Ipad Mini 2, capped out on updates. Last update is slow as molasses. Won’t buy another IOS device. I preferred to us my 2014 MBAir 11" over the ipad.

I usually drink tap. Someone gave me a Sawyer filter for backpacking but I already had one. Decided to have taste test between tap, the new Sawyer and Crystal Gyser bottled water. Tap and Swayer were a drastic difference with the Sawyer tasting better. Swayer vs Crystal Gyser, I liked the CG slightly better. The…

I’ve always cracked them in half and poured the yolk back and forth between the two halves allowing the whites to drain. If for some reason I want to make 100% sure the yolks stay whole, I’ll do as in the video.

I miss Joe. By today’s standards he would be considered an honest straight shooter.

The lease I had for a work car was something like this. Selling price $24,400. No money down, payments were $265/month. Came out to $9540 for 36 months. Lets double it cause I’m gonna lease a similar priced vehicle again. Thats $19080 for 6 years. Now lets say I bought the car no down payment at 3% for 72 months,…

I’m a 50yo and have been using coconut oil on my face, arms, legs and feet for the past 6 months. I put it on before bed after a shower. My complection never looked better, cleared up some blemishes I had and got rid of my cracked heels.  I plan on keep using it.  I will say my sister got a rash when she tried it.

I lived in a rural pocket of Los Angeles. It was hot and my roommate left the front door open. I walked into my bed room and found a bat flying around my running ceiling fan with frequent thuds as the blades hit the bat. I turned off the fan, opened the door to the balcony and flipped on the balcony light to attrack…

I use it on my face, arms and feet.  Works great.  Cleared up some issues on my face and got rid of my rough elbows and rough heels.  I suggested a friend use it and she got a rash.  So try it sparingly at first.

I’ll do it sometimes. Kind of upsets me when people leave trash at park table and the can is like 10 feet away. And now that I’m on a rant. Dog Owners, when your hiking on a trail and your dog poops, I appaud you for picking it up in a doggy bag but you do have to take it with you too. Leaving little plastic bundle of…

I wouldn’t call Fi a bargain. Maybe ok if you don’t use much data but there are better deals.

We were playing host to some German relatives for a week. I was buying highly regarded micro brews for them. 3 days in, my German uncle pulls me aside and asks if I could buy some Budwiser or other common American beer. He said “we like American beers because we can drink them all night, relax and not get drunk.” I…

I was raised by my German grandmother. Nothing worked better than a sudden backpfeife (slap to the cheek). It was never hard enough to make you cry but was hard enough to get your attention and break what ever you were fixated on. Decades later I learned that Ceaser Milan does the same with dogs. In stead of a slap,…

It is time for some serious finger wagging. Someone needs to slap these people and wake them up. Christ, the average car loan is over $30k+, 72+ months and $500+/month. YOU CAN’T AFFORD A NEW CAR! Your underwater because you did not put enough down and pushed the payments out way too far. They are now starting…

Never had a problem cooking eggs. They are easy and fast. As for soft, medium and hard boiled. How hard is it? Put eggs in pot with water, bring to boil, turn off and put lid on. Let sit for 5 min for soft, let sit for 10-12 min for medium and 12-15 hard. I tend to like 11-12 min for my hard eggs, there is just…

Been doing that with Onedrive for a while. Also use to use BTSync and Dropbox.

I was on Sprint fom 2k4-2012. I actually liked them until data started to crawl. LTE with 4 bars was a whoping 128kbps during the day and evenings in my area. Also loved how every CSR had story. Don’t like the answer, hang up and dial again.

Oh great. Now how many people are going to go out and pick poisonious ones and think they are safe? You don’t want to guess with mushrooms. The distinction between a deadly varity and a safe one can be very fine and be easily over looked.

Has it ever. Years back Gerber was selling colored water, sugar and malic acid as apple juice.

I just reach into my emergency jar. I try to keep $1K in it and then use some of it for Christmas. Every night, I open up my wallet and drop any $5 bill I have in my E-jar. The E-jar sure takes a lot of stress off.

Graphing Calculators are a little after my time. I still have and use my HP41CX calculator at got me through high school AP math and college.
