If you\u2019re CPR-certified, you can also sign up to receive \u201cCPR-needed\u201d notifications if someone nearby is having a cardiac emergency. Unfortunately, it\u2019s not available in all areas yet, but definitely worth checking out. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Delightful Instagram<\/strong><br \/>\nA delightful Instagram account I enjoy:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/accidentallywesanderson\/?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">Accidental Wes Anderson<\/a>. It\u2019s a curated collection of still images in the style of a Wes Anderson movie. Same symmetry, colors, and tone. The way Wes Anderson would view this Instagram is not in a stream but in grid view.\u00a0 \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amazon $5 credit for late delivery<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re a member of Amazon Prime, you get guaranteed delivery dates for your Prime purchases. I recently learned you can get a $5 credit if a delivery is late. Just go to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/help\/contact-us\/general-questions.html?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon\u2019s Live Chat<\/a>\u00a0and tell the representative that you have a late delivery and want a credit. It\u2019s worked for me all four times I\u2019ve tried it. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sticky remover<\/strong><br \/>\nI reuse jars from the kitchen, for storage and for display items. Getting the jar labels off was a chore until I started using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00SPHYQXM\/recomendos-20\" target=\"_blank\">Goo Gone<\/a> (which we\u2019ve mentioned before but never explicitly recommended). It\u2019s an odorless penetrating oil that unsticks adhesives from anywhere people stick stuff. Spray on, let soak and peel off. Leaves a temporary oil film that evaporates. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>My new favorite peeler<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ve tried a lot of vegetable peelers, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B0000DAQ5E\/recomendos-20\" target=\"_blank\">OXO Good Grips Pro Y-Peeler<\/a> is now my favorite. It feels solid in my hand, and it has a long blade to speed up peeling. It\u2019s great for peeling sweet potatoes. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best lap desk<\/strong><br \/>\nOne thing that has been making my workday easy and versatile is this very comfortable, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B01C785EJ4\/recomendos-20\" target=\"_blank\">useful lap desk by LapGear<\/a> ($35). On it, I can fit my 15&#8243; Macbook, my mouse, and my phone. Which means I can easily switch up my workspace by moving it to my comfy chair or couch and still be productive. I am loving it and should have bought one sooner. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recomendo: issue no. 190<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13684,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[2323],"tags":[2324],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35577"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13684"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35577"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35577\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35579,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35577\/revisions\/35579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
