Reading makes me sleepy.

MY problem is that my mate insists on sleeping in every morning. I don't care if he does, but it means I must remain quiet, so I can't blast music or clean or do any of the productive, motivating things that are why I am getting up early in the first place. Even if I make coffee, if I sit down to read, surf the web,…

Yes, but the real question is can I see how the process works in the video above?

Oh god it's so exhausting, right? I can't even tell him because then he just complains about how I don't care about the things he cares about. I just need to minimize it as much as possible so I can live life. How much time and mental effort of our lives have we wasted on listening to the complaining? I'm just so…

I am married to and work with a chronic complainer. And while the tips here are 100% correct, I have to say that having to listen and nod and sympathize and CODDLE is &!@?ing EXHAUSTING. I am constantly wasting my time coddling when I could be doing something productive. And if you think that coddling a complainer is…

Well this just sounds like a recipe for stress...

Take 2000 to 5000IU of Vitamin D. That's how I survive it.

No lie- FB messaging, groups and events helped me make a non-profit organization out of nothing into a huge movement and successful crowdfund campaign. No way any other platform could have worked as well to make us so successful. I hate a lot about FB but the group/event system is unparalleled.

Yes but what do you do when you're married to a complainer?

If you don't know whether or not you can do something about a problem, attempting to determine what, if anything you can do, is the definition of worrying. So I, too, call BS.

Oh my gosh this is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!!

Wow I can't believe how much dislike this hack is getting. Perfect timing for me; my husband and I were just wondering if there were a way to make spaghetti sauce with fresh ingredients. This would be good for people on a raw diet (not me) or for those who recognize that cooking fruits and vegetables down can remove a…

Number One: Critical Fricken Thinking

For years my husband and I have had discussion after discussion and we just cannot find a truly practical reason to have children. Every single reason we come up with, even seemingly rational ones like having someone to care for you when you're older, are selfishly motivated. It's just not practical to being another…

Yet another devoted and constant Pocket user. I have no complaints about this app or it's integration. It's one of the best and most used apps I've ever had. The people at Pocket deserve the mention and credit. Thanks.

Yeah I'm sure my boss will go for my making my job a pebble. In fact, I'm sure our entire capitalist system won't mind if we all just make our jobs the pebbles in our jars.

Dad: "Too much of anything is bad for you". Mom: "You're washable".

This is the most ridiculous article I've ever read. Let me get this straight: as long as your moral compass indicates that you should sit in your chair quietly, not complain and follow rules you'll be successful? Well color me surprised. I'm just so taken aback at the concept that authoritarianism begets success in an…

As many have noted here, in a world filled with less and less empathy, this is nice in theory but it's also excruciatingly painful. As a deeply empathic person I've learned that the Golden Rule of treating people how you want to be treated is a joke. As the article says, you have to treat people the way THEY want to…
