Seconded.  I cleaned a driveway in a less than a minute.  It was just as fast as blowing leaves. 

Hurry on over to Shawn Woods’ YouTube channel for a catalog of mouse trap ideas along with visual proof of effectiveness.

Sometimes our cat would catch two a day. She would leave us the stomachs as trophies, right outside our bedroom door.

Be extremely careful where you use blood meal.  It is a very powerful organic fertilizer and can burn your plants overnight if you put down too much. 

If you look around at different food cultures, you’ll find a taco shaped item in every one of them. Crepes. Omelets.  Gyros.  Etc.  I even fold my pizza slices together to form a taco shape. 

I don’t get why people want to hold the entire weight of a vacuum cleaner in their hand instead of letting it support itself on its wheels. If you can call this one light weight, what do you call mine that weighs zero pounds in my hand?

I will agree it has a bit of a clunk to it.  And you do have to use Dropbox or something like it for the full integration as mentioned above.  At the time I started using it the other solutions were also clunky, unreliable across platforms, and/or expensive. 

After many years I’m still happy with Keepass. 

I realize this is one of Lifehacker’s recycled Valentine’s topics, but I’m going to comment anyway. I thought I had already commented on the topic, but can’t find it, so...

I used Reflect on both of my daughters’ sluggish laptops and on my desktop. Works great.

How to watch the Northern Lights. Step 1, move to Alaska. But that makes me wonder. Can they see the NL in the UK, which is north of the US (except Alaska). My parents lived in Newfoundland for awhile, and could see them there. 

We used to mess with restaurant greeters by giving my mother-in-law’s maiden name, Szczygielski, instead of my easily pronounceable name, Hall. But using Hall almost always turned into Paul no matter how well I enunciated. I missed several dinner calls for Paul, but I never missed them stumbling to pronounce…

When W10 first came out, you could not edit the update configuration. That was a huge red flag for many W7 users. 

I have only been carrying a flipper pocket knife for 4 years (I’m 69). I inherited my father’s collection of pocket knives years ago, but his are far too hard to open with my flimsy thumbnails. Spring assisted flippers are great for me because they open with one finger. If I or my wife needs to cut something, I have…

My father was a grilling master. Even though his favorite grill was only 15 inches square, he was able to cook steak for a crowd with no problems.

Try it on a baked potato.  I’ve been doing that for years. 

I must be lucky. 57 years of wearing glasses and never broke a pair.

My daughter buys glasses from them every time she gets a new dress. I on the other hand, did not have such good luck with them. They got my astigmatism prescription very wrong - wasted money.  I will use the frames and get backup lenses when I finally get glasses somewhere else. 

I am reminded almost weekly of the hazards associated with W10. It seems every time you turn a W10 machine on you have to check for dubious updates. Or it will update for you and restart while you are in the middle of your spreadsheet, novel, or Photoshop project.

Let’s ask it another way. How much will a divorce save you? My ex spent my $100,000 savings in 2 years buying clothing, shoes, jewelry, and travel. Yes, I should have seen it coming when she came into the marriage with a zero balance savings account, but the divorce was worth every penny to stop the financial hemorrhag…
