Can you change settings on your phone without looking at the screen?

I think they have to be old enough to have a coherent conversation with a 911 operator and wise enough to not answer the door to strangers. For some kids, they might be as young as 7 and be able to do this. But I know 30 year olds who couldn't manage this feat.

The answer to the 1st question is no because they don't have the car yet to do the driving.

Maybe it's not that obscure but Notepad++ for any Windows platform machine is a beautiful thing.

So, no then. Re-setting up is a big pain when you have more than a few of these apps.

Why would you back out of the app? At least on Android, you just leave the app up, visit the Authenticator, and come back to it by clicking your multitasking soft button (or hold down home key if you're on a Sammy phone).

Yup. And bring a poker face. My husband and I pretty much committed to the memory foam one from the beginning but we let the sales guy keep trying to talk us into it. Ended up getting a free bed frame out of the deal, plus about a $700 discount off his initial quote.

Seriously, this. I don't want to plug a particular brand, but my husband and I bought a memory foam mattress this past year and the difference between that and just about anything we've had before has been night and day. It basically makes hotel mattresses seem terrible now, where before they were mildly bad.

The thing about some of the states listed as "best" is that some of those are real boom/bust states that just so happen to be in boom periods right now (or are on the upswing from pretty awful busts). Consider Nevada, they were among the worst hit by the 2008 recession, with tons of foreclosures and halted building…

Baby boomer here wishing all Gen X and Y's would STFU and get back to work. Don't make me post here again. And get off my lawn.

On Voice Control, Commandr is a lot easier to use to extend your voice commands than Tasker is. It also has its own Tasker extension if you really want to go there. I would also extend this by saying that hands-free voice control is also something that once you have, you'll never do without. "OK Google" ,…

I prefer the rule that says, "Save enough so that you can pull out 4-5% each year of retirement and live the life you want to live". Much easier to remember and 4-5% annually is not, over the long term, an insurmountable expectation and hopefully keep your savings on par with inflation a bit into retirement. It's…

This tactic was actually similar to a "speed reading" tactic that was taught to me back in high school. I think they called it the 1-2-3 method or something similar. Read table of contents, scan the index, briefly thumb through the book glancing at the topic sentence (usually the 1st) of each paragraph along the…

The same people who complained about never having to use it in the real world are those who took on balloon mortgages in the early 2000s and then were shocked, SHOCKED when they suddenly found their mortgage payment tripling just as the crash happened.

I wouldn't stop there. I would learn about 2 column account, how to balance an account. Scary how many people can't account for where there money goes and can't calculate something as straightforward as net worth.

This. Just simply getting over the whole economics isn't about money, it's about scarcity hump is really worth the time.

Going off season is good for this too.

Grab local newspaper or take a look at the online version of the local newspaper to find surprisingly low cost and fun side trips to do that might be aimed more at locals than tourists. In some seaside towns, you'll sometimes run across local Elks, VFWs, churches who run fund-raising lobster roll or clambake…

Google Now does this for me by reading my hotel and appointment information off my calendar. So you can save a few steps by opting into that feature.
