What does cleaning a mattress entail? I thought you just flip it every so often and always have sheets on it.

I think you mean 6-8" piece of 2x4 6-8 feet would be huge just for hanging drywall! :)

I completely agree here. I still think about it in terms of this chart every time. If you are successfully teaching something to someone else, you need to be knowledgeable enough to analyze and evaluate if not synthesize it. Even if you aren't quite at that level yet, being forced to explain it in ways other than how…

Ahh, my favorite city, the city of mine-geles.

The best way to stick to this is to not make big purchases in haste. You always make the wrong decision when you buy in haste. If you think you have gone through all of this and you still "need" to buy it today, then you will need to buy it tomorrow...unless you didn't really need to buy it in the first place.

1) Have a list of places you want to go, both domestic and abroad. The list can be mostly mental, or you can actually write it down. If you want to travel with a significant other, or someone else, make the list together either by talking about places you both want to go or by making a list together.

Never tried it with a bathroom mirror, but rain-x works great for preventing fog. I used to use it on my goggles before snorkeling so the breath from my nose wouldn't fog up my goggles.

How are they claiming trademark on a word in the English dictionary??? It's not like they invented the word fallout. What the hell.

Or when you get an email, text, call, or anything from your bank, CALL THE NUMBER ON THE BACK OF YOUR CARD. If you answer a call, tell them you will call right back.

Anyone know why going from 24" to 27" virtually doubles the price of monitors? Is there something electronically that costs more, or is it just a way for companies to make more money?

Just avoid flavored condoms...unless you run out of jam for your PB&J, in which case just make a peanut butter sandwich and open the jar with a strawberry condom.

Be careful if your destination is far away with ordering online or over the phone. I have recently ordered flowers for a funeral from out of state and they ended up shorting me on the flowers and changing the colors. This also happened to my in-laws a couple of weeks later. It's really sad that flower shops do this…

Best thing I've seen for this is to make the sit command/action for the dog the natural reaction when a dog is running at/jumping on you; fold your arm/arms up into your chest. If the dog knows and obeys the sit command well enough, this won't be a problem. It's great with people that haven't met your dog and are…

The biggest problem I see myself as having had while I was trying to gain good weight during hs and college was that I didn't get nearly enough protein in my diet throughout most of my athletic career. I never got tired as I worked out several times a week, so I would work out more and never understood how the people…

That's because you live too close to the Gulf in Houston. North Texas has all the same great aspects, and much less humidity. The Metroplex is great. If you're open to other cities besides Houston, take a look at Dallas/Fort Worth.

I work down the street from a grocery store, so it's really easy for me to do this. Every Monday, or at least that is the goal, I get any of the following things that I am out of or almost out of from the store: bread, strawberry jam, and crunchy peanut butter. I also always get some bananas or other fruit that I am…

This article doesn't directly tell you how to build your intuition, or what to practice more, but both the fly-fishing story and the Einstein story from the 99u article tell us the how. The fly-fishing story tells us to fake it until we make it, and by guessing at when a trout is under a rock enough we will get it…

NONE OF THESE ARE EASY. I see your quick decisions as either you not having had to make these, you having made these rashly and without much thought, or you having these decided for you. If it is the first, I would suggest you think before you have to make any of these as it will take work and effort to reverse/change…

Im a pescatarian in Texas. I have this conversation regularly. At least 20% of the time people think I am saying that I can't eat meat because I'm Episcopalian. Cracks me up.
