Good grilling<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s summer, so we have been barbecuing a couple of times a week. I have the classic Weber charcoal grill. I grill beef and chicken directly over the coals, but I\u2019ve been using these\u00a0grill mats<\/a>\u00a0to cook vegetables and fish. They are so thin that they look like they would incinerate in a second, but they are impervious to high heat. They are easy to clean, too. Nothing sticks to them. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Global Forever stamps<\/strong>
\nOccasionally I need to mail a letter in an envelope, with you know, paper inside. I hate going to the post office, so I buy Forever stamps online. These US stamps are good for domestic mail forever (no matter how many price increases there are) so I buy a wad of them. Now the US Post Office has released a\u00a0Global Forever stamp<\/a>\u00a0($1.15) for mailing anywhere in the world. Since they are good forever, I got a bunch of them as well. They are distinctly circular, so they look cool too. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Inspirational read:<\/strong>
\nThis list of\u00a020 Essential Truths That Women Over 50 Want To Share With Younger Women<\/a>\u00a0seem like no-brainers and things I should already be doing daily, but unfortunately for me, I forget. I made a shorter, more personal version of this list for myself and if I\u2019m ever feeling agitated or unbalanced, I read it again to gain perspective and make everything all better. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Cheap flights<\/strong>
\nScott\u2019s Cheap Flights<\/a>\u00a0is a free newsletter that finds amazingly inexpensive flights all over the world. The newsletter includes Google Flights and Momondo links, so you can book the flight yourself. The latest newsletter has a roundtrip flight from Los Angeles to Stockholm for $343. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Save any image you want<\/strong>
\nMy two favorite chrome extensions right now are the\u00a0Image Downloader\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0Nimbus<\/a>. Image Downloader helps me download those annoying images that you can click and zoom on but cannot \u201csave as.\u201d And\u00a0finally<\/i>, with Nimbus I can screenshot an entire webpage without having to shrink the size or save as a multi-page PDF. I\u2019m sure they have other abilities, but those two make my life much easier. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Instant bond<\/strong>
\nI never had much luck using superglue. It really wasn\u2019t instant and it didn\u2019t seem to bond tightly, and I\u2019d get it all over my fingers. The trade secret to using superglue (which all serious model-makers seem to know) is to use an accelerator with it. You spray the glued joint with this catalyst solvent and it cures the glue instantly. Or you can spray one half of the joint with the accelerator and when it touches the other half with the glue it bonds instantly. Yes! I got a\u00a0small spray bottle of accelerator<\/a>\u00a0(the brand doesn\u2019t matter much) but it is so useful I now get the combination of\u00a0glue+accelerator in larger quantities<\/a>. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n
