Or maybe putting a coupon matching website in your feed reader. I like Living Rich with Coupons, but there are tons. You can use something like feedsifter to just send through the stores you actually shop at. At a store that doubles coupons, I got free sour cream and Toblerone bars in the last couple weeks!

I didn't know him all that well, but the velociraptor impression stuck with me.

I'd really like something that's like type skill one in this box right here, and type software familiarity one right here, and in the end it spits out a resume.

How about buying an electric blanket and putting a spaceheater on a timer to kick on in the morning? You get to go to sleep warm, wake up warm, and you'll only know the ambient nighttime temperature is frigid when you get up to pee. How about also doing a quick check to see whether you can get home internet any…

The external hard drive for my Mac won't mount the next time if I don't eject it. Furthermore, I recently discovered that I went to summer camp with Randy from xkcd. Aren't I special?

Does anyone know of a simple, general (free) resume builder interface or template? The Word template I've used in the past is completely horrible.

I haven't done any kind of major transition, but for general frugality, having something to look forward to works for me (ex. if I pack lunch every day this week, I get a new kitchen gadget on Friday). If I look forward to ordering something, order it, and then wait for it, it feels like more spending than it actually…

That's pretty smart. Never thought of plastic wrap.

interesting. . . like, baking soda?

The videos on cooking from frozen and rescuing an undercooked turkey were good, but I think this is total BS. I've tried to rescue dried-out meat with liquid or fat- by the time it's dry, the protein is seized up, and it won't absorb anything. Slow roasting forever! Viva la revolucion!

interesting!

Weird that I don't, because that's exactly what I do when I'm sleeping and a human kisses me. On further reflection, the dog might just be nudging at my hand or something when I'm sleeping. Or maybe my spidey sense wakes me up before the kisses.

erm, should I ask what happened to the spaniel?

Get a dog! It's almost impossible not to be in a good mood when you wake up to a nose nudge or puppy kisses, and a wagging tail seems to imply that the day has great things in store.

One thing that's drastically decreased my turkey-related stress is the discovery of slow roasting. In a hot oven, if you cook your turkey to over 165 degrees, it's going to be a dried out mess. However, if you turn the oven down to 250 degrees when the bird temperature approaches done (say, internal temperature 120)…

amen.

It did seem . . . similar :-)

Exactly. And if a used bookcase sells for 50 bucks on Craigslist, that probably means you can buy a used bookcase for 50 bucks on Craigslist in two years, if you decide you want one. It's like free storage.

I'd probably qualify that as 'can't help it'. It isn't realistic to ask someone to abandon his cuisine. I absolutely despise the smell of a person who's metabolizing raw onion. Their breath and even their skin smells to me like putrid meat for about 24 hours. But, I recognize that I have to suck it up. Some Arabic…
