I've had flights cancelled/indefinitely delayed a couple of times recently. To avoid waiting in line, provided I'm already inside security, I try to find a gate agent at another, nearby gate who can help me. Obviously don't interrupt if they're trying to board another flight. Either find a gate agent behind a counter…

I've had the experience where the same product had different prices (on the signs) in different locations in the store. I think the last time it happened was with soda. The sign on the soda on the end cap was like 4 for $5.88 or something (totally making up the numbers). The sign in the aisle was for one item. The…

Less than $3 if you get the ones with the black handles (more for some of the other colors).

I have two of those clotheslines. They are great to travel with, especially since you don't need clothes pins.

For washing in a hotel sink, I've found that Dawn dish detergent (the cheap blue stuff) works great. (Also what environmental groups use to clean animals after oil spills.) To help clothes dry quicker, I…

I had patellofemoral a few years back. My PT and orthopedist determined it was partially due to a weak vastus medialis obliquus (VMO). To correct it I had to have surgery. To keep it from coming back, I do exercises similar to #1 & #9 here. http://www.theinjuredknee.com/knee-injury-pr…

A bunch of years ago I was on a mission trip with a bunch of youth when I got a call that one of my cubemates had died (cancer, we knew it was coming but it was a sooner than expected). One of the high school boys came up to me later that day, gave me a hug and said he was sorry to hear about my friend dying. Of all…

Took me less than five minutes.

Yeah, I think a lot of it is the difference between inbound and outbound filterers.

I've been doing this for years. I pick out my clothes and hang them at the front of my closet, pack my gym bag, pack my work bag, pack my lunch. I even set out the dishes I'll use for breakfast. Greatly cuts down on my time required to get ready in the morning and means I'm less prone to forget things.

When I was doing leg exercises when recovering from knee surgery I made myself a little counter with an old shoe lace and some beads. I put the beads in groups of five, separated with knots, with enough space thatI could slide the beads around a bit. I would slide a bead from one side to the other as I did each rep.…

Noooo!!! Don't tell people about this. You're all gonna ruin my chances of getting free meals and the adoration of many, many people.

And that's a problem 'cause why?

What works best for me is writing everything out before I go to the doctor.

#3. I have had almost no luck asking for directions in gas stations. Most gas station attendants are incredibly unhelpful in my experience. I've had better luck asking at hotels or, if you can find one a police or fire station. Police and fire stations KNOW the area they are in and can probably give you exact…

What would you recommend for someone looking for a tablet with 3G that will basically function as a smart phone with only the data plan?

I've found that I actually do best weighing myself every day. I do it first thing in the morning, which helps alleviate some of the fluctuations. I do see fluctuations from day-to-day and particularly at certain times of the month (woo-hoo! for being female). But being confronted by that number and having a general…

I actually prefer a corded drill for most tasks. I like the power and appreciate the lighter weight, especially when working above my head. My arms just get tired using the big, power drills.

Acne cleaning pads (like Stridex or Clearasil) are great at getting marker off skin.

Mr Clean Stain Erasers (or other brands probably work too). Takes a bit of scrubbing, but much less than with other products.
