No need to buy a brand new teflon pan every time food sticks to it. Oil and salt are keys to pretreating a pan to be nonstick. I typically do not salt my food much, but I have found that in heating a pan with oil and a little salt in it a few minutes before frying the food will prevent the food from...

Wriggling Of A Wire
By the wriggle of a wire, I am spared buying expensive computer speakers or taking my computer in for repairs--if I should be so insistent upon sound.

Frantic To Clean
I best make this short. I am frantic to clean my apartment, because maintenance personnel will enter tomorrow. A respectable appearance is desired, but it will be a challenge to achieve on my short available time between work and sleep. I will have to aim for tidiness, that is the appearance that...

Cellphones And Expiration Dates
My cellphone minutes must be expired, I thought. When I realized that today was the the expiration date for the minutes on my cellphone, I was concerned I would run across trouble renewing my minutes.

Spilled Milk No Laughing Matter Around Computers
Oops! I spilled milk.... next to the computer. Some of it went into my front port. Then a message appeared notifying me that it did not recognize this port. After wiping the milk from the table platform, I tested my photo memory card plugin. It did not work. Then I took a few slivers of paper tower... Sign in to see full entry.

Republicans Going The Way Of The Whigs?
Note the senatorial race in Massachusetts. Scott Brown is not running and neither is any other Republican in the ad hoc election to fill the senate seat vacated by now Secretary of State John Kerry. The Republicans must have decided that they do not have a chance. Hearing one statistic, I can... Sign in to see full entry.

Bingoes In Scrabble For Less Than 60 points Extremely Unlikelyt
A rarity in Scrabble is a bingo--where all seven tiles are played in on e turn. Fifty points are added unto what the word otherwise scores. The absolute lowest scoring bingo would then be 55, wherein two of the letters are the pointless blanks. With seven tiles, it is likely at least one will be... Sign in to see full entry.

The So-Called Expanded Health Mandate
In terms of health care, there is one mandate in my mind--to be followed by moral responsibility and common sense. That is simply that if someone is severely hurt, injured, or diseased, their loved ones had better admit them to a hospital that can provide the life saving treatment that they need....
