Yes, the newer ones tend to run very hot. I think there is an abundance of caution with regard to food safety. But if the ingredients are boiling (and I found that they were boiling like crazy even on low), it's not a slow cooker. I stopped using slow cookers for a long time for this very reason. Then I found…

Many crock pots will allow you to set a cook time and then it will flip to warm.

As a best practice, any business owner (that includes freelancers) should have a separate business bank account for a number of reasons. Mingling personal and business funds makes a terrible mess.

I have the sunrise alarm shown in the photo. In addition to being able to choose the intensity of the light, the volume and type of audible alarm can also be chosen. It starts softer and grows louder In addition, I have the nature sounds, so it's just birds chirping, which is much less jarring than anything else I've…

Not only that, but as we get older, the balls of our feet lose its padding. No amount of shifting will fix that. I'm letting go of the dream that I will ever again wear a pair of sexy heels. Fortunately, the aging process also requires that men love me for who I am on the inside anyway. ;p

Great article. When I first saw the topic, I mentally created a long list of issues. You addressed them all and then some. I would like to add: Understand relative vs. absolute difference. Results expressed as a relative difference can seem to be much more impressive than they really are.

How wide-ranging are the options for nutritional goals? Would a vegan and a paleo adherent be equally happy with it?

My CC carrier usually gives great customer service and when the same thing happened a few years ago, they did get me a new card in a couple of days. But this one time, they really dropped the ball -to their detriment. I got a reward card as my second account (using LH recommendations), and now I use that one…

Some of us use one main credit card (or debit card) to manage our expenses; some of us use more than a few. Whichever camp you're in, and even if you don't want to have to juggle multiple cards, having at least two can help. The one you don't use serves as a backup in the worst case scenario of your emergency fund…

Purple ink? I'm gonna guess that's because red is too traumatizing? This whole topic makes me very glad I finished raising my family decades ago.

The employer has a fiduciary duty to put the employees interests first, which means making sure fees are not excessive and that the plan offers a sufficient variety of investments to mitigate risk. It doesn't sound like you went to work for that company, but clearly they were not meeting their responsibilities.

Agree. And short, too. These are not going to work for any coach seats I've been in for the last 10 years.

So, will two of those little things be sufficient for a load of king sized sheets? I've been meaning to try these and will procrastinate no longer. :)

My thoughts? [shudder] I work in a cubicle farm, and that's bad enough. This is some kind of fresh hell. Actually, I think the science is showing that the open plans do not produce the desired results. For example:

...

"bears" Although your version is more fun. :)

Yes. It's a matter of "know thyself."

Me too - fresh washcloth every day. Fresh towel every 2 - 3 days. I live alone, so I know exactly where that towel has been, so to speak. When I was married and raising a family, we had only one bathroom, and friends in the house nearly every day. In those days, fresh towels every day, because there was no telling…

Ditto for Quiet. I forgot that one.
