Yep. No matter how crappy things have gotten, the thought of dating again scares the crap out of me.

That’s sad. I still consider myself an amateur, but of the 6 times I’ve done it, I saved 4 lives. The other two were motorcyclists who hadn’t been wearing helmets, so not my fault.

You’re right. You’ll have the same effect with the commercial brighteners that they used at the factory for a lot of clothes though. YMMV

I did this when traveling in Eastern Europe, and it came in handy. My only mistake is that I actually really liked that wallet and haven’t been able to find the same one again. Should have used a crappy one for the decoy.

Pro tip: There’s this stuff called bluing that essentially dyes whites white again. Bleach will make most white stuff turn greyish.

The worst kitchen injury I’ve ever had was when one of the holders fell apart on me.

Pro tip: If your chips do go stale, put them in the oven at 400 degrees for a few minutes and they’ll crisp right up.

This is exactly how I seal chip bags now that we have a FoodSaver. It has the added benefit of being a slight deterrent to going back for seconds, and or just snacking directly out of the bag (until it’s gone.)

Just learn to say no. It’s incredibly liberating.

My wife was like this with both our kids. I was in position ready to catch while still trying to keep pressure on her knees (helps with the pain.) She was at that point where she was ready to give up, and I said, “Give me your hand.” Then when I put her hand on the baby’s head she got super giddy, found her second…

Pre-children, we had one of the original Roomba’s and loved it.

Now, I’m afraid that if I bring one home it will go on a gluttonous rampage of the dining room and die a horrible, engorged death.

I feel like I’ve been lied to . . .

Interesting. That’s exactly when we flew with Southwest. It was technically still the holidays, so maybe the stewardesses were stressed and in a bad mood.

Based on how hard MS is trying to shove Win10 down everyone’s throats, I’d be extremely surprised if they didn’t extend the free install period.

That’s nice of JetBlue to still do that. The last couple times I flew, I was told that they don’t do that anymore.

For reference that was Southwest and Delta.

The only way I can see this being a good idea is if you lined up a dozen or so bananas then used a cutting board or cookie sheet to mush them all at once.

Even then, someone with even mediocre knife skills could probably do it faster.

I wove a bacon blanket for my Thanksgiving turkey 2 years ago before putting it in the oven. It was amazing.

Proper application of mayo also prevents the sogginess problem.

Pro tip: If just salt gets old, try Cajun seasoning.

For what it’s worth, I’ve never done this and my 10 year old fire extinguisher worked just fine for an impromptu test by my 3yo.
