Spam beater:<\/strong>
\n10 Minute Mail is a disposable email address. Just go to the website, and you are presented with a newly-minted email address that self-destructs after ten minutes. Here\u2019s a sample address: l544960@mvrht.com. Use it when a web form requires an email address and you don\u2019t want to end up on their list. From the FAQ: \u201cIf the website makes you verify the email address by sending you a link you have to click on, then you can read the email right here on www.10minutemail.com<\/a> and click on the link.\u201d \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Eatable:<\/strong>
\nWe eat enough granola that we can\u2019t keep up making our own. But most store-bought granola is way too sweet with sugar. And it\u2019s expensive. For the past many years I\u2019ve been gobbling up Bob\u2019s Red Mill Honey Granola<\/a>, bought in 4.5 pound bulk packages on Amazon. It is only mildly sweet using honey, and not expensive. We add our own nuts, raisins, etc. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Money management:<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m liking the new Mint<\/a>\u00a0much more than before. Now that it\u2019s merged with Mint Bills, I can manage both bills and accounts in one place, and it was a lot easier to connect to all my accounts than before. Also, being able to view all my transactions in one place and categorize them permanently makes budgeting painless. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Writing:<\/strong>
\nI do most of my writing and editing in Google Docs. Sometimes, though, I am asked to edit a manuscript in Word. In those cases, I don\u2019t really use Word because it is bloated and clunky. Instead, I use a free Word-compatible word processor called Bean<\/a> (for OS X only). It\u2019s snappy and the \u201cfull screen\u201d view creates a distraction-free editing experience. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Folding hack:<\/strong>
\nI thought I was a pro at folding clothes (thanks to my college days spent working at Gap), but recently came across this hack for folding North Face jackets in an Amazon review<\/a> and was amazed at how compact this technique made my hoodie sweater. I rolled it into the size of softball and was able to carry it in my small crossbody bag. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n
