We have to give phenobarbital to Rosie, our middle dog. She has epilepsy and a cluster seizure episode could prove fatal. We’ve been using the same medicine for four and a half years. At this point she only gets a half pill every morning, and the pills are pre-scored so that you can snap them […]
We’ve been eating the Mike Dolce diet for awhile and one thing that has become more important to us is portion sizes. Dolce’s 21-day weight cutting diet has some specific guidelines for the amount of chicken and other items we’re supposed to eat every day. I figured it was time to get a proper food […]
I use an electric kettle to make tea, Aeropress-style coffee, and heat up our mugs and coffee airpot. One thing I learned early in my tea-making career was that it’s important to use different temperatures for different teas. Delicate white tea needs a lower temperature, while herbal and black tea can take near-boiling temperatures. I […]
Living in the tundra has given me two things: 1 – An appreciation for warm socks 2 – Annual sinus infections In order to avoid hopping on the antibiotics-go-round yet again, I decided to listen to the folks on the internet and give a humidifier a try. The Vick’s Warm Mist humidifier is a small […]
I supported the Ascension Online Kickstarter in February of this year and I have been impatiently waiting ever since. There were delays in getting the Windows client out before the end of the year, and the Android version (the real reason I kicked the project) wasn’t coming out this year at all. With just five […]
Holy CRAP I love buying consoles after their successors have launched. I bought a refurbished PlayStation 3 not too long ago for $150. It came with a controller. I needed more controllers, and so I bought some. For $10 – $12 each. Then I needed to buy a charging unit. So I bought one. For […]
Small single-stack 9mm pistols like the Kel-Tec PF-9 or S&W M&P Shield are highly portable and more easily concealed than their higher-capacity, double-stack magazine counterparts. We accept their drawbacks like more harsh recoil, less fit-and-finish, and lackluster triggers in order to gain advantages in weight and size. This is particularly important to women, whose different […]
Long story short: The water where I live in Minnesota is terrible. I bought and installed a six-stage reverse osmosis filter instead of buying bottled water or having water delivered to the home. The filter had a massive improvement on the taste of our water and pretty much changed my life. Six months later, it […]
Way back when I used to live in Virginia, something magical would happen about once a month. I’d take off almost all of my clothes in front of another guy and he’d pinch me gently all over my body. Meaning, my friend and personal trainer Yoda would use calipers to measure my body fat. I […]
My Sony PlayStation 4 console arrived on launch day. I’d pre-ordered the PS4 console and the game WatchDogs from Amazon in October. Unfortunately Watch Dogs was delayed until 2014, and Amazon downgraded me to a console-only pre-order and refunded me the difference. Getting a PS4 without WatchDogs is better than no PS4 at all, right? […]
