I only clicked on the story to check for that inclusion in the list.

Mario is the first “family” theatrical movie released since before Thanksgiving last year. It was mind boggling that there weren’t any animated movies releases in last year’s holiday lineup. As a parent, sometimes you just want a safe movie to take the kids to. It’s been over six months since that market has been…

That’s becoming less common. Modern lines now run on fiber ONTs instead of a single low voltage copper pair all the way from your home to the phone company office switch.

You can make phone calls from an amazon Alexa device. Once we figured that out, the home phone was gone.

Scott Adams of Dilbert fame wrote about systems instead of goals. A good diet is a system that allows you make better dining choices instead of a goal that you need to punish yourself to achieve.

Photoshop’s whole toolbar is based on real life darkroom tools kids will never see or use in real life. Concepts like idioms are like how space shuttle solid rocket boosters trace their size requirements to Roman Chariots (https://dwanethomas.com/roman-chariots-and-the-space-shuttle/)

I’m really surprised you didn’t mention interest paid on a HELOC may be tax deductible if the expenses were used to improve of repair the home. Just don’t use the HELOC to fund a vacation or toys unrelated to the home.

This article should have come with some sort of cautionary note like this link: https://www.eatthis.com/news-side-effects-eating-too-much-cheese/

Don’t fall for a “free delivery” deal. It just means a driver is being exploited.

As someone who has attempted to teach hundreds of youth at summer camps how to whittle, I assure you the hobby is not cheap. I’ve seen it cost many people literal blood, sweat, and tears.

This time of year, Costco has an amazing cranberry goat cheese. The flavors are awesome together.

The accusations of Chapek’s creative accounting concerning new shows on Disney+ are the most damming. The guy was committing fraud on the highest levels.

Chapek is all about profits in the here and now. Under his leadership the company is loosing the vision of lifelong customer loyalty.

“Enjoy” and “Frontier” aren’t usually words found in the same galaxy.

I feel like you should add “anything you wouldn’t be able to replace” to this list. I’ve run a small storage facility in Arizona for about 3 years. Nothing is more heartbreaking than getting a call weeks and months after an abandoned unit is auctioned off from the delinquent/AWOL renter. When we open those units up,…

Making better choices requires proactively creating better options to choose. This morning I was craving an egg McMuffin on the way into work. Then I realized I already had some yogurt packs in my office mini-fridge. Today’s morning snack was healthier for both my wallet and me.

I see one of my sons turning his nose up at completing assignments for the same reasons I did as a child. The assignments are pointless because the teachers are teaching to the lowest performing student who needs excessive repetition to grasp a basic concept. There is no opportunity for a child who has mastered a…

We live in the desert southwest. Today’s high is expected to be in the 90's. Carved pumpkins last at most a few days here before becoming a mold infested squishy mess.

The dog. My wife did not handle the upending of our lives well. My youngest son still claims he doesn’t know how to do things because he didn’t finish kindergarten. When she said she wanted a dog, I argued against it. Now we have a husky/lab mix that sheds so much fur that I don’t even spend time downstairs or in the…

My aunt and uncle owned a vacation condo with carpet in the bathroom for as long as I could remember. They were very well off, so I could never figure out how they managed to never replace the area around the toilet and shower with some kind of hard surface.
