Thats a good question. What should the save icon be?

If you still use ice trays, after the water has frozen turn the tray upside down. You'll know if your freezer has defrosted.

The typewriter I learned to type on really didn't plug into anything, not even the wall. It's not that I'm that old, it's just that the school could only afford electric typewriters for half the class and guess which half I was in.

It looks like a practical joke, like plastic forks in the yard.That said, how about sticking Dixie cups in the fence? It would be more effective as far as privacy is concerned.

I wouldn't call this a car seat or a booster seat. How about seat cushion? Just add a team logo.

I use the ziplock twistlock containers. The small ones are good for one serving size. They stack well and are pretty sturdy.

It looks like a messanger bag. Someone was clever enough not to get one with flowers or pokadots.

Depends, did anyone see you?

I hope this spin off lives up to its name. In my opinion the Food Network is jumping the shark with shows like Private Chefs of Beverly Hills and Chef vs. City. Initially I enjoyed Throwdown but how long can they carry on the rues that someone is getting a TV special about the food they cook and not know Bobby Flay is coming. Then there's Dinner Impossible where you can count on some scripted screw up to overcome at the last moment. I'm annoyed with the characters they have doing some of the shows like Paula Dean, the Neelys, Aaron McCargo and Guy Fieri. I say characters because to me it seems that the show is more about the over the top character then the content of the show. I'm from South Carolina and every time I hear Paula’s saying "Hey Ya'll" it makes me cringe. Also don’t get me wrong, I like Guy’s Big Bite but how long can you take those catch phrases. The Food Network has become more about characters and drama then food. How many times have you heard "Remember when MTV played music videos?” It makes me wonder how long it will be before we can say something similar about the Food Network. I'm glad to hear more people are watching PBS because I grew up watching Julia Child and Justin Wilson on SCETV. Yes they were both characters but to me there was much more to the show. Incidentally I think Cooks Country is one of the best cooking shows out there.

One last thing, Youtube has an abundance of instructional videos by regular schmos like you and me that may not have the production budget but still manage do a fine job of passing on the knowlege.
