A big thinks to all of you ranting about losing the pregnancy weight. I'm 8 months pregnant now and am already more paranoid than I need to be about losing the weight before returning to work. (It didn't help that one (overweight) midwife told me I had gained 5 lbs too much.) So, thanks for the reminder that it's…

Are you all kidding with the Victoria Secret being made for size A's? I am barely a size A and quit shopping at VS because I hated the condescension about my size every time I tried to buy a bra: "Oh we don't make that one in YOUR size." They would give me one "option" with no lace and beige only. Since those were…

I would welcome more GnuCash posts. Or perhaps a GnuCash tag (seems a little odd that you had to tag it with Quicken and Money!). I just downloaded it this weekend and I could really use a Lifehacker step-by-step guide to getting started!

My trick? Fresh ingredients. You hear it on Top Chef and others TV shows all the time, but you don't really believe it until you taste it yourself. Also, you need less ingredients when the ones you use taste good.

JD got the credit card to go to Europe. I find the best, and most justifiable, use of credit cards is for travel.

Hey, we do this in our household and it has definitely made us healthier(admittedly, we are adults, not kids). We prepare the salad on Sunday night for Monday through Wednesday and put the toppings in separate containers. But yes, some veggies work better than others. We variously use corn, beets, black beans,…

It's worth noting that the article is a writer at Wise Bread's interpretation of Trent's (Simple Dollar's author) article. Trent lives in Iowa. The Wise Bread author lives in Seattle. If Trent can find free activities in Iowa; anyone in Seattle can certainly succeed. I stayed with friends in Seattle once who were…

Another vote for outmoded. "unaccompanied lady", "When escorting a lady"—this is language from the '80s, 1880s. There's common courtesy and there's treating women like helpless little flowers—some of this advice is more like the second. If I need to put on my coat, my husband will frequently take the bag I am…

Does anyone else have problems with the album covers not matching the music? I probably should try to re-import the covers, but for now, I'm just entertained by seeing Johnny Cash's face appear next to "The Simpsons" soundtrack.

Unfortunately, this system does not work so well with the 3-1-1 TSA system. Ever since the new rules, I've had a hard time being an efficient packer. It's tough to be organized when the contact case goes in one bag and the contact solution in another. Same story with medicine and makeup. Has anyone figured out a…

The calendar portion of the feature never seems to work for me. The Google maps portion shows up, but not the "add to calendar" portion. Anyone have any guesses as to why?

Katie here. Thanks for the ideas, although I'm not about to dump the fiancé (now spelled correctly). He installed a personal wiki for wedding and all other life-together planning, so he's definitely a Lifehacker-style keeper. And unfortunately (or fortunately or I wouldn't be marrying him) he's smart enough to…

That article is drafted by someone who wants to merely sell their products.
