This is the one I use at work - it is a life-saver (well, wrist-saver) and I have it set so fast that about a 1/4 inch move takes the pointer across the screen. The ergo keyboard they got me is pretty lame - in fact I had to get them to order num-keypad because there wasn't one on the keyboard I work with SS #s all…

I used to do that too. I would order IPA or port; now I prefer IPAs with an IBU of 60 or greater and bought a bottle of port for my 40th birthday that was as old as I was - heck, I bought into a bottle of port from 1917 and it was wonderful!!

I place TPT up there with the Little Prince - both of which I did not find until I was an adult.

I truly understand, back when coke first came out with the 16 oz bottle they sold them in 8 packs - I would drink at least 1 8-pack a day. I lost about 40 pounds; I would joke that the Coke ate the food before I did and I p*ssed it away. That was a really odd time, I was so unconscious that I did not notice that my…

I have been with my credit union for about 30 years; I just opened an account at a new CU because they offer 5% on the first $500 in checking and in savings for a total of $1000 at 5% (above that it is the same .5%).

And yet 'they' define insanity as doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome; I have always called that practice

Arrghh, you just stepped on my grammar nerve, if the item is countable use fewer - ie we need more laws like this not fewer.

I have been using dental alginate to make near perfect molds for awhile - I think I still have a couple plaster casts (positive and negative) left from the old days when I was experimenting on myself. I keep running various casting ideas through my mind; mostly one form of hot glass or another. I have put on a lot…

I am not sure that would help in this case - no one I know eats the outside of a cantaloupe. My French grandfather had the right idea - he served small half-cantaloupes filled with Martini Rouge, I don't know if that would have killed the Listeria but it was a wonderful digestif (years ago mom railed at me for saying…

Yeah, and I was actually referring to the rewards on his credit card . The point is now moot as they no longer accept credit card or debit card orders. "The Mint has determined that this policy change is prudent due to ongoing activity by individuals purchasing $1 coins with credit cards, accumulating frequent flyer…

Bats are opportunistic feeders so you can't count on them to handle your entire mosquito problem. Worrying about bats as a vector for rabies is pretty silly unless it is endemic in your area and then bats are not the top worry. Whereas West Nile might be more worrisome.

Your statement implies the possibility that 'maybe it wasn't sealed for a reason' which leads me to think wtf!?

There is an interesting 'cheat' going around that has to do with buying 500 or more dollar coins from the mint using your credit card. Buying that many means the shipping is free so you end up with your reward points and your $500. You just have to spend the coins or turn them in. Last time I checked it was still…

That is why I drink coffee/water - the walk to the bathroom gets me up and away from my computer every once in a while (after I quit smoking, I found myself praying to the cathode gods for hours without moving).

Prime rib - drooling begins. We have a freezer full of cow (we bought an 1/8th of a free-range cow last week); it is time to find some flesh to warm.

The main problem with eating just before bedtime is 'reflux'; if esophagal sphincter gets displaced a little (hiatal hernia) food and acid can come back up because that sphincter is not strong enough on its own to prevent reflux, it also needs the help of the diaphragm. So, yeah, eating late at night is not good for…

I have sleep apnea and use the CPAP every night; - what I miss most is my dreaming. When I am off the CPAP, I have dreams that are science fiction-y action-packed adventures. I use to nap on purpose so I could dream. If I do not get my 8 hours of sleep and slow down for even 15 minutes, the adventure begins. When…

How can you never wash something that is all soapy and rinsed almost daily?

Does it work to be real lazy and wrap the soap in yarn then felt it? I have a friend who cards, spins, and knits her wool - it tired me out just watching.

Now I am confused - I thought Bourne/Damon trained in Kali or Filipino Martial arts so where does Krav Maga come from?
