    Phrases that need to die a quick, excruciating death

    Phrases that need to die a quick, excruciating death

    "Life hack" Stupidest phrase I've ever heard. "Whatnot" Pretty much just a mental pause that gives the speaker time to frame his/her next thought.

    Phrases that need to die a quick, excruciating death

    "Reach out" People in business don't call, email, text any more. All they do is reach out. Drives me crazy.

    Ooma Telo Users?

    We've used the basic service on Ooma for quite a while now (the tax-only price plan - about $3/month). It's awesome. No hesitation - I recommend it. Look for a refurb unit - half the price and mine worked like brand new.

    Clueless - Beginner Upgrade to Keg?

    Hey Sleep Apnea folks!

    Had my tonsils out years ago - extremely large and obstructive - but that didn't end up lasting for long. Recently had a sleep study and prescribed an APAP machine (Auto-titrating) - It analyzes my breathing and sets its pressure where it needs to be. It also backs way off when I breathe out...

    Witty beer names - how'd that start, do you like them, and how do you name yours?

    Well...for a commercial brewery a name gives the consumer something to remember that makes a brew stand out from the competition. Improves the chances the consumer will be able to pick it out next time they're at the store. For home brewers? To each his own. My most recent experiment with...
