Make Sure the Airlines Don’t Lose Your Bags – Fly With a Gun

You read that right – if you want to make sure that an airline doesn’t lose your bags, or that TSA staff doesn’t steal things out of your bag, you should pack a gun in each bag that you check. It doesn’t even have to be a real gun – a simple, totally-legal-in-all-50-states starter [...]

Make Finishing Your Task Your ‘Next Task’

Found this little productivity gem, courtesy of Ernest Hemmingway, over at The Second Act:
The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day … you will never be stuck. Always stop while you are going good and don’t think [...]

Getting Married? A Last Name Change Checklist

I have had a lot of friends get married lately.
Some of them have asked me how to go about changing their last name – what needs to be done? Who do I have to tell about my name change? What is the procedure for changing my name after getting married?
I’ve pieced together [...]

Bananagrams Variations

I’m finding that it’s a big pain to keep a standard heating pad on it, owe to both the unruly size and unrly (and confining) cord.
