I spent all those hours in Word because I’m a transcriptionist and that’s what I have to use to produce documents for my clients. I’ve tried exporting from Pages, but templates got messed up.

I don’t understand your question. What is wrong with the number of hours I work? I’m a small business owner and that’s the amount of time I have to spend not just working for my clients, but also doing the back end stuff for my business.

Microsoft has had huge trouble with Outlook for Mac due to Apple’s interference. :( But Word is much better than the PC version as it’s still only in version 3 rather than having 20+ years of patches. Of course, it’s going the same route, but at least with the Mac version I know what bugs to look out for. I rarely get…

I am using a Google product right now and trying not to scream. I’ll pass.

I was so unhappy with my iPhone 5C that I actually seriously considered moving to an Android device. Then, I realised that I LOATHE Google and that I truly believe that it produces only half-baked crap. Nothing that Apple has ever done to annoy me has ever made me angry the way that Google’s junk does.

Ah, that explains it!

I think it depends on where you’re going to. If I’m going to Europe, I’d rather fly out later in the day, sleep as much as possible on the flight, arrive in their morning, live a full day on their schedule and wake up almost on local time the next day. Coming back to North America, though, I want the earliest flight I…

Even if I had a dishwasher, I would still hand wash! There’s real gold around the edges that would come off in the dishwasher! That’s one of the reasons why the couple’s kids weren’t interested as they felt the china was too high maintenance.

I spent the summer house sitting for a couple of who fled the Czech Republic in the ‘80s. One of the few things they brought with them from their old life was the wife’s grand-mother’s china, which pre-dated WWII. They used it for years and then brought it with them to their house in Mexico thinking it’d get more use…

You have obviously never stayed in a room barely big enough to hold a bed in which the only outlet was under the far side of the bed against the wall and you had to move the bed completely out of the way to get to the outlet because the bed was too low to crawl under it. She lost out on a 5-star Airbnb rating because…

“Where the outlets are in the guest room.”

I used to always have a Swiss Army knife on me when I travelled. Now, you can’t get one on a plane in carry on, so I don’t bother (I just spent 10 months in Europe flying between locations with only carry-on).

LOL! I will have to remember that one.

Being able to buy produce daily is a game changer for me now that I live in the city. I have almost no food waste now. I just buy what I’m going to eat that day.

There are so many similar testimonials.

If there is actually a knife that once had the potential to cut, yet, this is a great tip. But if you don’t even have a butter knife, even that is no help!

I think a big difference is that Europeans (and most of the rest of the world) shop daily or almost daily rather than stocking up. Mexico, where I live, is very European in many regards, including that one. I was excited to finally have a full size fridge again and discovered that there’s no point in having one since…

I’m a good cook is adaptive and who has lots of experience cooking in Airbnb kitchens. One thing that is universally lacking in them, from Truth or Consequences to Belgrade to Alicante to Manchester are sharp knives. Unless you’re going to be somewhere long enough to make it worth going out to buy a knife, this is the…

Mayo AND sour cream here and most places also have that liquid plastic yellow cheese used on nachos up north. OMG. :D

I’ve never heard of kabocha and hubbard squash: :(
