   I'm a big fan of Munchery. Delicious, fresh, great variety, and only a few minutes in the microwave. I find that I waste more money going to the grocery, because by the time I get home from work, the last thing I want to do is cook.

   Skimming your blog, I see you live in the desert. Well, many Californians do not live in the desert, we live in urban areas where there is a higher population density, and for health and sanitary reasons, we have modern plumbing. Maintaini

    My dad is an overly-enthusiastic Waze user. He is nearly 70, and the last thing he needs is a distraction. I have nagged him endlessly about how dangerous it is. I would love to hear any tips or suggestions on what others have said to the

    I also wear anti-glare lenses and find them to be helpful. I use Refresh Optive Advanced in the morning for my dry eyes, and take a high quality fish oil supplement (Minami). Last but not least, I sleep. A lot. Once in a while I will stay

    Many years ago when I was a pre-teen, I was up late reading when I heard someone walking on the roof of our house. I will never forget that moment, because I was just sitting at my desk, when suddenly I heard heavy footsteps across our roo

    I can't stand the App Store. I have to strain my eyes to read the categories, then strain them again to read the price, and again to read the reviews. I miss the old way of doing everything within a browser (albeit not one that knows

    Yep, I used to get CDs with my monthly issue of MacAddict. Those were a highlight for me. I still remember when I discovered Glenn's Games. I felt like I'd hit the jackpot.

    That was a nice trip down memory lane. I still have fond memories of zipping through the MacAddict magazine forums on Camino. And downloading a dozen freeware apps I didn't need through VersionTracker. Nowadays, I avoid the App Store

    Sometimes it's a matter of being in the right place at the right time. I applied (and was rejected) for at least 50 federal positions before I was hired. My organization needed someone fast to replace a 20-year fed who was retiring. Th

    I imagine so. It's ironic, because in a flash, she did an ultimate act of self-preservation by cauterizing her wound, yet she was also anorexic, which I think is anything but self-preservation.

    Thank you for posting this. My favorite story of Emily Bronte has always been the one where she was bitten by a dog, and then proceeded to calmly cauterize her own wound with a hot iron poker. As a fellow middle child who was also oversha

    I will always prefer physical books. Way back in the 80s when I was in grade school, books were my only form of entertainment that didn't require me to leave my bedroom (extreme introvert speaking here). Plus, there's the irres
