I don’t think I’ve been affected by ransomware personally, but I did fall victim to survey scam that basically sold all my information and now I get SO MUCH MORE SPAM. I even get really scary spam that tells me they’re a neighbor around the corner from me on my street! So my contribution is — beware free or…

This is exactly what I was wondering.

I have a surefire strategy.

It’s common commencement speech fodder, really.

Or you could just tie the bag at the top at the can, much the way cleaners do.

I don’t see a problem with limiting myself to two devices — I use Evernote largely to keep track of recipes I find online, and mostly need it as I’m shopping or cooking, so definitely need it for the phone and my Kindle Fire. But what gives me pause is that if they’re going down to two devices, they could eventually…

Meh. Does not look better. And can they beat the $1.50 hot dog and drink combo? I didn’t think so.

Is one ever really financially secure?

There is also staying absolutely still.

Not Serenity.....Nooooooooooooooooooo!

I was a journalism major in college and my friends and I had all manner of lofty dreams about glamorous news careers. Just about a month ago, one friend and I managed to get together because he was in town to cover the Mets-Dodgers series for his paper. He’s not at the paper he wants to be at, and Lord knows I feel…

Oh yeah, I forgot. That makes sense. Plus I think my husband I already had this discussion E before!

I’m a huge fan of the Target’s Up & Up products. I love their anti-bacterial wipes (I use them to wipe up everything I have to touch before I start working in my cesspool of a newsroom), their diapers, their ointments, face washes, lotions, etc.

In this vein, I sometimes think I need to shop the way guys do: find a style of something — pants, shirts, whatever — and buy several colors of it. Because the hardest part of shopping for me finding stuff that fits my outlier body shape. Jeans shopping is THE WORST.

Maybe that’s where a slow cooker comes in.

Ooh, I’m going to have to try that recipe. How long does it last?

I wish Instagram would stop trying to fiddle with its timeline and focus on the explosion of spam comments.

I feel like birds are actually smellier than cats.

The real interesting thing would be to figure out how babies instinctually know someone is awful. I once had a coworker who annoyed the hell out of me, and when I brought my oldest baby to visit work for the first time, he cried with her. Only her.

One should have a similar police when recommending friends for a job — which should be, it depends. Even if you’re friends, they might not work as hard as you and could eventually make you look bad. Friends are different from coworkers.
