I use Evernote to capture recipes, make up my meal plan, then build a grocery list with GroceryIQ. Not as efficient in some ways, but I have tons of recipes, and Evernote offers more flexibility. I've set up a 'recipe' folder, and a 'menu' folder. You can run through the recipes, or search all for a particular…

I have a question about my current path. At present, I'm technically a paralegal, but in reality I deal more all the IT/software-related issues at the firm, and build massive spreadsheets. It's mind-numbing. So, I've started back to school for CS, with a desire to get into web application development (productivity…

As much as I adore my Magic Trackpad, I can't do without the mouse. Excel and Sketchup are absolutely unwieldy with just the trackpad - I HAVE to use the mouse for full functionality. That being said, I keep the both on my desk, and am trying to phase away from the rodent and towards the magic.

Check with your insurance company, you may have access to a gym, health center, nutritionist, weight loss specialist, etc. I'd definitely look into another doc - he needs to be actively working with you, not just offering vague directives. Walking is a great start, and a pedometer will help you get an idea of how…

Regardless of his alternate identity, I've been wondering since last week's ending and some dialogue if he was the one that 'found' Emma as a baby. Wasn't it supposed to have been a 7 year old that found her?

Well, I suppose if I can drive in torrential downpours and the occasional hurricane, I could figure it out:)

Why would you want your food folded? Do you only eat burritos and omelets?

While I hate the meltingly hot summers, fear of driving in ice and snow has trapped me in the F-state.

This makes me wonder if there are any beneficial viruses (as there are with bacteria) that would be destroyed.

Any suggestions or comments on long-distance trips with a small dog? I'm considering some solo trips in the near future, and debated taking the dog. How much of a pain is it to travel by plane with pet? International travel? Hotel stays and train travel in Europe? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Any suggestions for Java? Tutorials, exercises, projects, etc. The New Boston is great for explaining, but I'd really like something to solidify my knowledge. I finished a class, but want to practice over the holiday break.

I have a super busy schedule, so I force myself to take time and stock up on some basics, so I always have something in the freezer. If you make up large quantities of the basic recipe building blocks, you can pull together a healthy meal quickly and (almost) painlessly. Current favorites: bulk breakfast burritos,…

Vote: Evernote

yes. this.

Does anyone out there know if training of this sort is tax deductible ala standard college tuition and supplies?

This just renewed my warm, fuzzy feelings towards David and Freema and...the Ood? mind bleach, mind bleach!

I find that a more important question to ask is, WHY have children? Some people have kids for terrible reasons - they do so because their peers are doing so, they want someone to relive their life through, they think it will save a marriage, they want someone to take care of them, they want someone that HAS to love…

@xxdesmus - I must have missed that, sorry. Didn't want to have to sign up via FB or Google without a compelling reason, so I went through the FAQ and pics, didn't see some of the options that I need. Good to know it has a repeat function, how do you feel about the options re: organizing into…

Looks cute, but the lack of repeating tasks makes it a no-go for me.
