That's all true and good advice. Sometimes though, I think walking for exercise has a semi-reputation of being wimpy or as a gateway exercise to more vigorous workouts. What I think is important about the study is that it reaffirms walking as a fine exercise option and that the health benefits are maybe greater than…

I wonder if I throw in a towels pierced with half a dozen safety pins into the dryer will it save me from being repeatedly and painfully zapped in my ears when I'm not careful to keep my dangling earbud cords from contacting the laundry as I take it out?

Just like heating plates before serving a meal! Good idea.

I always worry more about the coffee in my cup staying hot as long as possible. Tervis cups work really well to keep it hot for as long as it takes me to drink it, by the way, but maybe I start out with a too cool brew water right from the start.

It works during social phone calls as well. I don't mind talking with some of my long winded relatives as much when they are distracting me while I pick up or fold laundry.

No matter what solution you use, for best results make sure your skin is completely dry before applying and before putting on clothing. This is especially important if you have taken a hot shower/bath. A blow dryer on cool works really well for a quick dry off.

I have used Corel Photo Paint 6 since the mid-nineties.

As soon as I hear the word "GLUTEN" anything and everything in my self that is tolerant and open to new ideas slams the door, covers my ears and sings the "Do you like pancakes?" jingle over and over again.

Several years ago my mother and I were by the Splash Zone for the Tidal Wave ride at Busch Gardens. There were tons of kids around. I looked down and saw a folded 20$ bill on the ground. I could not make myself pick it up because, I am a wimp and cannot stand the thought of someone's misfortune being my fortune…

I am an "action" Wine Drinker. I don't sit and sip or chill and swill -at least on vacation. Last summer, I drank wine out of a disposal coffee travel mug because it's harder than you might think to drink wine from a goblet on a boat or playing bocce ball or fishing off the dock without spilling it all over…

I know, right. He keeps getting better with age. Even Louis CK thinks he's beautiful.

I totally agree! I wish he could narrate my life. He does a great job on "Neverwhere" as well

Very good suggestions. I have listened to several including all the "Game of Thrones" books. Roy Dotrice does a great job & he narrates all but one.

A paste made from baking soda and good quality dish washing detergent works on all my fussy cookware, countertops and my flat cooktop.

That was the loveliest meatloaf recipe I have ever read.

I don't what else, but if you have an attached garage there is still danger. In my town, an elderly couple and two middle school girls might still be alive if they had one. Of course, they would still be alive if someone had not left a vehicle running in their respective home's garage, but that is another matter.

A little off topic except in the idea of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as an interesting guy- A book of excerpts from his diary, detailing his time in the Arctic as a ship's doctor came out this month. It is titled "Dangerous Work".

"The Creature" from "Frankenstein, the True Story" (1973) included a sexy male monster portrayed by Michael Sarrazin.

Beautiful..... I'll be in my bunk.*

Since so few people are omniscient it would be nearly impossible to vet the veracity of every argument in every subject. It makes sense that we would use our knowledge, perspectives and bias to make judgments about the truth as told to us by the media. In the case of this article, I do not believe that we believe…
