Well put. I must add that awesomeness to my lexicon.

Judging the situation, let's take it a step further and call this stuff "swill."

Simple. Insist that guests with poor taste in alcohol to take their inferior leftovers home with them. On the other hand, say nothing to the folks who are leaving delicious stuff behind (you wouldn't want to remind them and risk seeing the goods walk out your door).

As long as the skin's not broken, I've found that frequently blotting on some vinegar helps with itch and stinging (if you don't mind the smell).

I second the soy candles and also want to add beeswax candles to the list. Anything else just messes up the air with chemical fragrances and impurities.

Many pharmacies carry alum sticks.

I wholeheartedly recommend eating at the Palomino! BBQ greatness! Love the pulled pork poutine and bacon-wrapped corn on the cob: [www.thepalomino.ca]

In Canada, we don't feel it's necessary to bring big guns with us wherever we go. Not trying to inflame anyone, just sayin'.

Knowing that they served Keystone and Bud Light is almost as horrific as the moldy lines ;)

Magical. Thanks for puttin' the word out.

I'm interested in the portable version. Does anyone have an idea about how long it might take for the updated GIMP to appear on Portable Apps?

@Bryon Burgan Exactly. This article is a waste of words and a waste of my reading time.

Great post. I feel a strong urge to point out the last sentence to a co-worker who's a good guy outside the office but, in the office, his effectiveness tanked long ago.

OH GOD YES.

For non-Mac users, I've made good use of the Firefox add-on "IE Viewer" for a couple work-related pages that function better in Explorer.

Just want to chime in and echo the love for [F.lux] - another great tip I learned a while back from Lifehacker.
