One place to put keys. Always. Every time. Immediately after coming in the house.

Emergency key in a combination lock box outside the house

I like this idea. Then you don't need to give your house key to your neighbors.

Agree. Along with disrupt

Maybe you should start a thread about it.

We could curate one.

Right after I elevate these deconstructed tacos.

I agree, let's amplify!

Olds of DCUM: these are the same. Different terminology, same concept. Welcome to the web!

My life hack is that I get a Very Serious Look on my face and demand my daughter hand over her phone for me to look through. Then I hand her the garbage and say she can have her phone back as soon as she's thrown it out.

I don't look through her phone, and the trash is taken out. Win/win.

My personal favorite #LifeHack — only read DCUM when properly intoxicated.

Use contact lens cases, the kind with screw-on lids, for certain toiletries when traveling by plane , e.g. foundation, cream blush, primer, moisturizer. So easy to fit in a quart-size ziplock and that's all you need for a couple of days.

Before I can tomatoes, rhubarb, beans, carrots, okra, squash and zucchini, I pick them off them vines.

Buy rotisserie chickens from Costco. I pull all the meat off the bone and separate them into freezer bags. (I get about 5 bags per chicken.) Then I use the frozen cooked chicken for quick dinners (stir fry, pasta, etc.) I use the chicken carcass to make chicken stock for soup. All for $5 per chicken at Costco.

Double your recipe and freeze half. Always label the meal with a permanent marker.

When I think hack I think taxi. Life hacks is a stupid phrase trying hard to be cool not catching on but I'll play.

Bought a hair dryer stand. Should have bought it years ago. Works great.

Bought an induction cooktop. LOVE IT.

Bought a Gotham steel pan. O M G. It really works. Buying the square one tonight.

Agree. What's the set up on this? Where do you keep it?
