LPT: Blackbird instead of beep…. I’m a diabetic and use a system on my phone to manage my insulin pump and blood sugar levels.

LPT: Save Voicemail Recordings There used to be an app/service (in the UK) around 2010ish, called Hullomail, that captured your mobile voicemail messages and emailed them to you as a sound file attachment. Unfortunately it only seemed to work for a short time (prob cos it was free) – maybe about a year – but in my case, luckily, it captured several voicemails left by my paren…

As the cost of energy rises, a lot of people are having trouble being able to afford to keep their houses warm during the winter months. While it’s important to keep your home or apartment above freezing (to prevent pipes from bursting, etc.), it’s much more efficient – and therefore, cheaper – to keep yourself warm than to keep an entire room w…

LPT: Baking – placing cookie 🍪 dough evenly if you’re like me, when you’re baking cookies, placing them on the cookie sheet evenly can be a challenge… and if you don’t, the cookies can spread into each other and make a mess if you use baking parchment (and why wouldn’t you?) you can fold the longest side of the parchment in half, then in half again, turn and fold into thirds when you open…

LPT: It’s easier to remember the year someone was born, and calculate their age in your head, than it is to remember how old someone is. As you get older, you will usually underestimate how old someone is. This method works for me.
