As a Global Entry member, I absolutely appreciate how fast you get back in the country. No lines, and through immigration and customs in less than 5 minutes (most of that is walking from the kiosk to the exit).

That makes sense. But you can't fight the man! :-)

Completely serious. I still have a plant at my desk (some sort of bonsai). No one has ever said anything to me and I've had it for three years.

Plants are banned! They could release spores that could cause someone to have an allergic reaction and die.

Also, get your pet microchipped and keep the registration up to date. This may cost you $15 or so a year, but it is completely worth it. The service I use (Home Again) even sends you a pet ID card with your pet's photo, name, DOB, breed, color, etc., and includes your name, address, and a phone number (in the case…

Number 7 is unethical, in my opinion. As for using Amazon Smile, that's a great idea and it's even better when you start at iGive.com. Set up your favorite charity at both and the donations stack.

I don't have a spare USB keyboard and mouse laying around because I use nothing more than a notebook computer and a laptop. But, I just bought a Raspberry Pi because I'm interested in playing with it and learning how to do things. The utility I will get from it is knowledge in something new, new skills, more…

So happy about the TouchID piece. Typing that massive password on the tiny keyboard was getting annoying!

Should probably have a doctor look at that...

When I looked at the first pic, the thing that popped into my head was "Volvo".

And bear in mind that people usually introduce themselves how they prefer to be addressed. If someone says their name is Charles, don't call them Chuck unless they've told you that's ok. You may think this is petty, but it is THEIR name, so THEY get to decide what you call them.

This mindset is remarkably freeing.

What someone else thinks of me is none of my business.

Unless there's also some sort of contraption that monitors everyone in the vehicle and if they're about to die it ejects them from the car.

Someone could have a stroke or heart attack and die from it in the Volvo.

My 2000 Altima GLE has them, and I have to say they've proven quite helpful over the past 14 years.

I tried to get a rate quote for Auto and Renter's insurance through Costco's partner. I went through the entire process and the resulting quote was in British Pounds instead of US Dollars. I e-mailed them to see what was going on and the response was basically "yeah, that happens sometimes. It have you the GBP…

You don't even have to start downloading it. I touched "Install" then when it asked for my password, tapped "cancel" and can now see my messages in the Facebook app.

"...till they roll out a fix..." is driving me crazy.

Fulton County's website says any car before model year 1986 can be registered with a bill of sale.
