Do you know how Popeye kept his tool from rusting? He dipped it in Olive Oyle.

The science says an exercise you like to do and continue to want to do is the best. 90% of fitness is liking what you’re doing enough to want to keep doing it. If that’s running for you keep killing it!

I think part of the problem is that “in the snow” is pretty broad. There’s a competing argument to yours, which is that you want the weight of the vehicle concentrated as narrowly as possible to pass through the snow and make contact the road as traction comes from rubber on pavement (i.e., the treads, not the space…

I’d like to extoll the virtues of a plug-in electric snowblower. (I use a Toro 18 inch Power Curve). If you have access to a long heavy-duty extension cord that reaches where you want to reach, it’s unbeatable. Light weight and easy to maneuver, no smell, reasonable noise level, and it’s always ready to go. It’s not…

Don’t forget, silicon (or other lubricants) can be your friend. Spray the blades and chute of the blower with silicon before starting it. It will help reduce clogging that occurs when the snow is dense.

I’ve never understood the notion of “waiting until the snow stops”. I mean, yes, if you have to travel anywhere, then stay off the damn roads if it’s snowing! But if you’re clearing the stuff, whether mechanically or manually, it’s way better to keep on top of it.

Plus, if someone tells me that “it’s curtains for you!” I’ll know to be scared.  If they told me that “it’s drapes for you!”, I might be confused!

And just what, exactly, is wrong with having a “boob” light? We have them in all four bedrooms in our house, which we’ve lived in for over 12 years, and not one person visiting has ever said a word. And believe me, there were plenty of people who would have said something. Just because you’ve judged them as…

there are so many more important things i could do with my time, and i certainly never even thought it looked like a boob before now, so thanks, i guess?

Yeah, those are so tacky. I replaced mine with these and they’re way better:

With a title like that I expected some tips on how to identify more rugged construction across lines, like looking at how the draws are built and stuff. Silly me!

You can definitely expect the mortgage, taxes, insurance, and whatever cut the rental company gets (if one is used) to be baked into the rent. I doubt many people renting homes have a mortgage with PMI so that’s out, I’ve always had to pay my utilities so that’s out, and I’ve rented plenty of places that made me do…

I am, by law, required to post this gif :

I think you’re being hyperbolic; the only advice I’m really seeing in this article are some way to protect plants...hardly waging war.

I agree. But at a 17 year emergence, not sure I would call them “vital”.

I’ve only put mine up when freezing rain is in the forecast because chipping ice off them results in breakage.

I use to turn off the engine, then activate the wipers whereby they will end up resting against the windshield while pointing upwards. Makes it way easier to clean the windshield. I also have a spray bottle containing a mix of water and household alcohol (1 part water, 2 part household alcohol) which is a great help…

I’ve been doing this exact thing for a while. Be sure and wait for the broth to cool slightly, or else the yolk will cook once you pierce the egg white instead of emulsifying into the broth.

I'm assuming that the need for these repairs arises from normal wear and tear.

Possible correction required: You describe WD-40 as a lubricating agent and then link to an article that explicitly states that WD-40 is not a lubricant.
