Hi Elope. Why not just build one? I don’t know your level of woodworking skill but it’s darn easy. You can get simple plans online and pick up cheap materials at the store and build something custom! This was always my favorite choice for anything similar. Grab some high-quality 2x4s for runners and put some plywood…

I really like the concept, though I wonder how productive actual “work” would be with everyone nearby. I spend a lot of time editing videos, writing, and working on websites, so there are many times where it simply slows me down and interferes with my progress when someone interrupts. As for a casual setup, I think…

Is this what true “homegrown terrorism” is about? Ha!

I can personally vouch for the fire extinguisher. I was driving an old Chrysler that I’d recently bought from my ex’s grandparents. It was definitely a grandpa car but it seemed to be in decent shape for the most part (he was a very, VERY slow driver). After having the car for less than month, it caught on fire one…

Very interesting and, while I’m glad to know it, hope that I never, ever, ever, ever need to use this knowledge. Thanks anyway! Haha!

I agree about this but only as it relates to people who aren’t sociopaths. For those who aren’t “in the know,” there DO exist some people in this world who don’t care about us or our feelings--they only care about winning. I learned this the hard way by repeatedly trying to win over people who wouldn’t care if I got…

I just wish they’d allow us to view no matter where we are, as long as we’re paying. It’s annoying that I only want to watch the US football games and must use a VPN just to do so. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve lost my connection, had a lousy image, couldn’t pull it up, or didn’t have sound. It’s frustrating.

I have a nice bike that I ride once or twice daily, mainly because of my bone spur and knee pain. It’s a great option, I believe.

Hi Beth, thanks for sharing this with us! I have a question for you: I used to play basketball every single day up until I was about 21. Now I’m 41 and am nursing a bone spur from playing basketball over two years ago—a result from a foot injury I got from two hours in Tokyo, and then re-injured again here in China…

This is unfortunate. Still, making more laws to specifically target using phones is useless, as we already have “driving wrecklessly” laws. I’ve been in China now for over three years and people getting hit by cars is a very thing, sadly. Often, people even walk to their deaths while staring at their phones—even down…

Well, this SORT OF reminds me of when I first began playing paintball. Giving each other five minutes to hide in the woods and then stalk each other...man, that’s fun stuff. The first time was the best—very nerve-wracking. However, once you realize that you can’t hide behind everything, then it becomes more…

Here’s where the rubber meets the road: this article is a bit racier than the usual, tiring roll-outs. I can’t understand how they managed to race out of there while lugging so much—that’s just nuts. I guess their aligned teamwork really had an impact.

After having been an Astros fan for almost 40 years, I know how you feel. I never really cared about shutouts and no-hitters—-I cared about what my brother always cared about: The Ws. Get to the big dance and win it. Didn’t care much about the in-between as long as the desired outcome was obtained. Still, he had a…

I’ve been living in China for over three years now and one of the things they do here is save money wherever they can. Discount cards, standing in line, using the phone to pay—anything and everything that can save even one yuan. My girlfriend declined paying with cash at the hotel last week, opting instead to use her…

I freaking loved the early Final Fantasy games. The stories were huge, the characters were deep and real, the music was stirring and apprpriate, and the game play was amazing. I miss it now that I’ve read this and wish I could recapture that feeling! I think I’ll go download some FF music. Thanks for the nostalgia! :D…

Tyson is good at being loud, obnoxious, and stirring up the crowds, but he rarely says anything that is true and often contradicts many things we’re told about the earth and universe. Too bad he’s more concerned with being popular than he really is with truth.

LOL! Thanks Obama! Actually, the title of this post drew me in. His poor ancestors! They must be turning over in their graves more than the Lakers turned the ball over last season!

Haha...this article and your reply made me think of two things: my old “outdoor garage” and my ex wife! She never tried and never would’ve tried to have anything to do with what I was doing on the cars but she was always amazed. I never considered myself a mechanic but I was definitely an occasional shadetree guy. I…
