@Prostate of Grace: I agree with you on one hand, but on the other I have to disagree. I use smileys and other emoticons regularly to imply that my short comment isn't meant to be taken as a brusque response, but as a quick, friendly reply.

@adhir: It's like the sarcasm modifier, just easier to type.

In cases of work email, I always insert a :) to ensure that they understand I'm speaking more or less informally.

@rebeldevil: Most of those phones probably would've cracked if they'd fallen off a counter onto a tile floor. We had an old phone that had weathered all sorts of things, but it took a tumble off the bed in my dorm room and cracked open. I was sad.

@zads: Naw, mix it with THIS, and you win 2 million internets:

@RobNYC: We had a dial phone that could switch from pulse to touch-tones. My kindergarten class, however, had big heavy rotary phones in our "house"

@Perk-i: It looks like it uses plugs already existent on the line, no cutting necessary.

I usually wear most pairs of pants (especially my nice work slacks that see little to no "wear and tear") twice before washing them. If I'm low on clothes I'll wear them up to 4 times, but after that I have to wash them.

@Jeb_Hoge: Nice to know for future reference :)

Great for biscuits in the morning; I use it to cook the mini meat loaves I make for lunches; It's pretty much good for anything that fits. Small pizzas, small snacks that need to be baked, french fries, etc.

Any suggestions for Android users?

@Kivrin: Keurig tea always comes out weak :( how do you get it to work correctly?

"younger consumers who don't have time to brew tea in the traditional way."

@Platypus Man: You know how soap works right? It does nothing to get you "cleaner" it basically just makes the process faster by making the water "wetter" which makes it more effective at grabbing other molecules and taking them away. If you scrub and use hot water you get just as clean. You might not smell like…

@The5thElephant: There was a show on Netflix called "the science of attraction" or something like that and they proved that women actually LIKE the smell of some men over others, even if its just sweat. And that men like the natural smell of women, too.

@SynthOno: @PortableGoogle: Chemically, the only thing soap accomplishes is making the cleaning process faster by softening the water and making it "wetter". If you use hot water, and some manual labor you'll get just as clean and your skin will thank you for not polluting it with chemicals and washing away the stuff…

@jackburnt: It may take longer, but hot water and a good scrub will get it done eventually.

If I weren't renting I'd put one in my kitchen. Sadly in need of something in the middle.

@tw@t: My boyfriend smells just fine if he doesn't use soap but has just bathed. He also smells nice fresh from the gym.

@CaptainJack: Soap is "natural" technically yes, even though it must be manufactured from LYE... but Sodium Laureth Sulfate (the chief ingredient in most any soap these days) is pretty much manufactured.
