Yes and no.

The part of this that seems critical to me, but which I’ve never heard anyone mention, is that the logic implies that it’s the employer, not the individual, who follows a religious practice.

First, hogwash.

One way to deal with the grief is to find out which of your friends are not yet registered to vote, and get them signed up ASAP. The midterm elections will be here sooner than we think.

You know, before I actually read the piece, I had a similar reaction to the idea.

It was a common term in the military in my day, so that probably spread the term widely, even if it started out regionally.

I don’t know if you could call what we have a “Smart Home” but the features we’ve put in place work well for us.

A lot of people jumping to neurotic and obsessive. And no doubt, for some people, it might be.

So, the software/phone manufacturers are going to issue patches. Great.

When I was single, I noticed that at first, I did most of the contacting, most of the suggesting of things to do, most of the organizing, and so on. I also noticed that somewhere in the first month, I inevitably found myself wondering why things were so one-sided, and then pulled back and played “If they’re really…

Note: I was born in 1960, and my life in the closet included a Navy career even before DADT. When I was born, being gay was criminal nationwide.

I still cut multiple vegetables on a single board, but that way, I can cut up raw meat and drop that board in the sink or dishwasher, grab the next one, and keep…

Honestly, the idea of putting every single ingredient in a separate bowl always struck me as ridiculous. I admit to being a good cook and having no problem with keeping track of multiple dishes cooking at once, so I don’t begrudge anyone whatever works for them.

We bought a Brimnes. It was probably the most complicated IKEA item we’ve assembled, but it’s a storage bed. It took longer and was more unweildy than most, but it’s a storage bed, not an end table.

These days, a LOT of a car’s critical electronics is lower in the car than the interior carpeting. If the interior got flooded, chances are good that important electronics did, too.

Everything we’ve bought does. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to install themselves.

We love our SodaStream. At this price, it’s definitely worth it.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I swear I read recently that the “don’t refrigerate your tomatoes” thing only applies while they are ripening, not once they are fully ripe. We have little control over store-bought, but extending the life of one’s own backyard produce by refrigerating them after they’ve reached…
