Much like the old book, “Who moved the cheese” (about retraining yourself like a mouse in a maze when the cheese is moved). Maybe Peter Drucker was the author? EXCEPT he was able to communicate ideas without using profanity.

My thoughts exactly. always understood that pasta needs lots of water to float around and circulate up and down in. Until, in a hurry I tried the skillet. Try it, you might be pleasantly surprised. Of course don’t pack it in too tight. Give it a stir or two.

A previous LH tip makes water boiling even faster. Instead of that big pan, just cook your pasta in a skillet. Boiling the water in the skillet is ridiculously fast. and the pasta is just the same. Obviously won’t work for a large pasta meal for many people, but pasta for 2 or 3 works great in a skillet. I think the…

Cute, but no substance. Two tips only and one was to fold all your clothes into one bundle, the other to put your underwear in your shoes. There have been much better packing tips on lifehacker.

The 3-outlet tap combined with a 99 cent extension cord always fills the bill. Ever notice when traveling that there are never enough unused receptacles in a motel room. So you move the night stand and unplug the alarm clock just to get a charger plugged in. Or if there is a plug in, it is on the other side of the…

Just returned from seeing the “Mouth of Hell” volcano in Messiah Nicaragua Messiah Volcano
, and lived in a tiny mountain village near the Honduran border at 3800’ for 4 days with a medical mission team. About to leave for another trip to a Central American jungle river to deliver water filters to several families.…

The biggest splurge of my life was taking my young teens on international trips. Best decision of my and maybe their lives. In a big turn-around, they became great students and they have grown into very successful adults.

Simply stated all this says is that happiness depends on circumstances, and maybe expectations for some people.

Great idea and great links: Off to the store to buy a big batch of onions. Think I’ll try the slow cooker method, plus try a small sample using the fast (10 minute) method on one of the links. Love my onions...

Guess I carried a notebook for over 20 years. Got me thru lots of opportunities and problems, and saved me lots of times. However, now it’s the Samsung note 4 always with me. I still take lots of hand written notes, sketches, etc, but now it’s with the stylus and “note pad”. Can incorporate a photo, video or recording…

What doesn’t kill you just makes you stronger... Seriously, if you have a weak immune system you probably need to stay away from any enclosed space where there are people. For most of us, we have adapted immunity systems to handle it. Having grown up on a livestock farm, I never get sick or worry about normal day to…

And we know that 50% of all who have consumed it are below average too.

3-2-1 cake in a mug takes less than 2 minutes from start to ready to eat. May not be as good as cheesecake, but is pretty good and much easier and quicker. Think I’ll have one right now.

Sure a lawyer can help, but at a high cost. Follow your first inclination and hire a professional auctioneer. He has been thru this many times and knows the laws. IF any of the guns are illegal, he will properly handle them for you. His reputation and business depends on it. Look up an auctioneer that has a CAI…

You can cover most of these with a great hobby. Build a boat, or an airplane, or a solar panel or nice furniture or something and record your progress. Confidence, skills, design, new vocabulary, research, collaboration, sharing and much more. Lots of self improvement and maybe create something that improves your part…

Great idea! However my huge tomato plants this year would overwhelm this and just fall to ground. Maybe use a 5th stand on top to create more height? And I probably should prune the vines more also.

Wait, You do understand I’m Christian, not Muslim right?

Yes, I meant every word. But I am truly sorry if you are offended.

This is the Buck Extract knife/multitool that I have carried everyday for about 5 years. Blade and every tool locks in position. Blade and every tool opens with one hand. I literally use it every day, saving lots of trips to go get a tool. Once had a problem with pliers, and Buck replaced it AND gave me a coupon for…

Thanks,
