I'm a big fan of gamifying the job if you have roommates to deal with. ChoreWars is perfect for this, since you can play it with your roommates. HabitRPG gives everyone a game they can play on their own, if everyone just wants to do their own thing, but you should still keep a central calendar, even if it's just a…

I suspect that when I am pregnant, I will spend quite a bit of time scolding strangers who suddenly treat my body like it is public property. And yet, it seems necessary. If everyone just smiles and bears it, like this article suggests we should, folks won't get the feedback needed to realize that they should keep…

I went through the hell of dealing with serial companies that, apparently, bought the debt of "Sandra Ruiz" who had my landline number before me. They were your typical offshore scumbag collection companies, based in Florida. It went on for months, multiple daily calls outside the "permitted" hours. I'd told them…

Yes, but what are the long term impacts on the joints?

That is like, straight up Disney/Anime hybrid right there.

I pick a random number, usually over 500, then count back by 7. Usually clears my brain long enough that it shuts up so I can fall asleep.

I work at a call center and this is a part of our daily routine - we get an hour each day to focus on any personal projects that we need to knock out. Knowing that I have an hour dedicated to taking care of any follow-ups, etc. I need to helps alleviate the stress of trying to squeeze it in elsewhere.

If you are already being treated, find a doc who gives you the tools you need to cope, instead of advice that leaves you feeling like it might be worthwhile to ask strangers on a tech blog for advice on coping with a medical condition.

Clap your hands, hug your kid after the game.

my father was the screaming-est crazy hockey dad that ever was. Today, a man like my father would be ejected from the building, but back then, we all just put up with this crazy screaming madman.
Subsequently, i have a pretty high threshold for humiliation.

Having worked at a Day Spa before, I will tell you that in many cases, it is not worth it to pay more for a Deep Tissue massage as opposed to a Swedish massage. Deep Tissue massages are basically Swedish massages, at least the modern technique is largely similar. If your therapist is worth their salt, if you ask…

Make your massage better by telling the therapist to use more or less pressure, what works and doesn't. Even the ones that may claim to be psychic on the side aren't really psychics. And once you find somebody you like, stick with them. The techniques used are secondary to the person using them.

The safe word... until they hear it... they WILL NOT stop.

I was in LV for vacation once, got a deep tissue massage at Caesars Palace. They asked, would you like a male of female employee? I said, "It's deep tissue, bring me whichever one has the largest most muscular forearms!" They accommodated me accordingly and I was met with a large Swedish looking woman who had arms…

...I'm supposed to be washing my sheets weekly?

You're lying. Let me see that Q so I can make sure.

Anyone know the best way to get permanent marker off a forehead? I'm...uh... asking for a friend.
