Sure it looks neat, but Why do you need all that tech? There are much simpler ways to make sure a plant stays watered. Keeping a plant alive is more about reading directions.

I'm not being snarky here. this is a depressing exercise. I can't see my happy money number being a practical one.

the cost really depends where you live. for me it is more like $250k or more. Even public schools cost money, and health costs add up. Thank goodness Pennsylvania has good health care options.

hahaha. what a euphemism. I like empowerment and all, but many kinds of pressure are negative. When you are struggling to make it through, yes it is a growth opportunity, but it takes a toll in other ways.

just remember not to be cheap w/ tips while you are saving. the wait staff are still working hard regardless.

I agree with this sentiment of empowerment. But how does this stand with people who get crap handed out to them through no fault of their own? sometimes I like this statement. but try telling this to a starving child in a 3rd world country and see how far you get.

You mean Virginia isn't everywhere? :)

Thank you. If I'm going to clean up for cleaners, might as well just clean up myself.

Thats insane. A for-profit thrift store that collects donations? ick.

It is interesting. I was going to get on my high horse, and say how can you have another person clean up after you, especially in the bathroom. But then again I should probably help my wife more, so who I am to lay that kind of judgement smack down.

I have to say it because I am a lazy person. You seriously need to consider whether you are being lazy or not. I consider this the ultimate in self indulgence, and not being personally responsible.

that is an interesting thought. I think my roommates would have told me to get my lazy butt and do housecleaning though.

oh look a visit from the snark shark :)

Interesting. I wonder why. Just to give the company a presence on linked in?

That is very interesting. I have gotten very used to having almost no privacy in certain areas. Maybe that's good, maybe that's not. However as to #4, that has nothing to do with LinkedIn. Yes we are more than walking resumes. But that's a different world. You either play the game in the professional in the…

haha, nice. But I don't think that is really a problem. Just ignore it. The worst that happens is that you'll show up on a couple more searches. Plus you can remove endorsements too.

this was my point. don't do that. Its really a waste of peoples time IMHO.

sorry, but how is it intrusive? Just don't share what you want to. Its nothing more than sharing a resume online.

What's with all the linkedin hate? I enjoy it a lot and use it constantly. Most people have problems I think from abusing the connect feature. I listened to linkedin and only actually linked with people I've actually known and worked with. That I find tremendously helpful.

wow. the arrogance. smh.
