Thanks to you and the others for clearing that up. Not that peppermint caramel doesn't sound delicious :)

It is suggested that if you're going on a weekend camping tour with your group of all male, heterosexual friends, you give them a heads up that there are condoms in your kit. In an ideal world, it wouldn't make any difference. In the real world, it can save you a beating.

Well, I know some people....

But they can made editorial choices. Not that I have any issue with it, but just because it's the video that was used doesn't man they had to banner the article with it.

What's hard about answering questions as posed instead of fitting the discussion to your standard.

Candy canes can be a bear to unwrap. I suggest doing that part before you get the syrup started. "You'll thank me later."

The image shows butter. Butter is not mentioned here or at the link. What's up with the butter?

The way it was stated makes it come across as a generality that I find to be more often not true. Any kid I would even entertain passing my devices off to is a kid I know well enough to know if they will use it properly or will likely cause me have to buy a new one. FWIW, I've dropped my tablet twice. My daughter…

See this nominations for all the shiny new tablets, but I have to say I'm still loving my

I'm actually proud that I've made some headway with careless friends who I provide tech support to. Just had to alleviate some browser slow downs for them. It wasn't nearly the sad state of affairs it usually is. As this was the first time I was doing support on this particular machine, I was surprised to find they…

I like Splashtop, but as of late, it can never reach a port. This isn't worth the effort for me to deal with when TeamViewer just works whenever I need it to.
