If the email is to someone I've worked with long enough to consider them a friend, then yes, I use it, but only in light emails. If the email contains heavy material, I wouldn't use them.

Our garage door has a metal stabilizing beam that goes across the bottom of it Not good for the hatchback on the minivan to open into. So I got two lengths of pipe insulation that had some adhesive on it, cleaned off the metal so it would stick, and put the lengths on the metal beam. Now when the hatchback does…

Ad block plus. I am often shocked at how some of my favorite sites look on other people's computers.

I just called Time Warner Cable a few days ago. I get Internet and cable from them for about $155 a month after taxes and fess. Add in Vonage, at $25 a month after taxes and fees for 500 minutes a month, and I'm at about $180 a month for the three. Verizon is offering more channels, higher Internet speed, and…

The first two suggestions you give require that your friends be ON Google+, but the article title is "What Good is Google+ If My Friends Don’t Use It?". If your friends don't use it, you can't use your first two suggestions.

That's a good point I hadn't thought of—I don't have a humidifier on my CPAP.

Kinda like the gas prices!

I use my CPAP in a pinch. It doesn't get the mattress as firm as some other methods, but it will work well enough to get you a full night's sleep.

Nope. Did my "Black Friday" shopping online, Thanksgiving morning.

Collar Stays: My dad used to cut up his old credit cards into collar stays.

It's not "Brown-bag your lunch." It's "if you already are brown-bagging your lunch, and you have a bunch of Apple Store bags around, you can use them as lunch bags instead of brown-bags."

I'll start the thread here. I'll take anyone's hand-me-down iPhone from AT&T. I won't even have to be your spouse, or your friend. :)

Unwanted Porn? What's that?

I would have totally gotten up and walked away, timgray, but in this one case, I couldn't. I had driven 2 1/2 hours to get to the dealership, and arrived an hour before they closed. I had called a few times that week for to arrange the car that I wanted to be on their lot. If I was going to get up, I wasn't going…

I think it's a matter of familiarity, and professionalism. I'm a computer consultant, so I'm always interacting with a new group of co-workers. When I start out, I have to remain professional at all times—no swearing. After a while, I get to know the folks there, and know what they want their work environment to…

Just bought a new to me car, and wanted $1000 for my trade. He offered me $800, and I told him I really wanted $1000. The sales guy stood firm on the $800, so I called my wife. She told me that I should have asked for $1200 or $1500 so they would come up to $1000, but now that I've told them I want $1000, they won't…

But I like my weekends boring!

Unfortunately, as a computer consultant, my employer wouldn't foot the bill, and my client wouldn't do it. I'm stuck in my house, I guess.

What about weekly status meetings, or virtual meetings? I think you're right for a good amount of meetings, but for meetings that happen all the time, or in more than one place, it won't work.

I've had to apply scar cream to my face for a few weeks now. [www.webcam-mirror.com] helps me a lot with that. Not exactly on topic, I know, but someone else might get some use out of it.
