I fear there are not many prairie dwellers who read Lifehacker, but I could be wrong. There is always hope. But rest assured, where there is dinner and where there are invites, I will be there! I'll even bring my own laundered t-towels with me, so even that part will be taken care of. The host's linen closet…

Let's see... If you're a spider hiding around here somewhere, then we're roomies!! Just so you know though.... don't try to put up anymore websites around here! :)

I killed a lawnmower once. It felt good. Lawnmower man thought I was going to kill him, too.

hmmm.... Skype Cooking Adventures. I like the notion. Just that I hear Skype is having new teething issues. I was reading some really loving comments on a Skype forum. the tenderness of feeling there, you would not believe. :)

GG!!! Yes!!! Absolutely!!! Deal!!

I can't speak with any authority on this one, but oftentimes, it's because somebody clicked 'ok'. :)

Believe me, I will keep up with her, or I will die trying. :)

I have to ask. Do you like to read dark grim poetry? Have you ever resented birds for singing early in the morning when you were trying to sleep? Do you have a strange hatred for lawnmowers? All these things describe me.

thanks. really I think she's lovely. her voice. her delivery. all nice.

Congrats! May I have a brandy please?

I haven't looked yet, but have you checked the advanced options for the Power Saver plan?

There are some suggestions in the following hate-filled thread at the Skype forums,

I don't know what this says for me, but I would buy Win8, just to please her. :)

sadly, I'm out here on the Prairies in Canada. I'm probably too far away from Lifehacker's best cooks. But I'll not give up. I'll thumb rides if I have to. I'll seduce all the female border guards! I will make it to dinner! I promise!

Often, I buy those things called pizza pockets or pouches or bundles. They are probably no better for me than the stuff at McDonalds, but at least I can't fail at heating them up.

Excellent!!! Thank you! I really feel that it's best to leave the specialties to the pros. So you're it! In many areas of life, I suck. I excel elswherre, but for cooking, I'm no damn good.

GG! You're doing better than I am. I swear on a million holy books,that I would fkkk up even a 5minute-or- less cooking project. Without strict supervision, I'll turn a kitchen into a fkkking pile of hurt.

Oh I wish. I was reading that article, and the hopeless ratio went up for me, for each time the author said how I could do it, how easy it is, or words to that effect. And then when that master chef was quoted, I *knew* I was finished.

I'm making an offer I've made here before.

I can't think of anything that has really saved my ass in a huge way. I *can* name an app that keeps me from needing my ass saved too often. It's just a little 1to1 backup program called Mirror.
