The one thing that’s reduced the most food waste for us is to designate one of the shelves as a “leftovers shelf”. Previously, finding leftovers was a complicated game of cat and mouse, with quiche hiding behind the milk, cooked chicken behind the Gatorade bottles, and a container of chili working its way into the…

I put a ring on the top of our hummingbird feeder to keep the ants from getting into the juice. I think I’ve had the same Vaseline on there for 3 years now.

The TikTokers likely didn’t think it through...

This is also important if your state dragged their feet on RealID compliance. In Oregon it’s faster to get a passport than a ReadlID-compliant driver’s license.

Since reading comprehension on the internet is so-so at best, I’m wondering how many people read the title of this post “Should You Really Put a Brick In Your Toilet to Save Water?” and miss in the body that the brick goes in the toilet tank.

I like the rugs that Reagan and W. Bush selected.  They are very similar but I like the oak leaves on the edges of Reagan’s and the color on Bush’s.  Also, Reagan introduced some decent sized plants and I see Clinton had one too.  But, wowza, Clinton’s couches are hideous.

And garlic to get the soap smell off!

I have an Xbox and the thing eats batteries like I eat pie

With respect to ergonomics, I already had an acceptable chair in the home office. The kiddos had no such luck. It occurred to me - I have a really good office chair that I’m not using... back in the office. I went to work and grabbed my company-provided chair for one of the kids.  Then I contacted some co-workers…

The country and the states have completely failed on testing. Who thinks the underfunded schools are going to fare any better? I understand there is significant value to having the kids in schools but many “plans” seem to potentially trade away human life to get them there.

Yep, I got a little over zealous with the red pen.

The top seed from both divisions conferences will have a bye the first week of the playoffs...

Where have you been? I thought this was debunked in March, then April, then May, and by that point they thought everybody had gotten the message. Well not everyone.

Kkkkkrrrrrrr... you seem to be breaking up.
