Sure. Dip your pinecone in wax, then into a mix of sawdust and the chemical of your choice (the sawdust is so the wax will catch fire easier). The wax will dry up pretty quickly, and when you burn the pinecone, should still emit the colors just fine. You can also color the wax with crayons, so you know what color…

I would totally watch that.

Crispy is problematic, especially with crappy work microwaves... Basically food gets crispy by heating the outside, whereas microwaves cook from the inside. So you need an outside source of heat to get crispy results.

She just needs a stormtrooper hoodie so she can pretend she's escorting you to lockdown.

Seconded!

As an Android user, I've been using an app called Routinely to help me stay on track with things I need to do. I started using it to remind myself to take my pills on a regular basis (it has reminders, which is great), but realized it could also be a great way to remind myself how long it's been since I last did…

Totally different things. Unless you're a bachelor. In which case, anything cloth will do. Civilized people know that a towel is for drying, though.

Just a little nit-pick here, you might want to reword this little tidbit:

The card is designed to hold:

Or you could store something that doesn't require hands, so you can multitask!

I've always been a fan of the more tactile, soft-feel matte covers. My first flip-phone, a Samsung, was a joy to pick up and hold because it felt so soft. The back of the HTC Hero, although not exactly soft, was metallic without being glossy, and never felt like it would slip out of my hands. And the cover I have…

That one actually addresses the cleaning issue, too, AND is multipurpose! Kudos for the find and for sharing it!

Considering this board is specifically designed for dry items, all you have to do is overturn the cutting board over a garbage disposal or trash can and give it a few good whacks.

Hmm, I've always sweetened my tea with honey, but never considered it for coffee. Would you recommend a light honey, to let the flavors of the coffee shine through unadulterated, or do you think a more flavorful dark honey like buckwheat would complement the richness of the coffee?

A few tips from a massage therapist who hasn't practiced in a few years:

I'm wondering what size press you're using. My French press is a two-person (which I suppose is technically the equivalent of a 4-cup), and I've always steeped it for 4 minutes to a perfect brew. The coffee comes out full-bodied and rich, and I'm not a fan of weak coffees myself.

I would rather spend the <$1 and support the makers of this app, thereby encouraging the developers to keep making and supporting good apps, than download it through some third-party system that cheats the developers of their hard-earned dollar.

I wonder if those heated bag sealers would work with this, too. I used to have a little cheapie one that hung on my fridge for resealing chip bags...

They have Plasti-Dip in a spray can now, you'd probably be able to get a thinner coating with that. I use my spray Plasti-Dip for a ton of things (that I probably shouldn't haha).

Yes, I think that was rather succinctly stated in the article without clicking the link: "Researchers and scientists have different theories on why we eat more in winter."
