Nope. You can block OTHER people's comments and likes from showing up in your feed, but you can't stop others from seeing yours at all. Facebook actually says in its own FAQ (https://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=171783462899295) about it: "If you aren't comfortable with who can see the post, please don't comment on it…

You can unsubscribe from your friends' comments and likes. Hover over their name or go to their profile, go to the "Friends" menu (where you choose what list to put them on) and click "Settings," then UNcheck "Comments and Likes" under "What types of updates?" You have to do it individually for each friend but it…

I run a regular call where people participate from our various offices across the country, not so much out of their homes. So they're on a phone system with hold music. One time before we had access to a system where I could mute people individually, one of our reps was started taking calls on the other line and…

For larger calls (20+ participants) it's super helpful if the call has one person there in a mostly technical or "hosting" capacity. I run a monthly call for my boss and I'm so glad we use a service (GoToMeeting) where I can just watch the screen, see who's talking or making noise, and mute the person individually…

I wouldn't call that heart-breaking so much as the creepiest thing I have seen in years. The overly cheery music provides just the right amount of cognitive dissonance to reeeeally give me the heebie-jeebies. Thanks for that.

Ditto. I take Vitamin D (because my levels are always low, according to the test my doctor does, which apparently could be inaccurate), but not calcium (because my levels are always on the very high side of normal and I saw my dad go through kidney stone hell; no thank you.)

Here's the biggest problem I'm having with the hover/mouse-over method: I want to see comments beyond the 9 icons shown. So I click the double-arrow icon, and then I can scroll and preview all the replies (the first 100 characters or so). I see a reply about halfway down that's interesting, and click on it, and read…

Well, if I have to "count on my fingers" I do it the North American way, but as a musician I actually prefer to tap my fingers on the desk like playing the piano, right hand only, starting with my thumb. Keep track of 5's or 10's on my left hand depending how high I need to go.

Miss Manners often talks about the best way to get someone out of your house after a dinner party or other gathering. You stand up and announce, "Well, it was really lovely having you here tonight. Let me get your coats for you, and make sure you take your dish. Do be careful driving home!" Even if they haven't picked…

I just think it's good that they didn't announce this until after she was born and confirmed to be doing well. It's always nice to get the story AND the follow-up at the same time.

You may have nailed the interview, but you were an asshole to the receptionist, who gets asked her opinion of every candidate. Learn some basic manners, dude.

"a Facebook representative says the edit ability is live for a number of users now and will be rolling out to everyone over the next few days."

S1 of Alias couldn't possibly have been the first time the "Mom?!" trope was used, but it was certainly the the best and most unexpected in recent memory.

I have a lego iPhone case and it gets commented on by EVERY SINGLE bartender and waiter that has seen it (that's, umm, quite a lot..) not to mention random people noticing it in waiting rooms, cashiers, at parties, etc. I can't imagine how many people would squeal over this purse.

"Unsubscribe from Comments and Likes by person." I have done this to EVERY ONE of my friends, and at least once or twice a day Facebook loses this setting for a couple friends. There are several that I've had to do it for MANY times. I don't care about people's comments on my non-friend's statuses (that's why the 3rd…

It comes with a "stylus cartridge" to play it, anyway.

You can put a phone number in your "About Me" section for friend-rolodex uses, but unless you "verify" it or register it for text messaging, it won't count for account security purposes, and they'll keep bugging you about it. I don't mind putting my number in there for my friends at all, but would rather not let FB…

The only reason I think this sucks is because I like the way holidays and certain dates (ie my birthday, anniversary, etc.) fall on different days of the week every year. Who wants to have their birthday on Tuesday for the rest of their life? Yeah, you have a party the weekend before or after, but it's nice to be able…

Here's a similar method that doesn't involve closing one eye at a time: make a triangle with your hands, hold them with your arms completely extended, and with both eyes open look at an object. Slowly bring your hands closer and closer to your face, keeping the object in the triangle. When your hands get all the way…

"Hanging up the phone" is pretty outdated, too.
