1. We were approved for WAY more home than I was comfortable buying. This was in 2003 and everyone said “Buy as much as you can, your home will always appreciate in value.” This is BAD advice. Your payment should be no more than 25% of your household take home pay.
I was very tempted to ignore any comments like this, but I feel like we need at least one to demonstrate exactly what I’m talking about. Because this? This is exactly the problem.

It was arguably the biggest moment in the history of American women’s sports, and the single most memorable and…
Some more do’s and don’ts (we removed these illustrations for space reasons, but they’re fun!):
I do voice-over work on the side. My former employer told me to remove all reference to my side business on Linked-In because he perceived having a second job as “not being successful.” I changed jobs instead. Interestingly, my current employer had me narrate some training videos so I not only get to add the work to…
The Hyundai Leviticus would be insanely fiddly.
I was a car stereo installer way back when that was a thing. My favorite customer experience was when a guy came in for a deck for his daughter’s spanking new Neon or something.
I work in customer support for a software company. I wish people would understand that I’m really here to help you, I’m not going to blame you for your mistakes, so when I ask you if anything changed with your system, just admit it.

When I say that I’m a writer, though, I get asked about fiction novels, so I have to clarify Lifehacker, etc, and then explain…
Do it for your health, not for your looks.
They say worrying does you no good, but worrying productively can actually get you through anything
Clinical trials are the basis of doctors’ understanding of whether a drug is safe and effective. But the trials that…
Just some quick thoughts:
You would be hard pressed to find someone in the gym who isn’t there to reach some kind of goal. Whether it be…
This is so timely, as I was told off by a cop* and a good samaritan** earlier this week for leaving my two-year-old in the car.
Nutcase could break into my house and steal him at night. Nutcase could throw a ninja throwing star at him while I walk with him. Nutcase could shoot up the playground he’s in. Aliens could teleport him off his big wheel at the park. An evil horse could hunt him down and kick him in the chest. There’s some risks for…
You may have seen it in the news: Beards are filthy. So filthy, in fact, that they have more poop bacteria than…
Now go ahead and translate your analogy back to glycemic load. What were you saying again?
