I guess he's never been to Fenway. An Old School park that sells SUSHI.

Quinoa too!

And an aside, I look forward to seeing your country in summer of 2014 when I follow my football team down. :-)

A pressure cooker can lessen the time it would take to cook meats and other foods that would otherwise require slow cooking or long periods of stovetop cooking (or even oven cooking). It's also useful for canning low acidic content foods such as minced meat or beans. It can more than halve the time it takes for rice…

Most now use VOIP tech or can link to your cell phone. Call your provider.

I use mine to quick-cook beans and to can low acidic foods such as chicken broth.

Perfect for the new Verismo we got thanks to my husband working for Starbucks.

I do both. I also make the sweeter items with other squashes which are more plentiful and cheaper than pumpkins (because pumpkins are a 'holiday' food they jack up the price). You can get similar taste profiles with butternut squash.

Before or after Big Dig? I do frequently go to familiar places in Boston without GPS, but the Financial District is a huge maze to me

I use Waze to determine traffic. I don't use it for the directionals in my hometown so much as to utilize the best route to and from work. I also use it to get to places in the area I've ever been to before. Try driving in Boston without GPS some day.

You took my sarcasm too literal, actually. Do you realize how much divorce COSTS?

Because that's realistic.

Rather than forgetting things, I actually have all my toiletries set up permanently in my travel bag. I also only travel with a carry-on so it's fairly clear cut and everything needs to be in plastic bags for security (and liquids under 3 oz). After each trip I put a note in my bag on what is running low or ran out…

Caveat: In December my office is closing and they're moving us closer to where I live. I'm the only one actually going. Everyone else negotiated work from home to avoid the 45 - 90 minute commute (Traffic depending). My new commute will be 20 - 25 minutes with no traffic. I seriously can't wait.

It doesn't take into account how vacation is accrued at various companies either. I started here 5 years ago with 2 weeks and am up to 4 weeks. I had 3 weeks at my old job after leaving after 7 years. I would have gotten 4 weeks after 10 years.

This is not always feasible. To move me closer to my work would move my husband 2x as far from his job. We live in the middle.

You can turn off pings and make sure you've turned off group notifications. However, it's on the wishlist to turn off notifications while stopped.

Use Waze. It's available for iPhone and Android and it's social traffic. You work with other Wazers to help it determine where bad traffic is and route you the best way.

My oven has a feature where you put a bit of water (and maybe some vinegar) on the bottom (element is hidden) and then run it in a steam clean mode.

It seems like this could very easily backfire... Especially if your boss only has a few direct reports or if your writing style or content can be distinguished from your colleagues in any manner. Or if you would be the only likely source of critique.
