The TP situation finally pushed me into getting a bidet attachment.  I’m no longer worried, at all, about TP. 

Agree. I’ve had 60 years of “streaming live TV” with rabbit ears on top of the TV. Originally there was no HD, but now more recently and with newer televisions, the vintage bunny ears get everything in HD. Hope you didn’t spend a lot for the HD antenna, because an antenna is an antenna.

First of all the original virus passer must have passed a full viral load onto the box. Then that virus must have been passed within the last 24 hours, because that’s how long it lives on paper and cardboard. But what if they passed lots of full viral loads? Then you would have to wipe your hand through at least one…

My mind is racing, and I have more questions. Are there any skins we should not use? I would normally have zucchini skins, potato, and carrot. What about flavored sugars with fruit skins? Most of the fruits I eat are apples, but what about the seemingly useless banana skins? Lemon skins? Tangerine skins? These are…

Love. It! What about roasting the skin trash before you salt it?

Here’s an antiviral story that should go viral.  Copper has magical properties. 

I always have Waze turned on when I’m on the highway. Today, for example, it steered me off the freeway south of Austin to the access road for 7 kilometers (whatever that is in Imperial, and don’t ask why I have Waze set to metric). I bypassed maybe a thousand cars stuck in construction congestion. Maybe it was 2,000,…

First of all, I’m a dude, and I believe that makes a difference for some solutions (but not these I’m offering). I rarely get symptoms, but for fever, aspirin. For cold sores (any kind of herpes), aspirin (2 every 4 hours until it’s gone, which is quickly). For really bad sinus and watery eyes, and I mean not normal…

I don’t know if this is a myth or what, but I always thought that my weight prevented me from being able to touch my toes. Then in comes my daughter. She happens to be a yogi and exercises a lot, for years. She also happens to be a good 40+ pounds overweight. Yet due to practice practice practice, she can easily bend…

My kitchen confidence has grown tremendously after the purchase of two things. First was the Nuwave portable induction cook top. You can set the temperature you want and it goes there...or does it. When I put water in the pan and set the temp to 210 (F), it does not necessarily boil. It does not boil at 215 either.…

If you have duct tape, just pick up the dust with the tape. You’ll get it all and it won’t blow away. I use wide masking tape. I stick it to the length of a yard stick, and sweep over the floor with that. Peel off the tape, repeat if necessary, and you’re done. This works very good for broken glass or ceramic. The…

Windows 10 is starting to sound like Windows Vista, except this time they are actually trying to fix it.

I completely forgot about Mailstore Home. I had it two computers ago and forgot about it.. Thanks.

You call it upgrade.  I call it a necessary evil.  Maybe even unnecessary since there are still plenty of people running Win XP. 

And you forgot the Hiney clean link.

I have a copy of Song of the South around here somewhere. I got it just because Disney banned it. It is really bad. 

Statistically you’re dead right.  But for the few, it’s like winning a (small) lottery.  One of my coworkers sent a check to someone living in a trailer in Arkansas for $375,000, and that was just to get him to sign the lease.  The royalties hadn’t started yet. 

All you need is a lice comb and THIS 21-day combing approach. You don’t even need to comb every single day, and combing every single day still takes 21 days. It is based on the lice life cycle. You can’t get the nits in the comb, so you have to wait for them to hatch. Then you grab them on the comb. My wife and…

OMG! No, it doesn’t. The “let’s do lunch” gambit is a blow off. It’s a lie. It’s a conversation ending white lie.  Please don’t be offended when the person you were talking to never calls to set up lunch.  And please don’t call them to set it up. 

This is the reason I like the Walmart Pay system which is QR Code based. I’m almost certain that looking at a QR code will not install malware...other than the obvious payment system. And I have to trust Walmart to not put a rogue QR code on the checkout stand. That seems safer than the beam based systems.
