  1. You’re right; I DID have to watch the snail sex. It was as creepy as predicted, mostly because of the background music.

  2. Yeah, there’s something kind of wrong and “I shouldn’t be watching this” about it.

  3. I didn’t watch the snail sex, but I’m totally buying a new Sigg bottle! I love mine and live in fear of leaving it at some coffee shop for someone else to take home, sterilize and enjoy for themselves. It’s true these things are drop-proof; I’ve dropped mine on the city sidewalk cement 4 times now and it’s only got 3 small dents. Thanks for the link to the coupon!

  4. I have a Kleen Kanteen, which is great, but not as pretty as a Sigg. They have some really great, cheery designs.

Tip of the Day

Bring Your Own Utensils

I carry a titanium backpacking spork around in my purse.  I know that sounds kind of weird, but it saves me from using disposable utensils when I eat out, and it’s so light, I never even notice that I’m carrying it.

Before the Industrail Revolution it was common for guests to be expected to bring their own utensils with them when invited to dine, because utensils were expensive, labor intensive items, and most people didn’t own extra sets.  Now, when it’s possible to buy a set of 1,000 plastic utensils for under $20, people don’t even think about bringing their own.

But think of the plastic waste that can be saved by slipping a fork from home in your purse on the way out the door.  You don’t need anything fancy.  Grab one from your kitchen drawer, or if you’re worried about loosing a piece of a set, pick up a few spare utensils the next time you hit a discount store, thrift shop, or yard sale.  It’s simple a simple way to cut down waste, and it’s always nicer to eat with real utensils anyway.
