@MadFab: LOL you're hilarious

Just duck while going through the egg aisle!

In Chrome, I made my home page URL this:

the watercolour one is so cute. reminds me of a small european town for some reason. very cute.

Wow I didn't know this could be done! I installed a third party menu bar item, but I didn't like the idea of it bulking up the menu bar. This is awesome. Thanks!!

Real life trolls are also lovely. I just publicly embarrass them. It's even better when you remain calm the whole time and outwit them in front of people (be it online or in-person). Sometimes they realize they're wrong and apologize for it (and then ask you to remove the comment you posted that explained how they're…

When I was just getting into photography, I'd bring my DSLR camera with me everywhere, especially when traveling, which involved going into restaurants (to take pictures of the yummy food). I noticed a better experience when I had a camera. Often people would comment asking me if I was a food blogger. I'd say no and…

OH I see what you mean now. If you press cmd+tab then you press cmd+` it'll go backwards... What you're saying makes sense. I didn't know about that. Thanks, that helps a little... except that it goes to the next window and I don't get to choose. Windows is great for that... I've installed the preference pane tool…

yeah that just goes backwards though.... still the same system: through applications, as opposed to individual windows. i.e. i may have 3 documents in Pages and want to see them when i press cmd+tab/cmd+` but it doesn't show me each individually, and only shows me "Pages." i then have to go to one of my hot corners to…

Paying with cash instead?

I smoked for about 3 years. I was going through a stressful point in life and developed anxiety attacks. I was told by the doctor to eliminate all sorts of stimulants. I know during that time I was smoking heavily and drinking lots of coffee with sweetener. I cut all that stuff out of my life out of fear that I'd die.…

I agree! Back of the knife. I cringe when I see people scraping the blade to drag chopped stuff off the board... I'm surprised this one isn't common sense.

Avoid cutting yourself when chopping stuff: put your fingers in a semi-fist formation when holding onto veggies to chop them, instead of fully extending your fingers. That way the knife is forced to brush up against your knuckles (assuming you're using the knife properly and not lifting it too high off the wooden…

There are good and honest people in this world who would return your Mac. I use Onyx for this as well. It's awesome and gets the job done. Don't use apostrophes though, because it'll put slashes in front of them in the login window.

Wow that house looks awesome. Great view. With a house like that I'm confused as to why that person has a computer like that...

I totally thought that tab-closing was in the real world... I was wondering what could be more effective than "I'd like to close my tab"!

So pretty!! :o) Spring has sprung!

Wow, I'm so glad I'm not American! Nothing crazy like that up in the great north! My worst experience was with Scotiabank in Canada where I had extremely rude, crappy customer service. I closed my account with them, which they gladly did, acting like they didn't value me as a customer. Banking with BMO I get good…

If you complain honestly, sincerely and publicly, you're more likely to get some attention. Writing reviews on Yelp is a good way, for example. I scored a free pizza once from a local pizza place. Different companies have issued me credits for being inconvenienced as well. I mainly write in my comments through a main…

In Canada, a great credit card is the MBNA SmartCash card. You get 1% cashback on all purchases and 3% on gas and most grocery stores. For the first 6 months, you get a promotional rate of 3% and 5%. They mail out a cheque once you hit the $50 cashback mark.
