You should not snoop, but you should watch. The difference being that snooping implies that you are hiding what you are doing from your kids. Of course you shouldn't let your kids have free reign to do whatever they want, but if you are going to be tracking what your kids are doing, you should be up front with them…

This place is about 5 minutes from where I work. I am tempted to go by and see if I can find a blue Lexus parked on the street. If I do, I'm going to take a dump not only on the Lexus, but on the front steps of the house it is across from. Everyone involved in this whole thing is an asshole.

I have a very simple rule on what I will do for a woman as far as "chivalry". If I wouldn't do it for a guy, I won't do it for a woman. I'll hold the door for a woman, just like I would a man. I won't pull out her chair or open her car door, because I wouldn't do the same thing for a man. It's a simple way to…

My main concern is who is profiting from my usage of the card. I have a number of rewards cards (better rewards in different areas) and I use them whenever I am at large retailers. This way, I get something back out of the transaction (not much, but something). I really don't care if Visa or Target get an extra…

Where I work we have decent perks. We have a casual dress code (jeans are allowed). We get free coffee/soda. We have free salad bar lunches with some other stuff thrown in (although the quality is pretty damn bad). Unfortunately, these little perks are there because we don't get a lot of respect from the company. Too…

I sometimes check in places on Facebook, but I use it more as an advertising method for the places I like. I would never check in a Chipotle or the grocery store or something like that, but I will at the little, family owned restaurant down the street. I figure if people see mu check-ins, if someone says they want to…

While this is certainly possible, I have to question how much it really happens. Most robberies are not targeted enough for this to be a factor. To make this work, you have to first stake out a house and find out how lives there. Then you have to find them online and hope they actually have an open profile for…

My work music is exclusively The Current.

This is only tangentially related, but are there any apps or launchers (other than WidgetLocker) that will let you quickly mute your phone from the lockscreen? I am stuck using WidgetLocker now, which isn't bad but WAY overkill for something that should be so simple. I just want to swipe to mute the ringer and swipe…

My issue with tipping (besides the fact that everyone should be paid at least minimum wage) is that it doesn't make sense to base it on a percentage of the bill. So if I go someplace and order a steak that costs $25 instead of sandwich that costs $6, the waitress should get a bigger tip? Tipping should be based on…

So says this guy...

1+2+2+1. No, there was only 1 shot at the chandelier so that would be 1+2+1+1. Even if you were right, that would be 1+1+2+1 not 1+2+1+1.

This was my thought exactly. If you should never button it, why is it there? It doesn't really add anything from a look perspective (at least IMO). Just because something has always been there doesn't mean it always needs to be there if it isn't useful.

I think 40 years is ridiculous for active pursuit of someone who we know isn't in the country and hasn't done anything since. I'm not saying pardon her, but the idea that 40 years later they are upping the reward from 1 million to 2 million and putting her on the FBIs most wanted list is just silly. Are you telling…

I actually do a mixture of these methods. I put the pasta in a frying pan (yes, a frying pan) and fill it with cold water. I then put the water on the burner. Once it starts to boil it usually takes another 2-3 minutes for the pasta to be done.

This reminds me a lot of back in 1991 (I think) when one of our local radio sports guys vowed to live on a billboard (on top of a roof) until the Bengals won a game. The Bengals being the Bengals, they started the season 0-8 and that year. He was living on that rooftop for 2 months before they finally one.

This obsession is what makes the Bling Ring so prevalent almost 5 years after the initial robbery took place and it is because, I believe, that a majority of society is just as sick as these teens were.

I actually ditched all of my bookshelves. When I moved last time, I had an interior decorator come in and look at the place to give me ideas for furniture, etc. One of the things she asked me was "how often do you look at the books on your bookshelves?" My answer was basically never (same thing with DVD cases). She…

I have found this to be difficult. While grocery stores do put unit pricing, what they have figured out is that they don't all have to be in the same units. For example, if I look at a 1.25 liter bottle of coke, the unit is "each" so the unit price is .99 (or whatever it costs that week). But if I look at a 2 liter…
