In the world of living green, there are things that you can do to make the world a better place. Last year, Al Gore even had a global concert called Live Earth and advocated small things you could do to fight climate control (the new word for global warming.) His suggestions were pretty simple: turn […]

A good friend of mine is a total control freak. She’ll fret over every single minute detail of everything, from dinner arrangements to business plans. I keep telling her to relax and not worry so much, but that just makes her worry about worrying so much. It’s a vicious circle. The hardest thing in the […]

The human body is one freaky creature. When you start taking a good, close look at some of the odd statistics and facts associated with our human shell, it starts to get a little weird. Consider the fingernails. The ones on your dominant hand (left or right) grow faster than on the other hand. The […]

Paul McCartney and iTunes reached a deal late yesterday that will finally allow the online music provider to make the Beatles catalog available for download. The details of the contract have not yet been released, but presumably all twelve studio albums from the group will be formatted for online availability. Whether or not their entire […]

We’ve all been there — stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire, lost on the highway searching for directions to a ‘local’ restaurant to meet some sketchy acquaintances, or, if you’re like me — you’ve lost your credit card (even though you’re positive it was stolen). So, what’s the connection between […]

MSG, like aspartame before it, has gotten a bad rap. Everyone’s all, “Oh, no MSG for me, please!” Well, you know what? MSG isn’t bad for you, doesn’t cause any weird malady, and like aspartame, it makes food taste better. Turning down MSG is like refusing sugar or cinnamon or butter. It’s a processed version […]

I’m a huge, huge fan of buying things used, mostly because it’s a great way to save money. However, there are some things that are okay to buy used, and some things you should probably go ahead and buy new, despite the greater expense. Here’s a list of what you can (usually) buy used safely. […]

Close your eyes (not literally) and think of a genius scientist. What’s the first image that pops into your head? Fuzzy white hair, mustache, unkempt, possibly in a sweater? I have no doubts that the first person you thought of was brilliant physicist Albert Einstein. It’s who I thought of, too. In the decades after […]

Let’s just get it out in the open. Most all of us fumbled blindly and often “failed” miserably in our first sexual encounters. None of us caused angels to sing or the earth to shake. It was messier and much briefer and a lot less synchronized than we had dreamed and imagined. Very few of […]

Well, okay, so it may not be made of people, but it definitely may not be good for your teeth, according to The Consumerist. If you’re a user of Crest Pro-Health Mouthwash, you might want to switch back to Listerine. If you want to know why, I suggest reading on. If you don’t want to […]

Advertising, believe it or not, is a huge business. So big, in fact, that they can range from $350,000 to $2.4 million to produce and air! It’s no surprise that marketers are finding ways to infiltrate your home and get inside the minds of children. Have you ever even sat down to watch TV on […]

I’ve got a couple of printers, and the cost of ink cartridges is absolutely outrageous.  In some cases, it’s cheaper just to buy an entirely new printer rather than replace the ink cartridge, because the ink that comes with the printer costs more than the printer itself!  I’ve actually done this before, not that I’m […]
