I’ve been campaigning against core aeration for at least 10 years. I agree that the soil needs to be open for air and penetration, but I disagree that punching a few hundred, or thousand, holes into the soil is the best way to accomplish the goal. On the opposite side of my argument are thousands of landscape…

I’ve composted 2 dogs. If you get foul odors, or attract pests then you don’t know how to manage your compost pile.

...but if you WANT a lawn, be sure to use turf which is native or adapted to your climate and soil.

I used to take the ID card pictures for our small office. I always told the people, “don’t smile - just look pleasant.” You need to look like you normally look, not like you’re laughing at a joke.

This is not a warm area issue. Why? Because where it routinely runs in the 90s most of the summer, we all have AC taking care of the humidity for us. Also the water coming into the house is more like 75-90 degrees F in the summer.

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.
