Game:<\/strong>
\nGoogle Feud<\/a> is a game that challenges you to guess the top ten Google autocompletes for a particular word or term. For instance, the game might prompt you with \u201cmy friend is addicted to\u201d and you have to fill in the rest of the query. (FYI, the top ten autocompletes for this example are weed, her phone, drugs, coke, pills, drama, oxycodone, crack, anime, and alcohol.) \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Stuff:<\/strong>
\nOver the years, I\u2019ve had to buy a variety of bras for different types of dresses and tops (racerback, backless, strapless, etc.), but the most useful purchase I\u2019ve made has been Nippies<\/a>. I\u2019ve had these for a couple years now. They are washable, reusable and so comfortable I forget I have them on. \u2014 CL<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong>
\nBefore buying something on Amazon, enter the URL for the product at fakespot.com<\/a>. This free service will analyze how many shill reviewers have rated a product, and award a \u201cFakespot Grade\u201d from A to F. A low grade doesn\u2019t necessarily mean a product is bad, it just means you shouldn\u2019t take the reviews and user ratings into consideration when making your decision to buy something. \u2014 MF <\/p>\n

Tool:<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m trying out Splash<\/a>, a cool free experimental photo search engine from 500Pixels. You sketch the rough contours of a photo you seek in color, and it will display two dozen images that \u201cmatch\u201d your sketch. The match is mostly in color, mood, and rough shapes, but it does present you with some interesting images, all licensable. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Readables:<\/strong>
\nA long time ago, after a bad breakup I read If the Buddha Dated by Charlotte Kasi<\/a>. By the time I had finished the book, it was covered in notes and dog-eared pages, and I felt healed and ready to move on. Now, as a newlywed, I am enjoying listening to If the Buddha Married<\/a> on Audible. So many great insights and communication tips. \u2014 CL<\/p>\n

Stuff:<\/strong>
\nAll my dress shirts are now \u201cNon-Iron\u201d cotton material. I don\u2019t know how this stuff works, but the ones I clumsily fold into my luggage, will unwrinkle shortly after I put them on. I use Non-Iron Oxford shirts from Land\u2019s End and L.L. Bean, but most clothing brands seem to carry them. Eagle brand Non-Iron shirts<\/a> are popular on Amazon. \u2014 KK <\/p>\n
