Hey now. You can't blame Sam because you chose not to make a REAL contribution to society by becoming a cranky blog writer...and instead went the route of some superfluous whimsical fairy job like being a doctor or a nurse.

Thanks for the advice, all. It was much appreciated.

Cam (via Cesar) is right. Also, be very mindful of the energy level of the dog when they interact. You may need to really manage their time together for the first little while - make sure Jezebel is calm when you allow them to be around each other - dogs & cats speak two entirely different languages and it's easy for…

I'm not.

OK, I've learned to trust the Lifehacker hivemind implicitly...

I save up for big gifts (Christmas, Valentines day, birthday, etc for immediate family/spouses) along with my other "big" annual expenses (motorcycle insurance, car registration renewal, folk fest tickets, etc) throughout the year... I just add up how much you want to spend for each person for every event (along with…

The same todo system I use... /swoon

Anything like this for Firefox? Or a suggestion for a similar home page?

I dated a girl who was (is) Celiac. Meant that I cut out all gluten, all MSG, pre-prepared foods, started reading the ingredients on every label (I was a nice guy, what can I say). Everything we ate was fresh, prepared by us (most of the time), and really delicious.

It would be nice...but I don't think it'll ever happen. Not in Alberta at least. There's a large population here that hates that we have free HEALTHcare, let alone dentalcare.

Haha, I think you really succeeded in disproving your initial statement of it being "simple" :)
