Don’t use hankies. They are breading grounds for germs, he said after getting two colds in two weeks.

Wait, was this in the car or the restaurant? This is kind of sloppily written.

It’s getting all the hype because it’s a movie about Hollywood. I enjoyed it. I especially enjoyed the set and costume design: going from basic primary colors to more complicated ones as the story became my detailed. I thought that Emma’s and Ryan’s acting was good but their singing, just so so.

My daughter goes to a state school and has a kitchen and washer and dryer in her dorm “suite.”

I can’t seem to get to the right page for my info on Whitepages.com It keeps bringing me to a page to pay for premium.

I presently have two children in college. My wife and I were good savers, opening 529 plans for each when they were babies. Well, that took care of the tuition. However, the cost of room and board is outrageous! More expensive than just the tuition (they both go to in-state public universities). I’d like to retire but…

You haven’t been to a dorm lately. My gawd, they are just about luxurious. Kitchens, washer and dryer in the dorm suite!

Luckily, my wife and I agree on this one: we don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. But my wife’s birthday is at the end of January, so I often get a decent deal if I order at the beginning of the year. Well, except for that one year when they sent someone else’s card to my wife: “My dearest Anne...” My wife’s name isn’t…

I’m glad they finally updated it. It never worked right with newer Mac OS’s. I love it. For me, it’s another set of eyes. And as an editor and writer, I can always use those.

I rarely use the overhead bin. But I do use the toilet. They are so small now (United, are you listening? No, I thought not.) a regular size guy like me can’t even do what comes naturally. I am not kidding. Imagine if you are a large person or a parent, traveling with a toddler. And these weren’t short flights. These…

Haven’t we yet learned that information abhors a vacuum? Verified or not. If it’s “out there” it will be published. Instead, it would be nice (okay, imperative) if our society put a greater emphasis on learning critical thinking. That way, when we are presented with unverifiable information, at least we can look at it…

Mnicole, none of us need be anchored to the lives we lived as children. But, it took me many years to understand the details. Sadly, not many people take the time to do so. I wish you well.

Sending healthful, loving thoughts your way.

Very rarely do you get hurricanes in the winter.

Growing up in L.A., that’s all I ever had to do. Minimum in the winter was to put on a jacket. Now that I live in DC, in the winter I have to actually stop and think: what goes on first, then what, and then... First my ID badge, then my scarf, then my jacket, then my earphones, then my backpack. Oh, wait, I forgot my…

As an “older” guy, I forget names all the time. Luckily, my memory is good enough to remember that when I was in my 20s I forgot people’s names.

I just called AmEx and the person saw the offer but said I have to contact Amazon for the code. I’m now “chatting” with Amazon.

When I was going through a very difficult time with a loved one, I spent a lot of time talking with my cousin. When we first started talking he said this to me, “What can I do for you? Would you like me to just listen? Would you like me to respond to what you say? And/or would you like me to tell you about similar…

I have an easy method for converting F to C within a range we usually associate with ambient temperatures. This allows me to do this in my head without pencil and paper or a formula. Here goes:

Happy often masks as clueless.
