It does actually work and doesn't soak into the paint. I used it when my kids were adding their artwork to the walls and we're all still here to tell the tale. :)

Allowing people who've been told that the world is just the way the patriarchs say it is, to see that there are plenty of other options out there, has always been a dangerous thing for inflexible systems.

This might work on walls painted with gloss paint. With flat or semigloss you're just trading one problem for another, as the grease in the mayonnaise gets sucked into the paint.

The display on my FitBit is nearly dark, so I have to rely on the web site to give me the information because I can't afford to buy a new one yet. This looks like it'd be well worth trying.

Ew.

First the script kiddies will try to get you to fix a house-wide outage by removing the NIC in your computer, and they will hang up on you if you won't do it. The Twitter crew are the only ones who know what they're talking about, and of course if your internet is down, getting to Twitter means you better hope your…

Twitter followers are welcome. I don't always have time to read everyone's tweets, but I try to keep up as best I can. :)

Yuck. Just buy real maple syrup at Trader Joe's or order it from Vermont Country Store. A little real maple goes a LOT farther than that ghastly imitation stuff.

Of course, if you call Charter and tell them your internet service is down, the first thing they do is have you unplug and re-plug the modem and router.

Thank you! I'm not sure how much longer I'll be commenting, since I won't be converting my account. I don't link my Twitter or FB accounts to anything, and I've got enough questions about Twitter and FB security to make me doubt the forced linkage will be an improvement.

Yeah, but boy, the endorphin rush when it's all done is something else. :)

Actually, no, most insulin injections don't hurt at all. The needles are very tiny and very short. I was kept overnight for observation in the ER for another problem a few weeks ago and they brought me my insulin in a regular intramuscular syringe and I basically said WTF. It looked like a light saber compared to what…

My parents made the mistake of telling me I was going to get my first polio shot (circa 1956). I remember crying all the way to the doctor's office. After that, they never gave me advance warning.

Insulin injections are done with very tiny, short needles, and the injections are often completely painless whether you're looking or not. However, most of us get in the habit of touching the needle to the intended injection site first. If it hurts, move it somewhere else. Usually only a few millimeters in another…

I've been doing this for quite a while. A teaspoon of Penzeys cinnamon on top of the coffee grounds in an Aeropress makes for a very tasty brew. No sugar necessary.

We have a few bell tumblers left from when the kids were little (and since they're in their 30s now, that's a testiment to Tupperware durability). They're just plastic cups whose rims are wider than their bases, so the whole cup has a bell shape.

The down side to having a living room double as an office, if there are any other people living with you, is that the living room takes precedence and people will feel free to interrupt you all day long. I speak from long, weary, frustrating experience here. If you're sitting there, you're fair game for anyone who…

We just spent a week dismantling, repainting, and rearranging our home office. The new furniture arrangement is much better, the cables are hidden in baseboard trays, the blue-grey paint adds tranquility, and now we each have our own bookshelves instead of having them both on the same wall and filled up with books…
