Good tip, I already have that app. Another that would work is WordSwag.

I decompress by greeting my dog and husband (if he gets home first), then changing clothes and either watching Netflix or listening to Pandora while making dinner. Later I go to the dog park and pet all the nice dogs while listening to the gossip from all the dog park regulars.

I am shocked that I did not already know about this whole line-of-sight thing. Why is it not mentioned more in the context of improving wifi signals? Did everyone else already know? (Serious questions.) I knew proximity was an issue, but keep my router in a central room of the house and the door is usually closed.

I definitely need to try this! I got the Day One app for free and set it to remind me to journal every day, but have been simply ignoring the reminder. I think the one sentence approach would help.

Russ, we have a 10-month-old terrier mix who digs up our yard and chews almost anything she can get her teeth on (even the middle of the deck floor). My husband and I try to give her toys and interesting things to do/chew on, especially since she is in the backyard while we are at work. We even built her a large…

I have used dental floss to cut many, many wedding and shower cakes. It is tidier and smoother than using the provided knives!

I'm 538,496 now, but not in a hurry. I don't have problems processing my Gmail through the default Mail app.

Have you already considered a Dropbox account? I have a photo file I share with my sister. You could set up a shared folder with everyone and have them upload their photos. I scroll through the whole collection in full screen or just as thumbnails. If you create new sub-folders, I think they are automatically shared.

I have had my relationship status on Facebook hidden (and blank) since a few months after I joined. When I started dating someone last year, we already knew neither of us posts extremely personal stuff on FB or (posts very often, actually). His status is set as "single" and visible, so I told him we could change our…

I've used iPhone app SimpleNote in the past to just create a text-only note with my list. This year, I'm trying to use Springpad. Set up a "Gift Ideas" Notebook and a different "spring" for each person. I like that this lets me copy and paste links and images as well as text and that it's organized. I also appreciate…

I haven't tried clearing the Java cache. Would uninstalling and reinstalling have cleared it for me?

Is anyone familiar with Runescape? I have been working on a Runescape-ite's Dell laptop that suddenly stopped loading the Java-heavy graphics correctly. It looks like Jagex (the creators) updated the graphics and now it is not working on this computer. He clicks the button to go to the login screen and gets a black,…

I try to maintain an Amazon wishlist throughout the year and then just edit the priority and comments right before Christmas and my birthday. This way, I can add things I want as I think of them (even from other sites) and may buy them myself or let others buy them as gifts. Currently on my list are mp3 albums, a…

To myself at 22, right before college graduation:

I'm an accountant (soon-to-be teacher) and do not have separate accounts. I have, however, made it challenging for people to find my social media accounts. I also do not accept friend requests from people I do not know or from most coworkers (unless we are also friends outside work).

On my MacBook Pro, fn+delete works as forward delete, but command+delete does not. That may be something you can change in advanced settings though.

The only app I've found is the Logitech TouchMouse which, as you mentioned, functions more like a trackpad.

When I bring my Aeropress to the office, I bring a small liquid measuring cup to microwave the water (after a little initial experimentation, I know how long to heat it in a specific microwave to achieve the desired temperature). A number of our water fountains and kitchenettes have hot water spigots, but I find them…

I like the the inClass app for iOS. You can read my review of it here: [practicaladventure.com] When studying, I like to have good lighting and relative quiet (no TV or movies on). I prefer to study away from home because I'm less likely to be distracted by doing household chores.

My banks tend to block Mint, so I use HomeBudget. I have to make entries manually, but can set up recurring ones. I think there is a free version that you can try before you buy the full one.
