Those look like nice knives. Congratulations!! She Who Must Be Obeyed won't let me put up more Magnabars or I'd show you my whole collection. I rotate them in and out of these two racks. I tend, as you can see, to favor carbon steel but do have a number of older stainless knives from various...

Bless you for helping him. I've had to do this so many time myself. Dogs, cats, horses, favorite dairy goats. It's never easy. I miss every one of them.

I love induction. My Samsung induction top is far more versatile than gas. I can control temperatures to within about 3 degrees, according to tests I've done with a laser thermometer. I was concerned about the fragility of the glass as I use blue steel and cast iron pans often. With a little...

Cancelling card accounts may put a ding on your FICO score temporarily. You do more damage to the companies by letting the account stay idle and not using it. They still have monthly processing costs on your account they have to bear, albeit not very much.

Son's first car @ 16 was my 84 Mercedes 240D, a car so slow it can't get out of its own way. He learned to wrench on it and driving 18 miles one way to school, he saved fuel money as it gets 36mpg. Safe, heavy and simple. It now has over 400K miles and purrs like a kitten. It's a euro taxi...

Congratulations! Between my 86 F150 4x4 and my '11 Ridgeline with only 60K on it I'm good to go. I have bought houses that cost less than a new truck.

Tip the owner. My wife owns a small salon. She makes no more than the other two stylists who work there and gets nothing out of the time she has to spend on books, scheduling, etc...time she could be cutting and styling and earning money. I just asked her, and she said she'd be thrilled if she...

I'd open that 24oz tin and split it up into a dozen 2oz. servings, ziplocked and frozen. I put anchovy into salad dressing and virtually every red meat stew and red sauce variation I make. Just a bit adds so much flavor and you'd never know any fish at all was in the recipe. It's the secret...

I am typing this on a 2008 vintage MacBook Pro 15in. laptop. It's my daily driver. We have iMacs, iPads and 2 MacBook Airs in this house so I'm a bit prejudiced. Having said that, if all you do is check email and surf the web and watch cat videos, why not get a 300 dollar Chromebook and call it...

Food and its prep IS a personal skill set, and for the life of me I cannot come up with a reason to use frozen, rather than fresh spinach in any situation. Pure, stringy mush.

I have worked side jobs in fine dining and bartending my entire adult life and still do, one day a week. Here are some observations. -If you had sub-par service, don't stiff your server. Your server will just figure you're a cheapskate. Instead, leave a low tip. 10% or less. The message will...

This. But I'd have used a semi-colon after #1. Picky picky.

Try using other descriptives. Like "the applicant", or "the accused" or whatever. English used to default to the male, but not any more. In an article or a report it's also fine to switch back and forth from he to she or his to her. You see that all the time these days. 'They' is also acceptable...

Hard to believe they are still doing this, but apparently there really is a sucker born every minute. ALL the scam computer calls I get have an east Indian sounding caller on the other end, whether it's about Apple or MS, most are about my "windows" computer, which I do not and have not ever...

Did they offer to buy it after informing you that it's not a diamond, lol! I have two uncut Arkansas Diamonds that have been handed down in my family for several generations. My grandfather picked them up in what would become later the Arkansas Diamond park. They're pretty big, and an ancestor...

I wish I had a beergarden so I could just go out and pick a frosty one. Mint tea's ok, especially iced. Regular hot teas to me mostly taste like dishwater and I've never understood the fuss.

Sidewall damage is usually not repairable. My wife's AWD Subaru owner's manual specifies a wear tolerance, very small, after which all 4 tires must be replaced to avoid damage to the transmission.

We have a healthy female who has our neighborhood on her circuit. I have seen her but never photographed her. Seen her tracks right outside my pasture fence, but she's never bothered my livestock. Plenty of deer for her along the creek bottom. I posted this game cam shot of 4 of her young'uns a...

Several years ago I was watching Jay Leno's Garage and he was having an unobtainable part for some antique car recreated by 3D printing. A mold was made from the plastic repro and the part was then cast. Only a matter of time before 3D metal printing will be possible at home. Not all tech is...

Another vote for DuckDuckGo. I never use Google, other than for a work mail account and I make sure I'm signed out when done with mail. I also use Opera, which, short of a paid for VPN, has the best privacy of any browser. I has built-in what it calls a "VPN"...it's really not, more like a...
