    Rinse Your Dishes (MM #5353)
    2025/11/17
    There's been an ongoing debate dating back at least to the 1970s. And it all involves your dishwasher. The hot topic? Should you rinse your dishes before you put them in the dishwasher? The experts finally come up with a definitive answer. Of course, the answer isn't definitive because there are always exceptions to the rule. The good news is that, for the most part, you don't have to pre-rinse anything. But I should put an asterisk next to that answer, because that rule doesn't pertain to everyone. While the technology has improved, you'll need to determine whether you can follow this rule every time you load your dishwasher...

  • Key Fob (MM #5352)

    Key Fob (MM #5352)
    2025/11/16
    Have you ever noticed that every vehicle key fob is different? I don't mean the size or shape, I'm talking about the placement of the buttons. From a safety standpoint, we'd want them all to be the same. In a perfect world, you'd like the unlock and lock buttons to be in the same place on every fob. It seems logical to me, but I'm not a car designer. My wife just got a new vehicle, and her lock button is where my unlock button is, and vice versa. So, naturally, every time I use the fob to get in her vehicle, it doesn't perform the action I want. I know it's a minor complaint, but it's a problem to me...

    Top Foods (MM #5351)
    2025/11/15
    So much of the Internet and social media has become clickbait. And some of it is amusing enough that you have to follow along. Recently, I've seen a rash of posts ranking the top 'fill in the blank' items, say, for instance, the top foods. I'm talking about restaurants that serve items including the best onion rings, hamburgers, and milkshakes. And for some reason, I always have to see it where things rank. And of course, I never agree. The one thing I've learned is that you can't definitively rank anything, especially food. But these sites must be popular. And the only reason they exist is that they must make a lot of money too...

    New Policy (MM #5350)
    2025/11/14
    The holidays are fast approaching. And for many of us, I’ve been spending more time in big box stores and shopping malls than we’d prefer. Many businesses continue to struggle. First, they dealt with the effects of the pandemic a few years ago. But since then, the economy has been up and down, which has people worried. One store, Target, has a new policy that it believes will boost its business and get it back on track. Their new CEO thinks Customer service is the key. And he thinks he’s come up with an idea that’ll help deliver exceptional service. And well, that may matter to some people, but for many, it’s all about saving money...

    Round Up (MM #5349)
    2025/11/13
    A few months ago, I mentioned that the US government had decided to stop minting pennies. Well, it looks like it's finally happened. Yesterday, the US Mint produced its final series of pennies, for good. Many retailers are stressed about how they'll handle prices and change. Some people want a consistent policy for all retailers, whether they're stores, restaurants, or even small businesses. But right now, nobody seems to agree on a solution. Some stores say they will round up prices to the nearest five or ten cents. And in some cases, they'll round down. Expect to see a lot of upset people when the cash register rings...

    Joy (MM #5348)
    2025/11/12
    Some words are often associated with the holidays. Sure, words like merry come to mind, but today I'm talking about the word joy. I've noticed recently that a few TV commercials prominently feature the word. And while it's been around forever, it surprised me that it's playing such a high profile in these commercials. I don't feel much joy these days, and honestly, what does it really mean? You can look at the dictionary definition, and it tells you what it is, but not exactly. I realize it's one of those words that means something different to each of us. But right now, I'm not feeling it...

    Free Perks (MM #5347)
    2025/11/11
    Today is Veterans Day. A day set aside each year to honor those who have served and fought for our country. It doesn't matter if you served two years or 25; it's a day for all veterans. It's also a day when many businesses try to use the situation to increase sales. Many offer free perks to those who have served our country. But just me, or have you seen more businesses offering freebies? How do you prove you're a veteran? Active-duty personnel carry military IDs — that can prove their service? My 90-year-old father has no military ID, yet he's a veteran. I'm sure he'd love some of those free offers. But I'm not sure how he can prove his service to our country...

    Gales of November (MM #5346)
    2025/11/10
    Today is a significant anniversary for an event that most of us would never know about if it weren't for a song. A song that talks about the gales of November, about how the Chippewa called Lake Superior Gitche Gumee. Of course, I'm talking about The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, which happened 50 years ago today. In the song, it says the boat was on its way to Cleveland, and while many crew members lived throughout Northeast Ohio, this time it was on its way to Toledo. I learned so much about the ship's history through my radio, not my history book. And it shows us the power of song in an event never taught in schoolbooks...
