That hard-to-reach spot.
Typically the sliding pane is on the interior, and you can remove it. Grab it by both sides, push up and the bottom will be free from the track. Pivot out and remove.

So stinky
Also works for skunks.
Why on earth would you want to bath a skunk?

the vice grip
Do you want to avoid the munchies too? Seriously, this seems like an almost impossible question to answer if one only answers the question as asked.

What was your favorite course in college?
Inexplicably, Urban Planning. That will be of little help to you, since my love of the course entirely had to do with the professor. Moral of the story: find the best professors rather than the best subjects.

Since no one has really answered your question: Bass fishing. Are you any good at Bass fishing?

A Hummingbird-Friendly Backyard.
In our yard, the hummingbirds have become accustomed to both people and dogs. When we sit still, they come to a feeder that is only seven feet from where we sit outside. We also have a feeder hanging one foot outside of a picture window, and the hummers frequent that feeder so long as there isn't a lot of movement inside the house.

rasputin98: In the interest of science I tried your solution, but to no avail. The message I get is that "Microsoft Office Excel cannot find any data to replace."

advice for a first time flyer!
Don't joke about bombs while standing in the security line. Wear socks unless you don't mind walking barefoot through the metal detector. Don't refer to the TSA people as Agents of the Great Satan to their faces.

I’m sincerely glad that I didn’t have some of the more extreme advice in this thread when I took my first flight. Blown eardrums? Hot needles boring into your forehead? Random numbness, swelling, tingling? I’ve flown a million times, at least half of those times with a stuffed head due to my crazy allergies, and I’ve never felt any pain or weird bodily sensations. Are you people flying on the space shuttle by any chance? And, I’ve never felt particularly dehydrated, although I always drink my... [more]

Assault
It happens all the time, but it might not happen to you. OJ Simpson killed someone and he didn't go to jail. YMMV.

My front door needs a "Mark as Junk" button
I had a no soliciting sign that didn't seem to work. People would start their sales, religious, or whatever pitch to tell me that they weren't selling anything.
Now I have no sign. I just smile, say no thank you, and close the door before they can say anything.

Hey, lh's answer isn't bad. By that, of course, I mean that it is a good answer, since isn't == is, and bad == good.

Ah, but each are different from other things in the same way. Same difference.

...how do you get more than one difference out of that so that you can compare differences?
If A and B are the same, then they both have similar differences with other things. The comparison is A's differences with C, compared with B's differences with C. Same difference.

What do I do with an ant Queen?
Honestly, if it is really that big, I wouldn't step on it inside the house. I'd try to get a piece of paper under it, carry it outside, and step on it there.
