A party cut or party slices gets your pie cut into more than the standard number of slices. I used a party cut in both Ann Arbor and Atlanta in the last few weeks and did not explain it to anyone. Got what I wanted. Cut in squares gets it, shockingly, cut in squares.

I get 2.5% cash back from a USAA card. I use AmEx Everyday for 6% cash back on groceries and a different USAA card for 6% back on gas.

I have have been preparing the best Thanksgiving turkey for almost 40 years now. It’s simple - cook your bird for 80% of its cooking time upside down in a cooking bag. It will give you the tastiest breast you have enjoyed. This year I am cooking two birds. One Grandma’s way (above), the other a more traditional way,…

I prefer cash back every month. Otherwise I am very happy with my Amex Everyday card. I get 6% back at the grocery store (PSA - WalMart is not categorized at a grocery store).

Do your utilities charge or not accept your Amex? I charge everything but my mortgage and my low rate truck payment.

I fully believe you. My rural living cousins do not have a key to the door.

They are for sale which is different than on sale.

I am not aware of any phone company that “gives” you a new phone every year.

Scheduled airline flights almost NEVER leave more than 10 minutes early. And then maybe 15 minutes early. That’s the magic of a schedule, you know when things will happen.

It would be helpful if someone would create a ubiquitous device to fit in one’s pocket or on an arm and easily set an alarm or something. But it’d probably never be more than just a fad.

I would have preferred Apple buy Sonos over Beats. I had a Sonos system last fall (two Play 1's and a TV bar) and it never cooperated with my wifi. I enjoyed them when they worked, but often would lose the connection during playback.

I lived in Memphis for a couple years, first and only place I have had this abomination known as dry rub. If we have ribs and my house, don’t wear a white shirt. My ribs will be wet, messy and damn tasty.

I second this test. I recently purchased a Yeti and Rtic. Found comparable results. Will test other cups as the need to purchase arises.

I second the above. I love me some Cricket, I fired AT&T over two years ago. Saving more than $40 per month. It might work for you, if get AT&T service you can get service with Cricket. It DOES NOT offer service outside of continental North America. May want to check that out if you are a global traveler like I am.

For the last 19 months I have used the same well known battery case on my iPhone 6 and 6s. When I upgrade it will no longer be useful as it will not fit my phone. The next time I spent $100 on a case, it will be a multi-item battery pack. My Mophie is nice when I am out and about in a foreign land and do not want to…

That’s no sammich, you just copied my cable TV remote.

That people visit NYC and go to Olive Garden may be, as a person filled with wanderlust, one of the saddest things I have read.

I have coworkers who cancel Comcast TV service, go to stream only mode and then come back because they constantly go over the data caps or slow speeds on the lower cost Internet only offerings. For me it is simpler to eat the slightly higher costs of using the hated Comcast but get everything I want on one remote and…

buy a generic case and leave it in your suitcase. It should remind you as you pack to grab your mouth guard.

To each his own. I have three cast iron skillets. One only ever has cornbread in it, the other only eggs, the third is everything else that is not the first two or boiled. All started their life in my home by cooking only bacon for months.
