  • This one is easy for me. When I was a kid, my mom made a hamburger casserole. The ingredients were fairly cheap, it was easy to make, delicious, and filling – all perfect for a single mother who worked long hours. Needless to say, we had it pretty regularly. When she passed away, my wife inherited all of her recipes. Mom has been gone 10 years, but when my wife makes it, it tastes just like it used to and takes me back to a time when, even though we didn’t have much money, it was her and me against the world. Eating it now gives me a warm comfortable feeling.

    In fact, I’m going to text my wife now and tell her that I’d like some for supper this week.



  • Dude, 3M Extreme Mounting Tape is the stuff. I bought a portable CarPlay unit for my work vehicle, and I mounted it on the dash with the included mounting tape. It didn’t stay up there a day before it was falling off anytime I hit a bump. I went to Lowe’s and got some Extreme Mounting Tape and put it on, and it doesn’t move. AT ALL. The one time I had to take it off, I thought I was gonna pull parts of the dash off with the tape! I live in the south, and not even the summer heat affects it.





  • Yes, and have for years going to back to the Google Reader days. (I will NEVER forgive them for shutting it down. That’s the closest I’ve ever come to giving up everything Google, but in the end it was too much of a hassle and I didn’t have the time to move everything to new services.)

    When I lost GReader, I tried every one I could to find a replacement, and I settled on NewsBlur. It was the one that was most like what I was I used to, had the best features, and is a one man operation. So I’m supporting an independent dev, who’s very responsive on the forum. It’s not free, but well worth the money, and I’ve been with it ten years now. I have a number of news, tech, and general feeds that I check most every day. Everything I need to stay up to date in one place!
