I believe it's sometimes referred to colloquially as "Train Time" or "Train Schedule Time" in the UK at least.

Anyway, I switched my phone to this years ago mainly so I would be quicker at recognizing and converting the time. Subtracting by 12 is now my speciality ;)

Bananas have a tendency to make me really full actually. Also a little bloated.

I use the "notes" or "notepad" feature on my phone. Uses less memory, and easily categorized - not to mention I could use code which makes something sensitive more secure.

My grandmother turned me on to a mixture of 1tbs ammonia + 1/2 cup of peroxide, apply with a small dropper for dribbles and blot with paper towel. Of course, this is for light color carpet etc.

My favorite thing about IKEA is browsing the website and catalogue BEFORE I go to the store. That way we can look at exactly what we want, make a decision (either before, or quickly there) and be done.

If shopping is stressful, you're doing it wrong.

Is it just me or does that first stock pic make it look like someone's about to do coke off that iPad? No?

Brilliant for beginners!! I'm ashamed that I can't use chopsticks properly. I am not ashamed to try training chopsticks if it means I can eat my food before it gets cold!

Oh great. More photoshopped things that will appear on Pinterest and taken to be real. Just what it needed.

@Jasmineisdomestic dishwashers still take less energy and water than hand washing. Also....you don't have to hand wash!

I wish more apts would consider doing this. We have a tiny kitchen but a full-size dishwasher that we have trouble filling up every week. We could really use the extra cabinet space one of these would free up.

The link doesn't say, but is the catalytic converter a thing you can have replaced with a plastic one? There was a bout of repeat car-part thefts in my area and some body shops started replacing the parts with plastic ones that still worked and wouldn't be attractive to thieves.

First of all, *everything* looks good with grey. Second, I think you can paint just as you've said and it would look fine - think of the stairs part as an "accent" wall.

I sleep closest to the window so the light wont disturb the hubby prone to migraines. Our arrangement happens to oddly correlate with the effect described above.

Oh my gawd, are we really having a high-and-mighty argument about paper vs smart phone?

When did the trend of the "off light" come into play? I've noticed it on more and more electronics over the years. What is the point of an off light? I turned the thing off for a reason!

I have to echo the baulking at not freezing pasta. We make a large batch of our favorite pasta dish once a year and have left-overs in the freezer for months. It's delicious and the texture change is minimal to non-existent. Ditto to extra helpings of lasagne.

That does sound frightening if you aren't a chef. I would make everything except the eggs ahead of time and keep it warm in the oven. Then make the eggs to order - you can have more than one pan going at a time to make it faster, but probably one other person should help keep an eye on them all.

I've only ever taken time off to watch the Royal Wedding. Though in 2014 the hubs and I might be taking a few days or half days to watch the World Cup - there were a few games in 2010 we would have preferred to watch live.
