Well, you’re right of course in that it can be done with constant diligence, but my wife is the one who got stuck with them several times and she has had hand surgery on both hands and so has a weaker grip. This means it’s really important to her that the bags aren’t overloaded. And if she wants plastic bags, she’s…

Use them yourself (or give them to a friend) as cushioning for storage, moving day boxes, or mail shipments.

There are a lot of places like zoos that will allow feeding of animals with provided food. My all-time favorite is Jungle Gardens in Sarasota, Florida. You can feed flamingos which is simply awesome, although perhaps intimidating for little kids since they will sometimes crowd you and try to eat right from your hand…

Thankfully I come from a generation after the grease of the fifties but before the hair products of the seventies, so I’ve never used product. I do use a two in one shampoo. And in spite of my wife’s entreaties, I only comb my hair once a day and according to her I almost always miss the back ;)

Thankfully I come from a generation after the grease of the fifties but before the hair products of the seventies,…

It’s funny but I remember when growing up (a half century ago!) that feeding bread to birds was somehow considered a good thing. We’d take bread that was getting stale and go to the park, break it up and toss it out. I guess it might have been more because we had the bread to spare (no pun intended).

Not true. The problem with having alcoholic beverages is that beer, hot temperatures, beach driving and little kids don’t mix. I guess I forgot to mention that most of the beaches of the entire county are open to driving. You only have to visit on a busy weekend with kids and cars everywhere to realize that those…

The article is very good advice and can even save you from getting a fine, at least in Volusia County, Florida. The county is home of Daytona Beach of course, and mile and miles of nice and popular beaches, and they really do enforce the rules about not feeding wildlife, period. It makes the animals dependent on…

For some reason the feed is not letting me give you a star, but that reply my friend is most star worthy!

True, but Kinja has other feeds for those kinds of stories.

Hmm, this article doesn’t seem very Lifehackery.

I know this is going to sound kind of weird, but thankfully her major, and assumed future career goal, wasn’t something athletic or artistic that would now be in jeopardy after these injuries. As an aerospace engineering major these injuries shouldn’t be any sort of setback. And as a lifetime, now retired, aerospace…

I had a relatively mild case of PF and found that an ACE Brand Plantar Fasciitis Sleep Support helped me quite a bit. My pain was worse early in the day and using the support helped my foot stay in the proper position to keep the ligament stretched at night. I think I used it for a month. I have a size fifteen foot…

That’s a very useful trick, thanks for posting about it!

As an almost lifelong Floridian, I feel strangely relieved that some other state is found to be full of wackos.

I don’t live in a city, but I’m ten minutes away from the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, so, you know, rockets ;)

I came across this a few days ago. As you say, there is an easy workaround, although it is harder to find in the dark, in the rain, and with people shooting at you.

Who’s going to vote for a President who’s likely to be impeached in a few months?

Oh, Nikki Haley, just when I thought the Republicans might possibly have an intelligent woman poised for 2020, you have to go do this.

It’s also a sign that the electoral college has whittled our elections down to a few districts in swing states, further making everyone else feel powerless to have an impact in the election and therefore even more burned out by time Election Day is over.

Part of the problem is that sometimes you can’t even avoid the nonsense even if you try. My wife and I are seniors living in Florida which means we are pretty much priority targets for both parties. Last presidential season we’d get several phone calls a day (no matter how much blocking we tried). And the mail would…
