Let's start this.

If there is a door that's closing and it locks and you don't it to lock, stick a card (something that feels like a credit card) in the slot so it doesn't lock but still closes fully.

The average stock broker is a numbskull. It is frightening, really.

you can make yummy scrambled eggs in the microwave.


you don't need butter or milk. 3 eggs whisked up then in for 1 min, whisk again then 25 secs, perfect for on one slice of toast, with a bit of cracked pepper.

probably common knowledge but it's a really nice, easy, healthy breakfast in less than 2 mins.

Most companies/brands are happy to replace missing or broken pieces of various items. For example, if you had a dress shirt that came with special cufflinks or metal collar stays or something and you lost one. Or you own a nice pair of sunglasses but lost or broke the case that it came with. Or, as I recently did, you lose the gasket on a kitchen blender down the disposal. lol.

Usually all it takes is looking the company info up on the web, sending them an email or maybe making a phone call. Tell them how much you enjoy their product and ask nicely and they'll send you what you need.

Do not quietly walk up behind someone swinging a golf club, baseball bat, or other similar instrument.

An ankleless sock is just large enough to pull tightly over the sole, heel and front of a shoe and is much better and cheaper than a shoe bag.

Maybe. But there are a couple of things you can actually cook in a micro that are superior, usually in time taken and clean up required. Those would be: bacon (paper towels top and bottom to absorb fat), the aforementioned and deeeeeelicious scrambled egg and a big ol'l baked tater.

Your post was the only one that wasted my time so far. I have been able to spew delightful tips about shoe socks and bacon. What more do want?
