I’m sorry to hear that, but I hope your cat is feeling better. I’ve had pet insurance for years and never used it. But this year I’ve had humongous vet bills and the premiums have been worth every penny. I know that doesn’t help you now, but for anyone else reading this, it’s a worthwhile investment.

If you set aside the money and don’t use it then I can understand why you feel that way. Years ago you could be reimbursed only if you filled out forms and submitted receipts which probably made some people not bother. But today my account has a Visa card that I use to pay for expenses as I go: eye exam, contacts (a…

I’ve really enjoyed her stories about getting involved in competitive Scrabble and would love to read an entire book about her experiences in that world. I’m sure it’s not high on her list of things to do, but given her “profound inability to say no,” I’ll imagine it as something to look forward to.

I like that there’s a wall and that commerce doesn’t control content. You can read the post — even agree with it — and still want to buy a speaker.

Cheezehound makes an amazing mozzarella. Nothing like Daiya, more like you would expect for a gooey cheese on a pizza. Miyoko’s has an awesome winter truffle and and a farmhouse (similar to a cheddar) that are tasty. For sandwiches, Chao is good, but I recently tried Violife and was really happy.

“The Black female is assaulted in her tender years by all those common forces of nature at the same time that she is caught in the tripartite crossfire of masculine prejudice, white illogical hate and Black lack of power.

It’s always seemed that Apple’s dream goal was to make the Dick Tracy watch a reality. Every iPhone iteration, even going back to the Newton, was just another step towards the watch.

I successfully froze two bureaus. Apparently, a dozen years ago when I was far less vigilant about about finance and security I created a TransUnion account and cannot recall who my best friend was to their satisfaction. At this point it would just be easier to hack them than jump through the necessary hoops to freeze…

I was happy to discover that Spotify has a lot of playlists for white noise, brown noise, pink noise (didn’t know those last two even existed. I was happy and learned something new.)

This is one of the things you *can* do, but shouldn’t do. Please don’t send animals through the mail. People who order backyard chickens can expect the seller to include extra chicks because they know not all of them will survive the trip. And sometimes the ones who do are so banged around they end up maimed.

Ideally, you’re right, but the reality is much different. A straight person wouldn’t think twice about having a photo of a spouse on their desk. Or answering a question about their weekend plans by replying, “My wife and I …” But as a gay man I’m acutely aware that referencing my husband the same way can immediately…

I love using ApplePay, but often merchants have the reader anchored somewhere that requires me to stretch to access it. It’s not a big deal using TouchID, but I wonder how it will work with facial recognition when it’s no longer close to the reader. I’m not climbing over the counter.
