I’ve worked on *an* auto parts store for 14 years, and lost count of how many times I’ve had to explain to people (usually young kids that don’t know any better) that you CANNOT patch brake lines with a regular rubber hose. It’s terrifying to know that people think this will work.

This is why I hate going to hospitals. Like Sheldon state in Big Bang Theory - Why would anyone want to go to a hospital when it’s full of sick people? I understand everyone may need to go to see relatives or friends at some point, or be admitted for some reason, but as few visits as possible would be best.

My wife recently discovered at her last physical that she’s diabetic. Besides the obvious of swapping Mayonnaise with Veganaise and using a different ketchup recipe, does anyone have a similiar recipe that’s friendly to diabetics? I’d like to try it on bean burgers.

I always remember this article - I printed the graphic and posted in my workspace to remind me that everyone needs to take a ‘break day’.

In the same direction, I do the same. Leave the project that’s stymied me, go work on something completely different (usually a fun activity). The only way I can describe the feeling is that a severe distraction causes my brain to leave the frustration item on the back burner to rest, and eventually the solution will…

That is very good point. If you do have a leather interior, I could completely understand why this may not be a good choice. I’m an IT support guy for an assembly line environment, and although I’m at a computer alot, there are so many things we do that range widely in skill and knowledge, I’m also running all over…

I thought it was odd that only one article that I found actually mentioned this, and the author strongly protested this. They mentioned that vinegar doesn’t actually kill the bacteria. I had tried so many DIY options before (vinegar, baking soda, etc.), but none of these would actually deodorize the horrible shoes. I…

I find this true with almost any pair of shoes, especially sneakers. I have encountered the smelly shoe syndrome a few times myself, and despite the many ‘how-to’ articles to rid them of the funk, I only found one article that had effective information. Isopropyl Alcohol must be used first inside the shoes to kill the…

I know, I’m definitely an odd duck. She gets frustrated with me because I organize everything in the cart according to category so that it’s easier to scan and bag. She moves everything around to mess with me.

I’m happy to see that I’m not the only one to have so many interests that I cannot possibly keep up with all of them. That’s why I don’t make promises, either. I love your favorite advice - do what you love, do it often and enjoy yourself. Whether I can do everything or not, I always do as many things as I can that…

Thank you so much for this article. Many people (such as I) need tips like these. I’ve purchase cheap cables before and regretted it soon after. I’ve learned my ‘spend the extra couple of bucks’ lessons the hard way.

Same here. At the grocery store, my wife grabs a bag of grapes and puts them in the cart as-is, without sealing the ZipLog-style sealer. I’m imagining the grapes falling out of the bag, through the cart cage, onto the floor. She know it drives me nuts, but lacks the ambition to do it anyway.

I’ve been around computers and other electronic gizmos since I was probably 10 (29 years ago), so I’m no stranger to technology. Even I can’t stand to be engulfed in the every happenings of everything everywhere. Why do people care when their favorite celebrity is using the toilet, walking their dog, etc. ? Just to be…

Or nifty drinking cups for citrus-y water...less any leaks.

Pretty much every email. I have to spill out everything in my head (as the voices are pushing on it), then re-organize the babble into simple, understandable conversation.

When I first watched Super Size Me and Morgan inserted the added extra on the DVD called “The Smoking Fry”, I bought into the the fact that the McDonalds fries did not change state at all, while everything else decomposed (the mom-n-pop restaurant food in a MUCH quicker fashion). The absence of moisture does explain…

This subject has been covered a handful of times, but I have to mention that the ‘shake’ method has worked for me everytime, ever since I saw this post.

In the past months, I’ve come to terms with the fact that we can make *ANYTHING* in a waffle iron....snacks to complete meals. Next to the coffee devices, this is the only cooking device we need on our kitchen counters. Tasty, yummy goodness. :) *drool*.....

I’ve never had the pleasure of enjoying Bacon Fat Cheese Sauce, but it sounds SOOOO yummy.

Late entry, I know, but I have to add - there is *NEVER* a bad use for bacon fat. For me, bacon grease and mayo make the world go ‘round. :P~
