    Best Before (MM #4947)
    2024/10/07
    For decades, products have had expiration dates. However, many companies are vague about the shelf life of their products. Rather than use words like expires by, they use best before or sell by. However, consumers can interpret these words in different ways. California has passed a law that goes into effect in 2026 to change this wording. Many expect other states will quickly adopt these changes, too. It could even become a federal law. Soon, in California, products will use the terms best if used by or simply use by. Experts say this change will reduce waste and stop people from throwing away products that are still good to use...

    Better Known As (MM #4946)
    2024/10/06
    For many years, I've had an issue when people use the word friend. What does it mean? There are varying levels, so what constitutes friendship to you might differ for me. Because we're friends on Facebook, are we really that in the real world? I lost a friend, or acquaintance if you prefer, late last week. He was born Boyd Meredith but was better known as A.J. McCloud. I knew A.J. for roughly thirty years, but did I truly know him? I didn't know his real name. And that's something commonplace in the business since so many use a stage name. But if you don't know their real name...

    Big Mac (MM #4945)
    2024/10/05
    The Big Mac has been one of McDonald's most popular sandwiches for over 50 years. Initially created to compete with the Big Boy Double Decker Burger, it went nationwide in 1968. The sandwich was an immediate hit. Known for its catchy jingle in the 1970s and its secret sauce, the Big Mac, has never left the menu. There have been variations throughout the years, but next week, McDonalds in the US will debut a new version already popular in Europe, the Chicken Big Mac. Just take away the burger patties and replace them with McChicken patties...

    Paywall (MM #4944)
    2024/10/04
    For years, people have been saying that free content on the internet is going away. It's always referenced as sometime in the next five years; content will be going behind a paywall. Many newspapers and magazines have already made the move. Since you have to pay for subscriptions to the physical product, it was a minor change for some. The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Rolling Stone, and many others have been paid sites for years. Many of these companies haven't been able to sell enough advertising to keep them free. Well, now two more major players are going behind the paywall...

    Office Culture (MM #4943)
    2024/10/03
    The other day, I discussed Amazon's return-to-work mandate, which will take effect in January. Their decision could help other CEOs do the same. A new study says that nearly 80% of major corporation CEO's think that all companies will do away with the hybrid work model. Many claim that people working from home has hurt their office culture. In reality, it's easier to keep a handle on people when they're in the office every day. But many workers will fight back. They feel the work is still getting done, and a work-from-home or hybrid model helps the work-life balance...

    Dead Mouse (MM #4942)
    2024/10/02
    I had to take my car in for a repair yesterday. I wasn't sure what was causing the problem. When I turned my defroster on high, it sounded like a jet airplane taking off. I expected it to be the blower motor or perhaps the housing around it. I'm unsure how all that works under my hood, but I was prepared for the worst. I was stunned when I discovered the real problem: a dead mouse in my blower motor. I know that mice will get into vehicles to avoid the cold, but they're usually found in cars parked for a long time. You often see them in a barn or field, not a driveway...

    Get Gas (MM #4941)
    2024/10/01
    There are some things we do that we give thought to them. These are simple things that you've done thousands upon thousands of times. But then, one day, something changed. I get gas at least once a week. I've done that nearly every week, sometimes more, sometimes less, for over 45 years. Usually, it's the same routine: Pull up to the pump, put your credit card in, pump your gas. But the other day, something happened to me at the gas pump for the first time. The price I paid jumped 30 cents between the time I put my credit card in and when the pump started flowing...

    Lights On (MM #4940)
    2024/09/30
    It's been decades since I took driver's ed, but I still know the rules of the road. Through the years I've held a driver's license in seven states, and most of the rules are the same in most. But late last week, I wondered if others remembered the rules. We left for Indiana on Friday to catch my nephew's football game. The vast storm associated with Hurricane Helene was already hitting part of Tennessee and Kentucky with rain and fog. So, per the rules of the road, I turned my headlights on. Sadly, I was one of the few who did. And that confuses me...
