So here's one. Parking in Baltimore for O's/Ravens games.

 

Parking on Park Ave just north of Fayette Street is free after 6 p.m. Mon-Sat and free all day Sunday. It's metered until 4 on Mon-Fri and there's a no stopping sign 4-6 pm but after 6 parking is free. It's just north of the arena so it's not a long walk to the stadium at all. That section of the street doesn't look enticing but I've been parking there for 3 years and never had a problem.

When you submit a resume for a job, for the love of Pete don't name your file "Resume.pdf".   You will become one of 200 Resume(1).pdf files to your prospective employer.   Name it "Lastname_Firstname_Resume.pdf" or something, get your name in there.

Since you gave up your secret parking spot, I'll give up mine.  

 

I've never come down for a Raven's game, but this works out well for O's games.   There's a paid parking lot to the west of M&T Bank Stadium at the corner of Ridgley St and W W St.   I am always able to find an open spot on the street along side that parking lot on Ridgely St where parking is free.

You will now when all the posters take your spot. Lol.

When I take my socks off they would always wind up being inside out.   When it came time to do laundry it always took an extra 5-10 minutes to flip them back before pairing them up and putting them away.  Now I just take the extra second when I take them off to make sure they aren't inside out.  Putting them away is a breeze now and takes a fraction of the time it did before.

Cause when you have little kids, those 5-10 seconds add up, and they are like lifetimes.

You know the pain-in-the-ass plastic clamshell packaging that some items come encased in? That stuff that's so hard to open you shred your hands or break a pair of scissors on? Know what works great to open it? A manual can opener.

The best of the password-manager bunch, IMO...  it sync's for free across PC's... to also sync across mobile data, you need the $12/yr app...

I forgot about that $12 a year.  I pay it because it's worth it.

Fridge not getting cold enough? Take the cover of the thermostat dial and there's a little screw that can be tightened to make the temperature colder.
