data…

I used to do this when I was in high school (and it's been a while). I think I read about is in Hints from Heloise. I have also used it without oil to make instant packing material.

Um... seiun ... I've personally witnessed many patients in my ER taped down to backboards getting tickets from the present officer for this very reason. (Houston) Don't do it here.

Man! I wish I could get "normal" hours. When my son was in infant, I developed the habit of waking up over and over to check on him. I've never un-developed that. I wake up every time I need to roll over and I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. I have to drug myself to be able to get enough sleep to…

WOT

I keep a list of my goals: short term (months), mid-range (2-5 years) and long-term (5+ years) in my purse, on my mirror, in my locker, and in my truck. I do mental updates but once a year I commit this to paper to re-post. I also have a list of things about me that I need to "fix". I made this after my last…

I am so excited to see quilting talked about on Lifehacker. I posted a link to this on Craftster.org—the only other site I check EVERY day besides my email. Yay!!!

Okay kids, you can typically get cuttings/extras from anyone you know over 40. (What is it with this "where do you buy" crap?) Aloe is super easy to grow and looks great. The cat can chew on it all she wants. Mother-in-law's Tongue/aka snake plant repels pit vipers (rattlesnakes)so they are also great to plant in…

Works fine for me. And, about that drivel about requiring a credit card number? Nonsense!

For all you people bitching and moaning, did any of you put any reviews in? It only takes a minute to put in some basic info. A site has to start somewhere....

Personally, I was looking for another option for my ghastly "entertainment center". This has some serious promise! (I am terribly congested right now and surrounded by tissues. The comments made me laugh myself into a terrible coughing fit!)

Guys, the fingernail attention is muy important. Don't walk around looking you you are 6 years old and digging in the dirt!

I work 16 hour shifts (that means often 17) When I have had a particularly brutal day, I might use this trick to refresh my hair. The powder trick only takes about 10 to 15 seconds. It helps my confidence to know that I don't LOOK greasy!

Another option is to clip the corners (the sharp, itchy corners) of the tag. I like to round them a bit. This decreases the itchy in stuff that needs to keep the tags. Other than that, everything I buy is cotton. I already know how to care for cotton and don't need instructions to do so. After things are worn…
