I understand that not all homes have or want A/C; however, if you look into a modern “mini split” system, those are ductless and cost considerably less than your estimate of 30 years ago.

Just a word of warning:  the cardboard provides great food for carpenter ants.  Ask me how I know. 

I have about 40 years of experience drinking diet soft drinks from straws. I cannot say I noticed any medical condition due to not washing the straws, but I can tell you the drink will come through flat instead of bubbly if/when the straw is really grossly dirty. By that I mean you get black stuff on the brush when…

And if stock grows in your area, grow that to add fragrance to your cuttings.

C- is an accurate score for The Tomorrow War.  It’s 2:20 of slow moving story punctuated perhaps 4 times with some activity, some of which is high intensity. 

You’d think the sky was falling. Well, maybe the sky is falling in this case, but putting this headline in perspective, it seems every year we get the headline, California/Texas/Florida (pick one or more) Citrus Crop Wiped Out in Cold Snap.  Then the commodity prices adjust and life goes on.  Except for the sky…

You might try using a towel for drying once you’re certain you are clean. I use a soft microfiber towel made for car washing. 

It was 1998 and we were smack in the middle of Russia in April. Snow was piled 5 feet high in most of the town. We were we advised to bring some indoor shoes that nobody would wear outside in the snow, so I brought deck shoes as my indoor slippers. As we were leaving our hotel room for the day and stepping into the…

My sleep word is i-n-s-o-m-n-i-a.

Aisha, thanks for knowing the difference between a real bidet and the seat attachments you can buy. I haven’t done an exhaustive study of the history, but it seems there were classic European bidets and the Toto came along and reinvented everything. Too bad they did not rename the attachment devices, because they are…

You’re talking out of your ass...heh, heh, see what I did there? Anyway, 3-5 seconds!?!?!?! Tell it to the tar coming out of my butt. I have never timed my butt washing, but...30 seconds does seem like a long time, but 5 seconds is just getting started for me. Maybe it is more like 30 seconds.

@Amy G American Standard makes a combination soft closing toilet seat/bidet, and it is competitively priced. 

10.  Use as a dip for bacon.

The anti-cling components of the dryer sheet repel dust, keeping the particles from accumulating on your surfaces.

Aisha, I appreciate and respect your profession, but I have known other professional writers and have an idea how they work. I can help fill in some gaps, because I’ve been writing specifically about lawns for 20 years.

digitalsandwich78, you are correct. It would be imprudent for me, in San Antonio, sitting on 1,000 feet of solid limestone, to apply lime. The pH of a lot of Texas soil is 8.0. You might be tempted to adjust it by adding acidic supplements, but there’s that 1,000 feet of limestone to dissolve and flush away before you…

C’mon! Do you know who Dr. Roy Hinkley or Jonas Grumby are? Of course not. The Professor and Skipper were never known by their “real” names. And Gilligan was never called Willy. 

C’mon! When is a vibrator not a sex toy? They didn’t even change the advertising. All vibrators are shown to be useful on your neck and back. But that’s just the excuse to justify the purchase to your spouse. Target sells a green wand (for lack of a better term) about 30 inches in size including a giant hook shape at…

I don’t know about ugly, but I do know I have astigmatism and cannot see horizontal stuff as well as I can see vertical stuff. Losing the vertical tab separators is crippling. I’m throwing the astigmatismism card and demand a separate(or) but equal alternative no separators. Corollary to this demand is another demand…
