• Commented on 7-Year-Old Walmart Shopper Fights Off Attempted Kidnapping In Toy Aisle
  How is it still not fixed? How do we get their attention, this is bad enough that it makes me twitch. #editor...
• Commented on Make A Compost Pile And Your Garden Will Thank You
  Many counties have a Master Composter program, much like the Master Gardener program. I'd recommend consulting them for questions if your area has one! I live in an apartment, so I compost indoors with my Naturemill, which was not inexpensive,...
• Commented on Be Slick And Make Your Own Hair Gel
  Somehow I don't think this will do the same job as my DevaCurl AnGel, which is conditioning, lightweight, and soft (i.e. doesn't make my curls crunchy). I'm ok with it costing $18 since it's just that awesome. Not to mention...
• Commented on Cut Carbs With These Food Substitutions
  Agreed. A lot of these subs are STILL carbs. Like squash, for instance....
• Commented on Ask Tax Cat: What The Heck Is Going On With The Business Mileage Rate For 2011?
  I was just about to post this question! We got reimbused 51 cents all year, so while it's only a 4 cent difference for 6mo, it adds up....
• Commented on Citi Says Those Free Rewards Miles You Received Are Taxable
  I was wondering this too. Because I don't travel enough, my miles expire when I'm not diligent about them....
• Commented on Personal Finance Roundup
  The last millionaire I dated was boring as hell. Maybe because I already do have obscure hobbies like glass blowing :)...
• Commented on 24 Million Zappos Accounts May Have Been Compromised
  Ditto here. I never got the breach email, and dspam has no record of it ever coming in. Someone had to tell me about it, and the reset password link makes no mention. Even better is at the bottom of...
• Commented on How To Clean And Maintain Leather Furniture
  Does this apply to leather seats in cars too? I just got them, need to look up maintenance and care....

  Does HIPAA apply here?...
• Commented on Lawsuit Against Frito-Lay: "All-Natural" Means You Shouldn't Be Using Genetically Modified Ingredients
  THIS. I am allergic to corn, and I totally blame Monsanto. I'm also an avid gardener, and a company like Monsanto having a patent on a food supply just baffles me....
• Commented on If CVS Sells You Something Expired, It's Your Own Damn Fault
  I dunno. If you've ever had to tell an employee about some obviously gross moldy boxes of candy sitting blatantly on the shelves multiple times, you might think they were lazy too. When I worked retail, we had to do...
• Commented on How To Cut Paper Out Of Your Life
  Someone tell me how to get rid of the papery junk mail I get that immediately goes into recycling. It overflows my poor mailbox! I do all the other paperless stuff....
• Commented on Adidas Ships My Package To A Bar Instead Of My House & Expects Me To Be Okay With That
  I'm beginning to agree. My coworker recently had a package that was intended for his HOUSE delivered to some random APARTMENT building MILES away :) I watched him make a zillion phonecalls and finally just dispatched his wife to get...
• Commented on Adjustments To Help You Save Time And Money
  Ah thanks. I had just posted a comment asking how realistic that was. Of course, I had only seen the first page of comments then....

  How realistic is this 'gas allowance' thing? I wouldn't want to get laughed at here....
• Commented on TiVo Twists AT&T's Arm, Gets It To Cough Up $215 Million Patent Settlement
  Actually, I think the real problem was they were selling an inferior DVR to their customers and calling it TiVo or 'like TiVo'. Let's be honest, I can't legally speak for my former employer, but TiVo has a lot of...
• Commented on Man Claims His $800 Water Bill Is An Error Since He Hasn't Used 80,000 Gallons Of Water In The Last Month
  I know collecting rainwater is illegal around here because it's ultimately the property of the county or some such, but I was surprised to learn using grey-water in landscape is also regulated in places. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greywater#Governmental_regulation for the rest of the...
• Commented on 3 Hidden Tricks For iPhones And iPads
  Is that what happened? Mine stopped functioning recently too....

• Commented on TSA Agent Finds Pot In Rapper's Bag, Leaves Note Rather Than Confiscating It
  They WILL arrest you for flying with medical cannabis across state lines. Even like SFO->LAX is iffy, though I've read OAK is super lax. I have to travel for work a lot, and it really sucks not being able to...
• Commented on San Francisco Begins Roll-Out Of Pay-By-Phone Parking Meters
  Santa Cruz already does this, and it's seriously awesome. I stopped to talk to a Meter Maid about how it worked the first time I encountered one. They carry a blackberry and it has all the license plates of ppl...
• Commented on NTSB: You Shouldn't Be Using Your Cell Phone While Driving, Even Hands-Free
  I still hate regulating for stupidity. I sit in traffic for 90 minutes every evening, and I know how to focus on the road, and stop listening or talking when something is happening on the road. I don't text, and...
• Commented on Ideas On Scraping Up Extra Cash For The Holidays
  Why does everyone think it's so easy to be a photographer? Especially for portraits. Learning how to light is very important, as well as having the correct tools. And a million other reasons I'm too tired to list. This also...

  It's ok. I'm so used to seeing the shortened version of the word, it didn't occur to me what this was....
• Commented on Couple Says United Airlines Employee Used Gay Slur Against Them
  I'll be honest, i have NO idea what slur is replaced by f****t above. Maybe I'm just lucky I haven't heard this one yet?...
• Commented on Bakery: We Lost At Least $19,500 In Groupon Deal
  My boss dislikes using groupons on goods, but thinks it's ok for services, where less money is actually lost. Realistically, I never remember to use any of mine for goods, but thinks like yoga classes and surfing lessons I am...

  I'm confused. I'm a Steam customer, why did they not notify me?!?...
