I have four requirements for a watch: 1) Bold, easy to read numbers on an analog face. 2) Easy band. 3) Long battery. 4) Dirt cheap. The cheapest analog-faced wrist watch I\u2019ve found is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B000GB0G7A\/recomendos-20\" target=\"_blank\">Casio MQ24<\/a>. It costs $10. I\u2019ve worn most of the cheap ones (Swatch, Timex) and this one lasts the longest. (What usually gives out first on these cheapies is the winding stem for changing the time.) \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Health:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00JEQQOGU\/recomendos-20\" target=\"_blank\">GUM Soft-Picks<\/a> do a better job than toothpicks or floss for cleaning food and plaque from between my teeth. The soft green brush pushes out all the gunk without hurting. I buy the version that comes with the travel cases. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contacts without prescription:<\/strong><br \/>\nI recently went to the optometrist and got a new prescription for contacts, but for the last 7+ years I\u2019ve been ordering my contacts without one from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.1-save-on-lens.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">1-Save-On-Lens<\/a>. I\u2019ve never had an issue. I ended up buying my new contacts through the same site because it was cheaper than what my optometrist wanted to charge me. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Travel tip:<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you lose or forget to bring a cable, adapter or charger check with your hotel. Most hotels now have a drawer full of cables, adapters and chargers others have left behind, and probably have the one you are missing. You can often claim it after borrowing it. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learning:<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re wondering what you\u2019re made of, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/earth\/story\/the-making-of-me-and-you\" target=\"_blank\">BBC\u2019s The Making of Me and You<\/a> will tell you in a very fascinating way.
