What a great tip! I'm going to keep that in mind for the next time I have a clogged sink. Do you think it works with clogged-up toilets, too?

I try to live my life with no egrets.

What's really gotten worse is this trend where you try to log in to something online (bank, email, work site, airline account, etc,) and, even though you've correctly typed your name and password, the site still won't let you in until it sends a code to your cellphone. Problems:1) Contrary to what 19-year-old think, not every person has a cellphone;2) Cellphones can break (because they're made poorly and are fragile);3) Cellphones can get lost or stolen;4) Cellphones don't work in other countries, so when I'm on a trip abroad, I cannot log in and pay my credit card bill, even though I have internet access and know my password.

It seems like a fascinating place and I hope I get the opportunity to go see it some day. I never realized that the entire island is dependent on Diesel fuel for their electricity.

That time I went to Thailand, I lowered the average pooping time for the entire human race all by myself by about 2 seconds.

The few times when my parents left me with a babysitter, they didn't WANT to be interrupted; that's why they went out in the first place.

Did somebody drop a Cheerio into the baby's mouth?

That was an unpleasant read, right before I go to bed. What a messed-up family.

Glad nobody got killed, but that close call sounds like a good argument for NOT jumping out of airplanes.

Here's a traveler's tip: You're allowed to go INSIDE a Chick-Fil-A restaurant and eat. Most Americans think you have to go through Chick-Fil-A's drive-thru and eat in your car.

I wish American restaurants wouldn't serve such large portions, but I get why they do it: if you have 100 customers a day, you can sell 200 customers-worth of food by doubling the portions, and therefore the price. If Americans would cut their restaurant-meal in half at the beginning and then plan to take half of it home for later, we'd see a national weight-loss after 6 months.

'Led'

They could have given that poor robot a retractable kickstand. It never gets to rest.

This is exactly why computers were invented!
