Crushing things is hard (unless you have superhumanly strong hands). When it comes to pills, I've used everything from hammers to books to steamrollers to grind them into a fine powder for snorting sprinkling over my dog's food.

SkyMall Monday: Top 5 things to crush with the Quick and Easy Pill Grinder
Crushing things is hard (unless you have superhumanly strong hands). When it comes to pills, I've used everything from hammers to books to steamrollers to grind them into a fine powder for snorting sprinkling over my dog's food. Whether your dog (or child or spouse or guy ...SkyMall Monday: Product Video Edition
I've been writing SkyMall Monday since October 13, 2008. That's two-and-a-half years of reviewing SkyMall products. In that time, I've written over 130 SkyMall Monday posts. I've gotten to know a few people at SkyMall, but I am in no way, shape or form affiliated with the ...SkyMall Monday: Talking Hand Exerciser
I hate working out. I'm not proud of that and, despite my aversion to exercise, I do engage in quite a bit of it. I enjoy long bike rides, hiking and getting caught in the rain. That said, staying fit can be tedious. Perhaps that's because exercise equipment is so dull. ...SkyMall Monday: Mombasa the Garden Giraffe vs. Boris the Bronotosaurus
Here at SkyMall Monday, we love lawn ornaments. By now, you should know about our affinity for the Garden Yeti, his baking abilities and incredibly high threshold for pain. This week, however, we take a look at the two biggest beasts offered up in SkyMall. Rather than ...SkyMall Monday: Nuclear Globe
Since the Cold War, we have lived in fear of nuclear war. Nuclear disasters from Chernobyl to the recent events in Japan have showed the force and dangers of nuclear power. But, what if I told you that something nuclear could also be fun? While we don't power SkyMall Monday ...SkyMall Monday: Hangin' Around Henrietta
We all get lonely sometimes. Maybe you're an only child with no one to invite to your tea party. Perhaps you're an elderly widow who's no longer able to attend the bridge games that used to fill your days. Or you could just be a serial killer biding your time in your ...SkyMall Monday: Towel Origami Book
As we march deeper into the 21st century, technology will only become a greater force in our lives. From the internet to mobile devices to the near-imminent arrival of jet packs, innovation will continue to push us forward. The flip side, however, is that we will lose more ...SkyMall Monday: Five Stones Ring
There was big news out of SkyMall Monday headquarters this weekend. I got engaged! As you can imagine, we're pretty thrilled. As you might also imagine, there's been a lot of talk about rings. I was fortunate enough to be able to give my fiancée my great-grandmother's ...SkyMall Monday: USB Cup Warmer
Is coffee part of your morning routine? Do you need coffee to wake up in the morning? Do you tell people not to talk to you until you've had your third cup of coffee? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you most certainly have a caffeine addiction. Don't worry, ...SkyMall Monday: Microwave cookware makes nuking easy
Many people are intimidated by cooking. They worry that it's too difficult - or that they are too inept - to produce an edible meal. "The only thing I know how to make is cereal," people will say. Well, as much as bowls of Cap'n Crunch helped me get through my freshman year ...SkyMall Monday: Reel Marshmallow Roaster
Despite the fact that spring is off to a chilly start here in the Northeast, we've begun to plan some camping trips for the upcoming summer. If you want to book the best campsites, you have to reserve early. As such, we've started taking a look at our camping gear over here ...SkyMall Monday: Inflatable Turkey
Few, if any, SkyMall products leave us speechless. Sure, there was the one product that I disliked, but I had plenty to say about that. In fact, I usually can't say enough about SkyMall gear. This week's SkyMall Monday, however, was a challenge to write. I stared the product ...SkyMall Monday: Parks and Recreation
This week's SkyMall Monday takes a look at last week's episode of the NBC show Parks and Recreation. In the episode, the staff of the Pawnee, Indiana Parks and Recreation Department goes on a team building camping trip. One member of the team, Tom Haverford (played ...
SkyMall Monday: Packable Wine Glasses
Drinking while you're traveling can be tricky. Open container laws, TSA regulations and the challenge of packing wine bottles (despite advances in bottle protection technology) conspire to make enjoying your favorite wines away from home harder than it needs to be. It ...SkyMall Monday: Message In Time Clock
Cuckoo clocks used to be all the rage. Clock makers earned great esteem for their craftsmanship and the owners of the chirping clocks appreciated the announcement of each passing hour. Of course, this was before watches were affordable and things like cable boxes, microwaves ...SkyMall Monday: Portable Neck Traction
Neck and back pain are topics that we have covered quite a bit in this SkyMall Monday space. Whether you have a kink in your neck from a long flight, stiffness from sleeping awkwardly or just tweaked some muscles attempting to carry your rolling luggage on your back, neck ...SkyMall Monday: Pillow Speaker
While some people enjoy falling asleep to the soothing sounds of music or the television, the noise can disturb others. Whether you're at home trying to sleep next to your spouse who prefers peace and quiet or on a plane where you want some background noise to drawn out the ...SkyMall Monday: Fake TV Burglar Deterrent
Going on vacation should be a stress relief. Putting your job, chores and responsibilities aside for a break from your everyday routine is just what everyone needs. However, leaving your home unattended can be a worrisome endeavor. Sure, you could get a housesitter, but that ...SkyMall Monday: Products rejected by Skymall
Obviously, we love SkyMall and celebrate it every week right here in this space with SkyMall Monday. We enjoy everything that SkyMall has to offer (with only one exception). It's no wonder, then, that I was recently quoted in a CNN.com article about SkyMall. Despite being a ...SkyMall Monday: Temperature Regulating Sheets
For many people, it can be difficult to sleep comfortably. Whether it's because of stress, noise or horrific night terrors, sleep does not come easily to everyone. One of the biggest challenges to sleeping well is simply getting comfortable. Sleeping in a cold room will ...
