I’ve bought a couple of pairs of the for life shoes. You have to register them, hence why I’ve bought a couple as I didn’t register the first pair. They aren’t as comfortable as the other models. I had a break in period with both pairs that caused a blister on one heel. After they are broken in they are fine.

I just bought my second house after being a renter for about eight years.

Most large companies managers are limited by policy what they can say about previous employees, normally limited to start date, end date, job title, and salary verification. I worked for a couple of companies that used The Work Number (https://www.theworknumber.com/) for employment and income verification.

Just a quick tip for those looking. Upload your resume every Sunday evening, even if you don’t change anything. This resets your “new resume” flag and anyone pulling resumes will get yours as a fresh resume.

While I’m sure that it can save you money, it won’t be saving you time. Saving $10 isn’t worth it to me if I have to go to two or more stores to do it. Figure your non-work time is worth your 1.5 times your work rate. So if you make $10 an hour your off time is worth $15. If it takes you an hour to save $10 you’re $5…

The third one is where the problems start. you can put a window in the middle and drag the top of the title bar to the top so it stretches top to bottom, but working with more than a left and right isn’t easy. You have the same issues if you want to split a screen on a dual monitor setup. You can use the outside…

How do I know the quality of the work I will receive? I don’t mind paying for a job well done, but if I end up having to redo the work myself I’ve wasted my money.

At work these might be okay, but I’m getting older and need them to be larger. At work I use a pair of 24” monitors each set to 1920 x 1080 and that’s fine for work. At home I use three 22” monitors set to 1920 x 1080.

Is there any good way to “dock” windows in Windows when you have one giant monitor?

The device you’re looking for is a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch. You’re going to end up putting a bit of money, more than $200, into it if you’re talking high resolution or multiple DVI connected monitors.

Sorry, I have issues providing the information to access my account to a third party. Especially when all I have is their word for how the security works. This isn't like Pay Pal where you are sent from the site you are making the purchase to Pay Pal to process the purchase. There is nothing stopping them from…

I'm a fan of gas cooking. The main reason is you can see how much heat you have turned on. I've been cooking on electric for the past six years as I've been an apartment dweller and that is the main feature I miss. Every time you get a different stove you have to "re-learn" what the different settings actually mean…

Being in debt is like being in a hole. When you're in a hole the first thing you need to do is stop digging. Odds are if you have an emergency fund you probably also have your debt in check. Cutting back on your discretionary spending will be your main focus. Less eating out and more home cooking. Netflix instead…

I think it is more helpful to A) have a plan for the things you buy and B) put those items in plain site. I know if I put something in a crisper drawer it will rot unless I have a plan for it. For me this isn't that difficult since it is just my wife and myself, larger families may have issues.

I took Gretchen's quiz only because each part fits a little. I came out as an Upholder. I know what causes me to do and not do things. I won't exercise on my own, but if I commit to playing a sport I will be there every week, whether or not I feel like going. Knowing I won't formally exercise I take the stairs…

These days new games can be great...after the patch. I've been gaming for a really long time. Most of the games I buy are games that I bought previously, but have since thrown away prior to one of my moves. This isn't a bad thing. I know that I wouldn't take the time to get a Windows 98 game running on Windows 8. …

Getting out of debt is about having a plan and focusing. Make a plan that works for you. I recommend getting rid of one debt at a time and once that debt is gone use the money that you were putting towards it to the next debt. So, if you have four credit cards, $5,000, $4,000, $1,000, and $500 pay off one. I'm a…

A generalist knows a little about everything. A specialist knows everything about nothing.

Security is not something that can be declared, it must be proven over time. Any application that has not been shown to be insecure is not automatically secure. There is nothing to say that today's "secure" application may not be tomorrow's "biggest security hole". With that information you should look for a…

What makes this possible is that I go in with an agenda.
